What than? [Greek or Hebrew] hold fast,1 namely that which you have received, suffering it not to be plucked out of your hands: Hold fast I say, with tooth & nail, till I come: that is to say unto the last judgement. Therefore he testifieth expressly, that this doctrine shall be perpetual, & unchangeable, & therefore to be kept most stiffly of all men, & not to be shrank from, though all the world cry out, & persuade the contrary. Aretas Bish. of Caesarea He required of them nothing else, saith he, but that they would keep safely the godly pledge of faith until his coming. This if we shall do, we may easily eschew the crafts of the devil, & deceivable clouds. For whatsoever they shall bring forth, whatsoever they shall forge & feign, or die with the counterfeited colour of the holy ghost, we shall have always recourse to the simple doctrine of Christ set forth by the Apostles, wherein alone we shall rest, rejecting allthings that shall not accord with the same.

Therfore he testifieth expresly, that this doctrine shalbe perpetual, & vnchangeable, & therfor to be kept most stifly of al mē, & not to be shrōke frō, though al the world crie out, & perswade the cōtrary. Aretas Bish. of Cesaria He required of thē nothing els, saith he, but that thei wold kepe safely the godly pledge of faith vntil his coming. This if we shal do, we may easely eschew the craftes of the deuil, & disceauable cloudes. For whatsoeuer they shall bringe forth, whatsoeuer they shal forge & faine, or die with the coū terfeited colour of ye holi ghost, we shal haue always recours to ye simple doctrine of Christ set forth by thapostles, wherin alone we shal rest, reiecting althīgs yt shal not acerd wt ye same.
