them aswell publicanes fishers and sheepheardes may fynde their edification as great doctours their erudition For those bookes were not made to vayne glorie lyke as were the writynges of the gentile Philosophers and Rethoritians to the intent the makers shoulde be had in admiration for their hye styles and obscure maner and writyng wherof nothyng can be vnderstanded without a maister or an expositour But the Apostles prophetes wrote their bookes so that their speciall intent and purpose myght be vnderstanded and perceaued of euery reader whiche was nothyng but the edification of amendement of the lyfe of them that reade or heare it Who is it that readyng or hearyng read in the Gospell Blessed are they that be meeke Blessed are they that be mercifull Blessed are they that be of cleane heart and such other lyke places can perceaue nothyng except he haue a maister to teache hym what it meaneth Likewyse the signes miracles with all other histories of the doynges of Christe or his Apostles who is there of so simple wit capacitie but he may be able to perceaue and vnderstande them These be but excuses and clokes for the rayne coueringes of their owne idle slouthfulnesse But styll ye wyll say I can not vnderstande it What maruayle Howe shouldest thou vnderstande yf thou wylt not reade nor loke vpon it Take the bookes into thyne handes reade the whole story and that thou vnderstandest kepe it well in memorie that thou vnderstandest not reade it agayne and agayne yf thou can neither so come by it counsayle with some other that is better learned Go to thy curate preacher shewe thy self to be desirous to know learne and I doubt not but God seyng thy diligence and readinesse if no man els teache thee wyll hym selfe vouchsafe with his holy spirite to illuminate thee to open vnto thee that which was locked frō thee Remember the Eunuch of Candace Queene of Ethiopia which albeit he was a man of a wylde and barbarous countrey and one occupied with worldly cares and businesse yet rydyng in his charret he was readyng the scripture Nowe consider yf this man passyng in his iourney was so diligent as to reade the scripture what thynkest thou of lyke was he wont to do sittyng at home Agayne he that letteth not to reade albeit he dyd not vnderstande what dyd he then trowest thou after that when he had learned and gotten vnderstandyng For that thou mayest wel knowe that he vnderstoode not what he redde hearken what Philip there saith vnto hym Vnderstandest thou what thou readest And he nothyng ashamed to confesse his ignoraunce aunswered Howe shoulde I vnderstande hauyng no body to shewe me the way Lo when he lacked one to shewe hym the way and to expounde to hym the scriptures yet dyd he reade and therfore God the rather prouided for hym a guide of the way that taught hym to vnderstande it God perceaued his wyllyng and towarde mynde and therfore he sent hym a teacher by by Therfore let no man be negligent about his owne health and saluation Though thou haue not Philip alwayes when thou wouldest the holy ghost which then moued and stirred vp Philip wyll be redy and not fayle thee yf thou do thy diligence accordyngly All these thynges be written vnto vs for our edification and amendement which be borne towardes the latter ende of the worlde The readyng of the scriptures is a great and strong bulwarke or fortresse agaynst sinne the ignoraunce of the same is a greater ruine and destruction of them that wyll not knowe it That is the thyng that bryngeth in herisie that is it that causeth all corrupt and peruerse lyuyng that is it that bryngeth all thynges out of good order Hitherto all that I haue sayde I haue taken and gathered out of the foresayde sermon of this holy doctour saint Iohn Chrisostome Nowe yf I shoulde in lyke maner bryng foorth what the selfe same doctour speaketh in other places and what other doctours and writers say concernyng the same purpose I myght seeme to you to write another Byble rather then to make a preface to the Byble Wherfore in fewe wordes to comprehende the largenesse and vtilitie of the scripture howe it contayneth fruitfull instruction and erudition for euery man yf any thyng be necessary to be learned of the holy scripture we may learne it If falshood shal be reproued therof we may gather wherwithall If any thyng be to be corrected and amended yf there neede any exhortation or consolation of the scripture we may well learne In the scriptures be the fat pastures of the soule therin is no venimous meate no vnholsome thyng they be the very daintie and pure feedyng He that is ignoraunt shall fynde there what he shoulde learne He that is a peruerse sinner shall there fynde his dampnation to make hym to tremble for feare He that laboureth to serue God shall fynde there his glorie and the promissions of eternall lyfe exhortyng hym more diligently to labour Herein may princes learne howe to gouerne their subiectes Subiectes obedience loue and dreede to their princes Husbandes howe they shoulde behaue them vnto their wiues howe to educate their children and seruauntes And contrary the wiues children and seruauntes may knowe their duetie to their husbandes parentes and maisters Here may all maner of persons men women young olde learned vnlearned riche poore priestes lay men lordes ladyes officers tenauntes and meane men virgins wiues widdowes lawyars marchauntes artificers husbandmen and all maner of persons of what estate or condition soeuer they be may in this booke learne all thinges what they ought to beleue what they ought to do what they should not do aswell concernyng almightie God as also concernyng them selues and all other Briefly to the readyng of the scripture none can be enemie but that either be so sicke that they loue not to heare of any medicine or els that be so ignoraunt that they knowe not scripture to be the most healthfull medicine Therfore as touchyng this former part I wyll heare conclude and take it as a conclusion sufficiently determined appointed that it is conuenient and good the scriptures to be redde of al sortes and kyndes of people and in the vulgar tongue without further allegations or probations for the same which shall not neede since that this one place of Iohn Chrisostome is inough and sufficient to perswade all them that be not frowardly peruersly set in their owne wylfull opinion specially nowe that the kinges highnesse being supreme head next vnder Christe of this Churche of Englande hath approued with his royal assent the setting foorth hereof which only to all true obedient subiectes ought to be a sufficient reason for the alowaunce of the same without further delay reclamation or resistaūce although there were no preface nor other reason herein expressed Therfore nowe to come to
