Oh, no," said Luther, "but I conclude thus: God himself preacheth, threateneth, reproveth, affrighteth, comforteth, absolveth, administereth the sacraments, etc. As our Saviour Christ saith, 'Whoso heareth you, heareth me; and what ye loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, etc. Likewise, 'It is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father which speaketh in you."
CHESTER. But when Justice Chester heard him give her this counsel, and especially, as she supposed, because he spoke of a writ of error, he chafed and seemed to be very much offended, saying, My lord, he will preach and do what he lists. WOMAN. He preacheth nothing but the word of God, said she.
Of the Creed. The Creed teacheth to know God, and what a God we have. In all cases we must make use of faith. God giveth himself unto us with all creatures. We must always drive on the article of Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost bringeth Christ home unto us; he must reveal him. Where the Holy Ghost preacheth not, there is no Church. The works of the Holy Ghost are wrought continually.
When Raymond entered, then, he was addressed in much the same terms as the others. "Well, friend, what is your business? "John, admit no more, and let the carriage come round are you a convert also?" "Yes, I am; what have you to give me?" "A pure and peaceful religion, my friend." "Where is it?" "In this book this is the Word of God, that preacheth peace and salvation to all."
Your Father Peters preacheth the same Doctrine though not so zealously as some years since, yet cries out against New English Rigidities & Persecutions, their civil injuries & wrongs to himselfe, & their unchristian dealing with him in excommunicating his distracted wife. His wife lives from him, not wholy but much distracted.
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
There is nothing more beauteous, nothing more delightful, nothing more gamesome; and as I may say, nothing more fondly wanton: for she presenteth nothing to our eyes, and preacheth nothing to our eares, but sport and pastime. A sad and lowring looke plainly declareth that that is not her haunt.
No, not so: the preacher, when he is a right preacher, he preacheth not foolishness, but he preacheth the word of God; but it is taken for foolishness, the world esteemeth it for a trifle: but howsoever the world esteemeth it, St. Paul saith that God will save his through it.
He that telleth any man that the ministration of condemnation will save him, which is the law, he is a liar, and a deceiver: but he that exhorts people to lay hold on what the Man Christ Jesus hath done in his own person for sinners, and presseth souls to venture upon that for salvation, preacheth the truth.
Here an objection appeared to arise, which the ingenuity of the writer had anticipated. "It may be redargued," saith he, "by those who have more spleen than brain, that forasmuch as the Archbishop preacheth in English, he will not thereby much edify the Turkish folk, who do altogether hold in a vain gabble of their own." Cum multis aliis.
