"Was Christum treibet": "Und darin stimmen alle rechtschaffenen heiligen Bücher überein, dass sie allesamt Christum predigen und treiben, auch ist das der rechte Prüfstein, alle Bücher zu tadeln, wenn man sieht, ob sie Christum treiben oder nicht, sintemal alle Schrift Christum zeiget Röm 3. und Paulus nichts als Christum wissen will 1. Kor. 2. Was Christum nicht lehret, das ist nicht apostolisch, wenns gleich Petrus oder Paulus lehret. Wiederum, was Christum predigt, das ist apostolisch, wenns gleich Judas, Hannas, Pilatus und Herodes täte."
