THE REFORMED CHVRCHE IN THE WEST.

THe confession of the Swizers.b 1.1 S. Peter the Apostle saith, that the holy Scriptures are not of any pri∣uate interpretation: and therefore we approue not all interpretations, neyther receiue as a lawful exposition that which is called the opinion of the Church of Rome.

We do not contemne the exposition of the Fathers, which doe agree with the holy Scriptures: we reiect all humane Traditions, although neuer so well adorned with fine Titles, if being conferred with the holy Scrip∣ture they doe differ and varie.

Zanchius.c 1.2 We doe iudge that those Traditions must be retained and obserued in the Churches, which doe manifestly appeare to be of the Apostles obserued euer in all the Churches, although that there is no such commaundement in the Scripture.

It is not the part of a Christian man,* 1.3 and one that feareth God, to reiect that, which is proued to haue bin receiued by the consent of all Churches: to reiect that (I say) without iust and necessary cause: but if hee at∣tempt any such matter, it must be debated in a gene∣rall Councell.
