CAP. I.
SECT. II.
VVHATSOEVER is objected in this Section for the All-sufficiencie or perfect fulnesse of the Scripture, I will take for granted, because nothing is denyed by the Defendant. It is gran∣ted therefore at the first entrance, that the Scripture condemneth whatsoever is done, not onely against the vvarrant and direction of the Word, but also that vvhich is done beside it.
SECT. III.
BVT that which before the Defendant durst not denie, now he commeth to oppose in the proofes of it: Which is a strange course, in him especially that professeth a distinct lo∣gicall proceeding.
In the propounding of our confirmation, I note two things once here in the beginning for all following occasions to be mar∣ked, 1 this Defendant doth us wrong in distributing our confir∣mations into those vvhich are taken from Scriptures, and those that are from the Fathers, and those that are from Protestant Di∣vines: as if these were in our estimation of the same kinde. Wheras we professe that vvee ascribe no force unto any testimony of man, as if it vvere a proofe, but onely bring such allegations in as illustrations in regard of our adversaries perverse prejudice. 2 He vvrongeth us likewise in that difference vvhich he insinua∣teth betwixt the Fathers and our Divines, calling their testimo∣nies Iudgements, and the other onely Confessions: we acknowledge no such imparitie. If this vvere nothing but idle rhetorick in the Defendant, it may be passed by.
