The first Passage concer∣neth
a Testimony of S. EPIPHANIVS.
Alleged in the* 1.1 Pag. 120. of this second Edition.
[ 30] TO leave the Objectors verball Exceptions, because (now) satisfyed in the second Edition; and to try that which hee thinketh materiall.
His OB. Bellarmine cannot be guilty of that falsity which you im∣pute unto him, of adding to Epiphanius, and making him say: This is to be believed, although it be repugnant to our Senses: for these words [Although they be repugnant to our Senses] hee allegeth not as the words of Epiphanius, because hee hath them in a different Character.
ANSW. It will be sufficient to set downe the words of Bellar∣mine his owne, thus; ETIAM ADDIT, (Epiph.) ID ESS•• CRE∣DENDVM, LICET SENSVS REPVGNENT; that is, HEE (spea∣king [ 40] of Epiphanius) ALSO ADDETH, THAT IT IS TO BE BELIEVED, ALTHOVGH IT BE REPVGNANT TO OVR SEN∣SES. How then can it be denyed that Bellarmine delivered those words, REPVGNANT TO OVR SENSES, as the words of Epiphanius, hearing Bellarmine himselfe affirming that they were ADDED by Epiphanius? If I had denyed this, I would have given my Objector leave to say, I had beene out of my Senses.
