ARTICLE VI. Through the slighting of Aristotle, Lu∣ther would not endure that Interest Humane and according to the Flesh, should have its share in Government of the Church; he is followed by cer∣tain zealous Ignorants: One ought to shun that their Excess.
'TIs neither permitted, nor expedient, said Martin Luther, to regulate Di∣vine things by Humane Interests, non esser nè lecito nè spediente regolar le cose di Dio con gli umani interessi.
He rejected not this conduct of Affairs. but only because it did plainly shew that Kings might be stirred up by the Motive of humane respects, as well as by that of God's Interests, to set themselves against that Heresie, che per rispetti così divini comè umani possono muovere i Rè & i Regni Christia∣ni à persegnitar l'eresia. Now Humane re∣spects be those we call Humane Reasons, which have for Object humane Felicity ac∣cording to the Flesh: Jesus Christ had in view this Felicity as well as Aristotle, and their Sentiments make up a judgment the most humane imaginable, and opposite to that Censure (forsooth) of those same zea∣lous ones, which is a Resolve Ideal and im∣possible in the Practice, contrary to Expe∣rience, and which doth not proceed but

This Censure or Opinon cries nothing but Reformation, Reformation; which is nothing but Idea and Extravagance,quella riformati¦one ideale per cui gravada il zelo imperito di persone per lo più non esperte; concetti strava∣ganti: Thus 'tis plain, that the Govern∣ment of the Church ought not to be re∣gulated by the judgment of those, who have not experience of the World: 'Tis pro∣perly this Experience that makes up that which is called Knowledge of the World, after the which also, Jesus Christ did form the Government of his Church.
