Answ. It did not, and that equivocal decree which was there made, was never approved by the Pope; and the Fathers themselves, (who were deluded by the Arians, with words that bore a double sense, when they perceiv••d the fraud) lamented, and renounced the fact.
Ob. The Council of Trent er••'d, by adding to the Canon of Scripture.
Answ. It did not: The third Council of Car∣thage approved all the same books by name, excepting Baruch, whom they comprized with the Prophet Hieremy, whose Secretary he was, and this 1200. years ago.
Ob. The Fathers err'd some in one thing, some in another.
Answ. A part, I grant, all together (speak∣ing of any one age) I deny, and they all sub∣mitted to the church; and so do likewise our Schoolmen, who differ only in opinion con∣cerning School-points undefined, not in faith.
Ob. S. Austin tells S. Hierome, that he esteems none but the writers of the Canonical books to have been infallible in all they write, and not to erre in any thing.
Answ. Neither do we, we esteeme not the writers of Councils infallible in all they write, nor yet the Councils themselves, but on∣ly in the oecumenical decrees, or definitions of Faith.
