enim prudentissima ejus Synodi de non inter∣pretanda Scriptura contra unanimem Con∣sensum Patrum, non obstat quo minus ad loca Scripturae, historica praesertim aut pro∣phetica adferatur nova expositio, sed veteri Traditioni dogmatum nihil repugnans] For which he refers us to Alcazar. So that still he is fast to the Tridentine Creed. But we may see what a jest the Patrons of it do make it. They are devoutly to swear according to that Bull [that they will ne∣ver interpret Scripture but according to the unanimous Consent of the Fathers.] But if there be no unanimous Consent of them at all, yea if they unanimously dissent, yet Grotius thinks this Oath is kept, so be it the exposition be not against their consent in matter of Doctrine: In expounding history and Prophesie we may safely venture up∣pon novelty, and let the Fathers keep their expositions to themselves. Verily I had the charity till I read this explication of the Trent Oath, to think that the very novelties and contradictions of the Fathers, found in some late expositors, had been a sufficient argument to prove them to be no Papists. But I see I was deceived.
