ONly one point of his judgement more * 1.1 I shall rehearse, concerning the Holy Scripture, Discus. p. 171. Afflatu Dei lo∣cutos quae locuti sunt, scripsisse quae scribere jussi sunt, Prophetas, toto animo agnoscit Grotius; Idem judicat de Apocalypsi & Apostolorum praedictionibus Christi dicta omnia quin Dei sint dicta dubitari nefas. De scriptis historicis, & moralibus Hebrae∣orum sententiis, aliud putat; satis est quod pio animo Scripta sint, & optima fide, & de rebus summis. Quos libros tales judi∣cavit
descriptionPage 71
Synagoga, ii sunt Canonici Haebraeis. Quos tales Ecclesia Christiana, ii sunt Canonici Christianis. Ne{que} Esdras ne{que} Lucas Prophetae fuere, sed viri graves, Prudentes, qui nec fallere vellent, nec falli se sinerent. Dix••tne Lucas [Factum est ad Lucam verbum Domini, & dixit ei Dominus] ut solent Prophetae? Nihil. tale. Quid ergo? [Quoniam quidem multi co∣nati sunt ordinare narrationem quae de no∣bis completae sunt rerum] Dicit se non prae∣cepto, sed aliorum exemplo, adductum ut scriberet.—Quomodo assecuto? ex ipsis testibus, non ex revelat••one.—Longe ergo aliter acti Prophetae; aliter Lucas, cujus tamen tam pium Consilium spiritui sancto potest ascribi. Haec ipsa veritas est, non blasphemia.—Pag. 172. Quae au∣tem sint literae eximie sacre sive d••v••nitus inspiratae, exposuerat Grotius ex Secunda Petri, nempe sermo Propheticus, sine Pro∣phetia Scr••pturae, id{que} scriptis libris consig∣nata.—And page 177. Speaking of the books of the New Testament, he saith [Quod ne in illis quidem scriptis ea sit cer∣titudo, quam à Traditionibus abesse queritur D. Rivetus.] I make no Comment on any of these words, or collection from them, but leave them to the Readers judgement.
