Saint Paul, after he was called of God, and touched in his heart and conscience with Gods trueth, appealed not to a general Council, but saith, Non acquieni carni & sanguini, I communicated not with flesh and blood. The 1kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. There is no Council above God.
Saint Paul, after hee was called of God, and touched in his heart and couscience with Gods trueth, appealed not to a generall Councel, but saith, Non acquieni carni & sanguini, I communicated not with fleshe and blood. The 1kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. There is no Councel aboue God.
A Council may testify the trueth to be truth, but it cannot make falsehood to be truth. Augustine answered most indifferently, writing to Maximinus a Bishop of the Arians that alleged a ⟨image 50⟩general council holden at Ariminum. Nec ego Nicenum, nec tu debes Arimincuse tan quā praeiudicaturus 1proferre concilium, &c. Neither may I lay to thee the council of Nice, nor mayest thou lay to me the council of Ariminum, either of us thinking thereby to find prejudice against the other: But let us lay matter to matter, cause to cause and reason to reason, by the authority of the Scriptures, which are indifferent witnesses for both.
