Fides (saith Bernard) suadenda est, non imponē da. Faith may not be compulsed by force or rigour, but gently brought in by persuasion: For forced faith is no faith. Saint Paul sayeth, Faith cometh by hearing, & hearing by 1the word of God. And therefore it is well observed by the wise & politic father S. Ambrose, ⟨image 92⟩that the church of Christ was not gathered by the law, but by faith. Basil saith, If you will have Gods wisdom take place, all your worldly wisdom must be set a part. And in like sort Hilary, Humanis operib. extructa non permanent: aliter aedificanda Ecclesia, aliter custodienda est &c. Things that be set up with mans workmanship (saith Hillary) will not endure: the church of God must otherwise be builded and preserved: for the foundation of it must be laid upon the Apostles and Prophets. The church being thus built by God, that is to say, by the doctrine of God, shall never fall.
