And, that S. Paul by this Word, Traditions, meant not Ceremonies, or certain Secrete unknown Verities, but the very Substance of the Gospel of Christ, as it is said before: if M. Harding will not believe us, yet let him believe S. Paul him self.1 Thus he writeth, Tradidi vobis in primis, quod etiam accepi, quòd Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum Scripturas: Firste I have delivered to you, (or given to you by Tradition) the same thing, that I received: that is, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures. Here by S. Pauls Words, the Death of Christ is called a Tradition.
And, that S. Paule by this Woorde, Traditions, meante not Ceremonies, or certaine Secrete vnknowen Verities, but the very Substance of the Gospel of Christe, as it is saide before: if M. Hardinge wil not beleue vs, yet let him beléeue S. Paule him selfe.1 Thus he writeth, Tradidi vobis in primis, quod etiam accepi, quòd Christus mortuus est pro peccatis nostris secundum Scripturas: Firste I haue deliuered to you, (or geuen to you by Tradition) the same thinge, that I receiued: that is, that Christe died for our sinnes, accordinge to the Scriptures. Here by S. Paules Woordes, the Deathe of Christe is called a Tradition.
So saith S. Basile,1 Hoc palàm impugnat Salutaris Baptismatis Traditionem: Baptismus noster juxta ipsam Domini Traditionem est in Nomine Patris, & Filij, & Spiritus Sancti: Per ipsam Baptismi Traditionem habemus Confessionem Fidei: This thinge is plainly against the Tradition of Healthful Baptism: Our Baptism, according to the Tradition of our Lord, is in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: By the very Tradition of Baptism we have the Confession of Faith.
