Touching the Perpetual Virginity of that Blessed Virgin, the Mother of Christ, which M. Harding saith, cannot be proved by any Scriptures, Gennadius writeth thus, 1Heluidij pravitatem arguens Hieronymus, Libellum Documentis Scripturarum Sufficienter factum aduersus cum edidu: S. Hierome reprieving the wilful lewdness of the Heretic Heluidius (denying the Perpetual Virginity of Christs Mother) set forth a Book against him, furnished with sufficient Testimonies of the Scriptures. Gennadius saith, the Perpetual Virginity of Our Lady is proved sufficiently by the Scriptures: M. Harding, only to maintain his quarrel, saith, It cannot be proved by any Scriptures: but standeth only by Tradition.
