Nevertheless concerning the Faith of the Parents,1 and others, the Holy Doctors have sometimes written otherwise. S. Augustine saith, Satis piè, recteque creditur, Prodesse paruulo eorum Fidem, à quibus Consecrandus offertur: It is good and Godly to believe, that the Child is holpen by the Faith of them, by whom he is offered, or brought unto Baptism. Again he saith, Accommodat illis Matter Ecclesia aliorum pedes, ut veniant: aliorum Cor, ut credant: Our Mother the Church lendeth them other mens feet, that they may come▪ and other mens ⟨p. 216⟩hearts,2 that they may believe. The like sayings might be alleged out of Justinus Martyr, S. Cyprian, S. Hierome, and others. For thus they write. Howe truly, I will not say. But their words be plain. The Prophets Habakkuk saithe, Justus ex Fide sua vivet: The Just man shall live, (not by the Faith of his Parents, but) by his own Faith.

The like saieings might be alleged out of Iustinus Martyr, S. Cyprian, S. Hierome, and others. For thus they write. Howe truely, I wil not saie. But theire woordes be plaine. The Prophets Abacuc saithe, Iustus ex Fide sua viuet: The Juste man shal liue, (not by the Faithe of his Parentes, but) by his ovvne Faithe.
