Howe lightly your Captain General, Albertus Pigghius, weigheth the Authority of S. Augustine, it may appear by his words. For thus he writeth, Quòd non solùm incerta,1 sed etiam falsa sit Augustini Sententia, ita mihi demonstrari posse videtur: Thus me thinketh, I am able to prove, that S. Augustine's Judgement herein is not only uncertain, but also False. And again afterward in the Conclusion, Quòd Augustini Sententia non solùm incerta, sed etiàm certo' Falsa sit, satis mihi demonstratum videtur: That S. Augustine's Judgement is, not only uncertain, but also certainly False, 2me thinketh I have sufficiently proved. And againe, Non multùm me movet Augustini Sententia: Mihi non placet Augustini ea de re Definitio, & Sententia: S. Augustine's Judgement doth not greatly move me: I like not S. Augustine's Determination and Judgement, touching this matter. And again, Ego omnium, non solùm Aduersariorum, sed etiam Catholicorum receptas in Scholis redarguo Sententias: I do reprove the Judgements, 3not only of our Adversaries, but also of the Catholics allowed in the Schools. For these causes Ruardus Tapper of Louvain, and Liriensis ⟨p. 499⟩of Portugal have namely written against Pigghius.4 And for as much, as ye are desirous to have the point noted, wherein Pigghius so much misliketh S. Augustine's judgement, Petrus à Soto your own Doctor noteth it thus, Pigghius de hoc malè audit,5 quasi Peccata in nobis Originalia omnin ò inficietur: Pigghius is il reported of, as a man, that utterly denieth Original Sin. Thus your Doctors weigh S. Augustine's Authority, lighter, or heavier, as they list.
