With this sword did Christ put of the Devil, when he was tempted of him: with these weapons ought all presumption, which ⟨p. 56⟩doth advance it self against God,1 to be overthrown and conquered. For all Scripture, saith S. Paul, that cometh by the Inspiration of God, is profitable to teach, to confute, to instruct, and to reprove, that the man of God may be perfect, and throughly framed to every good work. Thus did the Holy Fathers alway fight against the Heretics, with none other force, then with the Holy Scriptures.
