S. Hierome saithe, 1Moris est Scripturarum obscuris manifesta subnectere: It is y• order of the Scriptures▪ 2after hard things, to join other things that be plain. S. Augustine like wise saith, Solet circunstantia Scripturarum illuminare sententiam: The Circumstance of the Scripture is wont to give light, and to open the meaning. The like rule Tertullian also gevethe: 3Oportet secundum plu•a intelligi pauclora: The fewer places must be expounded by the moe. Therefore touching this word, Homousios, which M. Harding here moveth, and the whole contention of the Arians, Epiphanius writeth thus: Nomen Substantiae simpliciter, & nudè in veteri, & Nova Scriptura non proponitur: Sententia autem eius nominis ubique oc•urrié: This word, Substance, plainly, and nakedly is not found, neither in the Old, not in the New Testament. But the sense, and meaning of that word is found everywhere.
