In this conference, and Judgement of the Holy Scriptures we need oftentimes the discretion, and wisdom of Learned Fathers. Yet notwithstanding may we not give them herein greater credit, then is convenient, or then they them selves, if it were offered, would receive. We may reverently say of them, as Seneca in the like case sommetime saide,1 Non sunt Domini, sed Duces nostri: ⟨p. 59⟩They are our Leaders, but not our Lords. 2They are not the Truth of God it self, but only witnesses unto the Truth.
