Neither doth S. Augustine only say thus, but also yieldeth a reason, why he saith it. These be his words: Auferantur de medio, quae aduersus nos inuicem, non ex Divinis Canonicis Libris, 1sed aliundé recitamus. Quaerer fortasse aliquis, Cur vis ista auferri de medio? Quia nolo humanis Documentis, sed Divinis Oraculis Ecclesiam Sanctam demonstrari: Have away all those Authorities, that either of us allegeth against the other, saving such only, as be taken out of the Heavenly Canonical Scriptures. But perhaps, some man will ask me. Wherefore would ye have all such other Authorities put away? I answer, Because I would have the Holy Church to he proved, not by the Doctrines of men, but by the Word of God.

So saith S. Augustine unto other the Donatistes: 1Auferantur de medio Chartae nostrae: procedat in medium Codex Dei. Audi Christum dicentem: audi Veritatem loquentem: Take a way from amongst us any our own Books: Let the Book of God come amongst us. Hear, what Christ saith: Hearken, what the Truth speaketh.
