Hence the Papists gather that the Jews had unwritten traditions, and consequently all their traditions are to be observed. Ans. We deny not all unwritten traditions, of which some are true and profitable: but we renounce and deny all those traditions which are made articles of faith, & rules of Gods worship, necessary to salvation, (for all such doctrines are written in the books of the Prophets and Apostles, which contain perfect direction and rules concerning faith & manners) of which kind the Roman Church holdeth their traditions to be: this is of another kind, it being no article of faith, nor necessary to salvation to know whether Enoch writ this prophecy or no. Again, from the second answer, others who are no Papists, conclude, that some books of Canonical Scripture are perished and lost. But this is untrue; for then first the fidelity of the Church, which is the keeper of these Oracles, should be called in question: and secondly, in the books Canonical extant, not one sentence, or tittle, no not the sense of any sentence is lost: how then should whole books come to be lost?

It is alleged that the books of Solomon are most of them lost. Answ. The books of Solomon which were lost, were books of humanity and Philosophy: for he writ of all beasts, birds, trees, even from the Cedar in Libanus to the hyssop upon the wall: the books of humane truth might fail, but no part of Canonical Scripture.
