Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

Most grievous therefore is their error, who think that the lively and the saving knowledge of God, is to ⟨p. 149⟩be else where sought, then in the written word: and do therefore thrust unto us, their unwritten falsehoods: out of the which they will have necessary arguments to be drawn in the cause of faith and religion.
Most greeuous therefore is their errour, who thinke that the liuelie and the sauing knowledge of God, is to ⟨p. 149⟩be else where sought, then in the written word: and doe therefore thrust vnto vs, their vnwritten falshoods: out of the which they will haue necessarie arguments to bee drawne in the cause of faith and religion.
7 The natural and proper interpretation of this holy Scripture, is to be drawn from the analogy of faith, and the conference of places. For that which is darkly in one place, is in an other clearly taught, that which here is shortly, is elsewhere largely set down, and so the Word is the rule and the interpreter of it self.
