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.

9 For in the worship of God, this hath been, is, and shall be the only rule: Whatsoever is without faith is sin; and that faith dependeth not upon the inventions of men, but upon the hearing of Gods word; and that there can be no obedience, where there is no commandment.
9 For in the worshippe of God, this hath bene, is, and shall be the onely rule: Whatsoeuer is without faith is sin; and that faith dependeth not vpon the inuentions of men, but vpon the hearing of Gods worde; and that there can be no obedience, where there is no commandement.
10 And seeing the mind of the Lord, is only known unto himself, it belongeth not unto man to set down, what is acceptable, or what is odious in his sight, but unto God only; who hath therefore taught us, how he will be worshipped, and would not leave that point to our choice.
10 And seeing the minde of the Lord, is onely knowen vnto himselfe, it belongeth not vnto man to set downe, what is acceptable, or what is odious in his sight, but vnto God onely; who hath therefore taught vs, how hee will be worshipped, and would not leaue that point to our choise.
11 The word of God furthermore, is every way perfect, and thereunto nothing is to be added or detracted; for it is able to make the man of God absolute. Wherefore, we do constantly affirm, that we are bound only to cleave unto it, rightly understood; and that we must not depart one jot from the same. The understanding of it, is to be drawn ⟨p. 153⟩from the analogy of faith, and the conferences of other places of Scripture.
