Finally what other man shall we follow 1then Christ him self and his Apostles? and Christ did confute Satan abusing the Scriptures, by no other means but by the same Scriptures. The Apostles confirm their doctrine by the writings of the Prophets: And the Jews of Beraea are praised, that when they had heard the doctrine taught by Paul, they compared it with the writings of the Prophets, to try whether those things were so or no. Certainly the Councils of Nice did with none other weapon cut the throat of Arrius, nor that of Constantinople, Macedonius, nor the Ephesine Nestorius, ⟨image 33⟩nor the Chalcedonian Eutiches, nor Augustine, Pelagius, & Donatus: wherefore they that count the Scripture so doubtful and dark, that it standeth need to have light brought thereunto some other ways, are worthy of all good men to be spitted upon as blasphemers, and utterly to be abhorred.
