And if proof must be had off things (which is to great ⟨p. XLVI⟩shame for one that carieth the title off a divine to be ignorant off) let the answerer know / that learned divines speak aft this sort / Their words be thes. Off the father, of the ¹Son, and holy ghost, there is one nature one essence and three persons: In Christ our lord there be two natures and one person, and many other things which the catholic church doth receive, rather laid out by the interpretation ²off the Scriptures / then expressed in the words off the Scripture. Here the answerer may learn / that certain off the chief pillars off our Religion / by the Judgement off this council are not expressed in the word off God / and yet notwithstanding both contained in the word off God / and commanded to be believed.
