12. The other Text is Acts 15. alleged by Bellarmine to prove the binding force of the decrees of Councils, and, by the Answerer,2 to show the authority of the Classis: whereunto Junius giveth 2 answers also. 1. Non sequitur ex particulari, si custodienda fuerint decreta Concilij Apostolici, ergo & omnium servari oportere. It doeth not follow, from a particular, that, because the decrees of an Apostolical Council are to be observed, therefore the decrees of all Councils must be so kept.3 And, whereas ⟨p. 255⟩Bellarmine affirmeth that the question there was not defined by Scripture, but by the voices of the Apostles, Junius denieth that any thing was ordained in that Council, but from the Scripture, as he had before demonstrated, & thereunto referreth the Reader. And, whereas Bellarmine saith that the decree of the Apostles was not left to the examination of the Disciples, but, that they were simply commanded to obey, Junius chargeth him with falsely supposing two things. 1. That the Apostles alone made this order. For the Elders concurred with the Apostles in this sentence, and the whole Church, all of them being taught by the spirit of truth, to think the same thing. And this, he saith, is the manner of proceeding in those Councils, where Christ is president. 2. That the same respect is to be had to the determination of others, as of the Apostles. Which is an error, he saith, For it was the singular privilege of the Apostles, that they had immediate assistance of the Holy Ghost, and infallibility, in their Apostolical determinations, so that, what they delivered was to be received without examination, whereas the dictates & sentences of all other are to be examined by their writings, whereby it appeareth that the Scripture acknowledgeth no such power of making laws to be due to the Classes, unless they can produce some other texts, which, when they shall be alleged, shall be further examined, if God permit.
