And here again I must let them know, that Scripture only is the Rule and Test of our Faith and Religion. Their Polidor Virgil in this speaks truly of us, saying [They are called Evangelical, because they maintain that no Law is to be received in matters of Salvation, but what is delivered by Christ or his Apostles] (so sapless and putid is their scorn of the Evangelium quintum.) If therefore Luther, Calvin, or any man speak in any word amiss, blame the man that spoke it for that word; but blame not all, or any others for it, if you are men. Austin Retracted his own errors, and which of us dare Justify every word that hath fallen from our mouths or pen, before God? How many hundred points do Schoolmen and Commentators charge on one another as Erroneous, among yourselves? shall all the errors of the Fathers be charged on the Catholic Church, or all your writers errors upon yours?
