Even Card. Richelieu pag. 38. confesseth [As for us, we assert no other Rule but Scripture, neither of another sort, nor total: yea we say that it is the whole Rule of our salvation, and that on a double account: both because it containeth immediately and formally the sum of our salvation; that is, all the Articles that are necessary to mans salvation, by necessity of means; and because it mediately containeth what ever we are bound to believe, as it sends us to the Church to be instructed by her, of whose infallibility it certainly confirmeth us.] Here the sum of our Religion is granted.

At the Council of Basil Ragusius's oration (Bin. p. 299) saith [That Faith and all things necessary to salvation, both matters of belief and practice, are founded in the ⟨p. 156⟩literal sense of Scripture, and only from that may argumentation be taken for the proving of those things that are matters of Faith and necessary to salvation, and not from those passages that are spoken by allegory, &c. And sup. 7. [The holy Scripture in the literal sense soundly and well understood, is the infallible and most sufficient rule of Faith.] See more of his oration opened in my Key pag. 93, 94, 95.
