And most fully lib. 4. de Trinitate pag. 31. col. 2. Nemini autem dubium esse oportet, &c. that is, No man ought to doubt but that we must use Gods doctrine for the knowing of divine things. For humane weakness cannot of it self attain the knowledge of heavenly things. — It is God himself that we must believe concerning himself, and those things which he offereth to our knowledge, of himself, must we obey.
