Bellarmine saith, de Verbo Dei, lib. 4. c. 11. In the Christian doctrine both of faith and manners, some things are simply necessary to salvation to all; as the knowledge of the Articles of the Apostles Creed, of the ten ⟨p. 207⟩Commandments, and of some Sacraments: The rest are not so necessary that a man cannot be saved without the explicit knowledge, belief, and profession of them— These things that are simply necessary, and are profitable to all, the Apostles preached to all — All things are written by the Apostles which are Necessary to all, and which they openly preached to all —
