Id. Epist. 50. In Sanctis Libris ubi manifestatur Dominus Christus, ibi & ejus Ecclesia declaratur (and therefore there it must be sought) Isti autem mirabili caecitate, cum ipsum Christum praeter Scripturas nesciant, ejus tamen▪ Ecclesiam non divinarum authoritate cognoscunt, sed humanarum calumniarum vanitate confingunt.
