Bradwardin was a man sound in the Doctrine of the Trinity, 1and the union of the two Natures in the Person of Christ, and in other Articles of our Faith: And thus he speaks concerning these Articles, ⟨image 17⟩Scio Philosophe, & confidenter me scire affirmo, quod non est Articulus aliquis magnus vel parvus, de substantia fidei Christianae, quam Deus non prius multis temporibus ante Fidei hujus exordium per Prophetas solennes, velut per quosdam praenuntios revelavit, &c. non enim est Articulus Fidei Christianae, qui etiam Philosopho judice non corrupto, non sophistico, non protervo: sed indifferente solido, sobrio, & veritatis amico, efficaciter possit fundari in veteri Testamento, in veteribus Prophetiis, sicut & constat antiquitus veraciter contigisse. What kind of Philosophers the Socinians are in Bradwardin's account, we may easily judge. Afterwards *he frames this Argument.

Whatever God hath revealed and attested, that is true.
But God hath revealed and attested the Christian Faith.
