Ante omnia hoc tenendum est, aliud esse consequentiae rationem deprehendere, aliud ipsum consequens; nam ut monuimus supra saepenumero deprehenditur consequentiae ratio, cum nec comprehendatur antecedens nec deprehendatur consequens, tantum intelligitur hoc ex illo sequi. I am hoc constituto dicimus non esse sidei proprium sed rationis etiam despicere consequentiae rationem, dicimus tamen fidei esse proprium consequens credere Nec inde tamen sequitur sidem (quia consequens creditur) niti ratione, quia ratio non hic argumentum sed instrumentum est, quemadmodum […] sides dicitur esse ex auditu, auditus non est argumentum fidei, sed est instrumentum.

Tis the latter not the former reason which will be convinced & satisfied with consequences and conclusions drawn from Scripture, in things which concern the glory of God, and matters spiritual or divine.
