His first Section is entitled, Light and Spirit; the pretence whereof, he treats after his manner, and cashiers from giving any such advantage as is inquired after. But neither yet are we arrived to any concernment of Protestants. That which they plead as their advantage, is not the empty names of Light and Spirit; but, the truth of Christ revealed in the Scripture. I know there are not a few who have impertinently used these good words, and Scripture-expressions, which yet ought no more to be scoffed at by others, then abused by them. But that any have made the plea here pretended as to their settlement in Religion, I know not. The truth is, if they have, it is no other upon the matter, but what our Author calls them unto; to a naked Credo he would reduce them, and that differs only from what seems to be the mind of them that plead Light and Spirit, that he would have them resolve their faith irrationally into the Authority of the Church, ⟨p. 200⟩they pretend to do it into the Scripture.
