The school Divines will easily grant that faith governeth the intent, and maketh it good. But we differ from them for three causes. First, because we §1affirm that faith dependeth only of the word of God: but they will have it to lean unto Fathers and Counsels,1 and that in no case may be granted unto them, forasmuch as faith must be constant, and utterly without error: which two things are not found in the Fathers and Counsels, because they speak things one contrary to an other. Fathers very often strive with Fathers, and Counsels are against Counsels: and those Fathers are rare, yea in a manner none, which have not sometime erred, and that in things most weighty, and very many Counsels have need of amendment. Doth not the scripture by express words testify that all men are liars?
The schoole Deuines wyll easelye graunt that fayth gouerneth the intent, and maketh it good. But we differ from them for three causes. Fyrst, bicause we §1affirme that faith dependeth onely of the woorde of God: but they wyll haue it to leane vnto Fathers and Counsels,1 and that in no case maye be graunted vnto them, forasmuche as fayth must bee constant, and vtterlye without errour: whych twoo thynges are not founde in the Fathers and Counsels, bicause they speake thinges one contrary to an other. Fathers very often stryue wyth Fathers, and Counsels are against Counsels: and those Fathers are rare, yea in a maner none, whych haue not sometyme erred, and that in thinges most waightye, and very many Counsels haue neede of amendement. Doth not the scripture by expresse woordes testify that all men are lyers?
