and indeed all things to God and nothing to men for who sees not that too much honour goodness c. can never be attributed to God These words of his comforted and strenthned me extreamly Much safer is it to give too much to God than men For then I may boldly say let the Church and St. Augustin with the rest of the Doctors let St. Peter the Apostle nay an Angel from Heaven teach otherways yet certain it is that my Doctrine of Justification by faith alone without our works is of that nature that it illustrates and extolls the grace and glory of God alone and condems in the matter of salvation whatsoever wisdom and righteousness of men Here I cannot be mistaken c. A second time he renews the Objection At ais Ecclesia est sancta Patres sunt sancti But you tell me the Church is holy the Fathers are holy and answers it thus Bene sed Ecclesia quamlibet sancta tamen cogetur orare Remitte nobis debita nostra Ergo neque mihi neque Ecclesiae neque Patribus abque Apostolis neque Angelo e Coelo credendum est si quid contraverbum Dei docemus Alioquin hoc argumentum Pseudo-apostolorum maxime valuisset contra Pauli Doctrinam Quia profecto magna magna inquam res fuit opponere totam Ecclesiam cum toto choro Apostolorum Galatis contra Paulum unicum eum recentiorem minimum authoritatis habentem nec enim libenter dicit Ecclesiam errare tamen necesse est dicere eam errare si extra vel contra verbum Dei aliquid docet Petrus Apostolorum summus vivebat docebat extra verbum Dei c. Well but tho the Church be never so holy yet she is fain to pray forgive us our trespasses Therefore there is no believing either me or the Church or the Fathers or Apostles or an Angel from Heaven if we teach any thing against God's word Otherways this argument of the false Apostles would have run down St. Paul's doctrine For believe me to the Galatians it was no small difficulty to oppose the whole Church with all the Apostles against St. Paul alone and him the latest and of least authority amongst ' em Neither was he willing to say the Church erred yet t is necessary to say she errs if she teaches any thing besides or against the word of God Peter the chief of the Apostles did live and teach otherways than he ought by the word of God therefore he erred Taught and erred false his Example not Doctrine was false Neither did Paul then connive at his error tho it appeared slight because he well saw the evil that might thence arise to the whole Church Therefore neither Church nor Fathers nor Apostles nor Angels are to be believed unless they teach the pure word of God Yet still the Objection will not be thus satisfied but returns on him again Hoc argumentum saith he hodie maxime praegravat causam nostram Nam si neque Papae neque Patribus neque Luthero c. cedendum est nisi doceant purum Dei Verbum cui tum credendum est Quis interim certas faciet Conscientias utri purum Dei verbum doceant nos an adversarii nostri Non ipsi jactant se purum Dei verbum habere docere Nos Papistis non credimus quia verbum Dei non docent neque docere possunt Econtra ipsi acerrime nos oderunt insectantur ut pestilentissimos Haereticos seductores Quid hic faciendum Num cuivis fanatio spiritui permittendum ut doceat quae velit This argument saith he even at this present time does much molest our party For if we must neither believe Pope nor Fathers nor Luther c. unless they teach the pure word of God who then shall we believe who will be able to assure our hearers whether I or rather my adversaries stick to the pure word of God for do not they also boast that they have and teach it We reject the Papists because they neither do nor can teach the pure word of God and they on the other side mortally hate and persecute us as pestilential Hereticks and seducers What can be done in this case Must every fanatical spirit be licens'd to teach what he pleases whereas the world can neither hear nor endure my doctrine any better than theirs For tho we openly profess with Paul that we preach the pure Gospel of Christ it avails us nothing and we are forced to hear that this profession of ours is not only proud temerarious and vain but blasphemous also and diabolical on the other side to submit our selves and yeild to the fury of our enemies is to make both Papists and Fanaticks grow proud and insolent these by bringing up and teaching what the world never heard before those by obtruding again and confirming their old abominations To this again he briefly replies Quisque igitur videat ut certissimus sit de sua vocatione doctrina ut cum Apostolo certissime ac securissime ausit dicere Etiamsi vos aut Angelus e Coelo c. Let every one therefore take great care to be most certain and secure of his vocation and doctrine alluding to what the Apostle saith Gal. 1.8 15. that with all security he may venture to say with the Apostle Tho an Angel from Heaven c. The fu●r me of which triple Reply is agreeable to our former observation Certissimus sum de mea vocatione doctrina I am most certain of my vocation and doctrine And Hoc certe scio quod humana non suadeo sed divina ' This I certainly know that the things I teach are not humane but divine and the applying to himself against the Fathers the answer of St. Paul against St. Peter and others Etiamsi vos aut Angelus de Coelo c. Tho an Angel from Heaven c. as if like this Apostle he also had some extraordinary calling to his Ministery or as if his opinions were like his faith that being assured of their truth makes them truth § 24. n. 3. Of those also that h● m●i●●●●●●d ag●●●st other Ref●rmed And this presumptive certainty and plerophory this man had not only of those tenents of his maintained against the Papists but in those also maintained against any other Reformed In his greater Confession answered by Zuinglius wherein he maintains Consubstantiation he saith Si incertus obscurus contextus sensus omnino habendus illum potius habere velim quem ex Dei ore progressum certe scio If it be necessary to have some context or sense that is obscure above all others let me have that which I am certain comes out of God's mouth The Landgrave of Hasse calling the assembly at Marpurg of the Saxon and Helvetian reformed Divines chiefly inviting Luther to it he returns this answer Nihil fructus ex Colloquio sperandum nisi pars adversa accedat animo cedendi
