For what force hath that, they commonly alleage? This Article may bee suspected, as foysted into the Creed? By the same liberty discredit all the rest, set at naught all Antiquitie, and call every thing in question. But you vnderstand that litterally, which had its truth only in a figure of speech. So I am taught to doe by S. Augustine, and all Divines, that haue lighted their candles at his lampe, when no absurdity therevpon followes, & the liberty to the contrary, would giue way to greater inconveniences, in other verities. But there is no end (say they) why after our debt was paid on the Crosse, our Saviour should so descend. Suppose I conceaue not the end or reason, should not my faith relye on the waighty authority, that saith, it was so? Many things we must beleeue, which exceed our capacities, not that the thing is, but in what manner it is. |
