Rome's third text: 2 Thess 2 — hold traditions by word or by letter
Third Rome text: 2 Thess 2 — stand and hold the traditions, by word or by letter.
They hear two equal bins: written epistles and oral-only deposits.
Both, they say, must be held alike.
So unwritten apostolic tradition stands beside Scripture.
Latin
XV. Tertium argumentum pro traditionibus Pontificii sumunt ex illis Pauli verbis quae habentur cap. 2. posterioris ad Thessalonicenses, Itaque, fratres, state & tenete traditiones quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram. Nam, inquiunt, Paulus ibi traditiones quasdam opponit doctrinae scriptae, & duo proponit genera documentorum quae Thessalonicenses ab ipso acceperant, alia, scilicet, quae scripto consignaverat & epistolis suis inseruerat, alia vero quae viva tantum voce ipsis commendaverat. Et tamen utraque vult pariter teneri.
