Theological Theses · §883

Rome disputes in vain as if Reformed put faith in notitia and exact science

Rome argues in vain as if Reformed located faith in notitia rather than assent, and as if every believer must have exact accurate distinct cognition able to explain and defend mysteries like a doctor or minister.

Latin

LXIII. Itaque frustra disputant Ecclesiae Romanae Doctores contra Reformatae Scholae Theologos, quasi fidem non tam in assensu, quam in notitia rei creditae constituant. Item quasi ad fidem singulorum requirant exactam, accuratam, & distinctam cognitionem mysteriorum fidei, per quam aliquis illa explicare, tueri ac defendere possit; ut tenetur facere Doctor aliquis, & Verbi Divini Minister.
