THE SOLE DIVINE RULE OF FAITH AND PRACTICE TO THE CHURCH,

AGAINST THE DANGEROUS ERRORS OF

THE AUTHORS OF THE TRACTS FOR THE TIMES,
AND THE ROMANISTS,

AS, PARTICULARLY, THAT THE RULE OF FAITH IS "MADE UP OF SCRIPTURE AND
TRADITION TOGETHER;" &c.

IN WHICH ALSO THE DOCTRINES OF

The Apostolical Succession, the Eucharistic Sacrifice, &c.

ARE FULLY DISCUSSED.

Hæretici quum ex Scripturis arguuntur, in accusationem convertuntur ipsarum Scrip-
turarum, quia varie sint dictæ, et quia non possit ex his inveniri veritas ab his qui ne-
sciant Traditionem. Non enim per litteras traditam illam, sed per vivam vocem.--IRENÆUS.
Φανερα εκπτωσις πιστεως και υπερηφανιας κατηγορία, η αθετειν τι των
γεγραμμένων, η επεισάγειν των μη γεγραμμενων.-BASIL.

Αυτάρκεις εισιν αἱ ἅγιαι και θεοπνευστοι γραφαι προς την της αληθειας
απαγγελίαν.—ATHANASIUS.

I see not how you differ from that opinion which is THE GROUND OF ALL PAPISTRY,
that is, that all things necessary unto salvation are not EXPRESSED in the Scriptures
There is nothing necessary to eternal life which is not both commanded and expressed
in the Scripture. I count it expressed when it is either in manifest words contained in
Scripture, or thereof gathered by necessary collection.-ARCHBISHOP WHITGIFT.

We of the Church of England affirm that the Scriptures contain a COMPLETE Rule of
FAITH AND PRACTICE, and we reject every doctrine and precept as essential to salvation,
or to be obeyed as divine, which is not supported by their authority.-BISHOP TOMLINE.
