Strona 32 - Inprimis videbunt ne quid unquam doceant pro concione, quod a populo religiose teneri et credi velint, nisi quod consentaneum sit doctrinae Veteris aut Novi Testamenti, quodque ex ilia ipsa doctrina Catholici Patres et veteres Episcopi collegerint.
Strona 20 - But this statement, although sufficient to show that the German churches have nothing in their constitution to check changes of doctrine, is not all. These churches boast of it as their very highest privilege, and the very essence of a Protestant church that its opinions should constantly change.

Where then is earthly philosophy ? It is excluded ! There is no scope under...
Strona 127 - Jesus ; as, finally, the claim did not occur at any remote place, but at Capernaum, where Christ had friends, a miracle for about a dollar would certainly have been superfluous.
Strona xxvi - And now, what is the just consequence from all these things ? Not that reason is no judge of what is offered to us as being of divine revelation. For this would be to infer that we are unable to judge of anything because we are unable to judge of all things. Reason can, and it ought to judge, not only of the meaning, but also of the morality and the evidence of revelation, first.
