391 Ecclesia sua autoritate nullum librum facit canonic.u.m, quippe canonica scripturae autoritas est a solo Deo, &c. Gerhard's _Loci Theologici_, tom. i. p. 4, ed. Cotta. Autoritas scripturae quoad nos nihil allud est, quam manifestatio et cognitio unicae illius divinae et summae autoritatis, quae scriptum est interna et insita. Ecclesia igitur non confert scripturae novam aliquam autoritatem quoad nos, sed testificatione sua ad agnitionem illius; veritatis nos deducit.

Concedimus, ecclesiam esse scripturae sacrae _testem, custodem, vindicem, praeconem, et interpretem_; sed negarnus, ex eo effici, quod autoritas scripturae sive simpliciter sive quoad nos ab ecclesia pendeat et quidem unice, pendeat.-_Ibid._, tomus secundus, p. 39, ed. Cotta.
