Excerpt from Manual of Romish Controversy: Being a Complete Refutation of the Creed of Pope Pius IV I. "I most stedfastly admit and embrace Apostolic and Ecclesiastical Traditions, and all other observances and constitutions of the same Church. II. "I also admit the Holy Scripture, according to that sense which our Holy Mother, the Church, has held and does hold, to which it belongs, to judge of the true sense and interpretation of the Scriptures; neither will I ever take and interpret them otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers." - First Two Article of Creed of Pope Pius IV. All admit the necessity of a rule or standard of faith, 25. The Romish Rule theoretically is Scripture and Tradition, 25. The Council of Trent pays equal respect to Scripture and Tradition.

The exhortation to "hold fast the form of sound words" only proves the necessity of adhering to apostolic teaching, 29. 8. All that is essential about the Apostles is written, 29. Tradition not the Rule. 1. Oral Tradition untrustworthy, 30. Scriptural case proving this from John xxi. 22, 23. 30. 2. The Fathers contradict each other, 30. 3. The Romish Rule inaccessible, 31. 4. Tradition is condemned by Christ, and by the apostles, 32. Rome cannot prove her Tradition divine, 32. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
