Raymond continues (ch. 211): Creatures are founded in nothing except God alone immediately.So too the Bible is founded in nothing except God's authority alone immediately.The certainty of the holy Bible's truth arises infallibly from God's authority alone, because He speaks.
So Gregory of Valencia: Scripture's authority is utterly divine and therefore entirely infallible.Peter a Soto: We show sacred Scripture was written by the Holy Spirit; therefore it is not to be doubted that the Church is subject to it.The Holy Spirit reveals and gives sacred Scripture to the Church; therefore the Church cannot but be subject to it — witnessing and interpreting not as superior to Scripture, but as subject.
Latin
Et cap. 211.: Ipsae creaturae in nullo fundantur nisi in solo DEO immediate: ita ipsa Biblia in nullo fundantur nisi in sola DEI authoritate immediate… Sic Gregorius de Valentia: Authoritas scripturae divina prorsus ac proinde omnino infallibilis. Petrus a Soto: Scripturam sacram ostendimus a Spiritu sancto scriptam esse: non itaque dubitandum est, quin illi ecclesia sit subdita — quia Spiritus sanctus revelat & dat ecclesiae scripturam sacram, quare non potest non illi subdita esse.
