Our claim: Scripture proves Christian doctrine distinctly, not only in seed

In this dispute we do not say Christian ordinances and dogmas of faith can be proved from Scripture only in a general and indirect way.

We say they can be proved distinctly, item by item — and in that sense can be said to stand expressly in Scripture, not merely by force and in seed.

Latin

XII. In hac autem disputatione sententia nostra non est omnia religionis Christianae instituta, & fidei dogmata confuse solum atque generatim ex Scriptura probari posse sed distincte & sigillatim, adeoque, hoc quidem sensu, dici posse in Scriptura expresse contineri non virtute tantum, atque in semine.
