Latin
XXVIII. Sed quanto plura Deus revelavit, & magis distincte, tanto pleniorem & magis distinctam fidem ab hominibus exegit. Quum vero parcior atque obscurior erat revelatio, ad pauciora quoque fides extendebatur. Nam mensura fidei est divina revelatio: neque ad salutem opus est plura nosse & credere, quam sint ea quae Deus revelavit.
