Yet we hold this tightly: the sum of what holy men, moved by the divine Spirit, taught and spoke — so far as suffices for salvation and faith — is contained in sacred Scripture.

Latin
XXXIII. Verum illud arcte tenemus, summam eorum, quae homines sancti, divino Spiritu acti, docuerunt & prolocuti sunt, quantum ad salutem & fidem sufficit, Scriptura sacra contineri; nec quicquam eos docuisse, quod sit ad religionem alicujus momenti, quod in sacris literis abunde traditum non sit.
