Second rule, on the same two foundations: what Rome keeps that only God could lawfully institute, yet Scripture never shows God instituting, must have come from the Apostles.
Latin
XVII. Secunda regula nitens iisdem fundamentis haec est, Quod ea quae servat Ecclesia Romana quae sunt ejusmodi, ut nemo nisi Deus legitime potuerit illa instituere, nec tamen in Scripturis reperiuntur a Deo instituta, ab Apostolis tradita fuisse necesse sit.
