Theological Theses · §635 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

‘This word is God’s’ rests on moral evidence that should remove doubt

The word as divine judgment is not the same as innate first-principle light.

Still founded on moral signs and arguments that make the matter evident.

Can/ought to clear all doubt in a well-affected mind.

Latin

XXXVII. Ac profecto judicium illud, quo mens nostra statuit verbum ac testimonium, quod proponitur ipsi ut credendorum argumentum, vere divinum esse, non nascitur quidem ex tali perceptione, qualis est illa qua intellectus noster admittit lucem innatam primorum principiorum, & veritatem propositionum quae necessario ex iis deducuntur: sed tamen fundatur in argumentis, notis & indiciis, quae moraliter saltem, evidens reddunt rem ita se habere, adeoque possunt, ac debent ex mente bene affecta tollere omnem dubitationem, & illam certam & securam reddere.
