Beside the babblers: learned Roman doctors who hold their Church's mind more carefully
Besides those babblers and sophists who carry no weight even among their own, we must admit that the Pontifical school has many learned men. They speak more carefully and exactly, and they choose their arguments better. These hold the Roman Church's mind more accurately, explain it better, and defend it more cautiously.
So those earlier quarrelsome wranglers should indeed be checked and put down; our people rightly refute their folly and impiety and expose it in public. Still, when we seek and fix the real state of a controversy with the Roman Church, we should not cling to those men's trifles. We should ask what the later sort think and teach — the ones who stand strong among their own in learning and authority.
Latin
VI. Sed praeter istos blaterones, et sophistas nullius inter suos authoritatis, fatendum est, in schola Pontificia multos esse viros doctos, qui magis considerate et exacte loquuntur, majoremque delectum argumentorum habent. Hi certe sententiam Ecclesiae Romanae accuratius tenent, et melius explicant, cautiusque defendunt. Ideoque priores isti vitilitigatores coercendi sunt quidem, et reprimendi, eorumque stultitia, et impietas merito a nostris coarguitur, et publice vapulat. Veruntamen, quum status alicujus controversiae cum Ecclesia Romana quaerendus et constituendus est, non putamus istorum nugis esse inhaerendum: sed inquirendum quid sentiant et doceant posteriores, qui apud suos pollent doctrina et authoritate.
