Rome rejects calling dead faith historical: it assents to all God's Word on God's testimony

Rome refuses the Protestant label historical for dead faith.

Dead faith does not traffic in histories alone: it assents to histories, dogmas, and promises in God's Word alike.

And it does not believe on human historian-authority, but on the testimony of God speaking and revealing in the Word.

Latin

XV. Porro fidem mortuam historicam dici nolunt, Primo quia non circa solas historias versatur, sed assentitur omnibus quae Verbo Dei continentur, sive sint historiae, sive dogmata, sive promissiones. Deinde quoniam ista non historice credit, hoc est, non propter humanam aliquam authoritatem, quomodo credimus iis quae narrant historici; sed propter testimonium Dei in Verbo loquentis, & revelantis ea quae credenda proponuntur.
