[263] The French is, “Jusques ici j’ay suivi l’ordre du Symbole qu’on appelle des Apostres, pource que la nous pouvons voir comme en un tableau, par les articles qui y sont contenus, en quoy gist nostre salut: et par ce moyen aussi entendons a quelles choses il nous faut arrester pour obtenir salut en Jesus Christ.”–Hitherto I have followed the order of what is called the Apostles’ Creed, because there we may see, as in a tablet, by the articles which are contained in it, wherein consists our salvation, and by this means also understand on that things we ought to dwell in order to obtain salvation in Jesus Christ.

Paul, l’appliquans a ce propos c’est que pource que Jesus Christ s’est humilié, le Pere l’a exalté et lui donné un nom souverain:”–The Sorbonnists pervert the passage of St Paul, and apply it in this way–that because Christ humbled himself, the Father exalted him, and gave him a sovereign name.

[276] In opposition to this ignorance, see Chrysostom in Joann. Homil. 16.
[277] See Augustin. Ep. 102, “Si propter eos solos Christus mortuus est, qui certa intelligentia possunt ista discernera, pæne frustra in ecclesia laboramus,”&c;–If Christ died for those only who are able to discern these things with true understanding, our labour in the Church is almost in vain.
[278] This definition is explained, sections 14, 15, 28, 29, 32, 33, 31 of this chapter.
[279] See Lombard, Lib. 3 Dist. 23. See the refutation in the middle of sections 41, 42, 43, where it is shown that faith produces, and is inseparable from, hope and love.
