The Church has power to decree rites or ceremonies and authority in controversies of faith; Yet it is not lawful for the Church to ordain anything contrary to God’s Word written, neither may it so expound one place of Scripture, that it is repugnant to another. Therefore, although the Church is a witness and a keeper of Holy Writ: yet, as it ought not to decree anything against the same, so besides the same ought it not to enforce anything to be believed for necessity of salvation.
