CHAPTER TEN On the principle of sacred theology dependent on the first and ordered to it
So far we have explained the first principle of sacred theology.
There follows that which depends on the first and is ordered to it.
By directing some believable matter to Sacred Scripture as the first principle, it makes that matter credible.
By disposing the hearer through declaration or proof, it invites him to believe.
Latin
CAPUT DECIMUM. De principio S.S. Theologiae a primo dependente & ad illud ordinato. Hactenus explicavimus primum sacrae Theologiae principium: sequitur dependens a primo, et ad illud ordinatum; quod ad primum, sacram videlicet scripturam, dirigendo rem aliquam credibilem facit, & ad credendum per declarationem aut probationem disponendo invitat.
