Latin

XXXIV. Praeterea quoque asserimus, ea, quae ab Apostolis instituta fuerunt circa ritus divini cultus, & Ecclesiastici regiminis circumstantias, & de quibus tamen Scripturae sacrae silent, esse potestati Ecclesiae permissa, ut ea, pro temporum & locorum ratione, varie immutare posset, sub hac tantum regula & cautione generali, ut omnia fiant ordine & decenter in Ecclesia Dei.
