Third attack: many needful things missing from Scripture — OT remedies for women and day-eight males
Rome's third attack: many things we must know are missing from Scripture.
Under the Old Testament women needed a cleansing from original sin as much as men — yet circumcision is only for males, and Scripture names no parallel rite for women.
Nor is it believable that males who died before the eighth day had no remedy, though circumcision could not yet be given — and Scripture is silent here too.
Latin
XVI. Tertium argumentum contra Scripturae sufficientiam Pontificii sumunt ex multis, quae, ut aiunt, ignorari non debent, & tamen Scriptura sacra non continentur. Ac primum, inquiunt, tempore Veteris Testamenti sine dubio non minus foeminae quam viri remedium aliquod habebant quo a peccato originali purgarentur. Et tamen pro masculis quidem circumcisio instituta erat, quid autem esset pro foeminis nusquam habet Scriptura. Deinde eodem tempore non est ullo modo credibile non fuisse ullum remedium pro masculis morientibus ante octavum diem, quo solo poterant circumcidi, & tamen nihil extat hac de re in Scriptura.
