Rivet and Daillé citations: dispute heat can force soft readings; they would not desert Ames/British sense
The opponent's Rivet and Daillé citations fail: from a few words he claims they gave own-grace fiducia the same certainty as faith in the fundamentals.
Even the most learned, caught in dispute heat, let slip things that need softening back to a sound sense.
Le Blanc doubts that, if warned, those doctors would have left the Ames/British sentence already laid out.
Latin
CXL. Frustra vero vir Doctus objicit testimonia virorum, qui sunt multum inter Reformatos celebres, Andreae Riveti, & Joannis Dallaéi; quos ex quibusdam eorum verbis probare conatur, eandem certitudinem tribuisse fiduciae, quam quis habet de gratia & salute propria, quae convenit eorum judicio fidei, quae adhibenda est ipsis fundamentalibus fidei articulis. Sed certe notum omnibus est, viris etiam doctissimis, dum disputationis aestu abripiuntur, incaute multa excidere, quae emollire & torquere quodammodo opus est, ut ad bonum sensum reducantur; nec dubito viros illos Doctos, si hac de re moniti fuissent, mentem suam fuisse declaraturos ea ratione, ut ab exposita jam sententia non discessissent.
