He never says Scripture alone or Tradition alone.Blessed Augustine relied on Scripture,Sacred Tradition and the Magesterium of the Catholic Church, Just like we Catholics do today.

Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium is meaningless unless backed by Scripture.

Whatever you hear from them [the Scriptures], let that be well received by you. Whatever is without them refuse, lest you wander in a cloud. (De Pastore, 11)

This Mediator [Jesus Christ], having spoken what He judged sufficient first by the prophets, then by His own lips, and afterwards by the apostles, has besides produced the Scripture which is called canonical, which has paramount authority, and to which we yield assent in all matters of which we ought not to be ignorant, and yet cannot know of ourselves. City of God, book XI, Chapter 3

It would be well for you to rely less on the cherrypicking Apologist Sites and more on the entire writings of Augustine concerning the primacy of Scripture.

"...relied on Scripture,Sacred Tradition and the Magesterium of the Catholic Church, Just like we Catholics do today."

Please reference Scripture which supports the Bodily Assumption Of Mary.

“It would be well for you to rely less on the cherrypicking”

Dear Brother,you’re cherry picking as well.
Most importantly, Blessed Saint Augustine’s writings are fully supportive of ALL the Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

Cherrypick all you want from his writings, In the end Saint Augustine is a strong and faithful Catholic.

“”Please reference Scripture which supports the Bodily Assumption Of Mary””

Certainly!

Our Blessed Mother is the women in Rev 12:1. Mary is the women who clothed with sun. Our Blessed Mother is seen in her physical presence in Revelation 12:1.

There is a mountain of Scriptural typology to support the Catholic teaching on Mary as the New Eve,the Ark of the New Covenant and the Daughter of Zion.

Here is some of it... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1908117/posts?page=172#172
