Another on Augustine. This time from a choke choke non-Catholic source.
St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, who flourished from 387, the time of his conversion, till his death in 430. We select the following pertinent remarks of the bishop of Hippo : — " In those things which are clearly laid down in Scripture, all those things are found which pertain to faith and morals."} And again : " Whatsoever ye hear from thence ( the Scriptures) let that be well received by you : whatsoever is without them refuse, lest ye wander in a cloud."J And in another place : " All those things which in times past our ancestors have mentioned to be done toward mankind and have delivered unto us : all those things also which we see and deliver to our posterity, so far as they pertain to the seeking and maintaining true religion, the Holy Scripture hath not passed in silence.")] " Whatever our Saviour would have us read of his actions or sayings he commanded his apostles and disciples, as his hands, to write."§ And in another place, where he mentions that saying of Cyprian : " Hence," says he, " it is in vain for them to object custom, who are overcome by reason, as though custom were greater than truth ; or as though that were not to be followed in spiritual things which is revealed by the Holy Ghost." " This," saith Augustine,^ " is * " Ut h»c qua scripta sunt non ncgarnus ; ita ca quae non sunt Scripta renuimus. Natum Deum esse Virginia, credtrnus, quia legimus ; Mariam nupsisso post partum, non credimus, quia non legimus." — Hieron. Advers.
