Question 2

«γε the Scriptures plain to Christians that vead them?

ANSWER.

That the Sacred Scriptures contain in many places great difficulties as to their literal sense and verbal interpretation is certain. But the dogmas of the Faith therein contained are plain and clear to those that are regenerated and enlightened by the Holy Spirit. Whence it is obvious that the reader may indeed often fall into some difficulty ; but when enlightened. by the grace of the All-holy Spirit, may by analogously comparing the verbal interpretation and the literal sense, derive from the same Scriptures both the solution, and therewith the right meaning; wherefore, the Scriptures are a lamp and a light enlightening the understandings of the Faithful, and driving away the darkness.
