Neither do I therefore speak this, that I would malepartly contemn the authority of the fathers. But that we should understand, that forasmuch as they do often fall, we should not attribute so much credit unto their writings, but that we may examine them by the rule of the scriptures.

Peter Martyr Vermigli, Most learned and fruitful commentaries of D. Peter Martir Vermilius Florentine, professor of divinity in the school of Tigure, upon the Epistle of S. Paul to the Romanes wherein are diligently [and] most profitably entreated all such matters and chief common places of religion touched in the same Epistle. With a table of all the common places and expositions upon divers places of the scriptures, and also an index to find all the principal matters contained in the same, trans. Henry Billingsley (London: John Day, 1568), p. 17.
