Man's nature, so to speak, is a perpetual factory of idols.

All truth is God's truth.

Whoever the Lord has adopted ought to prepare themselves for hard, toilsome and unquiet living.

Without the fear of God, men do not even observe justice and charity among themselves.

As far as sacred Scripture is concerned, however much froward men try to gnaw at it, nevertheless it clearly is crammed with thoughts that could not be humanly conceived. Let each of the prophets be looked into: none will be found who does not far exceed human measure. Consequently, those for whom prophetic doctrine is tasteless ought to be thought of as lacking taste buds.

All the more vile is the stupidity of those persons who open heaven to all the impious and unbelieving without the grace of Him whom Scripture commonly teaches to be the only door whereby we enter into salvation.
