The Church hath power to decree Rites or Ceremonies, and authority
in controversies of faith: And yet it is not lawful for the Church
to ordain any thing that is contrary to God's Word written, neither
may it so expound one place of Scripture, that it be repugnant to
another. Wherefore, although the Church be a witness and a keeper
of holy Writ, yet, as it ought not to decree any thing against the
same, so besides the same ought it not to enforce any thing to be
believed for necessity of salvation.
