duo hominum genera esse, quibus persuadendum sit. Alios
enim praesertum in rebus ab osu vita communis remotis,
autoritate duci, acriorem anquisitionem in interiora
rerum aliis transscribentes. In hoc nihil vestustatis
testimoniis, gentium consensu. Alios proprio ingenio
philosophari: nolle ferre nisi quae clare distincte que
percipi possunt; multo minus vero ea, quae quanto ex-
plicantur magis, tanto implicantur magis: odisse
omnia illa vocabula, aut nihil significantia, aut
in explicata, quibus inania teguntur. His persua-
fum esse, veteres, maximam partem philosophiae
expertes, magnam partem etiam osores, rhetoricationibus
indulsisse, ut mysteria fidei redderent plebi admi-
rabiliora: inde paullatimlatini phrases in dogna trans
iisse; posteriores scholasticos, amissa dicendi ratione in

sola transsubstantiatione defensam, aut soli illi defen-
dendae comparatam. Talia Baronum Aobbeum, autore

philosophia, tanto ab ipsis assensu recepta;tum quod
accurata; tum quod Romanae Ecclesia inconcitia
bilis videretur. Nam qui credit, essentiam corporis
consistere un extensione, ercelet ne onquam corpecs
