PART II. THE RULE OF FAITH. 6. OF THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE SCRIPTURES. 7. OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. 8. OF THE THREE CREEDS. ARTICLE VI. Of the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation. 1. Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an Article of the Faith, or be thought requisite1 necessary to salvation. In the name of Holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church. Of the Names and Number of the Canonical Books. De divinis Scripturis, quod sufficiant ad salutem. Scriptura sacra continet omnia, quæ ad salutem sunt necessaria, ita ut quicquid in ea nec legitur, neque inde probari potest, non sit a quoquam exigendum, ut tanquam Articulus fidei credatur, aut ad salutis necessitatem requiri putetur. Sacræ Scripturæ nomine, eos Canonicos libros Veteris et Novi Testamenti intelligimus, de quorum auctoritate, in Ecclesia nunquam dubitatum est. De nominibus et numero librorum sacræ Canonicæ Scriptura Veteris Testamenti. Genesis, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, The I.
