Quando quaeris, num hoc illudne dogma sit Lutheranum, hoc cognoscere debes ex symbolis, tumque sunt norma hujus cognitionis. Ubi autem quaeris, num hoc illudne dogma verum an falsum sit, id certe non ex symbolis tanquam norma, sed ex Scriptura sacra cognoscendum est.
When you investigate whether this or that dogma might be Lutheran, this you must learn from the symbols, and then they are the norms of this knowledge. However when you investigate whether this or that dogma might be true or false, that certainly is not known from the symbols as a norm, but it is known from sacred Scripture.
