The question is not whether the divine and apostolic traditions (i.e., all the doctrines taught by Christ or his apostles) are to be received (for all readily grant this). The question is whether there are any such traditions beside the Scriptures. Therefore until our adversaries prove conclusively that their unwritten (agraphous) traditions have indeed flowed from Christ and his apostles (which they never can do), we discard them as human.
