Catholic ASSERTIO: saving dogmas are plain and open; Hilary; against the idle and malicious

Our assertion — and it is Augustine's own, and indeed the catholic one — is this: the truth of the sentences of the faith, in dogmas supernaturally revealed and necessary to be known and believed unto salvation, stands plain and open.No one can ignore or deny those dogmas except the idle toward inquiry or the malicious toward contradiction.As Hilary says, God does not lead us to the blessed life through hard questions.
Latin
ASSERTIO nostra, etiam ipsius Augustini, imo catholica est, quod nimirum veritas sententiarum fidei in dogmatibus supernaturaliter revelatis et ad salutem scitu & creditu necessariis, plana atque aperta sit, adeo ut nemo nisi ignavus ad inquirendum, aut malitiosus ad contradicendum, ea vel ignorare, vel negare possit, eo quod, ut Hilarius loquitur, non per difficiles quaestiones ad vitam beatam nos ducat Deus.
