Roman denial — tradition and unwritten word still needed beside Scripture

Yet they all deny that everything the Church needs for the doctrine of faith and morals is so contained in Scripture that it can be sufficiently sought and drawn from there alone.

They still require the help of tradition and of an unwritten word deposited in the Church's heart.

Latin

VIII. Sed negant omnes ea quae ad doctrinam fidei & morum in Ecclesia necessaria sunt in Scripturis ita contineri omnia, ut sufficienter inde peti & hauriri possint, sine ope traditionis, & verbi cujusdam non scripti, quod in Ecclesiae corde depositum est.
