- Martin Chemnitz argues councils deserve reverent submission only when they judge by Scripture's norm.
- Councils can err and must be rejected when they contradict Scripture.

- The Council of Trent declared the Vulgate the authentic Latin edition for readings and disputations.
- Chemnitz highlights that this elevates a flawed translation above original texts in theological disputes.

- Chemnitz argues that such claims require historical unanimity that Trent often lacks.
