“[…] id enim fieri debet ob variam sensuum dispositionem, et sub hoc respectu verissimum est: de gustibus non est disputandum.”

[…] indeed, it ought to be possible, on account of the varied array of inclinations [that exist], and in this respect it is very true: there's no accounting for taste

And since the diversity of opinions among Protestants on determining the fundamental articles is so great, it certainly recalls that trite proverb: there's no accounting for taste, which was derived from unpleasant practical experience […]
