But they HAD and his argument is that Scripture, the writings ARE superior to the order of tradition.

Nobody's denying that. He's pointing out that, without Scripture, you'd have to depend on the teaching authority of the Church. It doesn't follow that you can dispense with the teaching authority of the Church because you have Scripture.

Actually you are saying that Tradition dictates what the Scripture says. That is putting the Traditions in a superior state.
