He

he

As

he

This
is
the
glory
,
the
ioy

and
assurance
of
a

man

that
Iesus

is
in

It
is
not
so
in

all
that
which
is

is

and
take
holde
of
the
Gospel
to
make
engines
to
fight
against
it
.
The
Arrians
would
not
agree
to
any
one
point
,
if
it
were
not
expresly
in
the
scripture
.
The
Mahometanes
pretend
the
gospel
to
make
for
them
,
and
alleage
the
same
for
their
soueraigne
aucthoritie
.
The
deuil
him self
hath
cyted
the
scripture
against
our
sauiour
,
and
thereof
it
is
that
he
prepareth
snares
and
cordes
to
strangle
such
as
harken
to
him
,
making
that
which
should
bring
them
life
,
to
be
deadly
vnto
them
,
and
conuerting
bread
in
to
poyson
.
It
is
certain
that
the
scripture
is
giuen
vs
of
God
for
our
saluation
:
&
this
principle
can
not
be
shaken
.
When
the
holy
scripture
speaketh
,
it
is
the
maiesty
of
God
which
doth
shew
his
truth
and
his
wil
vnto
men
,
vnto
the
which
euery
man
must
beare
inuiolable
reuerence
,
and
yeld
vnto
it
as
to
the
assured
and
infallible
verditt
of
God
his
truth
,
submitting
all
his
vnderstanding
to
the
yoke
and
obedience
of
faith
:
in
suche
sorte
,
that
it
is
treason
to
God
his
maiesty
and
damnable
sacrilege
for
the
boldnes
of
humaine
vnderstanding
to
gaynsay
the
same
,
yea
or
only
to
be
so
bolde
as
to
thinke
it
:
for
if
any
one
gainsay
the
same
,
he
cutteth
him self
from
God
,
and
maketh
him self
a
companion
of
the
deuil
:
he
is
an
heretike
,
accursed
and
reprobate
,
&
neuer
shall
haue
parte
with
God
.
For
the
holy
scripture
is
the
key
which
doth
open
vs
Paradise
:
it
is
the
way
which
doth
guyde
vs
,
the
rule
which
doth
teache
vs
,
the
lampe
which
doth
ligten
vs
in
the
middest
oft
he
darknes
of
this
world
:
it
is
the
looking
glasse
where
in
we
behold
the
face
of
God
,
the
royall
sceptre
by
the
which
he
doth
Gouerne
his
people
,
the
witnes
of
his
good
wil
towards
vs
,
and
the
instrument
of
his
aliance
:
to
the
which
who
so
doth
not
bowe
downe
his
vnderstanding
,
he
doth
oppose
him self
against
God
,
with
an
ingratitude
&
deuelish
presumption
.
Now
al
the
heretikes
of
the
world
haue
made
shew
to
agree
to
this
principle
,
&
haue
whyted
their
ruinouse
walles
with
no
other
colours
than
those
,
nor
haue
no
other
thing
in
their
mouthes
but
the
texts
of
the
scriptures
.
What
shal
the
simple
man
then
doe
,
hearing
the
word
of
the
maiesty
of
God
in
the
mouth
of
Catholikes
and
of
heretikes
?
This
is
it
whereof
I
wold
informe
such
as
haue
care
of
their
saluation
,
and
teach
them
how
they
shal
neuer
be
deceyued
.
S.
Gregor
Nazianzene
sayth
that
the
mighty
power
of
God
to
saluation
,
to
al
those
that
beleue
:
that
is
to
say
,
a
vertu
supernatural
,
diuinely
infused
,
ennobling
mans
nature
aboue
it self
,
and
eleuating
it
to
a
diuine
estate
,
the
which
of
his
owne
force
and
faculty
he
could
neuer
attayne
vnto
,
no
not
only
conceiue
the
same
:
They
runne
sayth
he
,
and
I
sent
them
not
,
they
say
the
lorde
hath
sayd
it
,
and
I
sayd
no
such
worde
.
Our
sauiour
him selfe
by
his
Take
heede
of
false
Prophets
which
come
to
you
in
sheeps
clothing
,
but
within
they
are
rauening
wolues
.
Now
if
in
the
traficke
of
this
world
,
we
feare
to
medle
with
a
false
marchant
,
how
much
more
owght
we
to
feare
in
the
traficke
of
euerlasting
saluation
.
If
then
we
wil
not
be
deceaued
,
Sainct
Paule
therein
doth
geue
vs
a
true
meane
,
when
he
sayth
:
How
shal
they
beleue
in
him
whom
they
haue
not
hearde
?
And
how
shal
they
heare
without
preaching
?
And
how
shal
they
preach
yf
they
be
not
sent
?
There
neede
not
so
much
disputing
,
nor
so
much
making
of
bookes
,
to
confound
the
heretikes
.
Men
do
in
a
maner
defile
them selues
when
they
examine
their
doctrine
:
there
is
no
doute
but
that
God
is
greatly
offended
with
the
ouermuch
regarde
that
is
geuen
vnto
them
,
and
those
which
wolde
that
men
shulde
heare
them
reason
,
haue
not
the
spirit
of
the
feare
of
God
.
An
heretike
,
before
all
other
thinges
should
be
asked
not
what
he
sayth
,
but
of
whom
he
is
sent
,
and
the
marke
of
his
sending
.
And
so
without
any
more
disputing
he
shal
be
confounded
and
put
to
silence
.
For
neuer
heretike
was
sent
of
God
,
they
are
al
of
the
spirit
of
the
deuil
,
and
al
condemned
of
God
,
what
allegation
so
euer
they
make
of
the
holie
scriptures
.
The
Samaritanes
were
heretiques
,
and
did
fortifie
them selues
with
the
texte
of
the
law
of
Moyses
.
Our
sauiour
hath
condemned
them
with
his
owne
mouth
,
when
being
asked
of
the
Samaritane
whether
God
should
be
worshipped
in
Hierusalem
or
in
Samaria
,
he
answered
:
you
worshippe
that
you
know
not
,
wee
worshipp
that
we
knowe
:
the
saluation
is
of
the
Jewes
.
For
it
is
as
yf
he
had
sayd
yow
Samaritanes
which
be
distracted
from
the
Iewes
,
you
shal
haue
nothing
in
the
treasure
of
saluation
,
and
you
can
not
but
erre
.
This
only
voice
thundering
from
heauen
,
you
worshipp
that
you
know
not
,
is
a
sufficient
flash
of
lightening
to
ouerthrow
all
that
these
deuided
felowes
from
the
Curch
can
imagine
to
haue
,
eyther
holie
or
godlie
.
Let
no
man
be
ouertaken
by
the
deuil
through
ignorance
of
this
doctrine
.
S.
Augustin
teacheth
vs
clearly
:
that
although
heretikes
that
they
keepe
not
the
heade
,
whereof
the
whole
body
(
which
is
the
Church
)
by
ioyntes
&
bandes
being
compacted
,
groweth
to
the
increase
of
God
.
And
according
to
this

Optatus
properly
sayth
that
the

of
heretykes
is
but
only
a
wal
which
hath
no
corner

nor
couerture

,
in
such
sorte
that
if
they
make

,
he
that

,
is
alwayes
without
,
subiect
to
wyndes
,
rayne
,
tempest
,
theeues
,
and
to
wylde
beasts
.
But
the
Catholike
Church
is
an
entier
howse
in
the
which
God
doth
dwel
,
and
he
dwelleth
not
in
any
other
.
Al
that
which
is
inclosed
therein
,
is
couerd
,
wel
assured
,
&
out
of

:
of
the
incommodytyes
of
the
ayre
,
of
theeues
,
and
of
all
external
harme
.
Furthermore
he
compareth
heresie
to
artificial
trees
,
which
fowlers
fashion
in
likenes
of
a
natural
tree
,
hauing
the
shew
of
a
true
tree
,
but
full
of
snares
and
of
glew
,
where
the
brides
searching
their

their

wheras
the
Church
is
a
true
tree
in

,
full
of
good
fruits
,
without
snares
and
fraude
.
But

This
is
certeinly
the
point
whereby
all
heretikes
in
the
world
haue
perished
,
doe
perishe
now
,
and
shall
alwayes
perishe
:
for
that
they
like
not
,
not
sauour
not
the
Sacrament
of
the
vnitie
of
faith
in
the
vniuersal
brotherhood
of
the
Church
,
nor
acknowledge
that
there
is
one
certain
Church
,
the
only
mother
of
al
the
children
of
God
,
which
is
only
holie
,
Catholike
,
and
Apostolike
:
vnto
whom
Iesus
Christ
her
spouse
&
head
hath
giuen
the
character
of
the
order
of
his
eternall
Priesthood
,
the
keyes
of
the
realme
of
heauen
,
&
all
aucthoritie
ouer
his
howshould
:
vnto
whom
he
hath
promised
assistance
of
his
holie
spirit
vntil
the
end
of
the
worlde
:
in
whom
is
the
wil
of
God
,
the
forgiuenes
of
sinnes
,
and
the
distribution
of
graces
:
who
only
hath
the
woord
of
God
in
keeping
,
the
pure
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
the
true
vse
of
Sacraments
:
to
whom
only
therefore
doth
appertain
to
iudge
of
the
true
sense
of
the
holy
scriptures
,
and
to
decyde
the
controuersies
of
faith
that
rise
among
men
:
whose
iudgements
in
earth
be
ratified
in
heauen
:
which
Church
,
being
but
one
and
vndiuided
in
faith
,
yet
extending
it self
in
her
communion
as
the
beames
of
the
sunne
,
as
long
and
as
wyde
as
the
whole
world
,
encreasinge
&
multiplyinge
dayly
without
end
or
lymit
,
continueth
inseparably
vnited
to
her
head
,
as
the
beames
to

body
of

not
liuinge
but
of
his
grace
,
not
breathing
but
of
his
spirit
,
and
not
seing
but
of
his
light
:
and
who
so
euer
kepeth
not
this
vnitie
,
he
kepeth
not
the
law
of
God
,
he
hath
no
faith
,
and
he
can
neyther
haue
the
life
nor
the
saluation
of
Iesus
Christ
.
It
is
S.
Paul
him
the
traditions
which
you
haue
learned
of
me
,
be
it
by
woord
or
by
our
epistle
:
and
it
is
written
in
the
Actes
of
the
Apostles
that
in
al
places
whear
S.
Paule
passed
by
,
he
recommended
to
the
Churches
,
to
kepe
the
ordinances
of
the
Apostles
and
of
the
elders
,
which
were
things
not
written
.
When
the
Apostles
had
planted
the
Gospel
,
they
did
not
say
al
things
at
one
time
,
nor
in
one
howre
:
nor
wrote
al
that
they
sayed
:
but
according
as
occasion
was
giuen
,
they
planted
their
doctrine
:
so
that
the
holy
scripture
which
we
haue
of
the
Apostles
and
of
the
Euangelists
,
is
not
so
muche
a
full
doctrine
of
faith
,
as
a
witnes
of
the
faith
that
they
preached
.
Now
if
wee
will
goe
higher
:
the
law
of
Moyses
consisted
no
lesse
in
tradition
than
in
writting
:
and
not
only
the
sense
but
the
letter
and
text
thereof
was
to
be
learned
by
tradition
.
For
they
had
the
scriptures
in
maner
but
by
half
:
the
pointing
beeing
not
yet
put
to
the
hebrew
text
.
But
the
holy
Ghost
alwayes
hath
in
formed
the
Church
of
the
true
traditions
and
the
true
sense
of
the
scripture
,
in
such
sorte
as
the
Church
and
the
holy
scripture
are
so
linked
together
,
that
they
both
be
as
an
indissoluble
cheyne
of
golde
.
The
Church
is
not
aboue
the
scripture
,
but
the
authoritie
of
the
Church
doth
shew
the
true
scripture
.
And
when
the
Church
hath
need
of
wholsome
information
,
she
doth
goe
to
the
scriprure
:
and
if
there
be
any
darknes
in
the
scripture
,
the
holy
Ghoste
is
giuen
to
the
Church
for
to
interpret
the
same
.
Euen
so
in
the
olde
law
in
al
difficulties
,
that
rose
,
the
law
of
Moyses
ordained
that
they
should
goe
to
the
hygh
priest
for
the
tyme
being
,
and
that
they
the
piller
and
ground
of
trueth

(
sayeth

thy
trueth
is
not
myne

nor
this

or

but
it
is
euerie
mans
,
whom
thou
publikly

terribly
that
we
take
greate
heed
to
chalenge
that
in
priuate

lest
so
we
be
vtterlie
depriued
of
it
.
For
he
which
speaketh
of
his
owne
telleth
a
lye
.
And
as
many
particular
opinions
as
are
in
the
world
,
so
many
banners
are
there
displayed
by
the
deuil

A
true
catholique
doth
estrange
him self
as
much
as
he
can
from
all
particular
opinions
,
and
from
al
attributing
to
him self
,
his
being
,
his
liuing
,
his
power
and
knowledge
,
and
neuer
doth
vse
these
termes
:
I
am
:
I
can

I
wil

as
for
me
,
this
is
my
opinion
,
and
such
like
speches
,
which
be
termes
of
deuelish
arrogancie
.
He
dares
not
so
much
as
to
say
of
him self
that
he
is
a
part
of
Christendom
,
standing
as
it

this

a
principle
that
he
can
not
so
much
as
thinke
any
thing
,
that
good
is
without
the
continual
dependence
of
God
,
and
instruction
of
the
Church
:
vnto
whom
in
all
simplicitie
,
and
in
deep
humlitie
,
he
leaueth
him self
to
be
edified
and
instructed
,
euen
as
a
litle
childe
of
his
mother
:
so
that
it
is
in
a
maner
easier
to
plucke
a
sterre
out
of
the
element
,
than
to
plucke
a
true
catholique
out
of
the
bosome
of
the
Churche
.
Litle
Iacob
when
Rebecca
his
mother
commanded
him
to
faigne
him self
to
his
father
that
he
was
Esau
,
to
get
thereby
his
blessing
,
he
answered
like
a
childe
,
that
he
feared
lest
the
deceit
being
discoueced
,
he
should
procure
hym
self
malediction
in
stead
of
benediction
:
but
then
his
mother
sayd
to
him
,
that
malediction
which
he
did
,
and
was
blest
:
euen
so
it
is
in
our
obedience
to
the
Church
.
If
the
Church
should
deceiue
vs
,
then
vpon
her
be
the
malediction
,
to
vs
doth
apperteyn
the
glory
of
obedience
,
with
the
which
we
be
very
wel
assured
to
obteyn
the
euerlasting
benediction
.
But
now
the
Church
can
not
deceiue
vs
,
yea
I
say
further
,
that
the
iniquite
of
him
that
is
in
the
Church
,
is
better
,
that
is
to
say
,
is
lesse
damnable
then
the
good
works
of
him
which
is
in
heresie
.
For
if
one
of
the
howshold
of
the
Church
haue
sinned
,
he
hath
but
committed
that
sinne
wherein
he
is
fallen
:
the
which
is
blotted
out
by
pennance
in
the
Churche
,
and
he
may
obtein
the
promisses
of
the
kyngdome
of
heauen
:
but
he
which
is
fallen
out
of
the
Church
,
sinneth
alwayes
,
&
in
al
that
he
doth
:
for
al
that
which
is
not
of
faith
,
is
sinne
,
as
S.
Paul
saith
.
Yea
although
he
do
pennance
yet
can
he
obtein
no
pardon
,
because
in
the
societie
where
he
is
,
there
is
no
remission
of
sinnes
:
there
is
no
good
worke
meritorius
,
no
pennance
,
no
vertue
to
be
rewarded
withe
life
euerlasting
where
faithe
is
not
:
and
that
persone
dothe
not
fruitfully
fulfil
any
comaundement
of
God
which
doth
not
fulfil
the
same
in
the
Church
.
The
pretended
good
works
of
those
which
be
out
of
the
Church
,
be
like
a
swyft
running
out
of
the
way
,
and
lyke
great
paynes
taken
for
a
matter
of
nothing
,
where
no
reward
is
to
be
gotten
.
He
which
runneth
out
of
the
listes
,
shal
neuer
carie
away
the
price
:
he
must
be
first
with
in
the
barriers
of
the
Church
,
seing
that
the
course
of
good
woorkes
shal
be
crowned
according
to
the
merits
of
the
rightuousnes
of
eache
one
:
I
meane
according
as
euery
one
shal
shew
hymself
valiant
and
couragious
in
christian
spirit
,
and
according
as
the
new
regenerat
man
in
him
hathe
brought
foorth
due
fruits
,
and
effects
of
his
regeneration
.
There
is
no
good
without
the
soueraign
good
.
The
soueraign
good
,
is
God
.
God
,
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
Churche
,
are
three
things
coherent
and
fast
vnited
together
.
There
is
no
accesse
to
God
,
but
by
Iesus
Christ
:
and
there
is
no
accesse
to
Iesus
Christ
,
but
by
the
Churche
:
let
no
man
(
sayeth
S.
Ambrose
)
accept
good
woorks
,
done
before
faith
.
Faith
is
the
soule
of
good
woorkes
,
without
the
which
they
be
dead
,
and
be
not
to
be
rewarded
with
lyfe
euerlasting
:
faith
is
the
soule
of
our
soule
,
the
substance
of
man
,
in
such
sorte
as
man
without
faith
is
without
substance
.
True
it
is
that
an
heretyke
renouncing
his
heresie
is
straight
wayes
cleane
,
and
incorporated
againe
to
the
Church
,
and
as
a
member
,
partaker
of
the
prayers
of
all
the
vniuersal
Church
,
he
is
made
woorthy
of
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
after
he
hath
purelie
and
entierlie
renounced
his
heresie
:
in
which
case
a
Ioh.
Clim
.
grad.
15.
fornicator
repenting
hath
need
of
teares
&
of
tyme
to
be
throughly
clensed
,
and
to
extinguish
vtterly
the
concupiscence
which
hath
occupied
the
soule
,
and
defiled
the
body
,
the
reliques
of
the
one
being
harder
to
be
healed
,
then
of
the
other
:
but
if
the
one
and
the
other
die
in
their
sinne
,
the
heretike
shal
carie
a
more
rigorous
iudgement
than
the
fornicator
.
This
point
then
is
without
contradiction
that
in
all
the
vniuersal
world
,
there
is
but
one
only
Church
,
which
doth
administer
eternal
lyfe
:
which
hath
the
keyes
of
the
kyngdome
of
heauen
:
in
which
good
deeds
be
rewarded
with
lyfe
euerlasting
:
which
drawing
out
of
the
holy
Scriptures
the
right
line
of
interpretation
both
prophetical
and
Apostolical
according
to
the
sense
that
hath
bene
preached
and
taught
,
geueth
her
children
assured
certentie
of
the
good
pasture
,
&
knowledge
of
the
euil
:
whom
who
so
obeyeth
not
,
shal
neuer
see
God
.
For
this
cause
S.
Paul
according
to
the
care
which
he
had
more
then
fatherly
of
the
saluation
of
men
,
doth
exhorte
very
earnestly
to
be
carefull
,
to
kepe
the
vnitie
of
spirit
:
which
is
to
hold
them selues
,
ioint
,
firme
,
and
locked
in
the
bosome
of
the
Churche
:
knowing
that
euerie
where
out
of
the
same
dwelleth
death
,
and
that
euerie
particular
assemblie
out
of
the
same
is
the
Synagog
of
Sathan
.
All
diuinitie
out
of
the
Church
is
vaine
,
false
,
basterdly
,
confuse
,
ful
of
deceit
&
impietie
.
When
the
heretike
alleageth
woordes
of
the
Gospel
that
is
now
no
more
(
saieth
S.
Hierom
)
the
Gospel
of
God
.
The
Gospel
in
their
mouth
becometh
the
woord
of
man
,
and
the
woord
of
the
deuil
:
the
trueth
is
poysoned
by
their
leauen
,
in
suche
sorte
that
it
is
altogether
vnlike
to
it selfe
:
wherin
they
fare
as
the
false
and
leud
counseilors
of
a
prince
or
state
,
whoe
in
giuing
counceil
redounding
to
ther
owne
particular
profit
,
and
not
of
the
Prince
or
common
welth
,
doo
betray
the
Prince
and
the
comon
welthe
:
euen
so
,
the
heretiks
be
traitors
to
God
and
to
the
holy
scriptures
.
And
let
no
man
be
deceiued
if
somtimes
they
seeme
to
teach
the
same
doctrine
that
the
catholikes
do
:
betwene
the
true
and
the
false
there
is
but
a
hears
difference
.
But
now
suppose
they
preached
in
all
&
throughout
,
the
self
same
doctrine
of
faith
and
Sacraments
,
as
the
catholiques
doe
:
that
they
be
also
otherwise
irreprehensible
of
their
life
in
external
honestie
:
yea
finallie
though
they
spend
their
bloud
for
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
:
all
this
notwithstanding
,
sith
The
vse
of
the
Sacraments
,
the
woorks
of
mercie
,
and
the
gloriouse
confession
of
the
name
of
Iesus
Christe
can
not
profit
but
vnto
him
which
is
in
the
vnitie
of
the
catholique
Church
.
Which
vnitie
who
holdeth
not
,
he
diuideth
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
is
one
and
indiuisible
:
and
his
Church
hath
not
two
bodyes
.
Iesus
Christ
is
not
diuided
(
sayth
S.
Paul
)
and
that
point
is
of
so
great
importance
as
the
creed
of
the
faith
,
which
is
dayly
songe
in
the
Church
doth
expressely
shew
that
there
is
but
one
Church
to
the
end
that
all
men
might
know
that
out
of
the
same
there
is
no
saluation
.
Such
as
come
near
the
brinke
of
a
deep
pit
,
or
of
any
downeright
pitche
,
conceiuing
the
horrour
of
temporal
death
,
all
trembling
they
retier
far
of
,
for
fear
to
fall
therin
:
but
there
is
not
any
deep
pit
or
downeright
pitche
or
peril
what
so
euer
in
this
world
wherein
a
man
should
conceiue
so
much
feare
to
fall
as
into
heresie
.
For
in
all
heresie
dwelleth
the
horrour
of
eternall
death
:
And
to
fall
from
the
assured
firmament
of
the
Churche
in
to
heresie
,
is
to
fall
from
cleaning
to
God
to
the
bottomles
pit
of
him self
:
which
is
as
the
fall
of
Satan
,
when
he
was
headlonge
throwen
downe
from
heauen
to
hell
.
Let
vs
then
take
heed
God
Christian
people
of
separating
of
our selues
,
how
litle
so
euer
it
be
,
from
the
catholike
Church
,
no
,
not
in
one
only
litle
thought
:
let
vs
yeeld
vniuersallie
to
all
that
the
Church
doth
teach
,
without
reseruing
any
thing
,
what
soeuer
it
be
,
to
our
particular
iudgement
,
against
the
iudgement
of
the
Church
.
Looke
how
much
any
man
reserueth
to
his
own
resolution
,
vpon
his
own
proper
sense
,
in
matters
of
faith
:
so
nigh
he
is
to
the
losse
of
his
lyfe
,
so
farre
is
he
in
darknes
of
errour
,
so
near
is
he
to
death
,
so
much
diuided
from
God
,
so
fast
cleaueth
he
to
the
deuil
.
Farre
from
all
those
which
haue
care
of
their
own
euerlasting
saluation
be
that
deadlie
presumption
,
which
would
share
his
faith
with
the
Church
:
that
is
,
would
make
a
choise
and
particular
separation
of
the
points
which
it
pleaseth
him
to
beleeue
,
or
not
to
beleeue
with
the
Church
:
as
if
that
syde
whereunto
,
by
our
own
direction
,
we
resolue
to
leane
,
were
to
vs
a
better
euidence
,
and
cleeret
testimonie
than
the
vniuersal
Churche
.
This
is
,
in
verie
deed
to
censure
the
Church
and
to
make
our selues
iudges
of
the
Church
,
and
of
the
holy
Ghost
also
,
which
teacheth
her
.
This
is
to
be
too
too
much
ignorant
of
our
own
ignorance
,
weaknes
,
and
mesure
of
our
own
state
and
condition
.
The
iudgement
of
one
particular
man
,
how
wise
so
euer
he
may
be
,
is
but
as
a
litle
candle
in
the
darknes
of
the
night
,
the
which
giueth
light
scant
fower
or
fiue
pases
in
circumference
,
but
is
incontinent
obscured
&
inuironed
with
the
exceding
force
of
vniuersal
darknes
.
Wher
the
Church
,
(
which
,
as
S.
Iohn
sayeth
,
is
clothed
with
the
sunne
,
hauing
the
moon
vnder
her
feet
)
dothe
cast
her
beames
vpon
the
face
of
the
whole
earth
,
taking
her
brightnes
from
aboue
,
and
drawing
her
light
out
of
the
sea
of
the
Intelligence
diuine
.
Away
(
say
I
)
with
this
presumption
:
farre
be
it
from
all
our
friends
:
farre
from
the
chosen
and
elect
of
God
:
farre
from
al
those
,
who
haue
an
earnest
desire
of
their
own
saluation
,
&
wolde
willinglie
forsake
this
worlde
,
to
see
God
eternallie
,
and
to
attain
vnto
the
glori
of
eternal
felicitie
.
Away
with
this
rashenes
of
particularities
in
opinions
seuered
from
the
Church
.
This
is
the
verie
cockle
of
wicked
spirits
.
This
is
the
way
to
fall
in
to
the
hands
of
the
deuil
:
who
being
not
able
to
wound
a
man
to
death
,
by
making
him
to
forsake
the
Church
absolutelie
,
dothe
yet
wound
and
disfigure
the
integritie
,
and
sincere
purenes
of
a
Christian
,
in
this
point
at
least
,
that
now
he
is
not
sound
,
and
sincere
,
nor
such
a
one
as
the
beautie
and
state
of
a
christian
requireth
.
Deformed
is
that
member
(
sayth
S.
Augustin
)
which
is
not
conformable
to
the
whole
.
Raither
suffer
the
soule
to
be
diuided
to
dissent
from
the
Church
in
any
one
iote
only
,
or
in
any
one
sole
litle
point
.
He
that
would
agree
with
the
Church
in
all
,
except
one
only
point
,
is
not
a
catholike
.
Faith
is
more
indiuisible
than
the
beames
of
the
sunne
:
it
is
not
to
be
holden
by
halues
:
it
is
a
gift
of
God
,
and
a
grace
infused
:
and
the
gifts
of
God
are
perfite
.
For
concerning
faith
,
who
so
euer
faileth
in
one
article
is
culpable
in
all
.
And
he
is
no
lesse
drouned
,
which
is
but
two
fingars
ouer
head
in
water
,
than
he
which
is
an
hundred
fathoms
dieper
.
A
mans
faith
,
eye
,
and
honour
,
are
thre
things
that
can
not
endure
to
be
hurt
or
impared
,
how
litle
soeuer
it
be
.
Many
of
them
which
haue
yet
some
liuelie
roote
in
the
Church
,
and
hate
heresie
,
doe
giue
to
them selfes
some
times
libertie
to
blame
or
contemne
certein
obseruances
and
ceremonies
of
the
Church
,
as
in
their
opinions
vnprofitable
.
These
lo
do
daungerouslie
erre
,
besides
that
they
shew
herein
their
beastlines
,
and
ignorance
:
for
nothing
vniuersallie
receiued
in
the
Church
is
of
small
consequence
,
or
importance
.
And
vnwoorthie
are
they
to
haue
any
place
in
the
Church
,
and
to
be
partakers
of
the
Sacraments
of
euerlasting
life
,
which
doe
disagree
with
her
in
the
least
point
that
a
man
can
think
of
.
Men
ought
with
more
reuerence
to
iudge
of
such
things
as
are
approued
and
alowed
of
the
vniuersal
Church
.
When
men
debate
of
humain
matters
,
let
then
humain
reason
take
place
:
but
in
the
doctrine
of
faith
,
the
only
authoritie
of
the
Churche
ought
to
rule
.
It
is
not
for
vs
to
take
vpon
vs
to
confirme
,
and
establish
that
whereunto
we
must
obey
.
We
must
in
al
submit
our selues
wholie
to
her
iudgement
,
without
exception
of
any
thing
,
what
soeuer
it
be
:
For
so
soone
as
faith
is
seuered
from
the
Sanctuarie
of
the
Church
,
she
is
out
of
her
natural
element
:
she
hath
no
more
vital
spirit
.
The
Church
hath
secret
motiues
,
&
considerations
tending
to
the
vtilitie
and
preseruation
of
her
vniuersal
familie
,
incomprehensible
to
any
one
priuate
person
:
yet
notwithstanding
they
haue
theyr
foundacions
and
grounds
verie
firme
and
sure
.
The
most
excellent
Philosophie
that
euer
was
in
the
worlde
,
is
that
of
Abraham
,
which
Philo
describeth
.
S.
Peter
thereunto
doeth
exhort
him
.
And
in
In
the
primatiue
Church
,
Sinesius
the
great
that
hath
a
verie
shmal
beam
of
brightnes
,
and
is
so
poore
of
understanding
,
as
he
is
not
hable
to
conceiue
that
the
riuer
which
he
dwelleth
next
vnto
,
is
much
lesse
than
the
Ocean
sea
:
and
that
the
sterres
be
much
greater
than
they
appear
to
his
eyes
:
esteming
the
greatest
things
that
he
knoweth
to
be
the
most
that
God
can
doe
in
that
kynde
:
and
considereth
but
one
thing
onlie
,
where
he
ought
to
consider
an
hundred
thousand
,
persuading
him selfe
euermore
to
haue
in
the
compasse
of
his
brain
,
all
that
God
is
hable
to
doe
,
or
wil
doe
,
mesuring
all
things
by
his
own
capacitie
,
and
sufficiencie
:
which
is
not
onlie
an
extreme
folie
,
but
also
verie
daungerous
.
for
such
folk
vpon
the
least
motion
of
the
deuil
wil
throw
them selues
from
the
high
pinacle
of
the
temple
down
to
the
ground
:
I
mean
from
the
firmament
of
the
Church
,
to
the
bottomles
pit
of
heresie
.
Wil
we
then
be
assured
neuer
to
erre
,
and
to
haue
our
spirite
quiets
,
peacible
among
all
the
wherl
wyndes
and
tempests
of
heresies
?
this
is
the
onlie
mean
:
he
that
walketh
in
the
spirit
of
the
Church
,
is
in
the
high
way
:
he
goeth
not
in
darknes
:
he
goeth
by
day
,
and
setteh
sure
footing
.
The
church
is
to
him
a
bulwark
of
quietnesse
:
a
wall
of
brasse
:
a
stay
more
sure
then
the
firmament
of
heauen
:
yea
,
I
say
truelie
,
more
sure
than
the
firmament
of
heauen
.
For
rather
the
heauen
shal
fall
in
pieces
,
and
all
the
whole
frame
of
the
worlde
shal
fall
into
confusion
,
and
nature
shal
erre
,
rather
than
the
Church
shal
come
to
errour
in
that
doctrine
of
the
saluation
,
which
she
doeth
teach
her
children
.
And
good
reason
:
for
her
vnderstanding
his
higher
than
the
understanding
of
all
nature
:
for
it
is
the
vncreated
vnderstanding
,
the
holie
Ghost
,
God
him self
,
which
doth
gouerne
the
same
immediatlie
.
And
for
the
Churches
sake
,
heauen
,
earth
,
and
all
Nature
haue
bene
made
,
and
doe
consist
:
without
whose
prayers
,
the
frāe
of
the
whole
worlde
could
not
stand
one
moment
.
The
Angels
them selues
(
as
S.

all
But
I
will
no
forther
open
the
priuileiges
of
Grace
,
the
heauenlie
and
liuelie
comforts
which
the
children
of
the
catholike
Church
haue
.
The
catholike
Church
is
the
onlie
fortresse
impregnable
;
the
wiseman
to
her
wil
haue
his
recourse
,
and
shal
be
saued
.
She
is
the
strong
fort
of
the
citie
of
God
,
founded
vpon
the
rock
,
whiche
can
not
be
vndermined
:
She
is
the
true
earthlie
Paradise
,
where
the
tree
of
lyfe
is
planted
,
which
all
of
her
house
may
freelie
vse
,
and
thereby
receiue
nourishment
of
lyfe
euerlasting
.
She
is
the
true
house
of
God
,
where
he
doth
dispose
his
graces
,
and
all
his
goodes
and
the
souueraign
felicitie
.
And
who
euer
can
taist
of
the
fruit
of
the
name
Catholike
:
he
shal
fynde
hem
selfe
happie
,
and
shal
perceiue
in
that
he
is
a
Catholike
,
he
is
as
it
were
weeded
out
of
him selfe
to
be
transplanted
in
God
:
and
being
lostin
him selfe
,
he
shal
fynde
him selfe
grafted
,
and
rooted
in
God
,
in
whom
he
shal
stand
more
surelie
,
more
liuelie
,
more
happilie
,
and
be
more
his
own
man
,
than
standing
in
him selfe
:
where
vpon
his

shal
be
filled
with
true
,
sound
,
parfite
,
soueraign

and
euerlasting

I
doe
not
call
in
question
whether
the
catholike
Churche
be
visible
,
nor
where
she
is
being
a
societie
,
not
of
Angels
,
or
of

separated

but
of
men
.
She
must
necessarilie
be
visible
,
that
one
may
say
,
there
is
the

pointing
to

no

And

if
it
were

it
were
more
easie
to
put
out
the

of
the

,
than
to
darcken
the
Church
.
And
those
which
say
that
the
Church
which
was
planted
of
the
Apostles
,
and
dyd
lighten
the
Gentiles
,
is
no
more
extant
,
and
that
she
is
lost
many
a
day
agoe
;
and
that
strayght
after
the
Apstoles
she
was
eclipsed
of
her
light
,
and
became
an
Apostata
,
in
such
sort
as
the
worlde
is
entered
in
to
darknes
as
before
:
and
those
which
doe
compare
her
to
the
Sinagogue
in
the
time
of
Eli
:
those
(
I
say
)
are
verie
impudent
,
and
their
impudencie
can
not
be
heard
with
out
indignation
,
for
that
it
is
contumeliouse
to
the
sonne
of
God
:
as
if
the
sonne
of
God
(
which
sayd
,
that
he
is
the
light
of
the
world

and
that
he
came
to
renew
all
,
to
destroye
the
workes
of
the
deuil
,
and
to
dispossesse
him
of
his
raign
)
had
not
doen
that
which
he
promised
,
nor
that
which
he
came
for
:
and
as
yf
his
light
had
bene
as
a
flash
of
lightening
vanishing
away
,
and
not
as
a
sonne
rising
,
to
chase
out
effectuallie
the
darknes
of
the
world
.
This
is
a
moost
vile
and
shamefull
abasing
of
Christs
honour
and
estimation
:
this
is
to
take
from
him
the
deserued
inheritance
of
all
Nations
,
which
GOD
the

promised

him

to

him
of

and
to

The

say
they
)
be
called
of
the
name
of
the
arche
heretike
,
but
to
vs
,
no

hath
giuen
a

:

:
and
S.
Ierome
;
If
thou
heare
those
which
are
called
Christians
,
to
beare
a
name
:
not
of
our
lord
Iesus
Christ
,
but
of
some
other
,
(
as
Marcionites
,
Valentinians
)
know
ye
certenly
that
they
are
not
the
Church
of
Iesus
Christ
,
but
a
Sinagoge
of
Antichrist
.
Now
yow
poore
abused
Lutherans
and
Caluinists
,
be
holde
the
horroure
of
your
bothomlesse
pitt
;
you
are
no
more
Christians
;
and
you
haue
no
part
in
the
saluation
by
Iesus
Christ
.
All
ancient
Fathers
do
witnesse
with
one
consent
,
that
the
only
Catholike
is
in
the
Church
of
Iesus
Christ
;
and
all
that
bear
the
name
of
one
particular
man
be
heretikes
,
and
excluded
from
the
kyngdome
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Those
witnesses
can
not
be
reproued
:
and
this
is
one
marueilous
iudgement
of
God
against
heretikes
,
and
a
comfort
for
the
Catholikes
:
by
the
Creed
of
the
Apostles
,
it
is
a
necessarie
consequens
,
that
any
Church
(
if
it
be
a
true
)
must
needes
be
catholike
:
but
there
is
not
a
societe
in
the
world
,
which
doth
possesse
the
name
Catholike
,
saue
only
the
Romain
Church
.
All
others

them selues

the
reformed
Church
,
Gospellers
,
Protestants
,
and
such
other
kinds
of
special
names
as
they
haue
:
but
Catholikes
doe
not
so
,
for
in
all
parts
of
the
world
(
where
the
name
Catholike
Church
doth
sounde
)
it
is
intended
and
vnderstood
,
to
be
the
Romain
Churche
,
yea
by
the
heretikes
them selues
.
A
man
that
passeth
by
Geneua
being
asked
what
he
is
,
if
he
answere
,
I
am
a
Catholik
,
is
taken
of
no
man
there
for
a
Caluinist
.
Seek
not
here
to
blynde
your selues
against
so
manifest
a
trueh
:
but
forsake
both
the
sect
,
and
also
the
name
of
these
wicked
deceiuers
,
the
Archeheretikes
of
this
tyme
,
which
will
draw
you
with
them selues
in
to
their
,
bottomlesse
pitt
of
euerlasting
damnation
,
if
you
do
not
enter
again
in
to
the
Church
and
mount
vp
in
to
the
firmament
of
Catholikes
.
The
secound
marke
of
the
true
Church
is
the
succession
of
Bishoppes
sithens
S.
Peter
,
to
this
day
,
which
neuer
hath
bene
interrupted
;
the
which
succession
the
fathers
haue
alwayes
obiected
against
heretikes
of
their
tyme
as
an
inuincible
argument
,
for
euen
as
to
the
propagation
of
mankinde
,
mariage
is
necessarie
:
so
to
the
procreation
of
the
children
of
God
according
to
the
spirit
,
the
order
of
preisthood
is
instituted
,
which
can
not
be
continewed
perpetuallie
,
but
by
spiritual
propagation
from
those
priests
whom
Iesus
Christ
did
first
institute
.
It
is
not
so
of
kings
,
as
it
is
of
preistes
,
for
if
all
the
kings
of
the
earth
should
faile
at
once
:
the
people
might
create
new
.
But
if
all
the
priests
of
the
world
should
happen
to
fayle
:
it
is
not
in
the
power
of
all
mankinde
to
make
new
.
Their
institution
is
diuine
,
and
not
humain
.
Iesus
Christ
him selfe
must
come
again
in
person
in
to
this
world
for
to
institute
som
new

sayth
,
that
by
this
succession
all
heretikes
be
confounded
:
for
neuer
heretike
could
shew
his
next
predecessor
in
communion
of
doctrin
.
And
to
proue
that
the
Romain
Church
is
the
true
Church
,
he
rekeneth
the
Bishoppes
of

from
S.
Peter
,
vnto

Eluther

,

was

the

:
and
look
in
to
that
order
of
fathers
which
haue
succeded
one

other
:
and
you
shal
fynde
that
the
Romain
Church
is
the
same
stone
,
that
the
proud
gates
of

can
not

And
he

he
addeth
:
Let
no
man
meruail
if
we
be
so
exact
in
this
recital
,
for
by
thies
things
the
euident
trueth
of
the
Church
doth
alwayes
shew
it self
.
If
then
those
auncient
fathers
haue
so
greatlie
estemed
that
continuation
of
twelue
,
twentie
,
or
forty
souerain

how

This
argument
is
insoluble
:
and
all
the
heretikes
of
the
worlde
can
not
answer
the
same
,
for
the
Church
can
not
be
without
priests
,
nor
without
Bishops
and
pastors
.
There
must

except

again
in
to
the
bosom
of

Church
,
where
the
lauful
succession
of
priesthood
of
the
Apostles
doth
remain
.
The
third
marke
is
Antiquitie
:
for
euen
as
the
good
seed
was
sowen
in
the
field
by
the
househoulder
,
before
the
cockle
by
the
enemie
:
so
it
is
certein
,
that
the
true
church
is
more
auncient
than
the
false
.
Now
,
that
the
catholike
,
Apostolike
,
and
Romain
Church
is
the
same
that
IESVS
Christ
him selfe
hath
instituted
,
&
more
auncient
then
all
the
sects
of
heretikes
,
this
argument
wil
forse
them
to
confesse
.
In
all
notable
chaunges
of
religion
six
things
are
to
be
marked
:
the
Author
:
the
new
opinion
:
the
tyme
when
it
began
:
the
place
where
it
began
:
the
Impugners
that
it
had
:
the
small
number
of
folowers
when
the
same
began
to
make
her
separation
of
communion
from
the
religion
that
it
dyd
forsake
.
first
,
we
know
that
the
Author
of
the
heresie
of
Arrians
was
a
preist
of
Alexandria
named
Arrius
:
of
Nestorians
a
Bishop
of
Constantinople
named
Nestorius
:
of
Lutherans
a
monk
of
the
order
of
S.
Augustin
named
Luther
.
Secondlie
we
know
that
the
new
doctrine
of
Arrius
imported
,
that
the
sunne
of
God
was
a
creature
:
Of
Nestorius
,
that
there
was
two
personnes
in
Iesus
Christ
:
Of
Luther
,
that
the
Eucharist
is
not
a
sacrifice
,
and
that
man
is
Iustified
by
that
onely
special
faith
which
he
hath
of
his
own
iustification
.
Thirdlie
we
know
that
the
sect
of
Arrius
dyd
beginne
the
yere
of
our
Lord
324.
that
of
Nestorius
,
the
yere
of
431.
that
of
Luther
,
the
yere
1517.
Fowertlie
we
know
that
the
Arrianisme
dyd
beginne
in
Aegipte
:
the
heresie
of
Nestorius
in
Thrace
:
that
of
Luther
in
Saxonie
.
Fiftlie
we
know
that
the
Arrians
were
Impugned
by
Pope
Syluester
,
by
the
Councel
of
Nice
,
by
S.
Athanasius
'
by
S.
Hilarie
,
and
many
others
:
the
Nestorians
by
Pope
Celestin
,
by
the
Councel
of
Ephesus
,
by
S.
Ciril
,
and
many
others
:
the
Lutherans
by
Pope
Leo
the
tenth
:
by
the
Councel
of
Trent
,
by
all
vniuersities
catholikes
,
and
by
many
Doctors
.
Finally
,
we
know
that
in
the
beginning
when
all
those
archeheretikes
did
separate
them selues
from
the
communion
of
catholikes
,
they
were
small
in
number
,
an
that
euen
then
the
catholikes
were
dispersed
throughout
the
world
in
infinite
numbers
.
None
of
all
those
thinges
can
be
obiected
by
the
Lutherans
and
Caluinists
againste
the
catholikes
.
First
they
haue
neuer
obiected
vs
,
the
autor
of
our
faith
contrary
to
theirs
:
neither
haue
they
named
vs
after
any
particular
man
,
which
they
wolde
verie
willinglie
haue
done
if
they
could
.
Secondly
they
doe
not
shew
the
beginninge
of
any
our
new
doctrine
,
if
they
ascend
not
vp
to
the
Apostles
whose
nouelty
is
ours
,
and
is
our
antiquitie
against
all
heresies
.
They
are
not
also
hable
to
shew
any
tyme
certain
of
our
faling
from
the
Church
:
nor
the
place
,
neither
where
it
should
haue
begun
;
nor
those
which
did
impugne
the
same
,
as
new
:
nor
that
any
councels
haue
bene
celebrated
against
her
:
nor
finally
that
this
our
Church
catholike
,
Apostolike
,
and
Romain
,
did
separate
it self
from
some
greater
,
that
was
before
,
in
such
sorte
as
those
which
did
communicate
with
the
Romaine
Church
were
fewe
in
member
,
and
that
the
rest
of
Christians
were
farre
more
greater
.
For
it
appeareth
by
the
epistles
of
S.
Gregorie
,
the
Pope
which
he
did
write
to
the
Bishops
of
the
East
,
of
Afrike
,
of
Spaine
,
of
France
,
of
Italie
,
that
almoste
all
the
Christians
of
the
world
did
communicate
with
him
.
Now
it
is
a
thowsand
yeeres
past
sithens
S.
Greg
:
and
the
doctrine
of
faith
which
he
did
teache
,
is
the
same
that
the
Church
doth
teach
at
this
day
.
The
fowerth
marke
is
continewance
without
being
interrupted
.
It
is
foretould
in
Daniel
,
sanct
Paule
,
that
heresies
Paganisme
,
Iudaisme
,
Machometisme
,
and
the
relikes
of
Nestorianisme
in
Grece
.
But
it
is
certein
by
the
confession
of
Lutherans
and
Caluists
them selues
,
that
the
Church
of
IESVS
Christe
was
not
in
any
one
of
thies
sectes
;
whereof
it
foloweth
that
she
was
in
the
Romaine
Church
,
or
els
quyte
extinguised
in
al
the
whorld
,
which
can
not
be
.
Trulie
this
marke
of
the
true
church
is
famous
:
for
sythens
Theobutes
and
Simon
Magus
the
first
Archeheretikes
vntil
Luther
,
two
hundred
diuers
heresies
haue
had
their
course
,
wherof
some
were
vpholden
by
verie
mightie
Patrones
:
by
Emperours
,
by
kynges
,
by
lerned
men
,
making
innumerable
books
,
out
of
the
which
a
man
woulde
haue
sayed
that
they
could
neuer
be
blotted
.
And
notwithstanding
,
by
the
wonderfull
prouidence
of
God
thei
be
so
weeded
out
of
the
earth
,
that
there
remaineth
nothing
at
all
,
nether
of
the
followers
,
nor
of
their
bookes
,
nor
of
theyr
doctrine
,
nor
any
signe
at
all
,
but
that
which
is
found
in
the
bookes
of
catholikes
;
who
if
they
had
not
written
their
names
in
their
books
,
we
had
not
knowen
that
such
heresies
had
euer
bene
in
the
world
:
and
there
is
no
doute
but
the
flouds
of
heresies
of
theis
tymes
wil
also
slyde
away
shortly
.
The
fyueth
marke
of
the
true
Church
is
the
largenes
of
the
raigne
.
And
this
marke
is
verie
euident
in
the
Catholike
Church
,
the
which
doth
fructifie
throughout
the
vniuersal
world
in
both
the
hemispheres
;
And
the
sunne
doth
not
streache
his
beames
further
then
she
.
I
know
wel
that
she
hath
not
the
temporal
regiment
of
external
Iustice
throughout
the
whole
world
:
but
she
hath
euerie

.
So
that
there
is
no
tonge
,
nor
people
,
nor
climat
of
countrie
inhabited
,
where
(
if
perhaps
the
most
parte
be
not
carholikes
)
yet
at
the
leaste
there
are
some
.
I
say
some
notable
number
;
which
assamble
them selues
in
the
Church
and
communicate
Catholiklie
in
the
Sacraments
of
the
Church
:
among
the
Turkes
,
among
the
Persians
,
among
the
Tartarians
,
among
the
Panymes
,
throughout
the
compasse
of
the
earth
:
for
the
carholike
Church
is
not
restreined
within
the
bonds
of
Italie
,
Fraunce
,
Spaine
,
Germanie
,
England
,
Polland
,
Rome
,
Hungarie
,
Greece
,
Siria
,
Armenia
,
Ethiope
,
Egipt
,
and
other
countries
wherof
the
names
are
wel
known
vnto
vs
,
and
where
the
Catholikes
be
in
infinite
number
:
but
she
doth
spread
her self
in
to
the
new
world
,
and
in
all
those
foure
partes
of
that
new
world
,
where
she
hath
many
Churches
,
without
mingling
of
heresies
:
of
the
East
syde
in
the
Indians
:
of
the
west
syde
in
America
:
towardes
the
north
in
Iapon
,
towards
the
south
in
Brasilia
:
what
heresie
is
that
,
that
euer
had
such
largenes
?
As
for
the
sectes
of
Lutherans
and
Caluinists
,
they
haue
not
passed
in
Asia
,
nor
into
Africa
,
nor
in
to
Grece
,
nor
into
many
prouinces
of
Europe
.
Yea
euen
in
the
verie
springs
of
mischief
in
the
North
,
where
heresies
haue
most
might
,
there
are
not
two
townes
neighbours
possessed
of
one self
sect
.
All
heresie
is
as

And
S.
Augustine
sayth
very
wel
that
the
Church
is
euery
where
,
heresie
also
euery
where
:
But
the
Church
is
one
and
the
self
same
euery
where
,
where
as
heresies
be
not
the
same
euery
where
:
but
be
of
great
diuersitie
,
the
one
not
knowinge
the
other
.
Wherof
it
doth
appeare
(
sayth
he
)
that
none
of
those
is
the
Catholike
Church
.
And
he
compareth
heresies
to
boughes
cut
from
the
vine
which
abide
in
the
place
where
they
fall
without
fructifying
:
wher
as
the
Church
is
the
liuelie
stocke
,
which
doth
bring
fruit
in
all
hir
braunches
throughout
whereso
euer
she
doth
extend
her self
.
The
sixt
marke
is
the
conquest
of
the
world
by
efficacie
of
doctrine
,
which
is
the
doctrine
of
the
true
Church
,
being
liuelie

more

he
)
their
doctrine
was
dead
and
without
force
;
and
their
speche
did
not
proceed
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
but
of
the
spirit
of
man
.
Neither
did
any
man
euer
read
that
the
heretikes
conuerted
Idolators
or
Iewes
to
the
faith
.
Their
care
(
sayth
Tertullian
)
is
not
to
conuert
straungers
to
Iesus
Christ
,
but
to
peruert
hys
domesticals
,
and
those
which
he
alredy
gotten
to
him
▪
not
to
geue
lyfe
to
the
dead
,
but
to
giue
deadlie
poison
to
the
liuing
:
not
to
lifte
them
vp
which
be
on
the
grounde
,
but
to
make
them
fall
that
stand
vpright
.
The
efficacie
of
their
doctrine
is
not
to
edifie
;
it
serueth
but
to
distroy
,
and
this
marke
doth
shew
it self
very
openlie
in
thies
our
dayes
.
Here
is
now
the
very
large
harvest
of
the
new
world
in
ripenes
.
It
behooueth
to
send
workmen
:
but
from
whence
doth
the
Lord
of
the
haruest
take
them
?
The
Church
catholike
,
and
heresie
making
both
profession
to
be
of
Iesus
Christ
,
their
dueties
are
,
to
increase
the
howsehold
of
Iesus
Christ
asmuch
as
they
can
,
by
conuerting
the
infidels
to
the
faith
.
This
notwithstanding
because
IESVS
CHRIST
wil
not
be
planted
in
the
hartes
of
straungers
by
other
handes
then
of
his
deare
spouse
,
therfore
the
catholikes
only
are
they
which
preache
the
Gospel
to
Idolators
,
and
gaine
them
to
Iesus
Christe
.
The
heretikes
haue
neuer
drawn
the
least
prouince
from
Paganisme
to
Christianitie
.
when
we
haue
conuerted
them
to
Iesus
Christ
:
the
heretikes
come
afterwardes
to
deceiue
them
.
But
men
see
that
God
doth
not
permit
the
worke
of
conuerting
them
,
to
any
other
then
to
his
true
Church
:
as
we
being
those

only
which
be
the
fishers
of
men
;
those
alone
which
draw
the
soules
of
men
from
the
sea
of
infidelitie
,
to
the
shoar
of
Christianitie
.
The
heretiks
neuer
throwe
their
nettes
in
sea
,
but
after
that
we
haue
put
the
fish
vpon
the
shoar
,
then
they
put
all
their
gloire
to
rob
and
carie
away
some
litle
fishe
,
as
theues
&
not
as
fishers
.
Euen
so
the
Gothes
being
alredy
made
Catholike
,
demaunding
Catholike
Bishops
for
to
gouern
their
churches
;
Valence
sent
them
Arrians
for
to
subuert
them
.
The
cause
why
the
heretikes
can
not
conuert
the
infidels
to
the
faith
is
,
for
that
propounding
the
scripture
,
they
doe
not
propound
the
true
sense
which
is
properlie
the
swoard
of
the
spirit
.
The
wordes
of
the
scriptures
are
but
as
the
sheath
which
holdes
the
sworde
of
the
spirite
.
They
then
fighting
,
not
with
the
sworde
,
but
with
the
sheath
onlye
,
it
is
no
merueil
if
they
doe
not
pearse
the
hartes
of
Infideles
.
Besydes
that
the
heretikes
and
Idolaters
belonge
all
to
one self
maister
:
But
in
the
Romain
church
,
not
onlie
at
the
beginning
,
but
euen
at
all
tymes
this
efficacie
hath
bene
found
.
This
is
the
Romain
Church
which
did
first
conuert
the
Englishe
men
to
the
faith
in
the
tyme
of
S.
Gregorie
the
Pope
:
This
is
the
Romain
Church
which
did
conuert
the
Saxons
and
the
whole
coutrey
of
Almains
,
in
the
times
of
Pope
Conon
,
and
of
Pope
Zacharie
:
This
is
the
self
same
Church
that
conuerted
the
Vandales
,
Bulgarians
,
Sclauonians
,
Polonians
,
Danes
,
Norwaies
,
Hungarians
,
Morauians
,
with
infinite
kinges
&
people
.
And
it
is
not
past
twoo
hundred
yeares
ago
syns
that
one
only
mounke
S.
Vincent
of
the
order
of
S.
Dominike
did
conuert
to
the
faith
25000.
as
wel
Iewes
as
sararins
.
It
is
in
our
tyme
that
the
new
worlde
receiued
the
faith
of
the
Romaine
Church
.
And
it
is
not
many
yeres
ago
syns
that
some
Turkes
&
some
Iewes
were
baptized
at
Rome
and
other
places
in
the
Romain
Church
.
The
Lutherans
&
Caluinists
can
not
boaste
them selues
to
haue
conuerted
to
their
sect
neither
Panimes
nor
Turkes
,
nor
Iewes
,
whervpon
it
doth
appeare
that
they
be
of
the
spirite
of
the
deuil
,
sithens
that
all
their
force
is
no
maner
of
waye
to
get
the
Infidels
,
but
only
to
distroy
the
Christians
.
The
seuenth
marke
is
the
conformitie
of
doctrine
with
the
Primitiue
Church
.
Now
that
the
auncient
fathers
did
teach
the
same
doctrine
that
we
doe
at
this
day
,
and
condemned
for
heretical
that
whiche
we
condemne
,
their
bookes
beare
witnes
therof
;
of
the
which
I
wil
say
further
,
that
who
so
euer
readeth
them
shal
necessarelie
frame
to
him self
a
catholike
spirit
,
and
shal
neuer
after
drinke
the
venim
of
any
heresie
.
For
all
thies
fathers
,
as
they
were
well
instructed
vpon
what
states
the
holy
Ghost
doth
rest
him self
:
so
doe
they
breathe
out
nothing
but
humilitie
,
abatement
of
presumption
,
abnegation
or
denial
of
them selues
,
a
soueraigne
reuerence
to
the
Church
,
a
perpetual
flame
of
charitie
,
and
a
care
of
spiritual
vnitie
,
and
as
a
man
might
saye
,
an
indiuisibilitie
with
the
Church
.
The
eight
marke
is
holines
of
doctrine
;
(
that
is
to
saye
)
when
the
profession
of
doctrine
doth
not
contein
any
falsehood
concerning
matter
of
faith
;
nor
iniustice
concerning
maners
:
by
the
which
marke
,
it
is
conuicted
that
there
is
no
true
Church
in
the
world
but
the
catholike
Church
.
For
there
is
not
a
sect
in
the
world
be
it
of
the
Panimes
,
Iewes
,
Turkes
,
or
of
heretikes
as
wel
olde
as
new
,
but
it
doth
contein
in
her
doctrine
some
manifest
impietie
,
or
some
iniustice
directly
contrary
to
reason
▪
as
the
sect
of
Caluin
doth
make
God
authour
of
sinne
:
and
as
much
the
cause
of
the
treason
of
Judas
,
as
of
the
conuersion
of
S.
Peter
:
and
doth
teache
that
the
christian
can
not
do
any
good
worke
.
Besyds
that
,
al
theyr
writings
be
impugnours
of
chastitie
,
of
virginitie
,
of
Religion
:
inveihing
against
fasting
,
against
vowes
,
against
all
orderlie
deuotion
in
the
church
:
establishing
all
vice
:
prouoking
to
dispaire
:
&
laboring
to
extingwishe
the
seed
of
immortalitie
in
the
hartes
of
men
.
But
the
Church
catholike
is
perfaictlie
holie
and
immaculate
in
her
doctrine
:
she
doth
teach
many
things
in
her
misteries
aboue
reason
,
but
nothing
against
reason
:
she
doth
teache
to
auoide
sinne
;
she
doth
correcte
transgressors
;
she
doth
comfort
the
penitentes
:
she
doth
exhorte
all
her
children
to
walke
holilie
,
iustlie
,
religiouslie
in
all
their
wayes
;
and
to
haue
their
verie
thoughts
holie
,
purging
,
illuminating
,
&
making
them
perfect
for
to
present
them
holie
to
God
.
Come
(
sayth
S.
Augustin
)
to
our
Churches
;
there
is
nothing
set
foorth
to
see
,
or
to
follow
wich
is
impossible
;
nothing
vniust
,
nothing
impure
:
there
be
insinuated
the
comandementes
of
the
true
God
,
or
his
marueilles
declared
,
or
his
giftes
praysed
,
or
his
graces
demaunded
.
And
ther
is
no
perfect
ioye
nor
true
consolation
in
the
worlde
but
there
:
for
that
there
is
not
any
remission
of
sinnes
in
the
world
but
there
.
The
ninth
marke
is
holines
of
lyfe
,
aswel
in
priests
as
in
the
people
.
I
know
that
this
marke
although
many
doe
cauil
at
it
,
yet
is
it
forceible
:
&
more
notorius
in
catholikes
,
than
in
all
the
sectaries
of
the
world
.
S.
Chrysostome
sayth
,
that
all
the
kindes
of
Iustice
that
the
seruants
of
God
haue
in
truth
,
the
seruants
of
the
deuil
may
haue
the
same
in
dissimulation
.
The
deuil
(
sayth
he
)
hath
his
meeke
men
,
and
his
humble
men
:
he
hath
his
chaste
men
,
his
almes
giuers
:
his
fasters
,
and
all
kinde
of
goodnes
that
god
hath
created
for
the
saluation
of
men
.
The
deuil
hath
brought
in
the
same
kind
for
to
deceiue
them
:
to
the
end
that
between
the
true
good
and
the
good
faigned
there
should
be
a
confusion
,
by
the
which
the
symple
not
being
easelie
hable
to
discerne
the
true
good
from
the
good
faigned
,
whiles
they
searching
the
men
of
God
,
they
light
vpon
men
of
the
deuil
:
and
there
is
not
any
thing
but
onlie
charitie
,
that
the
vncleane
spirit
can
not
counterfeit
.
All
apparence
of
Iustice
is
found
in
deceiuers
except
onlie
charitie
,
which
is
not
found
but
in
the
onlie
seruants
of
God
:
The
holie
Ghoste
hath
reserued
to
him self
onlie
this
vertue
of
charitie
,
in
such
sort
,
that
by
no
other
action
of
Iustice
a
man
may
so
wel
discerne
where
the
holie
ghost
is
,
as
by
the
vertue
of
charitie
.
All
heresies
at
te
beginninge
come
masked
with
a
superficial
holines
,
whiche
for
that
it
is
not
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
can
not
soundlie
be
there
setled
.
And
as
the
ape
learned
by
arte
to
hold
the
candle
after
he
hath
stode
some
small
while
in
stead
of
a
candelstik
,
at
the
sight
of
a
nut
caste
before
him
leaueth
all
for
to
runne
after
it
:
euen
so
they
can
not
long
time
indure
without
manifesting
the
spirit
wherof
they
be
.
And
as
theyr
father
was
a
morderer
from
the
beginning
,
so
they
be

,
but
one

mother
pride
hath
ingendred
them
all
,
as
also
our
onlie
mother
the
Catholike
Church
hath
brought
foorth
all
faithfull
Christians
dispersed
throughout
the
world
.
And
all
thes
heresies
doe
springe
by
accident

Luther
witnessed
his
owne
motiue
in
the
first
disputation
aginst
Ecchius
,
crying
out
,
this
cause
is
not
begunne
for
the
loue
of
God
:
Him self
hath
written
that
willinglie
he
would
haue
denied
the
presens
of
Iesus
Christ
in
the
Eucharist
,
if
the
scripture
had
not
bene
so
cleare
;
for
that
therby
(
sayth
he
)
he
did
see
that
he
might
do
much
hart
to
the
Papacie
.
He
boasteth
him self
,
that
kinges
,
Princes
,
and
Popes
were
not
worthie
to
vntie
the
latche
of
his
shoes
:
he
sayed
that
he
would
that
they
should
holde
him
for
a
holie
man
whether
men
would
or
no
:
that

And
for
to
shew
more
plainlie
that
his
father
is
the
king
ouer
all
the
children

pride
,
he
sayth

As
for
our

it
can
not
be
dissembled
,

that
there
be
dreedfull
scandals
,
and
all
good
people
haue
their
hartes
wounded
to
see
the
disorders
that
be
in

that

But
what
so

,
yet
are
there
some
found
not
vnworthie
,
dispersed
here
and

,

The
grief
is
that

surmount

It

we
honor
them
,
as

the
habilitie
of
all
creatures
,
as
to
raise
the
dead
,
to
make
the
blind
to
see
,
to
helpe
the
lame
,
and
to
cure
diseases
which
are
naturalie
incurable
.
And
this
marke
is
necessarie
for
to
persuade
a
new
faith
,
or
an
extraordinarie
sending
,
euen
according
as
the
scripture
and
all
the
fathers
doe
teach
.
But
neuer
were
there
true
miracles
in
the
worlde
but
among
the
Iewes
and
the
Catholikes
:
The
Iewes
haue
not
had
anie
,
sithens
Iesus
Christ
.
The
Mahometists
haue
neuer
made
anie
:
&
Mahomet
sayth
in
the
Alcoran
,
that
the
miracles
haue
bene
giuen
to
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
sword
to
him
.
The
Panimes
also
neuer
wrought
any
true
miracles
.
Those
wich
they
report
touching
an
oxe
and
an
Image
which
did
speake
,
water
caried
in
a
siue
by
a
vestal
virgin
,
a
rasor
that
did
cut
a
whetstone
,
and
Tac.

hist.
both
Christian
and
Iudaical
.
But
yet
to
take
the
historie
,
as
if
there
were
no
errour
in
the
name
of
Serapis
,
and
that
the
deed
were
auerred
in
the
person
of
Vespasian
:
it
was
not
a
blinde
man
in
deed
,
nor
a
lame
man
indeed
which
were
healed
by
Vespasian
.
For
Tacitus
doth
write
that
the
Phisiciens
assembled
did
saye
,
that
the
disease
of
those
two
were
curable
:
that
in
the
one
the
facultie
of
sight
was
not
lost
;
and
that
the
same
might
come
again
,
if
they
did
take
from
him
the
impediments
:
As
to
the
other
,
he
sayd
that
it
was
easye
to
helpe
his
legges
.
Therefore
if
the
diseases
which
naturalie
might
be
healed
,
haue
bene
cured
by
the
craft
of
the
deuil
:
that
is
not
a
true
miracle
.
And
it
is
credible
which
Tertullian
sayth
,
that
those
diseases
whereof
the
deuil
,
which

deafe
,
holpen
the
lame
,
and
raised
the
deade
.
And
it
is
not
much
more
then
a
hundred
yeares
from
S.
Vincent
,
he
which
did
conuert
25.
thowsand
Iewes
and
Sarasins
,
of
whom
38.
dead
men
weare
reised
from
death
to
life
.
Anthoninus
which
was
of
his
time
hath
written
the
same
.
And
all
the
people
,
Christians
,
Iewes
,
and
Turkes
did
see
the
same
.
Of
our
time
it
hath
bene
written
from
the
Indiens
newlie
discouered
,
that
Francis
Xauier
priest
,
a
Iesuit
hath
healed
some
of
the
palsey
,
some
deafe
,
some
domme
,
some
blinde
:
and
raised
one
dead
,
and
hath
done
other
miracles
,
witnessing
that
he
was
of
the
spirit
of
the
Apostles
:
And
all
those
holie
persons
were
Catholikes
.
Manie
haue
written
that
Caluin
&
other
new
heretikes
haue
suborned
poore
people
for
to
counterfait
them selues
to
be
dead
,
to
the
end
that
they
might
raise
them
again
in
the
assemble
of
people
,
for
to
authorise
their
impietie
:
the
which
counterfaiting
to
be
dead
,
haue
dyed
indeed
in
the
act
of
their
feyning
,
to
the
confusion
of
the
deceiuers
.
In
conclusion
,
the
marke
of
the
true
miracles
is
not
found
in
any
place
of
the
world
,
but
in
the
Catholike
Church
.
The
eleuenth
marke
,
is
the
vnhappie
end
of
the
archeheretikes
,
&
of
princes
their
protectors
,
and
the
prosperitie
of
those
that
haue
defended
the
Church
.
I
know
how
much
a
man
must
leane
or
trust
to
this
marke
;
I
know
that
God
doth
often
spare
the
wicked
,
and
doth
fatten
them
with
prosperities
,
&
shew
him self
more
austere
and
hard
to
his
true
children
,
to
the
end
to
a
wake
them
again
,
and
that
they
remain
not
setled
in
the
earth
.
Therfore
our
faith
hath
other
sounde
groundes
sufficient
without
authorising
her
by
euentes
,
which
may
haue
by
the
wil
of
God
motiues
vnto
vs
incomprehensible
:
and
may
happen
somtimes
with
disaduantage
(
in
respect
of
the
world
)
to
the
true
children
of
God
,
as
roddes
and
fatherlie
chastisementes
.
But
we
see
ordinarilie
that
God
doth
shew
him self
so
good
a
father
,
and
so
fauorable
towardes
those
which
be
couragiouse
to
defende
his
Church
,
that
ouer
and
aboue
the
most
happie
eternitie
,
which
is
assured
vnto
them
,
he
doth
reward
them
also
temporallie
:
and
strikes
with
ignominie
and
calamities
,
those
which
be
enemies
to
him
.
Among
the
Archeheretiks
,
Simon
Magus
caried
by
the
deuil
in
the
ayr
,
at
the
prayer
of
S.
Peter
did
fall
downe
and
all
brused
died
shamefullie
:
Manicheus
was
slain
a
liue
by
the
king
of
Persia
.
Montanus
did
hang
him self
:
Arrius
being
about
to
goe
into
the
Church
,
sodeinlie
died
of
an
horrible
death
casting
out
his
intrailes
:
Nestorius
was
eaten
of
vermin
.
Luther
died
sodenlie
the
same
night
that
at
sopper
he
had
tippled
square
,
gossiped
,
and
made
all
the
companie
to
laugh
.
Zwinglius
was
slaine
in
warre
against
the
Catholikes
:
Corolstadius
slaine
of
a
deuil
by
the
testimonie
of
his
own
disciples
.
Caluin
died
yet
more
miserably
.
Among
princes
,
Iulian
the
Apostata
was
slaine
from
heauen
,
and
his
bodie
without
buryenge
was
swalowed
vp
of
the
earth
,
Valens
burned
aliue
of
the
Arrian
Gothes
whom
he
had
fauored
.
Anastasius
was
striken
with
thunder
:
Hunerick
king
of
Vandals
eaten
with
vermin
:
The
3.
Herods
,
as
also
Nero
,
Domitian
,
Maximin
and
all
the
other
persecutors
of
Christians
be
miserablie
dead
,
either
be
killing
them selues
,
or
being
cruellie
killed
by
their
owne
men
.
Contrariwise
all
the
Emperours
and
Catholike
kinges
which
haue
defended
the
church
,
haue
bene
glorious
in
the
world
:
God
hath
made
them
triumphe
ouer
their
enemies
,
&
hath
giuen
them
their
desires
.
The
examples
of
Constantin
,
of
Theodosius
the
elder
&
yonger
,
of
Honorius
&
of
others
,
doth
proue
the
same
.
So
longe
as
Heraclius
was
a
good
catholike
,
he
prospered
against
the
Persians
:
after
that
he
bekame
an
heretike
,
he
was
vnhappie
and
died
miserablie
:
Likewise
Iustinian
.
And
to
be
,
short
,
sithens
that
the
Emperours
of
the
east
,
did
withdraw
them selues
from
the
Romain
Church
,
they
grew
from
daie
to
daie
in
decaie
,
waxing
weakar
and
weakar
till
they
lost
the
Empire
.
It
is
apparent
that
the
Emperours
of
the
west
haue
floris
hed
more
or
lesse
,
according
as
their
deuocion
was
more
or
lesse
to
the
church
:
As
for
Fraunce
we
can
not
denie
that
euer
it
hath
bene
in
greater
glorie
and
more
redowted
to
the
world
,
than
when
it
was
a
refuge
to
Popes
;
and
hath
neuer
declined
so
much
as
when
it
hath
bene
against
them
.
And
of
our
kings
,
those
which
haue
done
most
for
the
Romain
Church
,
haue
bene
the
most
happie
,
most
beloued
of
the
people
,
and
most
dreadful
to
their
enemies
.
In
our
time
,
in
the
yere
1531.
the
Catholike
Suissers
had
fiue
battailes
against
the
heretik
Suissers
,
and
in
them
all
the
Catholikes
did
vanquishe
the
heretikes
:
&
making
finalie
a
peace
,
in
the
first
article
,
the
heretikes
did
write
this
clause
:
that
from
thense
forth
they
would
leaue
in
peace
their
confederates
concerning
the
point
of
their
true
indoubted
and
catholike
faith
.
And
the
catholikes
this
clause
:
that
they
would
leaue
their
confederates
in
peace
touching
the
point
of
their
faith
,
without
adding
this
words
true
,
indoubted
,
Catholike
.
In
Germanie
1547.
Charles
the
fifte
with
a
small
number
had
a
marueilous
victoire
of
the
Lutherans
,
which
had
an
armie
of
more
then
threescore
thowsand
men
.
In
Fraunce
the
Catholikes
haue
alwaies
for
the
most
part
ouercome
the
heretikes
,
as
at
the
battell
of
dreuz
,
of
Ierna
,
of
Mountcounter
,
and
seldome
or
neuer
haue
the
heretikes
in
iuste
battel
ouercome
the
catholikes
,
neither
in
Fraunce
,
nor
in
flaunders
,
nor
in
Almaine
,
nor
els
where
:
and
we
shal
see
doubtles
(
with
the
grace
of
God
)
that
those
which
at
this
daie
put
them selues
in
force
to
defend
the
Church
,
God
shal
croune
them
with
honour
and
glorie
,
and
shal
heape
vnto
them
goods
,
prosperities
,
and
temporal
blessings
,
&
shal
cause
his
wrath
and
all
maledictions
and
shames
to
raigne
vpon
the
persecutors
,
and
vpon
the
secret
traitors
which
doe
fauour
heresie
.
The
twelueth
marke
,
is
the
vnion
of
the
members
with
their
soueraine
head
,
which
is
the
successor
of
S.
Peter
,
in
the
gouernement
of
the
vniuersall
Church
.
Our
Sauiour
being
desirous
to
giue
vs
suer
and
setteled
centre
in
the
sphere
of
his
church
,
from
the
which
all
the
lines
of
the
doctrine
of
saluation
should
be
drawen
to
the
circumference
of
the
world
,
did
chose
the
chaire
of
S.
Peter
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
place
consecrated
by
the
seat
and
martirdom
of
S.
Peter
,
the
which
by
prerogatiue
of
honour
he
did
appoint
to
be
head
of
the
vnitie
of
his
Church
,
making
him
,
not
his
successor
(
for
it
is
IESVS
CHRIST
him self
,
which
is
alwaies
the
onlie
true
head
of
his
Churche
,
remaining
vnmouable
and
immortal
,
and
which
neuer
shal
haue
successor
,
making
it
fruitful
alwais
him self
onlie
,
by
his
holie
spirit
.
)
But
making
him
his
depute
,
liftenant
,
and
vice
gerent
in
earth
,
in
the
outward
ministerie
and
soueraine
iurisdiction
of
his
Church
,
and
after
him
all
his
successors
in
the
same
sorte
:
So
that
the
soueraine
Bishoppes
be
vicars
of
IESVS
CHRIST
,
and
not
successors
:
and
successors
of
S.
Peter
not
his
vicars
.
who
so
euer
wil
take
from
the
church
,
that
Monarchie
called
the
vicareige
of
IESVS
Christ
,
he
wold
haue
a
floke
without
a
pastor
:
an
armie
without
a
leader
:
a
bodie
without
a
head
:
a
building
without
foundation
:
and
the
starres
without
their
sonne
;
that
is
to
save
,
he
would
haue
the
dispersion
of
the
flocke
,
the
discomforture
of
the
Armie
,
the
death
of
the
bodie
,
the
ouerthrow
of
the
building
,
the
darkning
of
the
starres
;
he
would
haue
a
confused
chaos
,
disordered
&
voyd
of
all
proportion
,
and
an
Anarchie
or
gouernement
,
more
horrible
,
more
confused
and
more
disordered
,
than
the
bottomlesse
pit
it self
;
he
deserueth
not
to
be
heard
.
God
which
is
the
author
of
order
and
not
of
confusion
,
which
hath
appointed
an
order
among
the
Angels
,
wil
not
that
we
goe
mingle
mangle
in
the
societie
of
this
world
.
We
know
wel
as
touching
the
power
of
the
order
,
which
concerneth
the
real
bodie
of
the
person
of
Iesus
Christ
,
all
priestes
be
equal
to
S.
Peter
,
and
to
the
soueraine
bishoppe
in
the
priesthood
:
But
as
touching
the
Iurisdiction
which
doth
concerne
the
bodie
misticall
of
the
church
,
there
it
is
where
there
are
different
degrees
,
and
where
one
soueraine
head
of
all
priestes
is
requisit
,
which
may
hold
the
principalitie
ouer
all
the
Ckurch
.
Who
so
euer
dissembleth
to
the
rocke
:
for
in
those
two
that
were
surnamed
sonnes
of
thunder
,
the
name
was
not
chaunged
,
they
had
onlie
the
gyft
of
vehemencie
.
Now
God
did
neuer
put
new
name
,
but
when
he
made
some
great
new
benefite
in
the
world
,
giuing
with
the
name
the
efficacie
of
the
which
it
doth
signifie
:
as
naming
Abraham
he
gaue
him
to
be
made
a
father
of
manie
nations
:
euen
so
naming
Peter
,
he
gaue
him
the
firmnes
of
the
rocke
and
of
stone
,
for
to
ground
vpon
him
some
great
new
building
.
Let
it
be
also
considered
that
S.
Peter
is
only
he
among
the
Apostles
:
to
whom
the
father
euerlasting
did
reueale
,
that
Iesus
was
Christe
,
the
sonne
of
the
liuing
God
.
For
al
the
other
holding
their
peace
,
&
suffering
the
ignorant
opinon
of
the
common
people
to
preuaile
which
had
so
base
an
imagination
of
IESVS
Christ
,
that
they
did
esteme
him
only
,
for
either
Elias
,
for
the
zeale
of
the
lawe
;
or
Hieremie
for
the
holines
of
lyfe
:
or
Ihon
Baptist
by
reason
of
his
baptizing
:
or
some
prophet
for
to
reueile
the
things
to
come
:
S.
Peter
only
put
him self
forward
not
hauing
respect
to
the
substance
of
fleashe
and
blood
;
but
passing
on
beyond
those
corporal
and
humain
thinges
,
by
reuelation
of
the
soueraigne
father
he
did
see
with
the
eies
of
the
minde
the
sonne
of
the
liuing
God
;
and
confessed
the
gloire
of
his
deitie
,
pronouncing
with
hart
&
mouth
theese
wordes
,
or
rather
that
sound
of
the
diuinitie
and
humanitie
of
IESVS
Christ
:
Thow
art
Christ
the
sonne
of
the
liuing
God
:
as
if
he
had
said
,
thow
art
not
Elias
,
which
was
taken
vp
into
heauen
,
thou
art
Iesus
Christ
which
art
descended
from
heauen
for
to
lift
vp
man
from
the
earth
:
thou
art
not
Hieremie
,
or
Ihon
baptist
sanctified
in
the
woumbes
of
thir
mothers
,
But
Iesus
Christ
sanctifying
the
world
:
thou
art
not
a
prophet
to
whom
are
reuealed
the
things
to
come
,
but
Iesus
Christ
which
hast
present
in
thy
sight
all
eternitie
.
Those
woordes
,
be
verie
high
,
but
the
sense
vnderstood
by
S.
Peter
,
is
yet
much
higher
:
And
it
was
necessarie
that
it
should
so
be
,
that
he
which
ought
to
hold
the
chaire
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
to
teach
all
the
world
the
true
religion
,
should
haue
that
loftines
of
faith
,
that
greatenes
of
knowleige
,
that
feruour
of
loue
,
and
confesse
the
same
,
by
the
which
his
confession
,
as
Iesus
Christ
,
had
made
him
to
know
God
:
so
S.
Peter
had
made
Iesus
Christ
to
be
knowen
:
Whervpon
Iesus
Christ
hath
therfore
loued
him
aboue
all
the
other
,
hath
therfore
declared
him
verie
happie
and
hath
giuen
him
that
greate
participarion
of
his
name
,
rocke
.
And
to
the
end
that
that
name
should
not
be
void
and
idle
,
he
promised
him
that
vpon
that
stone
,
he
would
build
his
Church
,
and
that
the
gates
of
hell
should
neuer
preuaile
against
the
same
:
that
he
would
giue
him
the
keies
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
that
all
that
he
sholde
bynde
and
vnbynde
in
earth
should
be
bound
and
vnbound
in
heauen
:
he
hath
not
spoken
of
giuing
the
keyes
to
the
other
Apostles
.
So
the
church
is
builded
vpon
the
faith
and
confession
of
S.
Peter
:
And
the
faith
which
is
the
seed
of
our
regeneration
is
called
the
faith
of
S.
Peter
:
Let
that
also
be
considered
which
is
spoken
of
in
S.
Luke
,
that
the
people
pressing
for
whom
only
he
paied
tribute
:
for
whom
only
in
particular
he
praied
to
his
father
,
to
the
end
his
faith
should
not
fayle
:
to
whom
onlie
he
gaue
charge
to
confirme
the
faith
of
his
bretheren
:
of
whom
,
as
head
of
others
,
he
did
require
more
loue
then
of
others
.
whose
feet
he
did
first
washe
accordng
to
S.
Augustin
:
to
whom
he
did
first
appeare
after
his
resurrection
:
to
whom
only
he
foretould
his
death
and
death
on
the
crosse
:
to
whom
onlie
he
said
three
tymes
feed
&
gouerne
my
sheepe
,
meaning
his
Church
:
whome
more
preciselie
than
others
he
commaunded
to
folowe
him
:
who
onlie
,
when
the
disciples
were
scandalized
at
the
wordes
of
our
sauiour
,
saying
that
he
wolde
giue
his
bodie
to
eate
,
answered
for
all
the
Apostles
,
and
sayd
:
Lorde
thow
hast
the
wordes
of
life
euerlastlng
,
and
we
beleeue
the
same
:
whom
onlie
among
all
the
disciples
our
sauiour
did
baptize
with
his
owne
handes

,
and
saying
to
him
,
that
he
would
be
glorified
by
his

within
the
citie
of

:
Let
it
be
further
considered
that
the

Finallie
let
it
be
considered
that
the
Church
hath
made
a
feast
,

dare
of
the

of
S.

to

But
in

the
prerogatiues

being
euident

it
is
superfluous

For
it
is
well

that

not

onlie

it

,
doth
hold
the

that
the

with
some
raskall
fugitiues
of
the
citie
of

coming
from

.
for
to
proue
by
them
that
he
was
bishop
of
Rome
&
successour
of
S.
Peter
,
but
these
companions
being
conuicted
of
this
falshood
were
confounded
and
made
ridiculous
.
The
Emperours
them selues
haue
acknowleged
the
bishop
of
Rome
to
be
head
of
the
vniuersal
Church
:
and
they
haue
called
him
,
Pastor
of
Pastors
,
father
of
fathers
,
and
the
toppe
of
the
crown
of
the
Clergie
.
And
that
so
publiklie
,
as
the
Paymin
Authors
make
mention
therof
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Amianus
Mancellinus
.
which
named
Pope
Liberius
souerain
Bishop
of
the
Christian
law
,
and
the
Emperour
Constance
caused
S.
Athanasius
Bishop
of
Alexandria
to
be
sent
to
the
same
Pope
,
of
purpose
to
cause
him
to
be
condemned
by
him
which
hath
the
soueraign
authoritie
ouer
the
Christians
.
Thus
by
these
testimonies
as
wel
of
the
Gospel
,
as
of
the
ancient
fathers
,
&
Councels
,
and
by
the
practise
of
the
Church
it selfe
,
sithens
the
Apostles
to
this
day
,
it
is
manifest
that
there
hath
bene
one
souerain
head
in
the
ministerie
of
the
Church
,
vicar
of
the
souerain
head
essential
,
Iesus

,
and
successor
of

,
in
that
vicareige
:

are

,
are
ioyned
as
members

12.
markes
,
of
the
true
church
,
That
is
to
say
,
1.
The
possession
&
propertie
of
the
name
Catholike
2.
The
succession
of
the
Apostolike
priesthood
,
3.
Antiquitie
,

:

The
Infelicitie
of

and

of

Protectours
:
12.
And
the
vnion
of
the
members
with
their
head
,
the
successour
of
S.
Peter
.
These
are
comprised
in
fower
woordes
of
the
Creed
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
that
she
is
one
,
Holy
:
Catholike
.
and
Apostolike
.
I
doe
not
enter
here
into
the
groundes
of
the
doctrin
of
the
Catholike
Church
;
The
principal
scope
of
this
present
treatise
,
was
onely
to
shew
that
out
of
the
Catholike
Church
,
man
can
not
be
saued
whatsoeuer
thing
he
doth
,
whereunto
I
haue
added
these
outeward
,
markes
,
the
which
without
farder
disputation
may
be
sufficient
to
euery
Christian
man
,
to
resolue
him selfe
,
touching
all
difficulties
whatsoeuer
,
for
all
the
controuersies
which
haue
bene
,
are
,
and
euer
shal
be
,
in
the
faith
,
doe
rest
therein
:
and
are
reduced
to
that
onely
head
,
to
finde
the
true
Church
.
Which
being
ones
found
,
a
man
is
out
of
all
hazard
and
peril
of
errour
.
For
all
agree
vpon
this
principle
,
that
there
is
but
one
Church
:
and
that
the
same
can
not
erre
,
being
(
as
saith
S.
Paul
)
The
piller
and
seur
grounde
of
truth
.
And
therefore
,
whosoeuer
shall
doubt
of
any
thing
,
(
as
of
Sacramentes
,
of
the
Inuocation
of
saincts
,
of
praying
for
the
dead
,
or
of
any
other
point
of
lerning
)
he
must
onely
marke
that
which
the
Church
doth
teach
thereof
,
and
then
,
therevpon
to
resolue
him selfe
more
assuredly
,
then
if
an
Angel
of
heauen
were
descended
expressely
,
to
informe
him
of
the
same
.
And
euery
other
congregation
which
shal
call
it selfe
the
church
teaching
the
contrary
,
must
needes
be
conuinced
of
falsehood
,
of
being
sent
from
sathan
,
of
heresie
,
and
of
impietie
.
All
the
markes
of
the
Catholike
Church
are
euidenly
found
in
the
Romain
Church
:
The
respect
of
the
name
Romain
,
is
not
to
the
town
of
Rome
but
the
to
chaire
of
S.
Peter
,
which
hath
that
highnes
of
glory
,
to
haue
bene
cheefely
and
especially
priuileged
by
the
prayer
and
promise
of
our
sauiour
,
who
prayed
for
S.
Peter
,
to
that
ende
that
his
faith
might
not
faile
:
and
founding
vpon
him
his
Church
,
hath
promised
vnto
him
that
the
proud
gates
of
hel
shall
neuer
preuail
against
her
,
as
in
fact
we
see
that
sathan
hath
ouercome
the
Churches
of
the
other
Apostles
,
and
ouerthrowen
their
chaire
,
In
Hierusalem
,
in
Alexandria
,
in
Ephesus
,
and
els
where
:
But
not
the
chaire
wherewith
S.
Peter
hath
innobled
the
citie
of
Rome
,
This
Church
is
onely
,
inuincible
,
insupplantable
,
immouable
from
her
foundation
:
It
is
she
that
hath
born
away
the
victory
of
the
whole
world
.
She
hath
destroyed
Paganisme
,
ouerthrowen
Idolatrie
,
expelled
al
heresies
,
tamid
kingdomes
&
Empires
,
ouercome
the
Philosophers
,
driuen
away
the
darkenes
of
the
world
,
&
hath
gained
to
god
all
men
of
good
will
.
She
hath
troden
down
,
and
always
shal
tread
down
the
head
of
sathan
:
She
hath
ben
euer
sithens
S.
Peter
,
an
obiect
vnto
the
world
very
apparant
,
as
a
mountain
of
understanding
,
A
burning
light
not
to
be
quenched
,
and
an
infallible
Pole
starre
,
directing
the
way
of
God
.
To
her
onely
in
the
troublesome
and
tempestous
sea
of
variable
opinions
of
men
,
we
must
haue
regard
.
She
is
the
quickening
plant
that
God
hath
planted
in
earth
,
hauing
her
Roote
in
heauen
:
Yt
is
not
possible
for
men
to
root
her
out
,
no
more
than
it
is
to
throw
downe
God
from
his
heauenlie
seat
,
vpon
whom
she
is
founded
.
All
the
heresies
of
the
world
haue
bent
them selues
against
that
Church
:
Titans
,
Hypocrites
,
and
euel
Christians
haue
assaulted
her
,
but
she
remaineth
victorious
,
ouer
all
her
enemies
,
not
by
the
merits
of
men
,
but
by
the
efficacie
of
that
prayer
which
our
sauiour
made
to
his
father
for
the
faith
of
S.
Peter
,
and
to
make
his
promise
effectuall
;
The
promises
of
the
truth
it selfe
can
not
be
vaine
.
Iesus
Christ
sayd
of
the
temple
of
Hierusalem
,
that
there
should
not
one
stone
remayne
vpon
an
other
:
and
so
it
came
to
passe
,
The
Iewes
edeuonred
them selues
with
might
and
maine
to
build
the
same
again
,
but
fier
came
from
heauen
and
placed
it self
in
the
foundations
,
for
to
hinder
their
intreprise
.
He
said
of
his
church
,
that
it
should
endure
as
long
as
the
world
shal
remain
,
And
men
doe
see
that
hither
to
she
remaneth
as
long
as
the
world
hath
indured
:
heauen
and
earth
shall
passe
,
but
the
woordes
of
our
Sauiour
shall
not
passe
;
Let
these
wicked
Spirites
,
heretikes
.
Schismatikes
,
Hypocrites
,
and
deuelishe
men
,
lay
their
embushes
,
conspire
,
make
warre
,
and
doe
all
they
can
against
that
Church
,
yet
shal
they
get
nothing
.
They
fight
against
the
prayer
and
promise
of
our
Sauiour
:
they
doe
fight
against
GOD
him selfe
.
The
deuils
haue
not
gotten
the
victory
in
heauen
against
the
Angels
,
neitheir
shall
they
get
it
in
earth
against
the
Church
:
Many
Angels
did
fall
,
many
members
of
the
Church
doe
fall
dayly
:
But
as
the
kingdom
of
Angels
was
neuer
wholly
ouerthrowen
,
so
the
whole
Church
shall
neuer
be
vanquished
.
Hel
may
shake
the
earth
,
but
not
the
heauens
.
The
Church
is
not
an
earthly
building
,
a
building
of
Adam
,
a
building
of
no
other
foundation
then
natural
:
It
is
an
heauenly
building
,
whollie
supernatural
and
diuine
,
whereof
,
not
man
,
but
God
him selfe
is
the
foundation
,
and
founder
:
and
the
holy
Ghost
is
the
Architect
which
hath
gathered
together
the
liuely
stones
:
This
building
is
not
made
of
men
borne
by
nature
,
as
the
children
of
Adam
;
but
of
men
made
heauenlie
,
regenerate
by
grace
,
as
the
children
of
God
.
Faith
which
is
the
bond
of
the
bodie
of
that
Church
,
is
aboue
the
heauen
,
the
obiect
of
that
faith
,
which
is
IESVS
:
Christ
,
Author
of
that
regeneration
,
doth
appertain
more
to
heauen
by
his
diuine
person
,
then
to
earth
by
that
humain
nature
.
Therefore
a
thowsand
hels
shal
neuer
be
able
to
preuaile
against
that
church
whosoeuer
thou
art
therfore
which
hast
separated
thy self
from
that
Church
,
what
so
euer
thing
thou
doest
,
thou
art
not
apparteining
to
IESVS
Christ
:
thou
art
a
member
of
sathan
and
a
pray
of
euerlasting
damnation
.
Goe
about
the
earth
and
the
see
,
trott
vp
and
downe
the
world
,
and
goe
where
thou
wilt
searching
the
truth
,
thou
shalt
not
find
the
same
out
of
this
Church
.
The
Church
Catholike
,
Apostolike
and
Romain
is
the
same
of
whom
doth
spring
&
rise
as
from
a
center
,
all
the
droctrine
of
Christianitie
;
the
chaire
of
S.
Peter
is
the
chaire
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
of
the
truth
it self
,
al
other
chaires
are
the
chaires
of
pestilence
.
Take
away
from
before
thy
eyes
those
clouds
of
euil
opinions
heaped
together
and
thickened
by
false
reportes
against
ecclesiasticall
persons
,
and
doe
hinder
the
to
see
the
truth
,
if
there
be
any
spottes
in
those
persons
which
be
sett
in
the
chaire
of
S.
Peter
,
it
must
needes
be
that
all
the
true
children
of
God
find
them selues
therby
inwardlie
wounded
,
and
praye
to
God
to
make
them
cleane
.
But
in
the
meane
time
what
so
euer
they
be
in
their
maners
,
those
are
particular
matters
personal
,
and
separated
from
the
chaire
,
which
is
a
dignitie
,
authoritie
and
matter
vniuersal
.
I
know
that
in
manie
ther
is
not
a
cromme
of
the
holines
of
S.
Peter
;
&
that
they
be
scandelouslie
gone
a
straie
from
the
life
Apostolike
,
but
they
teach
the
faith
of
S.
Peter
&
the
Apostolike
doctrine
.
Looke
not
then
vpon
the
faultes
of
the
persons
:
haue
regard
to
the
promise
and
to
the
prayer
of
our
sauiour
.
If
the
defectes
of
the
ministers
be
of
more
force
with
the
or
beare
more
swaie
with
the
,
for
to
alienate
the
from
the
church
,
than
the
reuerence
of
the
prayer
and
promesse
of
our
sauiour
,
to
kepe
the
there
;
thow
art
vnwoorthie
of
any
other
prayer
and
promesse
of
our
sauiour
.
The
chaire
of
S.
Peter
is
the
maistresse
of
the
faith
:
I
wold
that
she
were
also
the
example
of
holie
life
.
But
what
so
euer
scandal
there
hath
bene
in
some
,
thou
shalt
find
others
in
the
priesthood
and
people
,
that
better
know
the
faults
wherin
they
are
,
then
thei
self
:
more
learned
also
,
and
lesse
reprocheable
in
their
maners
,
and
in
all
pointes
lesse
imperfect
then
they
self
:
and
are
in
ioye
and
in
peace
of
their
conscience
in
this
Church
.
There
they
receiue
the
sacraments
of
life
euerlasting
they
exercise
the
workes
of
charitie
,
and
there
attend
the
iudgement
of
God
.
Doe
not
say
apart
to
thy selfe
that
thou
doest
worshippe
Iesus
Christ
;
that
thou
doest
beleeue
the
Gospel
;
and
that
thou
doest
resolue
thy self
according
to
the
expresse
word
of
God
;
euen
so
sayd
Arrius
,
Manicheus
,
Pelagius
,
and
all
the
auncient
heretikes
:
Thou
doest
not
worship
Iesus
:
It
is
thy
imagination
and
thy
particular
fansie
(
wherof
thou
doest
make
an
Idol
)
which
thou
doest
worshipe
:
Thou
doest
bowe
thy self
downe
before
the
woord
of
the
deceiuer
that
hath
seduced
the
;
&
not
before
the
woord
of
God
:
That
which
the
Church
doth
teach
,
is
the
expresse
woord
of
God
:
That
which
the
heretike
doth
teach
,
is
the
expresse
woord
of
the
deuil
,
which
doth
vsurp
the
iudgement
of
the
expresse
woord
of
God
,
and
doth
vse
the
same
for
a
baite
,
to
make
the
swallow
vp
the
hooke
of
error
.
This
now
is
the
verie
greatest
of
al
synnes
,
for
wheras
al
that
a
man
may
say
of
the
formalitie
of
sinne
,
it
is
no
other
thing
but
the
turning
away
and
goyng
farre
of
from
God
,
There
is
no
crime
which
seperateth
more
from
God
,
than
heresie
:
and
there
is
not
a
sinner
that
Iesus
Christ
doth
hate
so
much
,
as
the
heretike
.
The
sinnes
of
workes
,
Adulterie
,
Meslanghter
,
couetousnes
and
other
,
doe
depriue
men
of
the
grace
of
God
,
but
thei
doe
not
driue
a
man
from
the
Church
,
neither
doe
they
cut
away
the
roote
of
life
which
is
the
faith
by
the
which
a
man
may
find
the
way
to
enter
againe
into
grace
:
but
heresie
doth
not
onlie
take
away
grace
,
but
doth
also
cut
away
the
root
of
life
,
&
doth
depriue
men
of
the
participation
of
all
good
things
that
be
in
the
church
.
The
scripture
sayth
:
that
faith
is
the
substance
of
thinges
to
hoped
for
:
that
without
faith
,
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
:
that
the
iuste
of
God
do
liue
by
faith
:
that
is
to
say
breflie
,
that
faith
is
the
foundation
of
all
Christian
building
.
Now
heresie
doth
take
awaie
from
vs
faith
;
then
onlie
heresie
is
a
sufficient
cause
why
the
heretike
can
neuer
wel
ground
his
hope
,
can
neuer
doe
worke
agreable
to
God
,
nor
can
neuer
haue
the
life
of
the
iust
of
God
.
The
other
sinnes
be
as
a
tyle
taken
from
the
couerture
,
or
as
a
stone
drawen
from
the
wall
,
which
doth
much
hurt
to
the
building
:
But
heresie
is
as
it
were
the
vndermyning
of
the
foundation
,
which
doth
destroye
the
whole
building
.
To
be
short
,
this
kinde
of
argument
is
plaine
and
verie
true
,
that
no
man
can
saue
him selfe
without
the
Sacraments
of
the
Church
:
The
Sacraments
be
not
administred
but
by
the
priest
,
the
priestes
be
not
made
but
by
the
Bishoppes
,
Bishoppes
be
not
made
but
in
the
Romain
Church
,
then
what
so
euer
thing
that
man
doth
,
it
is
impossible
by
all
impossibilitie
to
saue
him self
out
of
the
Catholike
,
Apostolike
and
Romain
Church
.
Doe
not
resist
thees
arguments
:
the
more
thou
doest
enforce
they
self
to
auoide
them
by
euasions
,
so
many
more
halters
doest
thou
put
about
thine
owne
neck
,
&
smitest
the
axe
in
to
thine
owne
foot
:
And
what
so
euer
thy
tounge
doth
speake
to
the
contrarie
,
thy
soule
doth
fight
against
the
:
and
thy
conscience
shal
neuer
be
in
rest
,
as
longe
as
thou
shalt
be
in
heresie
.
And
S.
Hierom
vpon
those
words
of
S.
Paul
;
Hier.
in
epi.
ad
Tit.
c.
3.
that
an
heretike
is
subuerted
and
condemned
by
his
owne
proper
iugement
,
sayth
verie
wel
thus
,
the
fornicator
,
the
adulterer
,
the
manslaer
and
other
euil
doers
,
be
driuen
out
of
the
Church
against
their
willes
by
the
priestes
:
But
the
heretikes
of
them selues
,
without
constraint
do
depriue
them selues
of
the
Sacraments
of
saluation
,
and
of
all
the
good
things
which
be
in
the
Church
,
damning
them selues
wittinglie
,
and
throwing
them selues
downe
hedlonge
from
their
proper
fredome
,
in
to
the
bottomlesse
pitt
of
euerlasting
perdition
.
For
conclusion
I
will
exhort
the
,
as
the
Angels
of
God
did
exhort
the
handmaide
Agar
,
that
was
departed
with
her
sonne
from
the
house
of
Abraham
,
whom
to
bring
home
again
,
finding
her
in
the
wildernes
taking
the
waie
towardes
Aegipt
,
he
saied
to
her
:
poore
il
aduised
Agar
,
seruant
of
Sara
,
from
whence
comest
thou
?
and
whether
goest
thou
?
tourne
again
to
thy
maistres
,
and
humble
thy self
vnder
her
hand
:
as
if
he
wold
say
,
thinke
on
thy
estate
,
that
thou
comest
from
a
noble
house
,
riche
,
ful
of
the
blessings
of
God
:
that
thou
goest
to
cast
thy self
as
a
strayed
sheepe
into
the
throte
of
the
woolf
,
in
the
land
of
malediction
:
And
all
these
things
well
thought
on
,
turne
again
to
thy
maistres
:
and
humbling
thy self
vnder
her
hand
,
thou
shalt
be
happie
in
that
house
.
Euen
so
will
I
say
to
euerie
heretike
,
thinke
that
thou
comest
from
the
house
of
the
lyuing
God
,
which
is
the
Catholike
,
Apostolike
,
&
Romaine
Church
,
in
the
which
onlie
is
the
grace
of
Iesus
Christ
and
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
all
blessings
of
God
:
and
thou
goest
in
to
the
sect
of
a
deceiuer
,
which
is
one
particuler
man
,
by
whose
mouth
sathan
hauing
diuided
the
from
the
bodie
of
the
only
Church
,
it
must
neds
folow
that
thou
fall
in
to
the
bottomlesse
pitt
of
heresie
,
which
is
the
bottomlesse
pitt
of
death
and
euerlasting
damnation
.
Take
then
the
exhortation
of
the
Angel
,
comforter
of
Agar
,
if
not
,
thou
shalt
soone
mete
an
other
Angel
which
shal
be
thy
destroyer
.
SO
BE
IT
.
