TO
HIS
WORTHILIE
RESPECTED
KINDE

,
Master
George
Gibson
,
Citizen
and
Marchant
Taylor
of
London
.
IN
regard
of
your
many
kindnesses
,
and
no
other
meanes
remaining
in
mee
of
requitall
,
except
such
as
my
condition
alloweth
:
I
send
you
this
small
labour
of
mine
,
being
the
seuerall
conuersions
of
foure
learned
men
,
from
Popish
errour
and
blinde
superstition
.
The
fame
of
them
hath
beene
farre
extended
,
in
regard
of
the
learned
handling
of
each
discourse
:
which
,
vpon
consideration
,
I
am
sure
good
iudgements
both
haue
,
and
will
confesse
no
lesse
.
I
desire
you
to
accept
my
good
will
,
and
burie
all
defects
in
the
honestie
of
mine
intent
toward
you
,
till
better
occasion
may
afford
me
a
larger

of

on
your

discouered

wanting
leasure

I
hope
within

A
PROFESSION
OF
FAITH
,
MADE
IN
THE
reformed
Church
of
MAVNS
,
the
sixt
day
of
Ianuary
,
1603.
by
Master
IOHN
LE
VAGER
,
sometimes
a
Priest
in
the
Church
of
Rome
.
AS
it
is
vndoubtedly
true
,
that
God
most
powerfully
(
by
his
infinite
goodnesse
)
hath
called
vs
all
to
the
knowledge
of
his
holy
name
,
to
be
his
people
and
his
Church
,
whereon
only
he
hath
bestowed
the
treasures
of
his
mercies
,
and
out
of
which
there
is
no
saluation
at
all
:
so
certainly
,
if
wee
be
desirous
of
this
goodnesse
,
and
would
participate
of
his
blessings
and
mercies
,
it
behooueth
vs
to
trauaile
and
study
,
in
the
search
of
this
Church
,
to
ioyne
and
incorporate
our selues
into
the
same
.
And
therefore
let
vs
not
imitate
the
heretique
EVTICHVS
,
who
saide
;
That
as
he
had
learned
of
his
Fathers
,
and
beleeued
in
the
Faith
wherein
he
was
borne
,
euen
so
hee
desired
to
dye
.
Or
as
AVXENTIVS
the
Arrian
,
who
said
:
That
as
he
had
learned
from
his
infancie
,
so
hee
beleeued
,
and
would
doe
still
.
Or
as
the
Iewes
,
thus
speaking
to
Ieremie
:
Wee
and
our
Fathers
haue
done
thus
.
Or
as
our
aduersaries
Ezechiel
:
Walke
not
yee
in
the
ordinances
of
your
Fathers
,
neither
obserue
their
waies
,
nor
defile
your selues
with
their
Idols
.
I
am
the
Lord
your
God
,
walke
in
my
Statutes
,
and
keepe
my
iudgements
,
and
doe
them
.
Search
the
Scriptures
,
saith
our
S.
Matthew
also
,
foretelling
vs
of
the
euil
times
which
now
are
come
vpon
vs
,
he
doth
aduertise
vs
,
that
there
shall
be
a
desolation
and
reuolt
in
his
Church
,
and
that
many
false
Prophets
shall
arise
,
who
shall
come
disguised
in
sheepes
cloathing
:
as
now
adaies
wee
see
the
like
doone
,
by
our
Monkes
,
Capuchines
and
Iesuites
,
who
disguise
themselues
in
habits
of
simplicitie
,
of
pouerty
,
of
sanctitie
&
humilitie
,
and
leaue
their
owne
common
garments
,
the
better
to
seduce
&
beguile
poore
simple
people
,
who
suffer
thēseues
willingly
to
be
led
,
by
their
outward
appearances
,
according
to
the
example
of
the
ancient
hypocritical
Pharisies
,
with
their
Philacteries
and
outward
ceremonies
.
We
haue
a
further
admonition
yet
,
that
when
wee
see
this
Heere
is
Christ
;
others
,
there
is
Christ
,
as
these
dissemblers
now
vse
to
doe
,
saying
:
He
is
heere
vnder
the
Cabinet
,
in
our
faire
guilded
Temples
,
where
he
yet
workes
strange
miracles
.
See
heer
the
Iewes
that
we
should
fly
to
the
mountaines
.
By
which
mountaines
,
he
insinuateth
vnto
vs
,
that
we
should
withdrawe
,
&
make
diligent
search
in
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
on
the
foundations
whereof
hee
hath
builded
his
Church
.
So
doth
saint
Iohn
Chrysostome
instruct
,
speaking
vpon
that
place
,
When
yee
shal
see
the
abhomination
of
desolation
,
standing
in
the
holy
place
:
the
Lord
commandeth
vs
(
saith
he
)
Chrisost.
in
opere
imperfect
.
that
al
Christians
,
such
as
desire
to
holde
a
firmnesse
in
true
faith
should
retyre
themselues
to
the
holy
Scriptures
:
for
if
they
goe
to
any
place
else
,
they
will
be
scandalized
and
perish
,
as
not
vnderstanding
what
the
true
Church
is
,
and
so
may
easily
fall
into
the
abhomination
of
desolation
,
crept
into
the
holy
places
of
the
Church
.
Origen
in
like
manner
saith
,
Those
soules
that
are
ignorant
of
the
word
of
trueth
and
iustice
,
and
by
that
occasion
are
easily
seduced
,
cannot
abide
without
seduction
,
at
the
verie
sight
of
the
abhomination
of
desolation
,
in
the
holy
place
.
Saint
Hierome
likewise
saith
,
At
the
comming
of
the
Messias
,
the
people
that
had
slept
vnder
their
teachers
enstructions
,
went
to
the
mountains
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
there
found
the
old
mountaines
,
the
mountaines
of
the
Prophets
,
and
the
mountaines
of
the
new
Testament
.
And
euen
as
flesh
and
bloud
hath
not
reuealed
Iesus
Christ
vnto
vs
,
but
the
Father
which
is
in
heauen
:
so
ought
wee
not
to
seeke
for
his
Church
,
according
to
our
corporal
sense
,
but
with
the
eyes
of
faith
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
wherein
God
himselfe
speakes
vnto
vs
,
and
teacheth
vs
the
will
and
league
hee
hath
made
with
his
people
,
which
wee
shoulde
alwaies
haue
before
our
eyes
,
on
our
foreheades
,
and
in
our
handes
,
to
meditate
thereon
both
day
and
night
,
to
accomplish
the
same
on
our
behalfe
.
As
concerning
my selfe
,
I
acknowledge
and
confesse
,
that
I
haue
beene
trained
vp
in
the
Romane
Church
,
and
haue
followed
the
errours
and
superstitions
therein
vsed
:
being
caried
S.
Iohn
in
his
Apocalipse
,
where
he
at
large
describeth
Antichrist
Now
in
this
perplexitie
,
in
this
conflict
of
opinions
,
which
we
daily
see
about
the
matter
of
Religion
:
according
to
the
commandement
of
God
,
I
consulted
with
the
diuine
Oracle
,
and
withdrewe
my selfe
to
the
mountaines
of
holy
Scripture
.
By
whose
testimonie
,
Iesus
Christ
repulsed
the
Tempter
,
and
confirmed
his
Apostles
after
his
resurrection
.
By
them
,
our
Fathers
stoned
all
heretiques
,
and
(
besides
them
)
whatsoeuer
is
spoken
,
is
heresie
and
execration
,
although
it
be
an
Angell
that
God
will
haue
obedience
by
them
,
and
not
sacrifice
.
Hee
will
not
be
serued
,
according
to
the
commandement
and
traditions
of
men
.
He
acknowledgeth
them
to
be
his
,
that
abide
in
his
worde
.
He
tels
vs
also
,
that
such
as
are
of
his
flocke
,
doe
heare
his
voice
and
knowe
it
,
and
will
not
listen
to
a
strangers
.
See
heere
the
infallible
markes
of
the
true
Church
indeed
.
But
the
Church
of
Rome
,
in
steede
of
listening
to
this
word
,
and
obeying
it
,
in
Ierusalem
:
How
is
the
faithfull
citie
become
an
harlot
?
She
was
full
of
equitie
,
and
iustice
lodged
in
her
:
her
gold
is
turned
into
drosse
,
and
her
wine
is
mingled
with
water
.
And
first
of
all
,
for
example
,
she
will
needes
haue
Idols
and
which
is
in
heauen
aboue
,
neither
in
the
earth
beneath
,
nor
in
the
waters
below
,
to
serue
or
worship
them
.
And
so
themselues
doe
cut
their
owne
throats
;
for
they
say
,
that
the
Image
which
they
place
in
their
Temple
,
is
the
similitude
of
that
same
partie
in
heauen
aboue
.
And
if
there
be
any
difference
betweene
Idoll
and
Image
,
an
Image
is
for
ornament
represented
in
an
history
:
an
Idoll
,
that
which
is
proposed
in
the
Temple
to
bee
worshipped
,
euen
as
their
pretended
Images
are

That
the
Image
ought
to
be
honoured
with
the
selfe
same
adoration
,
as
the
partie
that
it
representeth
.
And
in
the
booke
tearmed
Decisiones
He
answers
plainely
no
;
for
it
is
exposed
there
to
publick
sale
:
but
in
the
Temple
it
is
placed
to
be
worshipped
;
and
the
selfe
same
instruction
is
giuen
,
by
the
C.
venerabiles
de
Cons.
dist.

Vpon
the
aforesaid
holy
mountaines
,
we
finde
but
one
God
onely
,
to
call
vpon
in
our
afflictions
and
necessities
;
And
Iesus
Christ
himselfe
saith
vnto
vs
;
Come
vnto
me
all
yee
that
are
wearie
and
heauie
laden
,
and
I
will
ease
you
.
The
Church
of
I
wil
not
impart
my
glorie
to
any
other
:
yet
dare
they
communicate
,
to
all
such
Saints
as
themselues
haue
canonized
,
the
office
of
an
intercessour
or
mediatour
betweene
God
and
vs
,
which
office
is
onely
proper
to
Christ
,
and
dependeth
vpon
his
eternall
sacrifice
made
.
For
as
Saint
Paule
saith
:
He
is
entred
into
very
heauen
,
to
appeare
now
in
the
sight
of
God
for
vs
.
If
any
sinne
(
saith
Iohn
)
we
haue
an
Aduocate
with
the
Father
,
euen
Iesus
Christ
the
Iust
.
In
like
manner
,
Iesus
Christ
,
by
one
onely
sacrifice
,
made
once
vpon
the
Crosse
,
hath
abolished
the
sinnes
of
all
beleeuers
for
euer
:
so
that
there
is
no
further
neede
of
sacrificing
,
being
once
made
thus
perfectly
.
But
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
if
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
were
imperfect
and
insufficient
,
hath
ordained
another
,
for
remission
of
sinnes
both
to
the
dead
and
Thou
art
a
Priest
eternally
for
euer
,
after
the
order
of
And
so
in
other
points
of

Religion
,
the
Church
of
Rome
hath
wholly
peruerted
them
,
namely
in
Christs
institution
of
his
This
is
my
bodie
,
to
the
end
we
might
thereby
(
This
is
my
body
)
for
the
bread
was
then
no
more
bread
:
but
fantastically
forge
certaine
accidents
without
substance
,
of
indiuidua
vaga
;
and
say
,
that
that
is
the
true
bodie
of
Christ
,
which
descended
into
the
bowels
of
the
S.
Thomas
,
and
other
Scholasticks
,
beside
a
thousand
other
blasphemies
.
They
say
also
,
that
this
proposition
(
that
the
bread
is
the
bodie
of
Christ
)
is
hereticall
,
and
S.
Augustine
That
the
bread
is
the
bodie
of
Iesus
Christ
in
the
sacrament
.
And
by
consequent
also
,
Christ
himselfe
should
be
an
heretique
too
,
who
saith
in
Saint
Iohn
:
The
bread
that
I
will
giue
you
is
my
flesh
.
Thus
make
they
God
imperfect
in
power
,
because
it
is
impossible
,
that
two
bodies
shoulde
bee
in
one selfe
same
place
,
as
they
say
.
I
will
rehearse
vnto
yee
,
how
the
saide
Church
of
Rome
,
hath
gotten
together
all
the
auncient
heresies
:
as
that
of
Montanus
,
deuouring
widowes
houses
,
vnder
pretext
of
long
praying
,
according
as
Christ
reproued
the
hypocriticall
Scribes
.
Of
whome
S.
Augustine
writeth
,
that
they
pray
so
long
,
as
it
is
incredible
to
them
that
heare
them
recount
them
.
And
they
say
,
that
it
is
not
lawfull
for
Monks
,
to
labour
for
their
owne
sustenance
,
but
commend
their
idlenesse
,
and
repute
them
thereby
to
be
preseruers
and
keepers
of
the
Gospell
.
And
Theodoret
speaking
of
them
,
saith
:
that
Failing
at
prayers
,
they
sleepe
the
greater
part
of
the
day
,
and
so
are
allowed
to
doe
:

whereof
,
was
one

Also
,
to
compell
his
vnderlings
,
to
the
obseruation
of
his
lawes
,
which
hee
prizeth
more
then
the
word
of
God
,
as
it
is
to
bee
seene
in

And
for
the
transgression
of
his
lawes
and
commandements
,
to
be
burned
aliue
,
as
we
haue
seene
many
,
for
eating
flesh
on
a
day
by
him
forbidden
:
but
for
blaspheming
the
name
of
God
,
or
whordome
,
there
needs
no
more
but
a
little
holy
water
,
one
Pater
noster
and
one
Aue
Maria
,
to
wash
away
the
guilt
of
that
offence
.
Now
by
the
cariage
of
himselfe
in
this
manner
,
hee
cannot
be
Apostolique
,
as
he
vaunts
of
himselfe
,
nor
yet
the
successour
of
Saint
Peter
:
for
doubtlesse
he
sits
not
in
Saint
Peters
chaire
,
that
neither
holdeth
nor
confesseth
the
doctrine
,
preached
by
Saint
Peter
and
the
other
Apostles
,
who
neuer
were
Law-makers
in
the
Church
of
God
.
For
there
is
but
one
Law-giuer
,
which
is
God
.
But
there
haue
beene
Ambassadors
and
interpreters
,
That
we
may
be
esteemed
as
the
ministers
of
Christ
,
dispensers
of
the
secrets
of
God
.
Goe
and
teach
all
nations
,
baptizing
them
in
the
name
of
the
Father
,
and
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holie
Ghost
,
teaching
them
to
obserue
all
things
whatsoeuer
I
commaunded
you
.
He
gaue
them
then
no
power
,
to
make
newe
lawes
,
as
the
Pope
licenseth
his
men
to
doe
.
I
am
not
willing
to
extend
this
discourse
any
further
,
because
I
knowe
it
hath
alreadie
beene
amply
entreated
on
,
by
verie
learned
men
of
these
times
:
but
will
conclude
,
that
since
he
is
not
obedient
to
the
Gospell
,
but
puts
in
place
thereof
other
doctrines
and
Gospels
,
that
he
can
bee
no
other
,
but
euen
hee
of
whome
saint
Paule
foretolde
,
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Thessalonians
,
and
as
hee
is
described
by
saint
Iohn
in
his
Apocalipse
.
And
so
consequently
,
his
Church
,
wherof
he
tearms
himselfe
to
be
the
spouse
and
head
,
is
not
that
Church
,
out
of
which
there
is
no
saluation
,
and
whereto
are
made
such
gratious
promises
;
but
rather
it
is
the
true
Babylon
,
out
of
which
we
are
commanded
to
depart
,
if
wee
will
not
partake
in
her
abhominations
Which
I
haue
done
,
according
to
my
duety
,
and
the
desire
And
we
say
with
TERTVLLIAN
,
to
them
of
the
Romish
That
they
must
shew
their
doctrin
,
written
in
those
canonicall
bookes
,
or
else
let
them
expect
that
malediction
to
fal
vpon
their
heads
,
due
to
such
as
eyther
adde
or
diminish
from
that
doctrine
.
For
as
for
other
mens
traditions
,
whereon
their
Church
is
grounded
,
and
not
vpon
the
Apostles
foundation
,
nor
the
holy
mountaines
of
sacred
Scriptures
:
those
traditions
are
falsly
called
Apostolicall
,
as
Nicephorus
,
whom
they
haue
among
God
open
their
eyes
,
by
the
illumination
of
his
holy
spirit
,
that
they
may
see
the
brightnesse
of
his
Gospell
,
to
betake
themselues
to
the
aforesaide
mountaines
,
whereon
the
true
Church
is
builded
,
and
to
reforme
their
doctrine
,
which
is
to
the
contrary
.
Giue
vs
also
his
grace
,
to
perseuer
in

AS

are
not

they

laide

til
by

workemen
,
they
be
disposed
and
made
meete
,
each
one
to
serue
in
his
due
ranke
or
place
:
Euen
so
our
Lord
God
,
doth
not
gather
his
elect
,
of
whome
he
buildeth
and
erecteth
his
Church
,
all
at
one
instant
time
or
season
,
but
according
as
his
prouidence
and
predestination
hath
concluded
in
his
eternal
counsell
,
and
purposed
for
accomplishment
therof
,
in
&
at
al
times
.
He
cals
one
while
some
,
at
other
seasons
others
,
and
day
by
day
(
by
his
blessed
spirit
)
of
rude
and
vnapt
members
,
he
fashioneth
and
disposeth
them
,
to
enter
into
the
building
of
his
sacred
Temple
:
whereof
his
dearely
beloued
sonne
is
not
onely
the
foundation
,
whereon
it
is
builded
,
but
also
the
master
and
corner
stone
,
knitting
together
the
two
walles
of
the
seuerall
people
,
Iewes
and
Gentiles
,
into
one
sole
building
,
which
is
his
true
Church
.
It
is
now
twelue
yeares
and
more
,
since
it
pleased
God
to
beginne
,
to
make
mee
listen
to
his
inward
calling
,
which
from
one
day
to
another
he
confirmed
to
mee
by
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
whereby
continually
hee
solicited
mee
,
to
come
out
of
Babylon
,
and
enter
into
his
celestial
Sion
.
But
vntil
this
instant
,
there
ensued
many
repugnancies
on
mine
owne
behalfe
,
taking
it
not
to
be
expedient
for
my
saluation
:
for
an
infinite
number
of
humane
considerations
,
and
vaine
scruples
opposed
themselues
against
my
desire
,
presuming
to
counterchecke
those
iust
reasons
,
which
the
spirit
of
God
suggested
to
mee
;
and
euen
like
dreadfull
Gyants
,
or
furious
monsters
,
guarding
the
prison
gate
wherein
I
was
enclosed
,
gaue
me
many
great
apprehensions
,
and
still
continued
me
in
the
terrible
assaults
,
euen
when
I
best
hoped
to
escape
away
from
them
.
But
in
the
end
,
it
pleased
the
mercy
of
him
(
who
deigned
to
chuse
me
among
the
number
of
his
liuing
stones
,
for
entrance
into
the
building
of
his
sanctuarie
,
)
by
little
and
little
to
free
mee
from
those
feares
,
by
assuring
my
courage
,
arming
me
with
his
grace
,
and
furnishing
me
with
stones
to
beate
downe
the
one
,
and
with
weapons
to
cut
off
the
heades
of
the
others
.
So
that
now
(
by
the
meanes
of
his
ayde
and
fauour
)
I
see
mine
enemies
cofounded
,
my
prison
doore
opened
,
and
the
way
laide
wide
open
for
mee
,
to
enter
into
the
house
of
my
father
.
Further
assuring
me
,
that
albeit
I
haue
greatly
prouoked
his
anger
,
in
so
long
time
of
abusing
his
graces
for
mine
enlargement
,
and
therefore
I
shewed
my selfe
the
more
vnworthy
,
to
beare
the
title
of
his
sonne
:
yet
that
he
is
so
pittifull
,
as
he
will
be
mooued
in
compassion
towards
mee
,
and
allow
for
acceptable
,
the
repentance
wherewith
he
hath
touched
my
heart
;
and
so
,
if
not
as
a
sonne
;
yet
to
receiue
me
into
his
house
as
one
of
his
seruants
.
For
now
I
will
take
no
more
delight
in
those
spirituall
brothelries
:
the
pure
chastitie
of
his
vndoubted
Church
hath
inuited
and
drawne
me
to
her
communion
.
I
will
now
swallow
no
more
of
those
bitter-sweete
baites
,
which
haue
so
long
time
abused
my
taste
,
as
now
appeareth
by
this
contrarie
heauenly
sauour
.
I
desire
in
the
company
of
the
Children
of
God
,
to
feede
on
liuing
bread
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
The
Onions
,
Leekes
and
Garlike
of
Aegypt
,
haue
seemed
most
odious
and
stinking
to
me
,
since
I
tasted
of
the
celestiall
Manna
,
which
the
heauens
haue
rained
downe
vpon
vs
.
Too
long
haue
I
suckt
the
putrified
and
venemous
blood
,
issuing
from
the
impure
dugges
of
that
cruell
woman
,
made
drunke
with
the
bloode
of
the
Martyres
,
Apoc.

High
time
was
it
therefore
,
to
relish
now
(
hence
forward
)
the
sweete
milke
,
distilling
from
the
pure
pappes
of
our
dearest
mother
.
Too
long
time
hath
the
deadly
cup
of
abhominations
,
deliuered
daily
abroad
by
that
horrid
strumpet
,
beene
ouerlauishly
quaffed
on
:
now
therefore
it
behooueth
the
more
carefully
,
to
experiment
the
sweete
liquour
of
life
,
in
the
Cuppe
presented
to
vs
by
the
modest
spouse
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Hauing
then
hitherto
borne
the
heauie
burden
,
which
the
tyranny
of
Antichriste
charged
my
shoulders
withall
,
I
holde
it
reasonable
,
since
it
hath
pleased
God
so
gratiously
to
deliuer
me
:
that
all
the
rest
of
my
life
should
be
imployed
thus
,
to
lay
my
neck
vnder
the
sweete
and
pleasing
yoake
,
of
the
iust
rule
and
gouernment
,
belonging
to
my
legitimate
and
Soueraigne
king
.
And
my
tongue
also
,
which
heretofore
hath
beene
loose
,
&
vnbound
to
blasphemies
,
as
also
the
preaching
of
dreames
and
lyes
:
shall
henceforth
doe
his
office
,
in
singing
the
maruels
of
my
God
,
to
blesse
his
holie
name
,
in
the
congregation
of
his
Saints
,
to
preach
his
worde
,
for
the
edification
of
his
Church
,
(
if
it
stand
with
his
good
pleasure
,
to
render
mee
worthy
and
capable
thereof
)
and
also
to
giue
him
thankes
,
for
that
it
hath
pleased
him
(
after
hee
gaue
me
knowledge
of
his
trueth
)
to
deliuer
me
out
of
the
denne
of
Lyons
,
&
lodge
mee
in
the
fold
among
his
owne
flocks
.
Moreouer
,
to
craue
pardon
of
him
,
for
my
hainous
transgressions
committed
,
in
that
since
the
time
when
hee
gaue
me
a
taste
of
his
truth
,
I
stoode
out
like
a
Rebell
to
the
light
thereof
,
resisting
the
blessed
Spirit
,
and
deferring
ouer-long
the
time
of
my
conuersion
.
But
to
the
end
,
that
such
as
haue
hitherto
heere
held
mee
for
a
member
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
may
not
preiudicately
conceiue
,
that
I
haue
thence
dismembred
or
cut
off
my selfe
lightly
,
and
without
a
great
reason
or
subiect
:
it
is
expedient
,
that
I
deliuer
the
principall
cause
which
heerunto
hath
moued
me
,
and
that
is
nothing
else
but
this
sole
reason
;
That
out
of
the
Church
of
God
there
is
no
saluation
.
For
euen
as
during
the
time
of
the
Deluge
,
all
those
men
that
found
themselues
to
bee
out
of
Noahs
Arke
,
were
drowned
:
euen
so
,
all
they
that
are
out
of
the
Church
shall
perish
,
and
no
one
person
shall
obtaine
the
eternall
inheritance
,
if
first
of
all
he
haue
not
God
for
his
Father
,
and
there
is
no
man
can
haue
him
for
his
Father
,
except
he
haue
the
Church
for
his
Mother
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
spirit
of
God
hath
giuen
mee
to
knowe
,
that
the
Church
of
Rome
is
not
his
Church
,
but
only
this
the
true
reformed
Church
:
desiring
to
bee
saued
,
I
haue
quitted
the
one
,
to
enter
into
the
bosome
of
the
other
.
And
although
I
can
by
many
reasons
approue
and
clearely
shewe
,
that
the
Church
of
Rome
is
not
the
Church
of
God
:
yet
for
auoyding
of
prolixitie
,
I
will
produce
but
three
onely
,
the
verie
least
whereof
,
is
sufficient
to
perswade
mee
vndoubtedly
,
and
all
such
as
are
endued
with
the
vnction
which
teacheth
all
thinges
,
that
that
Church
can
not
any
way
bee
it
.
The
first
is
,
that
euery
congregation
which
abolisheth
the
commaundementes
of
God
,
to
establish
other
that
are
contrarie
to
them
:
doth
(
by
this
meanes
)
breake
the
affinitie
which
it
had
with
God
,
and
forsaking
the
same
,
can
no
way
bee
the
Church
of
God
.
The
Church
of
Rome
hath
abrogated
or
abolished
the
commaundements
of
God
,
and
hath
established
others
quite
contrarie
to
them
:
by
which
meanes
she
hath
broken
the
band
of
alliance
with
God
,
and
so
forsaken
God
.
It
ensueth
then
,
that
it
cannot
be
the
Church
of
God
.
Now
for
better
iustifying
the
minor
of
this
argument
,
wee
neede
to
regarde
nothing
else
,
but
what
God
hath
required
of
a
Church
,
for
approbation
to
bee
his
,
by
the
two
first
commandements
of
the
Lawe
.
For
the
first
,
he
will
bee
knowne
of
her
to
bee
God
onely
,
and
as
such
a
one
to
bee
serued
,
honoured
and
adored
,
forbidding
to
haue
any
other
Gods
before
him
,
or
to
giue
them
any
part
of
his
glorie
.

The
Church
of
Rome
hath
so
farre
failed
in
the
keeping
of
this
commaundement
,
as
shee
hath
altogether
practised
the
contrarie
,
receiuing
an
innumerable
multitude
of
Gods
,
vnder
the
name
of
Saints
by
the
Pope
Canonized
:
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
Deified
,
and
to
them
hath
attributed
and
rendered
,
the
selfe
same
honour
,
seruice
and
adoration
,
which
onely
ought
for
GOD
to
bee
reserued
.
For
shee
inuokes
and
calles
vpon
them
,
makes
vowes
to
them
,
buildes
Temples
to
them
,
erectes
Altars
,
ordaines
feastes
,
celebrates
diuine
honour
and
seruice
to
them
;
all
which
thinges
doe
appertaine
to
none
but
God
onely
.
And
shee
is
not
contented
,
to
forge
straunge
Gods
in
this
maner
,
of
the
Saints
soules
,
whome
they
beleeue
to
bee
in
heauen
(
although
a
great
number
of
them
,
helde
by
her
for
Saintes
,
may
bee
buried
in
hell
)
but
shee
delves
into
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
and
opens
Sepulchers
,
where
their
supposed
bodies
are
interred
,
to
make
her
newe
Gods
of
their
bones
,
of
their
hayre
,
of
their
habites
,
and
other
such
like
trashe
,
which
shee
hath
caused
to
bee
enchased
into
golde
and
siluer
,
and
so
set
vpon
Altares
,
or
caried
about
on
their
shoulders
in
processions
,
and
make
the
people
to
kisse
them
vpon
their
knees
.
Wherein
assuredly
shee
hath
exceeded
the
Iewes
,
who
albeit
they
were
maruellously
enclined
to
the
forging
of
straunge
Gods
:
yet
were
they
neuer
so
brutish
,
as
to
canonize
the
holy
Prophets
,
neither
to
giue
any
honour
to
the
bones
of
deade
men
,
for
what
sanctitie
soeuer
they
might
haue
beene
commended
in
their
liues
.
Perhaps
they
builded
goodly
Sepulchers
,
to
honour
their
memorie
:
but
they
neuer
did
any
religious
seruice
to
them
.
The
bones
of
Eliseus
might
haue
prophecied
after
his
death
;
if
by
their
touch
a
deade
bodie
had
beene
raised
:
yet
all
the
honour
done
to
them
,
was
to
couer
them
with
earth
,
there
to
awaite
the
sound
of
the
Trumpet
,
when
the
soule
which
before
had
giuen
life
to
them
,
shoulde
returne
againe
to
reinuest
them
.
If
she
haue
showen
her selfe
impious
and
ridiculous
,
in
these
matters
already
recyted
,
then
well
may
she
be
iudged
altogether
senselesse
,
in
translating
the
diuinity
into
a
morsel
of
bread
,
adoring
it
for
Iesus
Christ
,
&
creating
to
her selfe
daily
a
million
of
new
Gods
.
If
she
haue
thus
transgressed
against
the
first
commandement
,
it
will
appeare
she
hath
carried
no
more
respect
to
the
second
,
whereby
God
expressely
forbiddeth
the
making
of
any
grauen
Image
,
or
the
resemblance
of
any
thing
whatsoeuer
,
either
aboue
in
heauen
,
heere
belowe
on
the
earth
,
or
in
the
waters
vnderneath
the
earth
;
nay
more
,
not
to
fall
downe
before
them
,
or
vse
any
manner
of
seruice
to
them
.

But
this
charge
hath
she
taken
from
the
peoples
remembrance
,
and
most
maliciously
hath
cut
it
quite
away
from
the
number
of
the
commandements
,
in
the
Houres
,
which
is
a
booke
of
praiers
,
by
her
ministers
prouided
for
the
vulgar
sort
:
and
yet
to
the
end
,
that
there
might
still
remaine
the
full
number
of
ten
,
they
haue
seuered
the
last
,
and
made
two
of
it
.
All
her
Temples
hath
she
filled
,
&
charged
her
Altars
with
the
Images
of
men
,
of
Diuelles
,
of
horses
,
of
hogges
,
of
dogges
,
and
other
resemblances
,
and
to
them
hath
made
incensings
,
offerings
,
set
candels
burning
before
them
,
and
her
adherents
haue
prostrated
themselues
before
them
.
Nay
,
so
strangely
hath
she
herein
proceeded
,
that
in
the
second
Counsell
of
Nice
,
she
caused
it
there
to
be
absolutely
decreed
,
that
these
Images
should
be
adored
,
&
excommunicated
al
such
as
did
,
or
beleeued
the
contrarie
,
and
that
decree
doth
shee
obserue
to
this
present
day
.
Wherein
apeareth
a
contrarietie
most
manifest
,
betweene
God
,
who
forbiddeth
flatly
the
adoration
of
Images
,
and
the
Church
of
Rome
,
that
commaunds
men
to
adore
them
.
Now
as
she
doth
excommunicate
euery
one
that
doth
not
worshippe
them
,
so
on
the
other
side
,
God
curseth
all
such
as
doe
so
,
or
fall
downe
before
them
Deut.

Let
euery
man
then
in
this
point
be
well
aduised
,
which
malediction
ought
most
to
be
feared
:
eyther
that
of
God
,
or
the
other
of
the
Romane
Church
.
And
though
I
should
consider
no
other
reason
,
to
perswade
me
that
she
is
not
the
true
Church
of
God
,
yet
this
alone
were
more
then
sufficient
.
But
now
another
presents
it selfe
before
me
,
which
is
of
no
lesse
weight
and
substance
,
and
that
is
it
which
Saint
Iohn
saith
:
Whosoeuer
transgresseth
and
abideth
not
in
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
hath
not
God
.
He
that
continueth
in
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
hee
hath
both
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
.
If
there
come
any
to
you
,
and
bring
not
this
doctrine
,
receiue
him
not
into
your
house
,
neither
bid
him
,
God
speede
.

And
Saint
Paule
saith
:
Though
wee
,
or
an
Angell
from
Heauen
doe
preach
vnto
you
otherwise
,
then
that
which
wee
haue
preached
vnto
you
,
let
him
bee
accursed

The
Church
of
Rome
hath
not
continued
in
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
but
hath
announced
&
receiued
another
Gospell
,
contrarie
to
that
which
the
Apostles
preached
.
Therefore
shee
hath
not
God
,
shee
ought
not
to
be
receiued
nor
acknowledged
,
nor
yet
to
be
saluted
,
but
held
as
execrable
and
accursed
.
Wherefore
then
,
if
she
haue
not
God
,
she
is
not
the
Church
of
God
,
euen
no
more
then
the
bodie
of
a
man
,
when
the
soule
is
separated
from
it
,
can
then
be
called
,
or
said
to
be
a
man
.
If
also
she
be
accursed
,
she
is
not
the
Church
of
God
,
because
the
Church
of
God
is
euermore
blessed
:
and
therefore
whosoeuer
will
bee
saued
,
ought
necessarily
to
forsake
her
,
and
ranke
himselfe
there
where
God
abideth
.
It
shall
be
easie
for
mee
to
approue
the
assumption
of
this
argument
,
by
the
conference
of
the
doctrine
of
Iesus
Christ
which
the
Apostles
preached
:
with
that
which
the
Pope
,
and
all
his
doctors
and
preachers
Romanists
,
doe
holde
and
preach
in
the
Church
of
Rome
and
I
wil
begin
at
the
very
foundation
of
the
Church
.
The
doctrine
Apostolical
teacheth
,
Other
foundation
can
no
man
lay
,
then
that
which
is
laide
,
which
is
Iesus
Christ
.

Whereupon
,
himselfe
was
desirous
to
build

:
Vpon

(
which
is
Christ
,
the
stone
which
the
Romane
builders
haue
aswell
refused
,
as
the
Iewes
did
)
will
I
build
my
Church
.

The
Church
of
Rome
hath
taken
her selfe
from
vnder
this
foundation
,
and
will
needes
bee
grounded
on
that
of
Saint
Peter
.
But
I
referre
to
their
opinion
,
who
cannot
bee
so
vnprouided
of
iudgement
,
how
well
the
Church
should
bee
defended
against
the
powers
of
hell
,
if
shee
had
not
a
more
solide
foundation
then
that
of
Saint
Peter
:
who
at
the
voice
of
a
silly
young
mayden
,
was
in
such
sort
shaken
,
as
all
that
was
builded
on
him
was
neere
hand
ouerturned
.
If
so
weak
a
winde
did
totter
that
foundation
,
what
then
could
the
terrible
stormes
do
,
which
Sathan
and
his
Angels
(
which
are
the
powers
of
the
ayre
)
vented
out
of
hell
against
the
Church
of
God
.
The
Apostles
taught
:
That
wee
are
saued
and
iustified
freely
by
his
grace
,
through
the
redemption
that
is
in
Christ

,
by

which
are
the
three
causes
of
our
iustification
and
saluation
:
the
efficient
whereof
,
is
the
grace

of
God
:
the
materiall
,
is
Iesus
Christ
in

bloude
:
and
the
instrumentall
,

in
him
.
The
Church
of

doth
dogmatise
the
quite
contrarie
:
that
wee
may
acquire
iustice
and
Paradise
,
by
our
good
works
,
and
be
iustified
before
God
by
them
.
The
doctrine
Apostolicall
testifieth
:
That
by
the
bloude
of

wee
are
redeemed

The

that

redeeme
our
sinnes
by
almes
,
fastings
,
pilgrimages
,
celebration
of

,
and
such
like
thinges
.
That
there
is
another
purgatory
,
beside
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
whereby
hee
satisfied
to
GOD
,
for
the
paines

were

and
wherein

doth
attribute

that
before
the
comming
of

Christ
,
there
were
many
Priests
or
sacrificers
made
,
because
by
death
they
were
impeached
from
enduring
,
&
so
succeeded
one
another
.
But
Iesus
Christ
,
because
he
endureth
euer
,
hath
an

Priesthode
.

and
because
he
had
no
neede
of
any
successour
,
therefore
there
was
no
neede
also
,
to
offer
daily
sacrifices
for
sinne
.
For
he
did
it
once
for
all
,
offering
vp
himselfe
,
and
by
this
oblation
onely
(
the
efficacie
wherof
is
daily
recent
before
God
)
he
hath
consecrated
,
to
perpetuitie
,
those
that
shal
be
saued
.

The
Romane
Church
holds
the
Pope
for
soueraigne
sacrificer
,
as
if
Christ
,
to
whom
this
office
onely
appertaineth
,
were
dead
,
and
he
of
necessitie
ought
to
be
his
successour

She
acknowledgeth
also
,
all
the
Priests
of

,
not
only
to
be
sacrificers
,
whose
office
(

is
daily
to
offer

in

Masse

for
the
sins
of

liuing

it
is

to
dispossesse

not

The

the

The
Romane
doctrine
saith
,
that
mariage
is
pollution
,
approuing
and
allowing
the
opinion
of
one
of
her
Popes
,
Siricius
,
who
qualifying
the
case
in
this
maner
,
prohibited
and
forbad
mariage
to
Bishops
,
Priestes
and
Deacons
,
tolerating
notorious
whoredomes
to
the
whole
worlde
,
and
permitting
publick
Stewes
or
Burdelles
,
that
daily
pay
trybute
therefore
to
the
Pope
.
By
all
these
Antitheses
,
we
may
easily
iudge
the
difference
,
that
is
betweene
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
that
of
the
Romane
Church
:
and
by
these
meanes
,
discerning
it
to
bee
a
Church
without
God
,
execrable
and
accursed
,
thinke
it
meete
,
that
all
such
as
woulde
bee
saued
,
shoulde
separate
themselues
from
it
.
Now
after
shee
had
thus
transgressed
against
the
commandements
of
God
,
and
instituted
others
quite
contrarie
to
them
in
their
places
.
After
she
hath
renounced
the
doctrine
of
the
Sonne
of
God
,
deliuered
by
his
Apostles
,
and
caused
(
in
their
steede
)
the
traditions
and
constitutions
of
men
,
meerely
opposite
to
them
all
,
to
be
wholly
embraced
and
receiued
:
There
then
remained
no
more
,
but
to
make
a
breach
of
the
Sacraments
,
which
our
Lord
Iesus
did
leaue
to
his
Church
,
to
confirme
and
seale
(
by
them
)
in
the
hearts
of
the
faithfull
,
the
truth
of
his
promises
,
and
vnder
the
signes
of
visible
thinges
,
to
exhibite
and
giue
them
(
intirely
)
all
his
best
blessings
.
Now
if
shee
shewed
her selfe
so
audacious
and
bolde
in
the
two
former
points
,
it
will
appeare
,
that
she
hath
declared
her selfe
no
lesse
presumptuous
and
headstrong
in
this
third
.
For
ouer
and
aboue
her
annihilating
the
Sacraments
,
especially
that
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
abolishing
the
signes
,
without
which
it
can
be
no
Sacrament
,
three
things
being
required
in
all
Sacraments
;
to
wit
,
the
word
,
the
signe
,
and
the
thing
signified
:
She
hath
contaminated
and
prophaned
the
same
,
by
her
additions
or
diminutions
,
She
hath
added

the
water

,
Oyle
and
Creame
,
without
any
one
worde
of
God
to
warrant
the
same
.
She
hath
cut
off
from
the
Laitie
(
as
she
tearmes
them
)
the
Cup
,
the
moitie
of
the
Sacrament
of
the
Supper
,
and
which
best
representeth
vnto
vs
the
death
and
passion
of
our
Lord
,
which
wee
ought
to
remember
,
and
the
washing
of
our
soules
from
sinne
,
which
we
ought
to
seeke
after
,
&c.
contrarie
to
his
owne
expresse
worde
,
that
saith
:
Drink
yee
all
of
this
.
Now
God
hath
most
exactly
enioyned
vs
,
that
wee
shall
haue
care
of
fulfilling
what
he
hath
commaunded
vs
,
and
that
we
shall
not
be
so
bolde
,
as
to
adde
any
thing
,
or
diminish
any
thing
:
this
was
not
a
temporall
commaundement
,
giuen
to
the
Iewes
onely
,
for
his
enduring
is
eternall
,
and
hee
addressed
the
same
to
his
Church
,
euen
to
the
end
of
the
worlde
.
If
it
were
not
lawfull
to
adde
to
,
or
omit
any
of
the
ceremonies
ordained
by
Moses
,
concerning
the
eating
of
the
Paschal
Lamb
,
which
was
one
of
the
Sacraments
to
the
Iewes
:
why
should
it
bee
permitted
now
on
the
behalfe
of
our
Sacraments
?
And
,
if
any
one
that
misprised
the
Lawe
of
Moses
,
dyed
the
death
without
any
mercie
:
what
farre
worse
torments
then
doth
hee
deserue
,
that
shall
treade
the
sonne
of
God
vnder
his
feete
?
The
Church
of
Rome
tramples
with
her
foule
feete
vpon
him
;
when
shee
addeth
to
,
and
diminisheth
from
his
worde
,
when
she
despiseth
his
doctrine
,
and
deliuers
another
;
when
she
prophanes
his
Sacraments
;
and
when
so
enormously
shee
transgresseth
the
commaundements
of
God
.
It
followes
then
,
that
shee
is
to
expect
most
rigorous
punishments
:
and
such
as
will
not
participate
in
her
plagues
,
must
keepe
themselues
from
partaking
in
her
sinnes
,
and
,
least
they
bee
infected
,
to
quit
themselues
of
her
in
due
time
.
I
adiure
then
all
those
,
in
whose
soules
resides
any
sparke
of
pietie
,
of
zeale
to
the
glorie
of
GOD
,
and
of
affection
to
their
owne
saluation
:
that
they
,
weighing
these
reasons
,
and
not
beleeuing
euery
spirit
,
but
approuing
the
spirites
,
whether
they
bee
of
GOD
or
no
,
propose
to
themselues
,
that
many
false
Prophets
are
come
into
the
world
.

they

as
they
haue
almost
obscured
the
true
seruice
of
GOD
,
and
euen
very
neere
hand
suffocated
the
whole
doctrine
of
saluation
)
shee
may
bee
easiliest
discouered
:
yet
notwithstanding
shee
hath
beene
so
subtile
,
as
to
forbid
the
people
the
reading
of
them
,
knowing
verie
well
,
that
if
they
bee
read
,
the
pot
of
Roses
would
be
discouered
,
and
all
the
world
abandoning
her
,
would
sende
forth
an
open
cry
vpon
her
,
as
after
an
enraged
wolfe
,
that
hauing
broken
the
pales
of
the
Churches
Parke
,
sought
to
loose
and
destroy
the
poore
flock
of
the
Lord
.
Neuerthelesse
,
shee
could
not
so
cunningly
prouide
for
her
owne
affaires
,
but
GOD
discouered
her
parts
of
shame
,
and
laide
open
her
abhominations
to
the
whole
worlde
:
for
the
light
of
his
Gospell
now
shining
euery
where
,
all
the
nookes
and
corners
are
wide
open
,
and
the
masque
,
wherewith
shee
shadowed
her
deformed
countenance
,
hath
beene
rent
off
from
her
face
,
and
there
is
no
one
(
if
hee
bee
not
wilfully
blinde
)
but
may
see
and
perceiue
her
turpitude
.
And
yet
for
all
this
,
beeing
thus
publikely
knowne
,
quite
contrarie
to
the
imitation
of
all
shamelesse
strumpets
,
perceiuing
they
can
no
longer
bee
couered
:
yet
shee
hath
cast
downe
all
shame
,
and
contemning
all
whatsoeuer
,
suffereth
her selfe
to
bee
carried
into
the
depth
of
all
iniquitie
.
Shee
is
become
like
to
her
owne
Images
,
that
haue
eyes
,
yet
see
nothing
,
eares
,
and
heare
nothing
at
all
.
Shee
hath
stopt
her
eares
like
the
Adder
,
as
not
willing
to
heare
the
voice
of
her
husband
,
who
called
her
to
better
vnderstanding
,
by
the
admonitions
of
such
as
bemoned
her
mishappes
,
&
desired
her
reconciliation
.
She
hath
altogither
shut
her
eyes
,
because
she
would
not
see
the
light
of
trueth
,
taking
nothing
else
more
opposite
against
her
hart
,
then
the
bright
splendour
thereof
.
Beeing
no
way
comparable
to
the
noble
Eagles
,
who
looke
with
wide
open
eyes
(
without
winking
)
vpon
the
glorious
Sun
:
but
rather
resembling
Moules
,
that
delight
themselues
to
dwel
perpetually
in
the
darke
bowels
of
the
earth
,
making
no
account
at
all
of
the
light
.
And
although
they
haue
no
eyes
whereby
to
discerne
it
,
yet
notwithstanding
are
they
such
enemies
thereto
:
as
the
leaste
opening
they
feele
,
for
appearance
of
any
of
his
beames
,
or
the
ayre
that
may
yeelde
some
glimmering
to
them
,
makes
them
neuer
cease
,
vntil
they
be
vnderneath
a
great
masse
of
earth
,
that
light
may
not
any
way
haue
passage
to
them
.
In
like
maner
,
when
God
hath
pleased
to
make
some
opening
,
whereby
to
cause
some
penetrating
or
splendour
of
the
faire
beames
of
truthes
cleare
light
into
the
Church
of
Rome
:
yet
in
regard
she
affecteth
nothing
more
then
dreames
,
wherin
she
hath
long
time
beene
nousled
,
and
vsed
them
as
a
common
habit
,
she
hath
imployed
all
her
earthly
forces
against
it
,
that
no
way
it
may
haue
entrance
to
her
.
And
perceiuing
that
to
dart
her
thunder
bolts
of
excommunication
,
hath
growen
little
to
her
auaile
,
she
makes
her
recourse
now
,
to
execute
her
dessignes
by
the
power
of
kings
,
by
murdring
Canons
,
swordes
,
and
Armes
:
she
hath
practised
al
the
rigours
of
the
ciuil
lawes
,
seruing
her
turne
with
banishments
,
proscriptions
,
imprisonings
,
libbitings
,
burnings
,
and
other
cruell
inflictions
.
Shee
hath
opposed
the
decrees
of
her
Popes
,
the
traditions
of
her
fathers
,
the
Canons
of
her
Councels
,
the
headie
opinions
of
her
Schollers
,
with
the
fallacies
of
her
Sophisters
.
Shee
hath
not
forgot
,
to
set
(
as
marching
in
her
formost
rankes
)
her
venerable
antiquitie
,
her
innumerable
multitude
,
her
continued
succession
of
Pastours
,
her
inuented
miracles
,
her
precious
sanctitie
of
Reliques
,
her
most
holy
splendour
of
Ceremonies
,
the
beautie
and
inestimable
riches
of
her
vessels
and
golden
ornaments
,
&
the
thundring
noyse
of
her
belles
,
as
also
the
maruellous
building
of
her
churches
:
whereby
shee
makes
herselfe
amiable
to
all
such
,
as
are
deaffe
to
his
voice
that
cals
them
to
saluation
.
All
which
things
,
are
like
so
many
cloudes
gathered
together
,
to
hinder
by
their
thick
darknesse
,
that
the
bright
sunne
might
not
iustly
shine
among
them
:
like
so
many
heapes
of
earth
,
onely
to
suffocate
and
burie
trueth
in
,
if
she
but
offer
to
enter
vpon
them
:
or
as
so
many
illusions
,
to
make
her
affrighted
,
if
(
of
her
owne
nature
)
she
were
any
way
fearefull
.
But
albeit
the
sunne
doe
tardie
time
a
while
,
yet
his
arising
surmounteth
those
cloudes
,
and
a
vehement
winde
disperseth
them
abroade
,
a
great
floud
of
waters
descending
from
heauen
,
quite
beares
away
all
those
heapes
of
earth
,
and
the
bright
presence
of
the
Lord
makes
all
those
feigned
illusions
to
vanish
.
And
in
despight
of
all
the
policies
of
Antichrist
,
hee
will
enter
,
to
visite
them
that
desire
his
companie
,
and
to
comfort
them
that
mourne
after
him
,
and
powerfully
deliuer
them
out
of
the
bloudie
wolues
fangs
,
that
call
vpon
him
for
their
helpe
.
God
also
(
in
the
end
)
will
punish
the
blasphemies
,
which
this
strumpet
hath
cast
forth
against
his
glorie
,
the
contempt
of
saluation
by
him
freely
offered
,
but
by
her
most
impudently
reiected
,
and
will
reuenge
the
outrages
,
done
by
her
to
his
chosen
and
faithfull
;
which
alreadie
he
had
executed
,
&
quite
confounded
her
in
the
bottomlesse
depth
,
but
that
his
mercie
attendeth
the
rest
of
his
elect
,
who
like
good
corne
,
are
mingled
among
the
darnell
:
and
to
the
end
they
may
not
perish
with
the
chaffe
,
and
be
cast
into
the
quenchlesse
fire
,
he
will
(
in
his
good
time
)
select
them
into
his
Garner
.
For
euen
as
while
Lot
was
in
Sodome
,
he
deferred
the
punishment
of
the
wicked
:
so
,
while
one
of
his
elect
shall
abide
in
the
polluted
Church
of
Rome
,
God
(
with
ouer-great
patience
)
will
endure
her
abhominations
,
and
day
by
day
augment
the
light
of
his
trueth
.
Which
that
hee
may
in
his
exceeding
loue
and
mercie
still
vouchsafe
to
doe
,
vpon
my
knees
I
hartily
entreate
of
his
diuine
Maiestie
:
And
pray
you
all
heere
present
,
to
beare

of
mine
vnfained
conuersion

A
DECLARATION
AND
PROFESSION
PVBLICKLY
made
,
in
the
reformed
Church
of
Paris
,
gathered
together
at
ABLON
.
BY
MASTER
DENIS
BOVCHER
,
SOMEtime
a
Monke
of
the
Order
called
Saint
Frances
,
in
the
Couent
of
Noisy
,
neere
Paris
.
On
Sonday
the
sixt
of
Iuly
1603.
of
his
conuersion
to
the
true
Apostolike
Religion
;
and
abiuration
of
the
Popish
errours
,
superstitions
and
Idolatries
.
MY
Masters
,
it
is
no
newe
thing
,
neither
ought
it
to
be
accounted
strange
,
to
see
&
heare
rebellions
and
blasphemies
against
God
,
or
persecutions
and
heresies
against
his
Church
and
holy
trueth
:
for
such
matters
haue
held
place
,
euer
since
the
beginning
and
creation
of
the
worlde
,
as
the
sacred
Scriptures
sufficiently
doe
testifie
.
The
wicked
spirit
,
shadowed
with
the
Serpents
skinne
,
would
neuer
cease
,
till
he
had
seduced
and
withdrawne
our
first
parents
,
from
their
obedience
to
God
and
his
commandements
.
After
the
Deluge
,
Nimrod
and
his
associates
,
puffed
vp
also
with
an
ambitious
headstrongnesse
,
no
way
willing
to
depend
Wee
see
throughout
the
whole
booke
of
Exodus
,
how
God
,
(
after
hee
had
with
long
patience
toward
Pharaoh
the
king
of
Aegypt
,
shewed
that
he
forgot
not
his
people
by
him
persecuted
,
nor
yet
his
blasphemies
committed
against
his
Maiestie
)
in
the
end
,
by
a
strong
hand
deliuered
his
people
,
drowning
the
said
Pharaoh
and
all
his
followers
,
in
the
waters
of
the
red
Sea
.
Many
other
strangers
did
bandie
themselues
against
God
,
and
likewise
persecuted
his
people
,
as
the
Chaldeans
,
Babilonians
,
Persians
and
other
people
,
whome
God
(
at
length
)
did
vtterly
ruinate
.
Which
examples
doe
declare
vnto
vs
,
that
there
is
no
power
nor
prudence
,
neither
any
counsell
whatsoeuer
,
that
can
preuaile
against
the
Lord
our
God
.
But
when
hee
once
awakens
himselfe
(
as
after
a
profound
sleepe
,
to
vse
the
Prophets
owne
words
)
hee
knowes
how
to
reuenge
himselfe
on
those
that
durst
lift
vp
themselues
before
him
,
and
oppose
their
weaknesse
against
his
glorie
.
The
Histories
Ecclesiasticall
and
prophane
,
as
well
auncient
as
moderne
,
giue
vs
assurance
and
proofe
hereof
,
in
many
great
and
generall
persecutions
,
and
other
particuler
occasions
beside
,
raised
vp
by
the
Romane
Emperours
,
with
other
great
kings
,
Princes
and
Infidel
Potentates
,
against
God
,
his
Church
and
sacred
trueth
:
wherein
(
neuerthelesse
)
hee
hath
in
the
end
showne
himselfe
most
magnificently
victorious
,
euen
ouer
all
his
enemies
,
protecting
and
defending
all
those
that
put
their
trust
in
him
.
Which
also
was
the
blessed
aduertisment
and
assured
consolation
,
that
sometimes
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
gaue
to
his
Apostles
,
when
hee
sent
them
forth
to
preach
his
word
,
saying
.
I
send
yee
forth
as
sheepe
and
lambes
among
Wolues
.
Yee
shall
haue
manie
enemies
,
that
shall
put
yee
to
much
paine
and
trauaile
in
the
world
:
But
bee
yee
of
good
courage
,
for
I
haue
ouercome
the
world
.
And
further
assurance
of
victorie
hee
gaue
In
this
respect
(
my
worthy
&
iudicious
Masters
)
because
now
daies
it
seemes
,
that
the
Church
of
Rome
is
mightily
aduanced
,
by
the
multitude
of
her
supposts
and
false
Pastors
,
who
in
stead
of
the
true
heauenly
foode
,
present
nothing
else
but
venemous
hearbes
and
false
doctrines
,
therewith
to
feede
the
soules
,
of
men
:
Although
(
I
say
)
it
appears
,
that
this
Synagogue
of
Sathan
do
daily
beare
vp
saile
,
God
sparing
and
delaying
his
iudgements
against
her
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
at
length
hee
will
let
loose
the
arrowes
of
his
indignation
and
fierce
anger
,
against
her
blasphemies
,
so
that
shee
shall
no
way
be
able
to
endure
the
weight
of
his
displeasure
:
but
shall
altogither
remaine
confounded
and
ruined
.
Whereas
on
the
contrary
part
,
hee
will
defend
,
preserue
and
encrease
(
day
by
day
)
his
little
flock
,
as
we
may
perceiue
,
that
many
(
being
guided
and
conducted
by
his
holy
spirit
)
haue
forsaken
the
accursed
foulde
of
Popery
,
to
ranck
themselues
amongst
the
members
of
his
true
Church
.
And
heere
(
my
masters
)
I
present
my selfe
before
you
,
as
one
of
them
,
who
although
I
was
one
of
the
least
members
of
that
great
Popish
bodie
:
yet
did
I
not
desist
from
persecuting
to
my
vttermost
,
the
true
Church
of
our
Sauiour
,
and
the
verity
of
his
Gospell
,
which
I
impugned
by
diuerse
heresies
,
which
I
learned
in
the
infectious
Cloysters
of
sundry
Monasteries
,
publickly
preaching
and
pronouncing
them
,
vnderstanding
and
corrupting
most
vilely
the
holy
Scriptures
,
arming
and
seruing
mine
owne
turne
,
with
infinite
other
subornations
,
only
to
contradict
the
trueth
withall
.
I
did
intirely
oppose
my selfe
against
that
goodly
and
bright
splendour
,
shining
most
gloriously
in
the
word
of
God
:
And
(
to
speake
truely
)
I
made
a
spare
of
nothing
,
which
I
imagined
might
serue
for
mine
owne
conseruation
in
the
estate
of
lying
.
But
yet
at
length
,
when
God
made
me
to
know
,
that
it
was
ouer-hard
for
me
to
kick
against
the
prick
,
and
that
I
had
wilfully
shut
vp
mine
eyes
before
,
only
because
I
would
not
looke
on
the
bright
Sunne
of
iustice
,
which
vouchsafeth
to
illuminate
all
the
world
,
God
then
(
I
say
)
in
mercie
looking
vpon
mee
,
did
let
mee
plainely
perceiue
,
that
I
deserued
no
lesse
chastisement
,
then
the
veriest
wretch
in
the
whole
worlde
.
And
,
to
the
end
I
may
make
a
more
particular
declaration
of
his
grace
bestowed
vpon
mee
,
receiuing
First
of
all
,
the
word
of
God
teacheth
vs
,
that
Iesus
Christ
is
our
soueraigne
Prophet
,
King
and
Priest
,
and
that
at
one
time
onely
,
he
offered
vp
himselfe
a
sacrifice
to
God
,
for
vs
who
were
vtterly
lost
,
the
children
of
wrath
,
sinne
and
death
.
That
by
one
oblation
onely
hee
hath
sanctified
vs
,
&
bought
vs
from
the
curse
of
the
Lawe
,
euen
when
hee
made
himselfe
a
curse
for
vs
.
Now
the
Church
of
Rome
confesseth
,
that
albeit
Iesus
Christ
did
die
for
vs
:
yet
his
death
is
not
profitable
to
vs
,
except
wee
doe
some
good
workes
,
to
apply
vnto
our selues
matter
of
merit
thereby
.
As
if
hee
had
not
offered
vp
himselfe
to
his
Father
,
but
rather
is
to
be
offered
vp
by
the
Sacrifices
and
Doctours
of
the
Lawe
:
And
that
his
oblation
is
not
meritorious
only
,
except
the
same
be
daily
reiterated
in
the
Masse
,
which
(
they
say
)
is
propitiatorie
to
God
,
both
for
the
liuing
and
the
dead
.
That
Christ
hath
not
throughly
deliuered
vs
from
the
curse
of
the
Lawe
,
but
that
(
to
bee
saued
)
we
ought
in
our selues
to
accomplish
the
Lawe
.
Wherein
they
contradict
manifestly
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
and
namely
that
place
taught
by
saint
Paule
,
in
the
second
Chapter
of
his
Epistle
to
The
holy
Scriptures
also
doe
enstruct
vs
,
that
Iesus
Christ
is
the
alone
Mediatour
betweene
God
and
man
,
as
also
the
only
Come
vnto
mee
all
yee
that
are
heauie
laden
,
and
I
will
ease
you
.
Beside
,
Whatsoeuer
you
demaunde
of
the
Father
in
my
name
,
you
shall
obtaine
it
.
The
Pope
auoucheth
,
that
although
Iesus
Christ
bee
the
heade
of
the
Church
,
yet
(
saith
hee
)
that
he
himselfe
is
the
ministeriall
head
thereof
in
earth
,
and
that
all
things
are
as
wel
subiected
to
him
,
as
vnto
Christ
.
That
all
,
whatsoeuer
hee
doth
or
saith
,
ought
to
be
helde
and
reputed
,
as
comming
euen
from
God
himselfe
.
That
in
things
which
concerne
Religion
,
he
cannot
erre
:
&
yet
notwithstanding
,
many
Popes
haue
bin
found
to
be
heretikes
,
witnesse
Liberius
,
Marcellinus
and
others
.
Hee
saith
also
,
that
his
commaundements
ought
to
bee
executed
equally
with
them
belonging
to
God
.
In
breefe
,
hee
would
make
the
world
beleeue
,
that
the
Church
of
GOD
is
a
monster
with
two
heades
,
before
which
(
equally
)
all
knees
ought
to
bowe
and
bend
.
God
did
likewise
expresly
forbid
his
people
,
and
so
consequently
to
all
men
,
to
make
any
grauen
Image
,
of
any
thing
Finally
,
the
holy
Spirit
doth
assure
vs
,
that
the
sacred
Scriptures
are
diuinely
inspired
,
that
they
are
apt
to
enstruct
,
correct
Which
if
they
of
Popishe
spirit
would
doe
,
so
many
traditions
and
humane
doctrins
should
not
be
seen
,
directly
against
the
word
of
God
:
As
is
that
of
Purgatorie
,
prayer
for
the
dead
,
Indulgences
,
vowes
and
pilgrimages
,
auricular
confession
,
and
others
,
so
full
of
superstitions
and
Idolatries
;
and
neuer
were
heard
so
many
blaspemies
.
Namely
,
as
when
the
title
of
honour
of
the
holy
Father
,
or
of
his
holinesse
,
which
appertaineth
to
none
but
God
onely
,
is
attributed
and
giuen
to
a
mortall
man
,
a
poore
and
miserable
sinner
.
The
Sacraments
of
the
Church
,
which
are
but
two
,
instituted
by
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
:
are
they
not
broken
and
prophaned
,
when
we
see
them
to
bee
augmented
,
and
added
vnto
,
with
fiue
other
bastard
Sacraments
?
All
which
,
hauing
no
institution
,
commaundement
or
promise
in
the
word
of
God
:
we
cannot
,
neither
ought
wee
to
make
any
vse
of
them
.
My
masters
,
these
things
,
with
many
others
,
haue
incited
me
to
forsake
the
places
where
they
are
taught
and
commanded
,
to
leaue
the
large
and
spacious
way
,
which
leadeth
to
perdition
,
This
present
declaration
was
with
a
loude
voice
pronounced
,
in
the
presence
of
the
whole
reformed
Church
of
Paris
,
congregated
at
Ablon
,
after
the
end
of
the
Sermon
:
On
Sunday

sixt

FINIS

A
DECLARATION
MADE
BY
MAster
DANIELL
DVSERT
,
a
natiue
of
Cinte-gauelle
neere
to
Tholouse
,
and
heretofore
a
Religious
Fryer
,
according
to
the
Order
of
Saint
Frances
.
Contayning
his
abiuration
of
the
Doctrine
of
the
Romish
Church
,
and
his
protestation
to
liue
and
dye
in
the
Faith
of
the
reformed
Church
.
Made
publickly
by
himselfe
,
in
the
Church
of
Mello
,
the
22.
day
of
December
,
1603.
I
Render
thanks
to
God
,
that
after
so
long
time
of
wauering
in
faith
,
and
plunging
in
the
errours
of
the
Romane
Church
,
being
altogither
led
by
the
cunning
Doctours
of
that
profession
,
and
brought
into
such
an
estate
,
as
being
wholly
subiected
vnder
the
power
of
the
Prince
of
darknesse
:
hee
hath
yet
at
length
(
by
the
vertue
and
efficacie
of
his
blessed
spirit
)
giuen
me
to
knowe
,
that
the
doctrine
preached
in
the
said
Romane
Church
,
is
as
farre
off
from
the
true
Euangelicall
doctrine
,
as
earth
is
from
heauen
,
&
that
such
as
follow
that
track
,
are
out
of
the
way
of
their
saluation
.
For
proofe
whereof
,
it
is
a
matter
most
certaine
,
That
out
of
Christs
Church
there
is
no
saluation
at
all
.
Now
,
that
is
the
Church
of
Christ
,
which
heares
his
voice
:
therefore
,
since
the
voice
of
Christ
(
that
is
to
say
,
his
word
)
is
not
heard
among
them
of
the
Romish
Church
,
it
must
needs
follow
,
that
they
are
neither
of
his
Church
,
nor
yet
of
his
flock
.
And
to
shew
apparantly
,
that
the
voice
of
Christ
is
not
heard
in
the
saide
Romane
Church
,
we
will
proceede
in
approuing
the
same
,
by
the
manifest
Antithesis
and
opposition
,
which
is
betweene
the
Romish
doctrine
,
and
that
of
Christ
,
contained
in
the
sacred
Scriptures
.
And
first
of
all
,
the
Church
of
Rome
teacheth
,
that
the
holy
Scriptures
doe
not
containe
all
the
doctrine
of
our
saluation
.
Which
is
quite
contrarie
to
the
Apostles
instruction
,
who
plainely
saith
:
That
hee
had
knowen
the
holy
Scriptures
of
a
childe
,
which
are
able
to
make
wise
vnto
saluation
,
through
the
faith
which
is
in
Iesus
Christ
.
For
the
whole
Scripture
is
giuen
by
diuine
inspiration
,
and
is
profitable
to
teach
,
to
conuince
,
to
correct
,
and
to
instruct
in
righteousnesse
.
That
the
man
of
God
may
he
absolute
,
being
made
perfect
vnto
all
good
workes
.
It
appeareth
then
that
they
erre
,
in
teaching
,
that
,
beside
the
doctrine
of
holy
Scripture
,
the
traditions
of
men
are
necessarie
to
saluation
.
Directly
contrary
to
our
Lord
&
Sauiours
instruction
,
where
he
saith
:
In
vaine
they
worship
me
,
teaching
for
doctrine
,
the
traditions
of
men
.
They
teach
also
,
that
the
same
Scriptures
are
so
obscure
and
doubtfull
,
as
we
cannot
clearely
gather
the
doctrine
of
saluation
by
them
.
Contrarie
to
Saint
Peters
speaches
,
saying
:
Wee
haue
also
a
most
sure
word
of
the
Prophets
,
to
the
which
yee
do
wel
that
yee
take
heed
,
as
vnto
a
light
that
shineth
in
a
darke
place
.
They
say
moreouer
,
that
it
is
not
lawfull
for
Lay
men
(
as
they
vse
to
call
such
as
are
of
other
condition
,
then
Ecclesiasticall
persons
)
to
reade
or
meditate
in
the
holy
Scriptures
.
Against
the
commandement
of
Christ
,
who
exhorteth
all
men
generally
in
this
manner
:
Search
diligently
the
Scriptures
,
for
in
them
yee
thinke
to
haue
eternall
life
,
and
they
are
they
which
testifie
of
mee
.
And
Saint
Iohn
doth
not
hee
addresse
his
Epistle
to
all
sortes
of
ages
,
saying
:
Little
children
,
I
write
vnto
you
,
because
your
sinnes
are
forgiuen
yee
for
his
names
sake
.
Againe
,
I
write
vnto
you
Fathers
,
&c.
Also
,
I
write
vnto
you
young
men
,
&c.
And
then
,
I
write
vnto
you
,
babes
.
Doe
they
not
likewise
teach
,
that
it
is
not
lawfull
to
reade
the
holy
Scriptures
,
as
also
,
not
to
pray
,
or
cal
vpon
the
name
of
God
,
but
in
the
Latine
tongue
?
and
make
a
very
strict
obseruation
thereof
?
And
is
not
this
contrarie
to
the
spirit
of
God
?
speaking
thus
by
his
blessed
Apostle
:
I
had
rather
in
the
church
,
to
speake
fiue
words
with
mine
vnderstanding
,
that
I
might
also
instruct
others
,
then
ten
thousand
words
in
a
strange
language
.
In
the
Church
of
Rome
they
also
teach
,
that
some
others
(
beside
Iesus
Christ
)
haue
beene
exempted
from
sinne
,
but
doe
they
not
lye
in
so
saying
?
when
the
Apostle
,
speaks
thus
:
Wherfore
,
as
by
one
man
sinne
entred
into
the
world
,
and
by
sin
death
,
and
so
death
went
ouer
all
men
,
forasmuch
as
all
men
haue
sinned
.
Beside
this
,
they
maintaine
,
that
man
hath
free
will
,
as
easily
to
saue
himselfe
,
as
to
perish
,
contrary
to
the
instruction
of
saint
Iohn
Baptist
,
saying
:
A
man
can
receiue
nothing
,
except
it
bee
giuen
him
from
heauen
.
And
the
Apostle
also
saith
:
It
is
GOD
which
worketh
in
you
,
both
the
will
and
the
deede
,
euen
of
his
own
good
pleasure
.
Moreouer
,
they
erre
greatly
,
teaching
that
our
workes
are
meritorious
to
saluation
before
God
,
against
that
which
the
Prophet
Esay
saith
:
All
our
righteousnesse
is
like
the
filthy
clouts
of
a
menstruous
woman
.
And
against
that
also
which
Damel
saith
:
Wee
doe
not
(
O
Lord
)
present
our
supplications
before
thee
,
for
our
owne
righteousnesse
,
but
for
thy
great
tender
mercies
.
Do
not
they
likewise
maintaine
,
that
wee
are
iustified
and
saued
by
the
workes
of
the
Lawe
,
and
not
by
faith
,
and
the
mercie
of
God
onely
?
Contrarie
to
the
Apostles
wordes
:
By
grace
are
yee
saued
through
faith
,
and
that
not
of
your selues
,
it
is
the
gift
of
God
.
Not
of
workes
,
least
any
man
should
boast
himselfe
.
Contrarie
also
to
this
to
Timothie
,
That
God
hath
saued
vs
,
and
called
vs
with
an
holy
calling
,
not
according
to
our
works
,
hut
according
to
his
owne
purpose
and
grace
,
which
was
giuen
to
vs
through
Christ
Iesus
,
before
the
world
was
.
Contrary
likewise
Romanes
:
Therefore
we
conclude
,
that
a
man
is
iustified
by
faith
,
without
the
workes
of
the
Lawe
.
Is
it
not
common
speach
also
,
as
well
in
their
writings
,
as
also
in
their
preachings
,
that
we
ought
to
stand
doubtful
of
our
saluation
?
Contrarie
to
Saint
Paule
to
the
Hebrewes
,
saying
:
Let
vs
goe
boldly
to
the
throne
of
grace
,
that
we
may
receiue
mercie
,
and
finde
grace
to
helpe
in
time
of
neede
.
Contrarie
also
to
his
writing
to
the
Romanes
,
where
he
saith
:
For
I
am
perswaded
,
that
neither
death
,
nor
life
,
nor
Angels
nor
Principalities
,
nor
powers
,
nor
things
present
,
nor
things
to
come
,
nor
height
,
nor
depth
,
nor
any
other
creature
shall
be
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
,
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
And
contrarie
also
to
his
writing
to
the
Corinthians
:
That
God
hath
sealed
vs
,
and
hath
giuen
the
earnest
of
his
spirit
in
our
hearts
.
Doe
they
not
defend
,
and
manifestly
against
the
worde
of
God
,
that
we
haue
other
Mediatours
and
Aduocates
,
then
Iesus
Christ
,
to
wit
,
both
hee-Saints
and
she-Saints
?
Contrarie
to
Saint
Paule
,
writing
thus
:
For
there
is
one
God
,
and
one
Mediatour
betweene
God
and
man
,
which
is
the
man
Christ
Iesus
.
Whatsoeuer
yee
shall
aske
the
father
in
my
name
,
he
will
giue
it
vnto
you
.
Thus
falling
from
errour
to
errour
,
they
ordaine
&
appoint
,
that
we
must
call
vpon
those
Saints
,
and
declare
to
them
our
miseries
and
necessities
:
which
no
man
can
do
,
but
meerely
in
vaine
,
because
both
he-Saints
and
she-Saints
can
take
no
acknowledgement
of
our
wants
,
according
to
the
saying
of
the
Prophet
Esay
:
Abraham
is
ignorant
of
vs
,
and
Iacob
knowes
vs
not
:
thou
(
O
Lord
)
art
our
Father
,
and
our
Redeemer
,
thy
name
is
for
euer
.
How
doe
they
labour
likewise
,
to
perswade
the
world
,
concerning
the
necessity
of
prayers
for
the
dead
,
or
those
faithfull
soules
,
which
(
they
say
)
are
enclosed
in
Purgatorie
?
directly
contrary
to
our
Lord
and
Sauiours
owne
words
,
as
the
Euangelist
sets
downe
:
Whosoeuer
beleeueth
in
the
Sonne
shall
not
be
condemned
.
And
in
the
first
Chapter
of
the
same
Gospell
:
Verily
verily
I
say
vnto
you
,
he
that
heareth
my
word
,
and
beleeueth
in
him
that
sent
mee
,
hath
euerlasting
life
,
and
shall
not
come
into
condemnation
,
but
hath
passed
from
death
vnto
life
.
Continually
they
preach
,
that
there
is
another
kinde
of
Purgatorie
,
then
that
which
is
contained
in
the
bloud
onely
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
Quite
contrarie
to
the
blessed
Apostle
,
writing
thus
:
If
we
acknowledge
our
sinnes
,
hee
is
faithfull
and
iust
,
to
forgiue
vs
our
sinnes
,
and
to
cleanse
vs
from
all
vnrighteousnese
.
And
as
it
followeth
in
the
We
haue
an
Aduocat
with
the
Father
,
to
wit
,
Iesus
Christ
the
Iust
.
And
hee
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sinnes
,
and
not
for
ours
onely
,
but
also
for
the
sinnes
of
the
whole
world
.
Why
then
it
is
most
false
,
that
there
is
a
third
place
,
beside
Paradise
and
hel
,
where
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
,
departing
from
this
world
,
are
to
be
tormented
,
before
they
can
be
brought
to
heauen
.
Contrarie
to
the
Prophet
Esay
,
who
saith
:
The
iust
man
dying
,
enters
into
peace
and
rest
.
The
soules
of
the
righteous
are
in
the
hand
of
God
,
&
no
torment
shall
touch
them
.
Blessed
are
the
dead
,
which
hereafter
die
in
the
Lord
.
Euen
so
saith
the
Spirit
,
for
they
rest
from
their
labours
,
and
their
workes
follow
them
.
In
like
manner
they
teach
,
that
to
obtaine
remission
of
our
sinnes
,
we
must
make
an
account
of
them
,
and
number
all
our
sinnes
in
auricular
confession
:
by
which
hellish
cordes
,
they
strangle
the
conscience
,
binding
it
to
impossible
things
.
Acding
to
the
saying
of
the
Prophet
Dauid
:
That
his
sinnes
surmounted
in
number
,
the
haires
of
his
head
.
Again
he
saith
:
Who
can
vnderstand
all
his
faults
?
cleanse
me
(
O
Lord
)
from
my
secret
Yet
not
thus
contented
,
they
teach
beside
,
that
by
the
greatnesse
of
our
bodies
punishments
,
and
contritions
,
we
may
gain
remission
of
our
sins
,
&
life
euerlasting
.
Against
that
which
S.
Paule
writeth
to
the
Romans
:
For
I
count
that
the
afflictions
of
this
present
time
,
are
not
worthy
of
the
glory
,
which
shal
be
reuealed
to
vs
.
They
erre
also
,
in
teaching
the
superstitious
obseruation
of
certaine
daies
,
contrarie
to
the
reprehension
,
made
by
the
Apostle
to
the
Galathians
,
saying
:
Ye
obserue
daies
,
and
moneths
,
and
times
and
years
.
And
a
mighty
abuse
they
commit
,
teaching
the
superstitious
distinguishing
of
meats
,
disagreeing
with
the
Apostles
doctrin
to
the
Colossians
,
where
he
saith
:
Let
no
man
condemne
you
in
meat
,
or
drinke
,
or
in
respect
of
an
holy
day
,
or
of
the
new
Moone
,
or
of
the
Sabaoth
daies
.
They
deceiue
themselues
also
,
in
forbidding
mariage
to
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
contrarie
to
that
which
the
spirit
of
God
speakes
,
without
exception
of
age
,
degree
or
condicion
whatsoeuer
,
saying
:
Mariage
is
honorable
among
all
,
and
the
bed
vndefiled
:
but
whoremongers
and
adulterers
God
will
iudge
.
And
this
we
adde
hereto
of
the
Apostle
:
Now
the
spirit
speaketh
euidently
,
that
in
the
latter
daies
,
some
shall
depart
from
the
faith
,
and
shall
giue
heede
vnto
spirits
of
errour
,
and
doctrines
of
diuels
:
Which
speake
lyes
through
hypocrisie
,
and
haue
their
consciences
seared
with
an
hote
Iron
:
Forbidding
to
marrie
,
and
commaunding
to
abstaine
from
meats
.
They
pile
errour
vpon
errour
,
teaching
that
there
are
seauen
Sacraments
in
the
Church
.
For
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
in
regard
the
Sacraments
are
Seals
of
the
mercies
of
God
to
saluation
:
it
necessarily
ensueth
,
that
none
other
can
giue
vs
or
promise
vs
saluation
,
neither
doth
it
appertaine
to
any
,
but
to
God
onely
,
to
seale
vs
the
same
promise
,
which
he
hath
ratified
to
vs
by
those
speciall
seales
.
Wherefore
,
hauing
none
other
but
Baptisme
,
and
the
Supper
of
our
Lord
,
to
confirme
&
seale
so
great
a
benefit
vnto
vs
:
it
followes
in
meere
iustice
,
that
we
ought
to
acknowledge
none
but
these
two
onely
,
for
Sacraments
.
And
not
to
make
any
addition
to
them
,
of
Confirmation
,
Mariage
,
Penance
,
Orders
and
extreame
vnction
:
considering
,
that
these
things
,
hauing
no
visible
signe
of
Gods
ordinance
,
neither
any
promise
annexed
to
them
of
eternall
saluation
(
which
are
the
essentiall
conditions
of
Sacraments
)
cannot
be
reckoned
to
be
any
such
.
And
how
ridiculous
likewise
doe
they
shewe
themselues
when
they
teach
,
that
the
vertue
&
efficacie
of
the
Sacraments
doth
depend
vpon
the
intention
of
him
that
is
to
administer
them
?
when
as
(
quite
contrarie
)
the
power
and
strength
of
them
,
depends
only
vpon
the
ordinance
of
God
,
&
on
the
faith
of
him
that
is
to
vse
them
.
Moreouer
,
their
instruction
also
is
very
erronious
,
that
the
pretended
Sacraments
of
Confirmation
,
and
of
the
Orders
Ecclesiasticall
,
are
more
worthy
and
excellent
,
then
either
Baptisme
,
or
the
Lords
Supper
.
Because
(
say
they
)
that
by
Commation
&
Orders
,
the
indclible
,
or
neuer
to
be
razed
out
Character
(
as
they
call
it
)
is
thereby
imprinted
in
the
soules
of
them
that
receiue
them
.
And
likewise
,
because
they
are
adminstred
by
persons
much
more
excellent
,
to
wit
,
by
Bishops
only
:
whereas
both
Baptisme
,
and
the
holy
Supper
,
doe
imprint
no
Character
at
all
,
and
may
be
ministred
by
simple
Priests
.
Ouer
and
beyond
all
these
,
they
teach
,
that
the
bodie
and
bloud
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
are
contained
vnder
these
kinds
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
accidents
of
Bread
and
Wine
,
contrarie
to
the
Article
of
our
faith
,
which
saith
:
That
Christ
shall
not
descende
at
all
from
heauen
,
but
when
he
comes
at
the
latter
day
,
to
iudge
both
the
quicke
and
the
deade
.
And
contrarie
to
that
which
S.
Peter
saith
in
the
Actes
of
the
Apostles
:
That
the
heauens
must
containe
him
,
vntill
the
time
that
all
things
be
restored
.
But
by
On
the
other
side
,
taking
away
vniustly
from
the
Lay
people
,
to
wit
,
such
as
are
not
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
the
Cup
of
the
Lord
,
which
hee
protested
to
bee
the
newe
Testament
in
his
bloud
,
shed
for
the
remission
of
many
:
goe
they
not
against
the
vniuersall
commaundement
of
Iesus
Christ
,
where
he
saith
:
Drinke
yee
all
of
it
?
and
do
they
not
thus
violate
the
testamentarie
But
the
errour
of
errours
,
thrust
into
this
Sacrament
,
is
,
when
they
teach
,
that
in
the
Eucharist
in
their
Masse
,
there
is
a
sacrifice
Hebrewes
:
Not
that
he
should
offer
himselfe
often
,
as
the
high
Priest
entred
into
the
Holy
place
,
euery
yeare
with
other
bloude
.
For
then
must
he
haue
often
suffered
since
the
foundation
of
the
world
:
But
now
in
the
end
of
the
world
,
hath
hee
appeared
once
,
to
put
away
sinne
,
by
the
sacrifice
of
himselfe
.
And
in
the
tenth
of
the
same
Epistle
,
hee
saith
:
Loe
,
I
come
to
doe
thy
will
,
O
God
.
By
the
which
will
wee
are
sanctified
,
euen
by
the
offering
of
the
bodie
of
Iesus
Christ
once
made
.
Whereby
we
learne
,
that
the
sacrifice
which
our
Lord
Iesus
once
onely
offered
,
is
alone
sufficient
,
soly
perfect
,
and
of
perpetuall
continuance
to
expiate
our
sinnes
,
without
any
reiterating
or
renewing
:
as
hauing
no
imperfection
whatsoeuer
,
neither
can
(
by
length
or
succession
of
times
)
become
fruitlesse
or
vnprofitable
:
as
they
would
gladly
make
vs
beleeue
,
who
,
according
to
their
owne
doctrine
,
doe
daily
crucifie
the
Lord
anew
.
And
what
nature
can
but
iustly
complaine
,
when
they
maintaine
,
that
we
ought
to
fall
downe
and
prostrate
our selues
before
Images
?
contrary
to
the
second
commandement
,
giuen
by
God
himselfe
:
Thou
shalt
make
thee
no
grauen
Image
&c.
Thou
shalt
not
bow
downe
to
them
,
neither
serue
them
,
&c.
But
aboue
In
briefe
,
since
in
the
Romane
Church
,
vnder
the
Popes
authoritie
,
so
many
errours
are
defended
and
maintained
(
both
by
fire
and
bloud
)
against
God
,
his
holy
word
and
commaundements
,
and
(
beyond
al
other
)
against
the
merits
and
benefits
,
ensuing
onely
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
Iesus
:
wee
may
seriously
enter
into
consideration
,
if
he
deserue
not
truely
to
bee
called
,
the
man
of
sinne
,
the
sonne
of
perdition
,
that
opposeth
and
aduanceth
himselfe
,
against
all
that
is
called
God
,
or
tendeth
to
his
honour
.
For
he
sitteth
as
God
,
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
shewing
him selfe
as
if
hee
were
God
,
as
saint
Paule
writeth
to
the
Thessalonians
That
his
kingdome
was
not
of
this
world
,
and
fled
away
To
feede
the
flocke
of
Christ
.
Not
as
if
they
were
Lords
ouer
Gods
heritage
,
but
that
they
might
be
examples
to
the
flocke
.
To
the
end
,
that
when
the
chiefe
sheepeheard
shall
appeare
,
they
might
receiue
an
incorruptible
crowne
of
glorie
.
It
followes
not
(
by
his
behauiour
)
that
he
should
be
the
Vicar
of
Christ
,
nor
the
successour
of
Saint
Peter
:
much
lesse
then
is
he
worthy
,
to
sit
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
make
himselfe
honoured
as
a
God
.
Therefore
,
before
I
conclude
,
addressing
my selfe
to
you
my
Masters
of
the
Romane
Church
:
Beholde
heere
the
important
motiues
and
grounds
,
which
haue
moued
me
,
to
forsake
your
said
Church
,
following
the
Lords
commaundement
,
in
the
Reuelation
:
Goe
out
of
Babilon
,
my
people
,
that
yee
bee
not
partakers
of
her
sinnes
,
and
that
yee
receiue
not
of
her
plagues
.
And
not
(
as
I
protest
here
before
God
)
on
any
inconstant
humour
doe
I
this
,
for
affection
to
noueltie
,
for
reuenge
against
any
one
of
you
,
neither
to
auoide
any
punishment
to
bee
inflicted
on
my selfe
:
as
(
in
your
own
soules
)
you
are
my
faithful
witnesses
.
Nor
yet
to
procure
any
repose
,
or
carnall
liberty
to
my selfe
:
but
only
for
giuing
the
glorie
due
to
God
,
&
to
attaine
the
saluation
of
mine
owne
soule
.
Praying
to
the
Almighty
,
who
hath
deigned
thus
to
visite
mee
in
his
mercie
,
that
it
would
please
him
to
extend
the
same
goodnesse
towardes
you
,
and
deliuer
you
out
of
that
deadly
sinck
of
ignorance
.
And
so
,
to
him
that
is
King
of
Kings
,
immortall
,
inuisible
,
and
our
onely
wise
God
,
bee
all
honour
and
power
ascribed
eternally
.
Amen

WE

whose
names
are
hereunder
written
,
the
Pastour
and
Elders
of
the
reformed
Church
of
Mello
in
Poictu
,
doe
testifie
,
that
this
day
,
being
the
22.
day
of
December
,
1603.
Master
Daniell
Dusert
,
(
a
natiue
of
Cincte-gauelle
,
in
Languedoc
,
and
heretofore
a
Religious
Fryer
,
of
the
Order
of
Saint
Frances
,
called
the
Reformed
Order
in
the
Couent
at
Tholouse
)
did
come
(
of
himselfe
)
before
vs
,
and
declaring
,
that
hee
,
hauing
taken
good
notice
of
the
errours
of
the
Romane
Church
,
being
contrarie
to
the
conformitie
vsed
in
the
Church
reformed
,
and
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
desired
that
we
would
lend
him
a
hand
,
to
entertaine
him
among
the
number
of
that
holy
flock
.
Vpon
this
declaration
made
,
we
examined
him
on
the
principall
Articles
of
true
Religion
,
and
finde
in
him
,
that
he
comes
not
any
way
polluted
among
vs
,
nor
suffers
himselfe
to
be
transported
in
in
this
his
change
,
by
giddie
inconstancie
:
nor
seekes
to
exempt
himselfe
from
the
austerities
,
vsed
in
the
Religion
he
professed
before
:
nor
yet
to
procure
him
any
Licence
to
carnall
libertie
.
In
breefe
,
he
hopes
not
to
attaine
among
vs
,
any
honours
and
treasures
of
the
world
:
Christ
calling
his
followers
here
on
earth
,
to
the
Communion
of
the
Cup
of
his
Crosse
,
and
his
sufferings
.
To
these
protestations
,
he
hath
added
withall
,
that
hee
hath
no
other
aime
,
but
the
quiet
of
his
conscience
,
and
saluation
of
his
soule
.
And
after
he
had
publickly
made
his
abiuration
of
the
doctrine
of
the
Romish
Church
,
and
solemnly
protested
,
to
liue
and
die
in
that
of
the
Church
reformed
(
according
to
the
Articles
before
openly
pronounced
)
we
receiued
him
as
a
member
thereof
,
and
gaue
him
this
present
attestation
,
to
stead
him
vpon
any
neede
thereof
