But Christ will say to them as to that woman ye worship that which ye know not Away with your wicked and wil-worship I will be worshipped according to my word The great hinderance saith the Iesuite Acosta to the plantation of the Roman Faith among the Indians Ex inueterata consuetudine proficiscitur proceeds from their ancient custome wherein before they were inured and from it hardly reclaimed and as the Iesuite Xauerius saith Indi ne Christiani fierent hanc causam afferebant so à maioribus suis semper cultores extitisse c. The Indians that they should not be made Christians alleadged this cause that they had alwayes beene worshippers according to their Forefathers The same is the answere of many Papists We serue God as our Fathers did and yet the Lord saith to all walke not in the ordinances of your Forefathers neither obserue their manners nor defile your selues with their Idols I am the Lord your God walke in my Statutes c.

The Holy Scripture is of the greatest antiquity and that Church whose doctrine agrees with it is most ancient Yet Martin Luther is more ancient then your Tridentine Fathers and brood of Iesuites the Atlasses to support your falling Church But many hundred yeeres before Luthers dayes there wanted not famous and zealous men who resisted the corrupt doctrine of the Church of Rome the persons and the points the time when in all Ages are compendiously recited by a iudicious and very learned Diuine of our Church to whose Booke for breuity sake I referre my Reader The nakednesse of the Roman Diana was discouered long agoe for which dscouery many good men haue beene Acteon-like hunted by bloody hounds to death Corruptions spread by degrees Et tanquam cancer serpit as Espencaeus creepes stealing like a Canker infects one part then another Such hath beene the malady of the Church of Rome their creeping corruptions canker-like first one part then another point that it is hard to set downe the precise time when these corruptions ingendered The Greekes debated long on this probleme The ship Argos wherin Iason sayled for the golden Flecce after the voyage ended was laied vp in the roade for a Monument where decaying by degrees it was repaired by peeces anew in the end the whole substance of the vessell extinct and nothing left but onely the reparations successiuely made Now the question was whether-this ship suppose it Peters were the same that he sayled in when he liued or an other renewed and whether can any man tell when such a peece was added such a part supplied And if this cannot be so precisely shewed doth it follow infallibly that it was the very Argosie wherein Iason sayled So in this case their ship their Church so often peeced so many new points added euery Pope almost changing his Predecessors decrees abrogating this point and augmenting it with another that it is indeed a new ship and can iustly pleade no great antiquity And for vniuersality and vnity in Doctrine no Church so much diuided VVe doe reade how Popes vsually haue condemned that which other Popes haue confirmed Councels contradicted that which others haue concluded Their outcries in Schooles Pulpets Consistories one against another makes their diuision and difcord audible That we may say of them which Lucian of the old Phlosophers With the noise of their disputations they haue so filled the eares of Iupiter and made him deafe that he cannot heare their prayers How irreconciliable are the iars and contentions of Scotus Aquinas Egidius Romanus and others that they imitate the wranglings of the old Academicks Stoicks and Peripatetickes Haue they not Families of the Schoolemen wherein euery one professeth his particular Sect-Master Thomas Scotus Occham Durandus both Masters and Scholers haue spent their lines and liues in opposition The Dominican and Franciscan Friers many ages quarrelling about the conception of the Virgin Mary Their writers sharping their pens one against another Armachanus against the Friers the Iesuites and secular Priests one against another Catharinus against Caietan Catharinus and Soto one against another Pighius Gropper B●rus Peresius Cassander Hosius Almayne c great pillars of Popery some fourescore yeeres agoe are now by late Iesuites contemned and confuted who knoweth not saith Bellarmine that Pighius in many points was miserably seduced by reading Caluins Bookes and of Gropper and other Diuines of Collen he saith Their Bookes haue need of the Churches censure Yea are not the writers of the last stampe euen Bellarmine Gregory of Valence Stapleton Suarez Vasquez Molina Baronius c vp to the eares in contention and faction among themselues Bellarmine confuted by Bar●layus Suarez Carerius Marsilius yea Bellarmine hath often confuted himselfe by contradictions Suarez confuted by Vasques Baronius by
