Of the Ioyes of Eternall life And how the Sacramentaries do in part defraude 〈◊〉 of them Now from all the premises aboue I hau● conclude that if the seuerall opinions among the Protestants be not in their iudgement maters of Indifferency but are by thēselues truly reputed for Heresies the maintayners of them not houldden to be in state of Saluation as appeareth both from the Protestants reciprocall cōdemnations of one another as also from the former Titles of their owne Bookes written agaynst one another then with much more reason may the same sentence be pronounced of the many irreconciliable Controuersies differently belieued and houlden by the Catholikes and Protestants And the rather since as is aboue sayd there is a farre greater disparity and difference of doctrine betweene the Catholikes and the Protestants then betweene the Protestant the Protestant THE TRVTH OF THIS FORMER Doctrine demonstrated from the many Absurdityes necessarily accompanying the contrary doctrine CHAP. XVI SVCH is the sweet Prouidence of the Diuine Maiesty in disposall of thinges as that he euer causeth truth to be warranted with many irrefragable reasons and falshood to be attended on with diuers grosse and ineuitable absurdityes that so the iudgment of man may be the better secured for the imbracing of truth and remayne the lesse excusable if in place of truth it entertayne falshood Errour Of the reasons conuincing the infallible truth of our doctrine maintayned in this treatise I haue already discussed aboue in the tenth Chapter Now heere I will a little insist in disclosing the many and palpable absurdities accompanying the contrary doctrine which point will chiefly rest besides some other short insertions in a recapitulation of most of the former heads or braunches aboue handled For if this doctrine were true to wit that euery one might be saued in his owne Religion or that the beliefe only of the Trinity the Incarnation the Passion or the Creed were sufficient thereto notwithstāding the beliefe of other erroneous opinions and heresies Then would it follow First that the holy Scriptures of Christ and his Apostles were most false which haue inueyghed so much agaynst Heresies and haue denounced the heauy iudgment of damnation agaynst the professours of them as aboue is shewed which comminations and threats the scripture in some places not only extendeth to all Hersies or Heretikes in generall without (a) Tit. 3. Gal. c. 5. Rom. c. 16. 1. Tim. 1. any limitation but also in some other they are particulerly restrayded to certayne Heresies seeming of smaller importance then the denyall of the Trinity the Incarnation the Passion the Creed c. as is euident touching the denying (b) 1. Tim. cap. 4.2 Tim. c. 2.1 Ioan. c. 2. of marriage and of eating of certayne meates and touching the Natures of Christ c. Now that the denyall of other inferiour articles of fayth then of the Trinity Incarnation c. is playne Heresy is demonstrated aboue both from the definition of Heresy and from the iudgment of the Primitiue Church Secondly the foresayd doctrine impugneth the definition of Fayth giuen by the (f) Hebr. c. 11. Apostle which definition of fayth comprehendeth a generall beliefe of all articles of Christian Religion and is not therefore to be limited to any one kind of them In like sort it destroyeth the priuiledges dignity of fayth set down by the foresayd Apostle who (g) Mat. vltimo Hebr. 11. promiseth saluation to him that hath faith as also that without fayth we cannot (h) Ephes 4. Act. 4. Rom. 12. c. please God but such excellencies cannot be ascribed to a Bastard fayth which belieueth some thinges true others false they are therfore eyther to be giuen to a true entire and perfect fayth in all points or els the Apostle grossely erred in assigning to fayth the aforesayd priuiledges seing a false fayth is no better then no faith at all Againe it depriueth a Christian faith of its true mark or character of Vnity so much celebrated by the (h) Ephes 4. Rom. 12. vide Cant. c. 6. Apostle Now then if Vnity of fayth be necessary to Saluation how can both Protestants and Catholikes expect saluation seeing there is no greater distance betweene the opposite parts of a Diameter then there is

fundamentall points of the Trinity Incarnation c. but differing mainly in all other points of Religion yet neuerthelesse promiscuously communicating one with another in prayer and the Sacraments can ioyntly be saued especially seeing it is certayne that the one part defendeth not matters of Indifferency as is commōly supposed but iniustifiable errours or rather to speake as the truth is manifest and grosse Heresies THE SAME PROVED FROM the writings of the Catholikes and Protestants wherein reciprocally they charge one another with Heresy Also from the Insurrections War and Rebellions begun only for Religion CHAP. XIIII IF there were no other reason to be alleadged in disproofe confutation of this plurality of Religions them this following it might seeme fully preuayling in all cleare iudgements not wholy darkened with the myst of earthly and temporall respects It is this First the wonderfull and implacable Bookwarrs between Catholikes and Protestants wholy vndertaken in defence of their seuerall Religions and yet both the Catholikes and the Protestants professe to belieue in the Trinity the Incarnation the Passion c. Secondly the pressures and calamities with which diuers states and countreyes do afflict other states as also the Insurrection of Subiects agaynst their naturall Princes only for difference of Religion not contayning themselues till they burst forth into open hostility and armes for defending their owne Religion subuerting of the others Touching the first good God! how many men on all sides since the first appearing of Luther haue spent their whole times all their seruiceable yeares in writing disputing and preaching in defence of their owne Religion impugning of their aduersaryes accounting the maintayners belieuers thereof as Heretikes pronouncing eternall damnation agaynst them Witnesses hereof are the Libraryes of all the famous vniuersities of Christendome the Stationers shoppes in all great Cittyes and lastly the Annuall Mart of Bookes returned these many yeares from Frankford And is ●t possible that so much paynes trauayle labour of writing and otherwise accompanyed with so great charges should be vndertaken for questions only of Indifferency such as it importeth nothing at all touching ●he gayning of Heauen and auoyding of Hell what a man belieueth therein or of what side he relyeth Concerning the second point which is ●he calamityes afflictions warres which liuers States Countreyes and Kingdomes ●oe prosecute agaynst their neighbours and ●ll originally for matter of Religion ●s also touching the open rebellion of the Subiects agaynst their lawfull Soueraignes ●nly for the sayd occasion the last fifty yeares as also these very tymes do giue ouerlamētable examples hereof Witnesses of this matter purposely to forbeare the presidents of our own Coūtrey is Scotlād into which Countrey Knox Goodman and Bucanan with other their Agents and confederates first introduced Protestancy by force and armes A point so acknowledged that Docto● Bancroft late pretēded A chbishop of Canterbury as wholly inu●yghing agaynst suc● violent proceedings made a booke of tha● subiect entituling it Of the proceedings of th● Scottish Mynisters according to the Geneuian rule of Reformation Touching France who knoweth not that for this last fifty yeares till the last King of France became Catholike there haue by alwayes almost open warres betweene the State of France the Hugnotts of France vndertaken by the Hugnotts only for Religion And doth not the Citty of Rochell with some other Cittyes at this day stand out agaynst their King vnder pretext of defence of their Ghospell The occurrents of the Low Countreys the Hollanders are no lesse remarkable herein of whose first taking of armes agaynst thei● lawfull King only for Religion (a) In Epitom Cent. 16. p. 941. Osiander an earnest Protestant thus confesseth They of the low Countreys by publike wrytings renounced all subiection and obedience to Philip their Lord King And (b) Osiand vbi sup 81. agayne When foure hundred of them of good respect had sued for liberty of Religion and could not preuayle the impatient people stirred vp with fury at Antwerpe and other places of Holland Zeland and Flanders did throw and breake downe Images But of the proceedings Rebellion● of the low Countreymen agaynst their King only for cause of Religion it is needles to speake further seeing it is too well known to all men of any impartiall iudgment and vnderstanding I will not much insist in the Example of Switzerland which consisting of twelue or thirteene Cantons or Shyres halfe of the number of them did * See of this Osiander in Epitom Eccles histor Cen. 16. pag. 103. as also D. Bancroft in his suruey p. 13. and Cochlaeus in actis Lutheri ryse vp in armes against the other and by force of armes did set vp the Protestant Religion among them And so the halfe of the Cantons doe continue Protestant to this very day The battalls fought among them only for Religiō were many and most cruell and in one of them Zwinglius the chiefe inciter of the rest was slayne I passe ouer Geneua which Citty as the whole world knoweth did first withdraw it selfe from the allegiance of their temporall Liege Lord only by reason that agaynst his will and pleasure they would professe the Protestant Religion and so accordingly to this day they haue made themselues a State or Commonwealth wholly independent of Sauoy of which Citty thus D. (b) In his answere to a certayne libel supplicatory pag. 194. Sutcliffe confessedly wryteth They of Geneua did depose their Catholike Liege Lord and Prince from his temporall right albeit he was by right of succession their temporall Lord and owner of that Citty Territory In like sort I pretermit the many like examples of the Commons rysing agaynst their lawfull Princes and magistrates in (c) See Chitraeus in Chron 1593. 1594. Sueueland (d) See hereof the acknowledgment of M. Fulke in his answere to Farines declamations p. 35. Denmarke (e) See Osiander hereof in Epitom Cent. 16. pag. 115. Poland and (f) See the acknowledgement hereof by D. Bilson in his true defence part 3. pag. 270. 273. Germany And which rysings Insurrections and rebellions were originally vndertaken only for Religion and haue no doubt since Luthers first breach cost the liues in all places of many hundred thousand men haue actually deposed disthroned diuers Kings and Princes of their states and territoryes These things then for their euidency being cōfessed for true vndeniable many of which yet remayne fresh in our owne memory of the nature of which Actions I wil not heere dispute only I heere vrge that it is more then incredible that such rebellions and deuastations of Countreyes besieging of Cittyes deposing of Princes slaughter of so many hundred thousands of men should be practised almost throughout all Christendome within this last threescore yeares o●ly for admitting or not admitting the differences betweene the Protestants Catholikes Religion if both the contrary partyes were not persuaded
