indeede after a new and naughty manner vnderstood that me thought all that conspiracy could by no meanes be destroyed vnlesse that selfe same vndertaken defended commended profession of nouelty had forsaken the alone cause of so great an enterprise To conclude what force had that Affrican Councell or Decree Truly none through the gift of God but all things were abolished made void and troden vnder foot as dreames as fables as things superfluous CHAP. 11. AND ô the wonderfull change of things The Authors of the same opinion are accounted Catholickes but the Followers are iudged Heretickes The Maisters are absolued the Schollers are condemned The writers of the bookes shall bee the children of the Kingdome but Hell shall receiue the Defenders For who would doubt that most blessed Cyprian the Light of all the Saints both Bishops and Martyrs together with the rest of his fellowes shall reigne eternally with Christ Or who on the contrary is so sacrilegious as to deny that the Donatists those other pestilent wretches which doe bragge that they rebaptize by the authority of that Councell shall burne for euer with the Diuell Which iudgement truly to me seemeth to bee promulged of God for their craftinesse especially who when they go about to forge an heresie vnder another bodies name do commonly lay hold of the writings of some ancient man something too couertly set out which in respect of their darknesse doe as it were serue for their owne opinion that that which I know not what they doe bring forth they may seeme to thinke neither first nor all-alone Whose wickednesse I iudge worthy double hatred either therfore because they are not afraid to proffer the poyson of heresie vnto others or therefore also because they do with a wicked hand blow vp and winnow the memory of euery holy man like ashes now raked vp and diffame those things with a reuiued opinion which ought in silence to be buried altogether following the foote-steps of their father Cham who not onely neglected to couer the nakednesse of venerable Noah but told it also to the rest that it might be mocked Whereby hee did so grieuously sinne against child-like piety as that his very posterity became obnoxious to the curses of his sin those brethren being blessed and farre vnlike who would neither distaine the nakednesse of their reuerend father with their owne eies nor haue it lye open vnto other mens but couered him as it is written with their faces backward which is neither to approue nor disclose the error of the holy man and therefore are they blessed in their posterity But let vs returne vnto our purpose CHAP. 12. WE should therefore greatly feare the grieuous sinne of changing the Faith and of stairing Religion from the which wickednesse wee are deterred not onely by the discipline of Ecclesiasticall Constitution but also by the censure of Apostolicall authority For all men know how grauely how seuerely and how earnestly the blessed Apostle Paul inueigheth against some that were too soone through their owne lightnesse translated from him who had called them to the grace of Christ vnto another Gospel which is not another who had heaped to themselues Teachers after their owne desires turning their eares from the truth and turning themselues to fables hauing damnation because they haue broken the first faith Who were by them deceiued of whom the same Apostle writeth to the Romane brethren Now I beseech you brethren marke them that cause dissentions offences otherwise then the doctrine which yee haue learned and auoyd them For such serue not the Lord Christ but their owne belly and by faire speeches and flattering seduce the hearts of the simple which enter into houses and lead captiue silly women laden with sinnes and led with sundry lusts euer learning and neuer coming to the knowledge of the truth Uaine-talkers and Seducers which subuert whole houses teaching things which they should not for filthy Lucre sake Men of corrupt mindes Reprobate concerning the faith proud and knowing nothing but doting about questions and strife of words destitute of the truth imagining that gaine is godlinesse Likewise also being idle they learne to goe about from house to house yea they are also bablers and busi-bodies speaking things they ought not Who repelling a good conscience as concerning faith haue made ship-wracke Whose prophane bablings further much vnto impiety and their word fretteth like a canker And it fitteth well which is also written of them But they shall preuaile no further for their madnesse shal be manifest vnto all as theirs also was When therefore some such wandring vp and downe Countries and Cities carrying about their Pedlary errors had come also to the Galatians and when as the Galatians hauing heard thē being now affected with a certaine loathing of the truth and casting vp the Manna of Apostolicke and Catholicke doctrine delighted themselues in the filthinesse of hereticall nouelty the Apostle did so exercise his Apostolicall authority as that with all seuerity he did decree But though either we saith hee or an Angel from Heauen preach vnto you otherwise then we haue preached let him bee accursed What is that which he saith But though wee Why does hee not rather say But though I The meaning hereof is this Though Peter though Andrew though Iohn Lastly though the whole cōpany of Apostles shold preach to you otherwise then we haue preached Let him bee accursed A terrible Curse that to maintaine the constant embracing of the first faith he neither spared himselfe nor the rest of his Fellow-apostles Yet this is but little Although saith hee an Angell should from heauen preach vnto you otherwise then wee haue preached let him be accursed It sufficed not for the keeping of the faith once deliuered to haue mentioned the nature of Man vnlesse hee had comprehended also the excellency of Angels Though We saith he or an Angell from heauen Not because the holy and heauenly Angels can now offend but this is his meaning If also saith hee that should bee which cannot be Whosoeuer hee be that shall assay to change the faith that was once deliuered let him bee accursed CHAP. 13. BVt hee spake it may bee these things without due regard and vttered them in an humane passion rather thē decreed them with Diuine reason Farre bee it from him for hee goes on and presseth this same point with a very earnest repetition As wee haue said before quoth he so say I now againe If any preach vnto you otherwise then that yee haue receiued let him be accursed He said not If any preach vnto you besides that which ye haue receiued let him bee blessed praised and entertained but let him be quoth he accursed that is separated put from the flock and excluded least the cursed contagion of one Sheep should corrupt the harmelesse flocke of Christ by a venemous mixture

and sound Who to make way for his one heresie inueighed against the blasphemies of all heresies But this was that which Moses saith The Lord your God proueth you whether yee loue him or no. And that we may passe by Nestorius in whom there was alwaies more wonderment then profite and more fame then experience whom the fauour of men rather then of God had for a while aduanced in the opinion of the common people let vs rather speake of those who hauing profited well and being full of industry became no small temptation to Catholike men As in Hungarie in the memory of our Ancesters Photinus is said to haue tempted the Church of Sirmion Where whēas with the great liking of al mē hee was called vnto the priesthood and had executed his office for a time like a Catholike suddenly like that euil Prophet or Dreamer which Moses speaketh of hee began to perswade the people of God committed to his trust to follow after strange gods that is to say strange errours which before they knew not But this is vsuall and that dangerous because hee was furnished with no meane helpes to so great a wickednesse For hee had a good wit and hee was an excellent Scholler and very eloquent or powerfull in speech able in both languages to dispute and write eloquently and substantially as appeareth by the monuments of his bookes which hee hath written partly in Greeke and partly in Latine But it was well that the Sheepe of Christ committed to him being very watchfull and wary for the Catholicke Faith had quicke regard to the words of Moses who did forewarne them and that although they did admire the eloquence of their Prophet and Pastor yet notwithstanding they were not ignorant of the temptation For whō before they followed as the Bel-weather of the Flocke euen him they fled frō afterwards as from a Wolfe Neither do wee come to know the perill of this Ecclesiasticall temptation by the example of Photinus but of Apollinaris also and are therby also admonished to the more diligent keeping of the faith which is to be kept For he made his hearers to haue much a doe and brought them into great straites For whereas the authority of the Church drew them one way the custome or conuersation acquaintance of their Maister drew them backe another way and so wagging and wauering betwixt both they see not which way they should rather chuse But it may be he was a man that might easily bee contemned Yea verily he was so worthy a man and so qualified as that he might in the most things be too soone beleeued For who surpast him in acutenes of wit practise and in Schollership How many heresies hee hath ouerthrown in many volumes how many errours contrary to the faith hee hath confuted that most excellent and very huge worke consisting of no lesse then thirty bookes doth witnesse wherein he hath with a great masse of argumēts confounded the furious cauils of Porphiry It is too long to reckō vp all his workes for the which he might intruth be matched with the chiefest builders of the Church had he not through that wicked lust of hereticall curiosity found out what nouelty I wot not by the which he might both defile all his labours as with the mixture of a certaine leprosie and should haue his doctrine said to be not so much an edification as an Ecclesiasticall tentation Heere perhaps some may require at my hands that I would shew them the heresies of these men of whom we spake before to wit Nestorius Apollinaris and Photinus But this is nothing to the matter which now wee are in hand with For our purpose is not to set downe the errours of all but to shew the examples of a few whereby that may euidently and plainely be cleered which Moses speaketh Namely that if at any time any Ecclesiasticall Teacher and hee a Prophet by reason of interpreting the mysteries of the Prophets shal attempt to bring in some new point of doctrine into the Church of God the Diuine prouidence doth suffer it to be done that We might be proued CHAP. 17. IT will not therefore bee amise by way of digression briefly to shew the opinions of the fore-named heretiques that is Photinus Apollinaris Nestorius This is then the doctrine of Photinus that God is single and alone and to bee confessed after a Iudaicall manner he saith that there are not full three persons neither doth he thinke that there is any person of the Word or Son of God or any of the Holy Ghost he doth also say that Christ is a meere man only to whom he ascribeth a beginning from Mary and this he teacheth by all meanes for a doctrine That we ought to worship onely the person of God the Father and onely Christ the Man These things therefore held Photinus Apollinaris also doth as it were glory that hee doth consent vnto the vnity truly of the Trinity and that with perfect soundnes of faith but he doth by open profession blaspheme against the Incarnation of the Lord. For hee saith that the soule of a man was either not at all in the flesh of our Sauiour or else surely that there was such a one as wanted vnderstanding and reason Yea and he said that the very flesh of our Lord was not of the flesh of the holy Virgin Mary but that it came downe from heauen into the Virgin and alwaies staggering and doubting he said sometimes that it was coëternall with the God the Word sometimes that it was made of the Diuinity of the Word For he would not that two substances should bee in Christ one Diuine and another Humane one of a father the other of a mother but he immagined that the nature of the Word was diuided as though a part thereof remained in God and the other had bene turned into the flesh that whereas the truth saith that of two substances there is one Christ he being opposite to the truth might affirme that of one Diuinity of Christ there are two substances These then are the errours of Apollinaris Now Nestorius being sicke of a contrary disease to Apollinaris whiles he makes fare as if hee did distinguish two substances in Christ all on the sudden hee brings in two persons and with incredible wickednes will haue two Sons of God two Christs One of them God the other Man one that is begotten of a Father the other generated of a Mother and therefore hee doth affirme that holy Mary is not to bee called the Mother of God but the Mother of Christ to wit because of her came not Christ who is God but he which was man If so be that any man thinke that hee saith in his letters that Christ is one and that hee speaks of one person of Christ let him not easily giue credit to him For either hee hath deuised this shift through his skil to deceiue that by good things he might the

great deale of matter in a few words and commonly expressing the thing by some conuenient new tearme for the clearenes of vnderstanding and not for any new meaning of the Faith CHAP. 33. BVt let vs returne vnto the Apostle O Timotheus saith he keepe that which is committed to thee auoiding the profane nouelties of words Auoid them saith he as a Viper as a Scorpion as a Cockatrice that they may not smite thee not onely by touching but by sight also and by breathing What is it to auoid Not to eate meate with such an one What meaneth this Auoide thou If there come any vnto you saith Saint Iohn and bring not this doctrine What doctrine meanes he but the Catholicke and vniuersall which both continueth by an vncorrupted tradition of the truth one the same throughout all succeeding ages and shall continue for euer and for euer without end But what followeth Do not quoth he receiue him to house neither bid ye him God speede For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his euill deeds Profane nouelties of words saith Paul What is profane Such as are altogether voyde of holinesse and religion vtterly strange from the bosome of the Church which is the temple of God Profane nouelties of words saith he nouelties of words that is of doctrines things opinions which nouelties are contrary to antientnesse to antiquity Which if they should be receiued it cannot bee but that the Faith of the blessed Fathers should be violated either all or for a great part thereof at least it must needs bee that all the faithfull of all ages all the Saints all the chaste the continent virgines that all the Cleargy Leuites and Priests that so many thousands of Confessors so great armies of Martyrs so great an assembly and multitude of cities and people that so many Islands Prouinces Kings Nations kingdoms countries and finally that now almost all the world being incorporated into Christ the Head by the Catholicke faith it must needs bee I say that all these aforesaid should be said to haue beene ignorant for so long continuance of time to haue erred to haue blasphemed and not to haue knowen what they should beleeue CHAP. 34. AUoid saith he profane nouelties of words which to receiue and follow was neuer the propertie of Catholickes but alwayes of Heretickes And in truth what heresie was there euer which did not spring vp vnder a certaine name in a certaine place and at a certaine time Who euer brought vp heresies but which first separated himselfe from the viuersall and antient consent of the Catholicke Church Which that it was so examples shew most cleerely For who euer before that prophane Pelagius presumed that the power of Free-will was so great that hee did not thinke that the grace of God was necessary to helpe it in good thngs in euery act Who euer before Celestus his prodigious discipline denyed that all mankind was guilty of Adams transgression Who before sacrilegious Arrius dared to diuide the vnity of the Trinity who durst confound the Trinity of vnity before wicked Sabellius Who before most cruel Nauatianus affirmed that God was cruell for that he had rather the death of him that dyeth then that he should returne and liue Who before Simon the Magitian whom the Apostle cursed from whom that whirle-poole of filthinesses flowed by a continual and hidden succession euen vnto Priscilianus the last and hindermost who I say before that Simon durst affirme that God the Creator is the author of euils that is of our abhominable acts impieties and wicked enormities For he did auouch that God himselfe did with his owne hands create the nature of men so as that by reason of a certaine proper motion or impulsion of a certaine necessary will it could doe nothing else it could will nothing else but commit sin because it being chafed and inflamed with the furies of all vices it is carried by an vnsaciable desire into all the gulfes or whirlepits of dishonest and filthy facts Innumerable examples there are of the like nature which for breuity sake we pretermit by al which yet we haue euidently and clearely inough shewed that this with almost all heresies is solemne as it were and according to Law to delight alwaies in prophane nouelties to contemne the ordinances of Antiquity and through oppositions of knowledge falsly so tearmed to make ship-wracke from the faith On the contrary also this is almost proper vnto Catholickes to keep those things which were left in the custody of the holy Fathers and were committed to them and to condemne prophane nouelties and as the Apostle sayd and sayd againe If any shall preach otherwise then that which was receiued to Anathematize or curse him CHAP. 35. HEere some man perhaps may aske whether Heretickes also do vse the testimonies of the holy Scripture Indeed they vse thē and in truth with vehemency for you may see thē flie through all euery booke of the word of God through the bookes of Moses and of the Kings through the Psalmes Apostles Gospels Prophets For whether it bee amongst their owne Followers or with others whether priuately or publickly whether in Sermons or in Bookes whether at Banquets or in the streetes they neuer almost vtter any thing of their owne which they labour not also to shadow with their words of the Scripture Reade the pamphlets of Paulus Samosatenus of Priscillian Eunomius Iouinian and the rest of those Plagues you may see an infinite masse of examples that no page welneere escapes which is not painted and colored with the sentences of the Old or New Testament But they bee so much the rather to bee taken heede of and feared by how much the more closely they lurke vnder the shadowes of Gods word For they know that their stinking errours would not quikly bee pleasing almost vnto any man if they should bee vented barely and as they are in their owne nature and therefore they bespice them as it were with the word of God that he which would easily despise the errour of man might not easily contemne the Oracles of God They doe therefore as those are wont which being to giue some bitter potions to children for to drinke doe first rub their mouthes about with honey that the silly little ones hauing before felt the sweetenesse might not be afraid of the bitternesse Which thing they also are carefull of which set the names of medicines vpon ill hearbes and hurtfull syrrops that almost no body would suspect poyson where he read a remedy written ouer CHAP. 36. FInally our Sauiour also cried out for the same thing Beware yee of false Prophets which in sheepes cloathing come vnto you but inwardly they are rauening Wolues What is sheepes cloathing but the sentences of the Prophets and Apostles which they with a certaine sheepe-like sincerity haue wouen as certaine fleeces for that immaculate Lambe which
