forgiuenes of our sinnes and eternall saluation The Papists say It is presumption to be assured of saluation and will haue men to doubt thereof the which is contrary to the nature of true faith They call the certaintie of remission of sinnes a faithles perswasion and the faith of diuels not of Apostles Concil Trid. Sess 6 cap. 9.12 13. Rhemists Annot. 1. Cor. 9. Sect. 9. DIALOGVE 2. C. Shew me I pray you what things in particular they teach contrary to any Article of the Creed M. I could shew you many but I feare that then I should be tedious to you I will therefore set downe onely the chiefest In the second and third Article is described and set foorth vnto vs both the person office of our Mediator namely that he is both God and man a Prophet Priest and King Concerning his person although in words they confesse him to be God and man yet indéed they deny it for they ascribe to him a body inuisible and infinite they teach that hee is corporally present in infinite places at once which is proper onely to God and contrary to the nature of a true body And so in effect they do euen deny his Man-hood The Sonne of God is called Iesus because he is a Sauiour yea the onely and perfect Sauiour which saueth vs from our sinnes that is hath deliuered vs not onely from the blame or guiltines but fully also from the punishment due to our sinnes Mat. 1.21 Acts 4.12 Heb. 7.25 The Papists teach that there must also some satisfaction of our owne come to make vp our perfect Redemption Concil Trid. Sess 14.6.8 Can. 11.15 They will not be saued only by IESVS CHRIST but by the merits also of Saints their owne merits Popes pardons c. yea they ascribe that to others which is proper to Christ alone and so consequently make them their Sauiours As for example They ascribe to S. Francis the same titles properties power and the very same office due to Iesus Christ in all respects they make him like to Christ whatsoeuer Christ did that as they say did S. Francis And what is this in effect but to make him their Sauiour That they do ascribe the former things to S. Francis is to be séene in a booke written on purpose to shew the conformity betwéen him and Christ called The Conformity of Francis the which hath bin confirmed by the authority of the Church of Rome Pope Gregory the Ninth inioyned the faithfull to hold and firmely to beléeue the things taught in the said booke concerning S. Francis and that he should be punished as an Heretike that would thinke the contrary Confor F. 2. lib. 1 Fol. 3. C. To whom else doe they ascribe that which is proper to Iesus Christ M. To the Virgin Mary They describe her nature by her name Maria consisting of fiue letters and these as they say doe import the fiue offices to be exercised by her toward vs. The first is Maternitatis of Mother-hood signified by the letter M for shée as they say is the mother of mercy through whom wée obtaine mercy Her second office is Conseruationis of conseruing the treasure of God signified by the letter A which representeth Arcam thesauri the chest of treasure for in her as they say we shall finde an infinite treasure of the wisdome and grace of God Her third office is Directionis et gubernationis of direction and gouerning by example of her life This is imported by the letter R. and therefore shée is named Regina the Quéene Her fourth office is Iaculationis et repulsionis inimicorum of flinging and repelling back of enemies signified by the letter I and therefore they pray thus to her Tu nos ab hoste protege et hora mortis suscipe Protect thou vs from the enemie and receiue vs at the houre of death Her last Office is Aduocati●nis of Aduocation imported by the letter A. from whence they pray thus O our aduocate turne thy mercifull eyes vnto vs. And what doe they héerein but euen place her in the roome of Iesus and make her their Sauiour These are the very words of Fryer Iohn Viguerius a Doctour yea and a publike professour of diuinity among them in his Institutions to his Catholike Theologie Cap. 20. Sect. 9. Fol. 214. And heerein he is like to such as can make Bells to sound euen what pleaseth their phantasticall braine and as best may féed their superstitions humours Further they say that shée is the originall or our saluation the recouerer of grace and forgiuenes our hope our saluation resurrection c. yea that to her it is giuen to bruise the Serpents head that shée hath done it and procured that peace betwéene God and man which no man could procure Viguerius Ibid. 214.215 Confor Fran. in conclus lib. 1. Is not this to make her a Sauiour C. Surely yes and I thinke it most horrible blasphemie M. Account you this blasphemy what say you then to that which Carolus Scribanius a Iesuit hath written of her As namely First that the milke of Mary may come into comparison with the bloud of Christ Secondly that the Christian mans faith may lawfully take hold of both as well as one Thirdly that the best compound for a sick soule is to mix together her milk and Christs bloud Fourthly that the sinnes and spirituall diseases of the soule are cured aswel by her milk as by his bloud Fiftly that her milk and the merit and vertue of it is more precious and excellent then Christs bloud These most horrible blasphemies with many such like are to be found in the aforesaid Iesuits book which M. C. hath put into English and sufficiently answered calling it The Iesuits Gospell Besides all these things in a book called The Ladies Psalter they haue put out the word Lord and put in the word Lady As for example Psalm 110.1 The Lord said vnto our Lady Sit thou mother at my right hand c. The like they doe in the rest of the Psalmes And is not this good stuffe thinke you C. These books were written long agone and it may be that they are now reiected by the Papists M. The latter of them was indéede written long agone but is not reiected but stands vncontrouled or rather defended by the Iesuits and those of the principall The former was written but lately And whereas both the Author and his book as M. C. saith deserued the fire and halter it was so farre from béeing misliked in the Romish Synagogue or any way censured that the booke hath béene reprinted and the Authour and his book stand enrolled approoued and commended in their great volumes set out for that purpose for good and Catholike As they place S. Francis and the Virgin Mary in Christs roome so doe they the Pope also ascribing that to him which is proper vnto Iesus Christ and may not without blasphemie be ascribed to any creature They say that the Pope is the Sunne the
