Couell writeth in these words The protestant Bishop of London Ridley a cheefe martyr with M. Foxe wrote vnto M. Grindall after their protestant Arâ—hbishop of Canterbury that a man of witâ— and learninge may finde to make apparant reasons against the booke of common prayer Then I may first conclude that this their pseudomartyr practizing that Booke and seruice against witt and learninge was either vnlearned and wittles or without Religion grace and conscience or both as others succeding vnto him bee by his Censure and such Booke and seruice not to bee communicated with And to shew that this opinion of their Bishop Ridley was not singular but common amonge those first protestants he writeth thus in another treatise The first protestants of this kingdome in a letter Couell â—xaÌ„ pag. 72. subscribed with eleuen of their hands whereof Knoxe Gilby Whittingam Goodman were foure moste of them suerly hauing both learninge iudgment call the english protestant Ceremonies trifles and superfluous Ceremonies From whence I first conclude that their seruice soe censured with soe many learned and iudicious men as this protestant esteemeth them may not bee communâ—cated with Secondly I conclude this their protestant Religion and seruice to bee new against all former churches and ages and soe hereticall For hee calleth those Censurers of the communion Booke first deuised vnder kinge Edward 6. The first protestants of this kingdome Therefore this their

religion neuer maintayned or taught before is new and hereticall For Scotland this protestant Doctor hath told vs before that Knoxe their cheife protestant disallowed this their seruice which hee testifieth alsoe in his booke against Burges in these words Knoxe disallovved the communion booke Conell against Burg pag. 69. And the same of Knoxe was soe highely applauded with protestants That D. Sutcliffe hath tolde vs before that their Brethren in Scotland had imposition of hands from Knoxe therefore Knoxe not being a Bâ—shop must needs bee an Apostle extraordinarie or greater in his iudgment For France and Suitcerland Caluine and Bucer are renowned amonge protestants and Couell sup pa. 69. 122. pag 47. yett the same protestant Doctor writeth thus Bucer Censured the communion booke Caluine censured the communion booke to conteyne many fooleries And in an other booke in this maner Examinat pag. 185. Caluiue Whoe was in maner of an Oracle of God to all churches that were reformed gaue this Censure of the englisâ— communion booke translated into latine to haue his iudgment of it that many foolish things Were in yt not that puritie which was to bee desired vvas to bee filed from the rust corrected and many things cleane taken avvay For Germanie the protestant Author of the Relation of the state of religion hath these words The princes and people in Germanie haue Caluinists Relation of Relig. â— 45. in greate detestation not for bearing to professe openly they vvill returne to the papacie rather then euer admitt that sacrameÌ„tarie predestinarie pestilence Therefore Catholicks may not communicate with their country protestants in their english seruice soe generally condemned both by themselues and all forreyne protestants Againe I argue thus Noe seruice or fashion of prayer and Sacraments that is by the practizers of them and those which in their IudgmeÌ„t agree with them in all materiall points condemned to haue grosse errors manifest impieties grosse and palpable repugnancie euen in necessarie and essentiall points of Religion misapplyeth scriptures to countenance errors is naught and may bee communicated with But the english protestant seruice and Booke thereof is such therefore not to bee communicated with The maior proposition is euidently true And the minor is thus proued by these protestants M. Ormerod recordeth the Censure of english protestants vppon it in these words The booke Ormerod dial 1. of common prayers and the vvhole order of protestants seruice is coÌ„demned And to shew that they which thus censured it were allowed teaâ—hers and preachers amonge them hee addeth Ormer pict purit d 3. thus in an other book preachers in their verball sermâ—nâ— speake against the state ecclesiasticall tâ—e â—ooke of common prayer and the Ceremonies of the church of England D.

the pretended english Bishops made either by vertue of the Queenes letters patents or commission as the wordes of the statute bee as kinge Edward made Ihon of Alasco or by the new toyeish booke of ordination or otherwise and their ministery deriued from them is voide ridiculous and vsurped none at all But before I conclude this Chapter because I meruaile more then vrgent occasions mouinge me with what colour of reason or least shewe of common ciuilitie this false adulterate vnsacrificing pretended ministery foretold by that badge of taking away the publick sacrifice and making them preists that are mere lay men by that Holy Bishop S.

Hitherto the exemption of their lawe which by noe meanes possible can bee applyed to their english ministers none of them being in either of those onely two exempted cases Therfore neither by the lawes of God or this kingdome it can bee lawfull to communicate with english ministers in their seruice and Religion without extreame capitall and damnable perill by their owne testimonies M. Speed Theat pag. 421. Speed addeth all communicating with maried preists are excommunicated by generall Councell The 3. particular Protestant Demonstration for Catholicks iust Recusancie is Because the not preaching of the word of God a thinge essentiall to the true church of Cbrist in Protestant doctrine is not amonge them by their owne testimonies AND by this it is euident that they haue not the other two protestant Notes and properties of the true church preaching of the Articu 19. puer worde oÌ„f God and sacraments duely ministred in the congregation of faithfull men for as the sacraments cannot bee duely ministred wherâ— there bee not due Ministers of them soe the puer word of God cannot possibly lawfully and truely bee preached without preachers of yt for sacraments duly ministred and due ministers of them as alsoe the word of God truely preached and true preachers of yt bee correlatiues which mutuÃ² se ponunt aufferunt come and goe together as logitians and reason teach vs. Therfore S.
