But I haue praied for thee that thy saith saile not therefore when thou art conuerted strengthen thy brethren FOure places of Scripture are abused by the Papists aboue the rest First those words of Christ Vpon this Rocke I will build my Church Secondly his words at his last supper This is my bodie Thirdly his speech to Peter after his resurrection Feed my sheepe Lastly these to Peter afore his passion I haue praied for thee that thy faith faile not These last Bellarmine likes so well that ten times he allegeth them in one of his Tomes and makes them serue not for one but many purposes Hence he can prooue that the Pope is the supreme and infallible Iudge of all controuersies Why Because Christ saith to Peter I have praicd for thee that thy faith faile not Hence he can prooue that Peter is the head and prince of his brethren Why Because he is bid to strengthen his brethren Hence hee can prooue that the Pope cannot erre in matter of faith because Christ praied that Peters faith might not faile Hence he will proue that Peter hath more and greater priuileges then the whole Church nay this serues his turne to prooue that Councels cannot erre if they be confirmed by the Pope Lastly he can prooue from this that it is probable the Pope as he is a priuate person cannot bee an heretike Such plentifull vse can Bellarmine make of any peece of Scripture if he thinke it doe but sound for him But I dare say the Scripture that the diuell brought against Christ was as fitly and properly alleged as some of these are by Bellarmine as may be euidently shewed in another place and time But seeing the primitiue fathers haue made no such conclusions from this place therefore out of their and the latter Fathers exposition wee haue gathered another kinde of diuinity from these words To which end I first lay down this general ground Christ is our true and spirituall physitian from whom and the vertue of whose merits we must receiue all the spirituall physicke that can cure and saue our sinfull soules Particularly as the body so the soule stands in need of three sorts of physicke First it is necessarie that it be purged from the corruption of sinne which else will kill the soule then being purged it is to be restored to life and strength lastly being so restored it is requisite that it bee preserued in that state vnto the end Answerable vnto these there is a threefold kinde of physicke wee receiue from Christ viz. purgatiue restoratiue and preseruatiue First purgatiue to purge our soules from the corrupt humours and the infectious staine of sinne and this powerfull potion is confected of the precious merits of the death and passion of our Lord Iesus Christ who died that we might die to sinne and our sinnes die in vs and was crucified that our sinnes might be nailed on his crosse and buried that our sinnes might so die that they may neuer liue againe in vs. But when a sicke man is purged of all his euill humours it helpeth not if he be not also restored to strength Therefore secondly wee receiue also from Christ restoratiue physicke such as whereby we are restored to the life of grace and fauour of God And this comfortable restoratiue balme distils from the glorious merits of the resurrection of Christ who as he died for our sinnes so hee rose againe for our iustification and who therefore rose from death to life that he might merit grace for vs whereby wee may rise vp from the death of our sinnes to newnesse and holinesse of life But because it is not sufficient to be restored vnlesse a man be kept in health for that a relapse is more dangerous then the former sicknesse therefore to keepe vs from deadly relapses into which without Christ we were sure to fall we doe finally receiue from Christ preseruatiue physicke by the vertue whereof wee are preserued in the state of grace and fauour of God and these blessed and soueraigne antidotes are confected of the glorious merits of Christ his ascension and intercession who therefore is entred into heauen to appeare now in the sight of God for us Now for the words in hand they speake of the sweet and comfortable Preseruatiues wee receiue from Christ his powerfull intercession as though Christ had said I confesse Peter thou art a great professor and protester but little knowest thou how mighty thy enemy is and how weake thy selfe
