Vnwritten Traditions besides some other Catholike points taught by the learned Protestants Here now I demand that if the Protestants Proselyts and followers do belieue their Grand-maisters in diuers points of their owne Religion why then should not they belieue the learned Protestants maintayning our Catholike doctrines ●nt● abstracting from the authority of the Church both the said seuerall sorts of Protestants do maintayne their contrary Tenets euen with equall and indifferent priuiledg of their owne Priuate Spirit Animaduersion CLXXXVIII AS aboue I compared Luther being Catholike touching manners and Conuersation of Lyfe with Luther being Protestant So heere I will make another comparatiue betweene the Liues of Catholikes and of Protestants And here it is to be obserued that I will not compare the most pious men in former tymes with the best of the Protestants nor the worst men for life of the one Religion with the worst of the other but for the greater confronting of our Aduersaries and aduantage to our Catholike Cause I will compare the declining state of Catholike tymes with the best tymes of Protestancy which is presumed to be at the first entrance and beginning of Protestancy when the first Protestants enioyed the ●rimitiae and first fruites of their Religion This point will be made euident euen from the confessions of the Protestants themselues First then we fynd Luther himself thus to write From (n) Luth in postill super Euangel Domini●ae primae Aduentus the tyme in which the pure Doctrine of the Gospell was first reuealed to light the world hath growne dayly worse Men are more reuengefull couetous licentious then they were euer before in the Papacy With whom Musculus agreeth thus complayning hereof Vt verum (o) Musculus in loc com in cap de Decalog pag. 62. ess● fateor c. To confesse the truth men are become so v●●ike themselues that whereas in the P●pacy they were religious in their Errours and Superstition now in the light of the knowne truth they are more propha●● then the very Sonnes of the world I wi●● conclude with the testimony of Erasmus thus discoursing of this point Quos (p) Erasmus Ep. ad fratres Inferioris Germaniae a●tea noueram c. Such men as I knew to be before vpright candid modest and sincere in the● Conuersation after they had embraced th●● new Sect meaning of the Gospell they i●stantly begun to talke of young Women to play● dice to leaue of prayer to be most impatient reuengfull of Iniuries and to conclude to aba●don all humanity expertus loquor Thus far ●rvsmus And thus much of the balancing o● men of these two seuerall Religions No● I heere refer to an indifferent Iudgmen● whether it be not a great blemish to Protestancy that it is confessed by the Prot●stants that the Professours thereof euen 〈◊〉 their best tymes were far worse and mo● wicked in manners then the Catholik●● their worst and most declyning tymes Animaduersion CLXXXIX THe Protestants much solace themsel●● in alledging certaine Texts of Script●● in proofe of Iustification by fayth only wh●● passages being truly weighed are found 〈◊〉 be most weakely or rather impertine●● alledged as in Math. 9. Thy fayth hath s●● thee Iohn 3 Who belieueth in the Sonne h● eternall Lyfe Finally to omit some o●● such seeming Texts Rom. 5. We being ●●●fyed by fayth let vs haue peace towards God T● these and such like I answere and deny that it followeth That Fayth only iustifyeth though only Fayth be named For sometymes also other Vertues are only named or the Sacraments For example Luc. 7. we read Many sinnes are forgiuen her because she loued much Iob. 12. Almes deeds freeth from death Rom. 8. By hope we are saued Finally Titus 3. He hath saued vs by the Lawes of regeneration besydes many other such passages And yet no man will gather from the●e authorities that Charity or Almesdeeds or Hope or Baptisme do iusti●y without Fayth Therfore when many different causes concur to produce one Effect the Scripture ascribeth the same Effect sometymes to one Cause sometymes to another and yet the Scripture doth not intend thereby to signi●y that one cause is sufficient without the other causes Now the reason why the Apostle more frequently attributes Iustification to fayth
