ioyne my selfe vnto them who were hereticks and absolute and manifest Schismaticks In olde time so great was the crast of a fewe Arians in the Councell of Arminium that by a cunning sleight they almost drew all the Catholicks to seeme Arians And then saith our St. Hierome against the Luciferians all the world lamented and wondred how it became infected with Aranisme But with griefe I speake it so it happened vnto me and much worse and I would wonder and mourne to see my selfe an heretick among hereticks and a Schismatick with Schismaticks But heerein let not the English complaine that I wrong them but rather let them plainely know that I haue done well and as I ought to doe in departing from them and returning vnto my mother the holy woman-Church And as for the laying open of their heresie and Schisme I am compelled to doe it for that it is not fit for mee to be poysoned any longer therewith 8 Concerning Religion there are in England sundry Sects There are Puritanes that is the rigid Caluinists There are some milder who call themselues onely Protestants and reformed There are Anabaptists who are also deuided into diuers Sects There wanteth not Arians nor Photinians and such a like mish-mash of wicked people who though they be not permitted to professe their errours publiquely yet are they not cast forth of their Church nor punished but tollerated whilest they publish their poyson Moreouer that the Anabaptists swarme with heresies none but the Annabaptist himselfe will denie it yet they haue their free meetings in England and the Kings Matestie one day tolde me that lately at London a woman did in an assembly of Anabaptists both make a publicke Sermon and also administer their supposed Sacraments The heresies of the Puritanes are well knowne which are these That there is no free will That God is the Author of sinne That God for his pleafure condemneth many without cause That Christ did not dye for all men That Christ did sustaine the paines of the damned That Infants dying after Baptisme may be damned c. The milder Protestants although they endeauour by all meanes to free themselues for as much as concerneth their opinions from heresie for that they seeme neither wholly to follow Luther nor Caluine but the pure Doctrine of the English Church which they call reformed yet can they not be free from the heresie both of the Puritanes and Anabaptists for that they communicate with them without scruple and if any Puritane or Anabaptist come to their Ecclesiasticall assemblies they neither auoyde nor exclude him And the Puritane Ministers who are almost all wholly infected with all heresies or at least with the heresies of Caluine doe administer the very Sacraments of this false English Church And if that Acatius of Constantinople because he communicated with Petrus Moggus an hereticke of Alexandria if all the East because it persisted in the communion of Acatius was seperated by a long enduring curse from the West how much more are all the English Protestants to be accounted hereticks for that they doe communicate continually with hereticks and doe neither condemne them nor seperate themselues from them but admit them euen when they communicate with them in diuine things Doth not the deformed English Church publickly and openly professe a communion and Ecclesiasticall league with Geneua the mother of the Puritanes and other outlandish Sects infected with Caluinian poyson In the Royall Citie of London by publicke leaue of the King are not the Churches of the French Dutch and Italian Caluinists open and esteemed most louing Sisters of the English Synagogue although they detest the English doctrine profession and rites and be the chiefest fauourers and promoters of Puritanisme in England And also the English Synagogue as much as in her lyeth is most ready to communicate with the Lutherans being polluted with the filthy dregges of many heresies and earnestly laboureth that these Monsters may growe vp together with her into one Hydra that there may be made an vnion of all the reformed Churches as they call them and yet haue no care nor take any paynes to purge their faith and doctrine and pull vp their heresies although the Lutherans hate the Sacramentaries worse then the dogge doth the Snake Of the other English heresies about Faith and Workes and Iustification about the blessed Sacrament and priuate Masses about Merits and inuocation of Saints the veneration of holy Images holy Ceremonies the soules of the departed and the like which these hereticks condemne in their hereticall spirit and which I also in their companies with the same spirit of heresie in former time haue in some part condemned it is not now my intent to speake much by and by I will giue them a touch according to the nature of this place at some other time I will speake more largely of them now I come to speake of their Schisme I haue no doubt at all but that the English Sect which the stayned English call the reformed Church is much more deuided and seperated from the true Catholicke Church then Brittany it selfe is deuided from the rest of the world They themselues will willingly confesse and it is a thing of it selfe most manifest that they are wholy deuided seperated from the Church of Rome and from all the Churches which are subiect vnto her and liue in community with her And seeing that the Romane Church with those which adheare vnto her is according to Catholicke faith truly and properly the Catholicke Church of Christ Doth it not then necessarily follow that the English congregation which they call a Church is altogether seperated from the true Catholicke Church and consequently neither to be the body of Christ nor the house of God nor absolutely a Church which thing as soone as I plainely vnderstood I could not stay any longer in it But they will say it appeareth now vnto thee so who yet in thy bookes of Ecclesiasticall Common-wealth hast called Rome Babylon who hast denied that there was any Church in Rome and also hast taught vs that it was properly a Schismaticall Church But that which thou fayest of our Church is not manifest vnto vs Wherefore I will endeauour that it may be also manifest vnto the English They know very well that I am not Pythagoras whose onely authority amongst his Schollers was accepted for proofe wherefore they should not haue beene moued at these things I spake seeing they were but have astertions and for this cause my words euen yet are vaine for when I bring forth the proofes and examples they are without force and ground The reason whereupon sgrounded my position of Rome to be Babtlon was because the Prophesie in the 18. of the Apocalips could not be interpreted of Rome before it receiued the Christian faith and whilst it was the habitation of the Gentiles But this reason is of no force for suppose that it were true yet it doth not follow that Rome being now Christian should
