A16459	A defence of the olde, and true profession of Christianitie against the new, and counterfaite secte of Iesuites, or fellowship of Iesus: Written in Latine by P. Boquine a Frenchman, borne in Borges, & Professor of Diuinitie, in the Vniuersitie of Heidelberge: Translated into Englishe by T. G. Whereby maye bee perceiued, howe falslye the Iesuites vsurpe the name of Iesus, and how farre off they are, from the thing signified thereby, and what their profession, and purpose is in truth: otherwise then they beare the worlde in hande.; Assertio veteris ac veri Christianismi adversus novum et fictum Iesuitismum seu Societatem Iesu.

euerlasting and this life is in his sonne He that hath the sonne hath life he that hath not the sonne hath not life Christ also himselfe hath so depainted and expressed it in that proper allegorie of the vine and the braunch that euerye man may easelye perceyue it And hetherunto doth plainlye belong that the Apostles call him in some places the sauiour of the world Now this title in Gréeke as it very well agreeth with the Hebrue name name whereof I haue spoken before so is it so great if we beléeue Cicero a fitte witnesse herein that it cannot be vttered and expressed with one latine worde For it noteth him that bringeth health or saluation Neither forceth it that this title is geuen somtime to the father and is also yeelded vnto men as to the Iudges of the old people and the ministers of Gods word Rom. 11. and 1. Tim. 4. For that which draweth nothing eyther from the office or honour of Christ but rather streyneth that which hath beene sayde hereof For it is manyfest that the Father as the chiefest fountayne of saluation from whom all saluation floweth vnto the Sonne and is as it were committed vnto him of verye good right is called a Sauiour But as touching men this honour is for no other cause geuen vnto them then for that they are chosen and appoynted by our Sauiour Christ that he might distribute and poure abroade vpon others by them as his in strumentes that power of sauing which he hath of his own and resting in himself which thing the author of the Epistle to the Heb. 2 Chap. séemeth vnto me verye fitly to haue noted and layd downe in naming him the Prince of our saluation Now that which this wryter vsing a manner of spéech which the Hebrues are acquainted with doth signifie as it were with one word We reade that Peter Act. 5 ver 31. did part in two when he had mainteyned this cause before the high Priestes of the Iewes Him hath God lifte vp with his right hand to be a Prince and Sauiour and so foorth By these most sure groundes for to alleadge any more it is néedelesse I thinke that doth sufficiently appear which I purposed to declare that without the felowship of Christ there remayneth no hope of saluation vnto any man Wherby it is euidently proued that they are vtterly deceiued and erre very farre which séeke elswhere or otherwise saluation Wherefore I neyther must neyther will reprooue this new order of Friers if they speak in earnest and beléeue that they see●e saluation in Iesu and bee willinge to draw it thence as from a continuall welspring but I accounte it a very vnreasonable thing for a man to goe about to drawe all that to himselfe alone and to challenge it as his owne which is common with him to al mē of what state and condition soeuer they be and therewithall that they are fowly deceyued if they thinke it cannot be had without that kinde of life which they haue newly deuysed vnto them selues Lastly I take them to be very far deceyued in this that they take another way to obteyne saluation of Iesus then he himselfe hath layd downe and declared CAP. VII That to the intent true felowship be had with Iesus the way that he hath declared is to be followed IT is the part of a trustye and wise Phisition not only to shew the sick person a fitte and wholesome medicine but also diligently to delyuer the maner and how to receaue the same especially if he perceiue he hath to doe with one that is vnskilfull and ignorant of Phisicke For as it is an easie matter herein to misse so it is well knowen to be very dangerous and dayly experience prooueth the same Therfore the holy Ghost to the intent he might performe the parte of a true teacher and most faithfull Phisition vnto the elect and sufficiently prouide for their saluation vnderstandinge well how great not only the vanitie but also the blindnes of mannes mind is especially in seking and prouiding for their own saluation thought it not sufficient to set foorth and poynte out a true sure and necessarye medicine but also thought good to declare plainly and largely how the same is to be vsed Wherfore it behoueth al those that are in déede desirous of their own saluation to resolue with themselues that not only the remedy against sin which the heauenly Father doth offer in Christ is to be unbraced of them ●●t that therewithall they must in euery poynt folow the way to receyue the same which he hath layde downe For they are very much deceiued and altogether erre which imagine other wayes and meanes or being deuysed of others séeme they neuer so plausible and playne accepte of the same Certainlye they tyre themselues in vayne which runne out of the way and as he sayd it is better to haste in the way then to runne space out of the way for it is so farre of that they should euer come vnto the true ende that in steade of saluation they procure to themselues grieuous destruction The holie Ghost doeth most plainly teach and that not in one place that the father is knowne of no man and that no man commeth vnto him but by the teaching and leading of the sonne who not without cause calleth him selfe as the life and trueth so the way also thereunto For so the same spirit teacheth that no mar comineth or is receiued into the fellowship or communion of the sonne but by the motion and leading of the Father God is faithfull saieth Paule to the Corinthians by whom you are called into the fellowship of his sonne Iesus Christ our Lorde Herehence it appeareth that there is no comming to this fellowship for any man but by the Fathers calling And it is not méete that any should be called but hée that heareth his voice and foloweth it that is to say that heareth him speaking and obeyeth his counsell and goeth after him being guided as it were by his hand Which thing Iohn doeth plainly shewe in the beginning of his Epistle teaching that he declareth to the Church that which he had séene and heard that they might haue fellowship not onely amonge themselues but also with the Father and with his Sonne Iesus Christ The voyce therefore of the Gospell is the way whereby we haue enterance vnto this holie and healthfull fellowship By it the Father calleth those whom he hath giuen vnto his Sonne before the foundation of the world was laid and bringeth and assembleth them vnto their shepheard And that voyce of the Father soundinge clearely from heauen conteineth the effect of the heauenly voice This is my welbeloued Sonne in whom I am well pleased heare him By these fewe wordes but verie significant hee noteth both the end and sheweth the way For the end or scope vnto the which wée must leauell as it were with both
