A73183	Qvi non credit condemnabitvr Marc. 16. Or A discourse prouing, that a man who beleeueth in the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Passion &c. & yet beleeueth not all other inferiour articles of Christian fayth, cannot be saued And consequently, that both the Catholike, and the Protestant (seeing the one necessarily wanteth true fayth) cannot be saued.

I passe ouer Geneua which citty as the whole world knoweth did first withdraw it selfe from the allegeance of their Leideg Lord the Duke of Sauoy only by reason that against his will and pleasure they would professe the Protestant Religion and so accordingly to this daye they haue made themselues a state or common-wealth wholely independent of Sauoy of which citty Doctor Sutcliffe confessedly writeth (b) in his answere to a certaine libe supplicatory p. 194. They of Geneua did depose their catholike leidge Lord and Prince from his temporall right albeit he was by right of succession the temporall Lord and owner of that citty and Territory In like sort I pretermit the many like examples of the commons arysing against their lawfull Princes and Magistrats in (c) Chitraeus in chron 1593. 1594.

Bohemia of this last Country the late and fresh reuolt of the subiects from the Emperours obedience All which risings Insurrections and Rebellions were originally vndertaken only for Religion and haue no doubt since the first breach of Luther cost the liues in all places of a million of men at least and haue actually deposed and disthroned diuers Kings Princes of their estates and territoryes 6. These thinges then for their euidency being acknowledged for true and vndeniable many of which remaine as yet fresh in our owne memory of the nature of which Actions I will not heere dispute Only I heere vrge that it is more then incredible that such rebellious deuastation of Countreyes beseiging of cittyes deposing of Princes slaughter of many hundred thousandes of men should be practised almost throughout al christendom within this last three score yeares only for admitting or not admitting the differences betweene the Protestant and Catholike religion if both the contrary partyes were not persuaded that vpon the true or false beleefe of these controuersies in Religion their soules saluation or damnation for all eternity did depend For it is certaine that these contrary partyes did agree and conspire in the generall beliefe of the Trinity Incarnation Passion death of our Sauiour and verbally reciting of the Apostles Creed The same proued from the Protestants mutually condemning one another of heresy for Heretikes CHAP. XIIII IF Protestants doe maintaine that their different opinions seuerally houlden among themselues be heresyes and that the beleeuers of them are for such their false beliefe if so they dy therein not capable of saluation then à fortiori may we be bould to pronounce that the Controuersies of fayth betweene the Catholiks the Protestants are not of that middle nature but that the opinions and sentences of the one side are to be reputed for manifest heresyes such as cannot stand with mans saluation This inference is most necessary since on all sides it is acknowledged that there is a farre greater disparity in Religion betweene the Catholiks and the Protestāts then there is betweene the Protestants among themselues 2. Now that the Protestants do hould one another for Heretikes it cannot be denyed For to insist first in the Controuersies touching the reall presence maintayned in their sense by the Lutherans but denyed by the Sacramentaries we find that Luther thus writeth of the Sacramentaries VVe (a) Luth. contr articulos Louanieses thes 27. tom 2. censure in earnest the Zuinglians and all the Sacramentaryes for Heretikes and alienated from the Church of God And againe the same Luther thus writteth I doe (b) Tom. 7. VVitē fol. 381. protest before God and the world that I do not agree with the Zuinglians nor euer will whilest tht world standeth but will haue my handes cleane from the blood of those sheep which these Heretikes marke his wordes do driue from Christ deceaue and kill And againe in the former place Cursed (c) Vbi supra be the charity and concord of the Sacramentaryes for euer and euer to all eternity But Heretikes and men alienated from the Church of God and which doe kill the sheepe of Christ during such their condition are not in state of saluation 3. Now of Luthers doctrine we find this bitter recriminatiō vsed by the Tigurine Diuines who were Zuinglians or Caluinists Nos (d) Tigurini tract 3. contra supremā Lutheri confessionem condemnatam execrabilem vocat sectam c. Luther calleth vs a damnable and execrable sect but let him looke that he doth not declare himselfe an Archeretike seeing he will not nor cannot haue society with those that confesse Christ. And Zuinglius thus writteth Behould (e) Tom. 2. ad respons Lutheri how Satan endeauoureth to possesse this mā meaning Luther But to proceed to other points Nicolaus Gallus an eminent Protestant and superintendent at Ratisbone thus writeth of the contentions betweene the Protestants themselues Non (f) In thesibus Hypothesibus sunt leues c. The dissentions that are among vs are not light nor of light matters but of the greatest articles of Christian doctrine of the law and the ghospell of Iustification and good workes of the Sacrament and vse of Ceremonyes Conradus Slussenburg another famous Protestant alleadgeth Pappus a Protestant thus complaining against the Caluinists Etsi initio (g) In theologia Caluinist l. 1. art 28. de vno tantum articulo c.
