Or A treatise wherein is proued, that the wrytten Word of God (though most sacred, reuerend, and diuine) is not the sole iudge of controuersies, in fayth and religion Agaynst the prime sectaries of these tymes, who contend to maintayne the contrary. Written by N.S. Priest, and Doctour of Diuinity. Deuided into two parts. And dedicated to the right honorable, and reuerned iudges of England, and the other graue sages of the law.	S. N.

may well tearme it since it will be euer alone and cānot brooke the company of good workes 15. In like manner for proofe of merit of workes among other testimonies is alledged that saying recorded in Matthew (y) c. 20. Voca operarios redde illis mercedem Cal the workmen and pay them their hyre or wages in which place by the word hyre is vnderstood their daily wages as appeareth by the parable it self Now by this daily wages is signified eternall life euen by the common exposition of the Fathers vpō this place See also S. Austin (z) lib. de sancta virginit c. 26. S. Ierome (a) l. 2. in Iouinian S. Gregory (b) lib. 4. moral c. 42. all of thē so interpreting the former words 16. For proofe of Euangelicall Counsels which make a difference betwene a Stoicks dulnes and a Christian and religious contempt is as I said before that place of Saint Matthew alledged (c) Math. 19. There are Eunuches which haue gelded themselues for the kingdome of heauen where the words for the kingdome of heauen do not signify as the Protestāts would haue it for the better and more easy preaching of the gospell meaning that some are to abstaine from mariage only to that end but the former wordes do truly import so much as literally they signify that is that some forbeare mariage and liue in perpetuall chastity for the gayning of the ioyes of heauen and thus is this place expounded by Cyprian (d) lib. de habitu virginum Chrysostome (e) In hūc locum Ierome (f) l. 1. contra Iouin Austin (g) De sancta virginit c. 24. who thus wryteth therof Christo laudante eos qui se castrauerum c. Christ praysing them who haue gelded thēselues not for this world but for the kingdom of heauē shall any Christian gainsay the same in affirming that this kind of gelding is profitable only for this life not for the life to come For proofe of the said Doctrine we synd that the Fathers do interprete those words of our Sauiour Si vis (h) Math. ibidem perfectus c. If thou wilt be perfect Go and sell all that that thou hast c. ●nd follow me c. only as a Counsell and not as a Precept as our Aduersaries do teach See vpō this text Ambrose (i) l. de viduis vltra med Ierome (k) Contra Vigil Austin (l) Epist 8● q. 4. Chrysostome (m) ●n hūc locum who do ioyntly teach that our Sauiour exhorted and counselled only to Pouerty in his former words but imposed no commandement and precept therof whose exposition being true it followeth that who voweth perpetual pouerty performeth an Euangelicall Counsell And of such an one is verifyed that saying of one Father Omnia inuenit in Deo qui propter Deum omnia reliquit 17. Concerning the visibility of the Church we vrge those words of the Psalmist (n) Psalm 18. to wit In sole posuit tabernaculum suum He placed his tabernacle in the sunne Which place Saint Austin (o) Tract 2. in epist Ioan. doth thus expoudd In manifesto posuit Ecclesiam suam He placed his Church in an open and conspicuous place In like sort according to the expositions of S. Ierome and S. Austin the Church of Christ is cōpared to a mighty huge mountaine which is euer in sight See their expositions giuen vpon Isa 2. Dan. 2. and Micheas 4. S. Austin (p) l. de vnitat Eccles c. 14. also doth expound those words of S. Matthew vrged by vs of Christs Church vz. A citty placed vpon a mountaine cannot be hid So clearly did those fathers thinke that the sayd text did confirme the visibility of the church 18. For proofe of Traditions we vsually alledge that place of the (q) 1. Cor. 11. Apostle Laudo Laudo vos quòd per omnia c. I prayse you that in all things you are myndfull of me and that as I haue deliuered to you you keepe my precepts Which text the Fathers expounding do cōstantly teach that the Apostle did heer speake of vnwritten precepts and Traditions so doth Damascene (r) l. 4. c. 17. Basil (s) l. de spirit sanct c. 29. Chrysostome (t) In hunc locum Epiphanius (u) Haeres ●1 Theophilact (x) In hūc locum interprete this place 19. In like sort the Fathers do interprete that other place of S. Paul aboue mentioned of vnwritten traditiōs to wit that of the Thessalonians It aque fratres tenete c. Therfore brethren hold the Traditions which you haue receaued eyther by speach or by Epistle So doth Theophilact (y) hoc loco Damascene (z) l. 4. de si●e c. 17. Oecumenius (a) In hūc locum Basil (b) De spivit sanct c. 29. expound it And Chrysostome (c) In hunc locum thus briefly wryteth of the former words Hinc patet quod non omnia per epistolas tradiderint c. Hence it app●areth that the Apostles did not deliuer all things by their Epistles but many thinges also euen without writing which do deserue and are worthy of as much credit authority as the former things deliuered by writing 20. Touching Lymbus Patrum or the place where the soules of the iust were before Christ his Incarnation and death we are accustomed to alledge that place of the booke of the (d) 1. Reg. cap. 28. Kings where the soule of Samuel appearing to Saul was seene to ryse out of the earth And that it was the true soule of Samuel appeareth by the testimonies of the fathers so expounding that place See S. Austin (e) De cure pro mortuis c. 15. Ambrose (f) In 1. c. Luca. Ierome (g) In 7. Isa Basil (h) Epist 80. ad Eustachium and Iosephus (i) l. 6. antiquit c. 156 21. That Christ after his death and Passion did truly descend into hell that (*) Hebr. c. 2. so he might destroy through death him who had power ouer death we produce that plaine place of S. Matthew where it is sayd (k) c. 12. Sicut fuit Ionas c. Euen as Ionas was three dayes three nights in the belly of the whale so shal the sonne of man be in the heart of the earth Which place that it is not vnderstood of the graue as our Aduersaries do answere but of hell it selfe according to the Catholiks exposition appeareth from the testimonies of Ierome (l) In c. 2. Ionae who thus wryteth Sicut cor est in medio animalis ita infernus in medio terrae esse perhibetur that is Euen as the hart is in the midst of the liuing creature so is hell in the middest of the earth of Irenaeus (m) l. 5 circa finem of Tertullian (n) l. de anima c. 31. of Gregory Nissenus (o) ●n ora●
