A07803	A direct answer vnto the scandalous exceptions, which Theophilus Higgons hath lately obiected against D. Morton In the which there is principally discussed, two of the most notorious obiections vsed by the Romanists, viz. 1. M. Luthers conference with the diuell, and 2.

the_o reason_n for_o bellarmine_n himself_o in_o the_o very_a next_o chapter_n be_v of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n unto_o that_o which_o m._n doctor_n derive_v general_o upon_o the_o papist_n what_o

they_o who_o believe_v that_o christ_n soul_n descend_v only_o into_o the_o place_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o patriarch_n call_v abraham_n bosom_n or_o limbus_n patrun_v do_v not_o believe_v the_o

i_o shall_v present_o return_v he_o i_o doubt_v not_o a_o satisfiable_a answer_n the_o four_o interrogatory_n whether_o whatsoever_o the_o devil_n speak_v be_v therefore_o to_o be_v judge_v devilish_a

whether_o satan_n in_o his_o conference_n object_v any_o argument_n against_o private_a mass_n which_o be_v not_o a_o certain_a &_o confess_a truth_n the_o point_n be_v these_o first_o that_o the_o

he_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o most_o subtle_a liar_n even_o then_o when_o he_o speak_v truth_n as_o for_o example_n in_o strike_v the_o heart_n of_o judas_n with_o that_o direful_a
