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.

of_o faith_n that_o spouse_n of_o christ_n &_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n which_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n that_o so_o they_o may_v embrace_v her_o communion_n follow_v

to_o salvation_n explicite_fw-la faith_n because_o it_o comprehend_v all_o those_o fundamental_a and_o supreme_a point_n of_o christian_a religion_n without_o the_o express_a and_o articulate_a knowledge_n of_o which_o a_o man_n can_v be_v save_v and_o these_o be_v those_o only_a which_o newtralist_n in_o religion_n hold_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v implicit_a faith_n of_o other_o point_n also_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n because_o otherwise_o then_o believe_v implicit_o &_o involue_o what_o the_o church_n teach_v therein_o we_o can_v according_a to_o the_o former_a doctor_n word_n find_v out_o that_o bless_a company_n of_o holy_a one_o the_o househould_v of_o faith_n the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n &_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o see_v implicit_a faith_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n we_o must_v grant_v that_o this_o implicit_a faith_n have_v some_o object_n the_o object_n be_v not_o the_o article_n of_o the_o trinity_n the_o incarnation_n the_o decalogue_n etc._n etc._n since_o these_o be_v the_o object_n of_o explicite_fw-la faith_n as_o be_v above_o intimate_v therefore_o article_v seem_v of_o lesser_a importance_n be_v the_o object_n of_o implicit_a faith_n the_o which_o as_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v implicit_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n so_o be_v he_o bind_v not_o to_o believe_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o say_a article_n see_v then_o diverse_a controversy_n between_o the_o catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n be_v include_v under_o this_o implicit_a faith_n and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n hould_v but_o one_o way_n of_o they_o it_o follow_v that_o one_o side_n of_o the_o contrary_a beleiver_n of_o those_o point_n do_v err_v in_o their_o belief_n and_o consequent_o through_o want_n of_o this_o true_a &_o necessary_a implicit_a faith_n can_v be_v save_v 6._o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o it_o be_v proper_a &_o peculiar_a to_o virtue_n infuse_v &_o such_o be_v faith_n hope_n &_o charity_n that_o every_o such_o virtue_n be_v whole_o extinguish_v by_o any_o one_o act_n contrary_a to_o the_o say_a virtue_n thus_o for_o example_n one_o mortal_a sin_n take_v away_o all_o charity_n &_o grace_n according_a that_o he_o 2._o he_o jacob_n cap._n 2._o that_o offend_v in_o one_o be_v make_v guilty_a of_o all_o one_o act_n of_o despair_n destroy_v the_o whole_a virtue_n of_o hope_n then_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n one_o heresy_n whole_o corrupt_v &_o extinguish_v all_o true_a faith_n therefore_o see_v faith_n be_v a_o theological_a and_o infuse_v virtue_n this_o faith_n be_v destroy_v with_o one_o act_n of_o heresy_n whether_o it_o be_v about_o purgatory_n prayer_n to_o saint_n freewill_n or_o any_o other_o controversy_n between_o the_o catholics_n &_o the_o protestant_n therefore_o whosever_v deny_v purgatory_n or_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n grant_v their_o doctrine_n to_o be_v true_a be_v deprive_v of_o all_o infuse_a faith_n touch_v any_o article_n of_o christian_a religion_n whether_o they_o concern_v the_o trinity_n or_o the_o incarnation_n or_o any_o other_o fundamental_a point_n which_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o believe_v but_o without_o faith_n that_o be_v without_o true_a infuse_v and_o theological_a faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n as_o the_o 11._o the_o heb._n 11._o apostle_n assure_v us._n 4._o another_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o these_o newtralist_n in_o religion_n do_v not_o agree_v even_o in_o the_o general_a ground_n of_o christian_a faith_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o article_n of_o one_o god_n of_o the_o trinity_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n with_o any_o other_o christian_n this_o be_v prove_v because_o as_o all_o other_o christian_n do_v believe_v in_o these_o general_a head_n so_o do_v each_o of_o they_o particular_o agree_v that_o these_o general_a principle_n be_v to_o be_v limit_v &_o bound_v to_o every_o one_o particular_a sect_n as_o the_o protestant_n for_o example_n believe_v otherways_o in_o god_n the_o trinity_n and_o christ_n than_o the_o catholic_n do_v as_o be_v else_o where_o demonstrate_v but_o now_o these_o our_o newtralist_n do_v not_o limit_v the_o foresay_a principle_n to_o any_o particular_a sect_n or_o in_o any_o particular_a manner_n therefore_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o they_o have_v no_o true_a belief_n even_o of_o those_o general_a and_o fundamental_a article_n 5._o a_o five_o reason_n shall_v be_v this_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o what_o general_a propension_n nature_n or_o rather_o god_n himself_o by_o nature_n as_o his_o instrument_n have_v ingraft_v in_o all_o man_n the_o same_o be_v in_o itself_o most_o true_a certain_a and_o warrantable_a as_o for_o example_n nature_n have_v implant_v in_o each_o man_n soul_n a_o secret_a remorse_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o transgression_n commit_v as_o also_o a_o fear_n of_o future_a punishment_n to_o be_v inflict_v for_o the_o say_a sin_n perpetrate_v therefore_o from_o hence_o it_o may_v infallible_o be_v conclude_v that_o sin_n itself_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v &_o that_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o retribution_n of_o punishment_n for_o our_o offence_n do_v in_o this_o world_n since_o otherways_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n shall_v insert_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n idle_o vain_o and_o as_o direct_v to_o no_o end_n certain_a natural_a impression_n &_o instinct_n which_o to_o affirm_v be_v most_o derogatory_n to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o wisdom_n &_o repugnant_a to_o that_o ancient_o receive_v axiom_n god_n &_o nature_n work_v nothing_o in_o vain_a now_o to_o apply_v this_o we_o find_v both_o by_o history_n and_o by_o experience_n that_o diverse_a zealous_a and_o fervent_a professor_n of_o all_o religion_n whatsoever_o both_o true_a and_o false_a have_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o expose_v their_o life_n in_o defence_n of_o any_o impugn_a part_n or_o branch_n of_o their_o religion_n from_o which_o undaunted_a resolution_n of_o they_o we_o certain_o collect_v that_o this_o their_o constant_a determination_n of_o defend_v the_o least_o point_n of_o their_o religion_n proceed_v partly_o from_o a_o general_a instinct_n of_o god_n impress_v in_o man_n soul_n teach_v each_o man_n that_o death_n itself_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v suffer_v than_o we_o be_v to_o deny_v any_o part_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n in_o general_n and_o thus_o according_a hereto_o we_o find_v that_o the_o athenian_n who_o be_v heathen_n though_o they_o do_v err_v touch_v the_o particular_a object_n herein_o as_o worship_v false_a god_n be_v most_o cautelous_a that_o no_o one_o point_n shall_v be_v infringe_v or_o violate_v touch_v the_o worship_v of_o their_o go_n the_o like_a religious_a severity_n be_v practise_v by_o the_o jew_n as_o josephus_n apion_n josephus_n cont._n apion_n witness_v and_o god_n himself_o even_o in_o his_o own_o write_a word_n threaten_v that_o who_o 22._o who_o apo._n 22._o shall_v either_o add_v or_o diminish_v to_o the_o book_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n write_v by_o the_o evangelist_n from_o he_o he_o will_v take_v away_o his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n now_o if_o such_o danger_n be_v threaten_v for_o add_v to_o or_o take_v from_o more_o or_o less_o they_o be_v set_v down_o by_o the_o evangelist_n in_o this_o one_o book_n how_o can_v then_o both_o the_o catholics_n and_o protestant_n have_v their_o name_n write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n since_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o grant_v on_o all_o side_n that_o either_o the_o catholic_a add_v more_o to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n then_o be_v by_o he_o institute_v or_o the_o protestant_n take_v from_o the_o say_a faith_n diverse_a article_n which_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n do_v teach_v but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o former_a reason_n from_o all_o this_o we_o deduce_v that_o no_o point_n of_o true_a religion_n be_v of_o such_o cold_a indifferency_n as_o that_o they_o be_v not_o much_o to_o be_v regard_v or_o that_o they_o may_v be_v maintain_v contrarywayes_o by_o contrary_a spirit_n without_o any_o danger_n to_o man_n salvation_n but_o that_o they_o be_v of_o that_o nature_n worth_n &_o dignity_n as_o a_o man_n be_v to_o undergo_v all_o torment_n yea_o death_n itself_o before_o he_o yield_v or_o suffer_v the_o least_o relapse_n in_o deny_v any_o of_o the_o say_a veritye_n 6._o the_o sixth_o and_o last_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o maintain_n of_o false_a doctrine_n now_o question_v between_o the_o christian_n of_o these_o time_n be_v most_o prejudicial_a &_o hurtful_a to_o the_o obtain_n of_o our_o heavenly_a bliss_n
