A10318	A directorie teaching the way to the truth in a briefe and plaine discourse against the heresies of this time Whereunto is added, a short treatise against adiaphorists, neuters, and such as say they may be saued in any sect or religion, and would make of many diuers sects one Church.	Radford, John, 1561-1630.	1605 (1605)	STC 20602; ESTC S115540	239,684	640

you see howe it prooueth vvith them Quot capita tot fides tot senten tiae Secondly they haue quite taken away Priesthood and Sacrifice and haue induced a newe ministery altogither vvhich is a matter of so greate importance that it altereth the whole lawe Thirdly of seauen Sacraments they haue taken away quite six is this a small point thinke you which in effecte taketh from vs the chiefe effects of CHRISTS Passion and Redemption insomuch that a true Catholicke rather ought ro suffer death then deny the least Sacrament but Buny and such like can swallowe vppe any thing Fourthly they haue quite abolished certaine articles out of the very Apostles Creede as for example vvhereas according to the Scriptures we are taught to beleeue how CHRIST dsscended into hell if the Apostles creede bee not substantiall parts of our religion wherein wee are taught chiefly what to beleeue vvhereas this vnity of the faith Apostolicke is one chiefe foundation of christian religion then nothing at all is materiall or of substance to bee beleeued Fiftly as I sayde before touching predestination iustification free will rewarde of good workes Protestantes haue coyned such newe opinions besides olde heresies which they holdt about some of them as were neuer heard of before Sixtly they deny authority to many of the canonicall Scripturs Seauenthly as I also touched before of the nature of GOD of the blessed Trinity of three persons and vnity of one substance of the death of Christ and redemption heretiks haue deuised monstrous horrible opinions and blaspheamyes horrible for not only Christians but very Turks to thinke or speake of be these the fellowes that make not a Church a new of their owne but amend the old do they differ from vs I say but in small indifferent matters Fie vppon such palpable lyes fie vppon such impudency that euer men that would be accounted reasonable creatures can haue faces to auouch such absurdities to goe about to huddle vp such grosse inconueniences all in one bowgett and most miserable and weake senceles and vngratious be those men that can beleeue such lying Masters that vnder such pretēce of piety or rather the profession of open impiety bring in such sects of perdition to the subuersion of many seely soules Thirdly as I heere 3. before haue noted in taking away externall priesthood sacrifice they haue quite in a most essentiall point altered the whole law of Christ for according to the Apostles doctrine and Haeb. 7. 5 12. translate enim sacerdotio necesse est vt legis translatio fiat so that say Bullinger Buny or any other Protestāts in the world what they wil they must goe seeke a new Church from the Catholike Church to maske themselues in for heere possibly can be no hold for them whose priesthood they haue taken away whose sacrifice they haue aboleshed which priesthood sacrifice is one great part of the chiefe forme and substance of the whole law of Christ for heereby we be taught the law of God heereby we be gouerned and conserued in the law of God heereby we chiefely acknowledge god heereby wee bee seuered from false beleeuers and worshippers of GOD and heareby we truly worshippe honour and adore the most high and only God and with such supreme worshippe as is due to no creatuer neither in heauen nor earth so that you see what heretikes hane done in not only altering but leauing no externall priesthood nor Sacrifice at all First they by quite altering the law of Christ haue made them a new Church of their owne to dwell in more then euer GOD made they haue also abrogated all good discipline and orderly gouernment both to learne how to beleeue and how to liue and conserue themselues in the grace of GOD and openly to be knowne for his seruants yea in taking away Sacrifice the chiefe seruice of GOD they frustrate in themselues the comming of Christ the fruits of his Passō and make an open gappe to all sinne infidelity and plaine Atheisme as by lamentable experience wee see at this day whersoeuer Protestāts haue planted their fift Gospell that quite supplanteth thē out of the true Church of Christ into the malignant church of Sathan Fourthly heretiks truly acknowledging now by force the Romaine church for the true Catholik Church iustly cōdemne themselues as beeing iustly censured and condemned for blaspheamous obstinate heretiks of the same which if she be the true Church as they say desiring to bee accounted members of the same then is she not cōtrary to her selfe as being guided with the holy Ghost as Christ promised his true Church euer should be thus you see the Apostles words verefied in heretiks who be damned by their owne iudgmēt saith he therefore biddes vs. Flee them after the first and second correction to such Christ shall iustly say at the last day Ex ore tuo te iudico serue nequam who for their impiety and misbeleeuing beeing openly condemned accursed quite cut of by excōmunication by his spouse frō her who yet beeing vrged they durst not but confesse her to be the true Church yet stil they disobayed her to their owne perdition and of their deceiued followers like to those proude deuils who confessing Christ to be the Sonne of God yet giuen ouer in desperate obstinacy to a reprobate sence still by their sleights tentations draw as many as they can from God blaspheaming his holy name though to their owne paine euer and greater damnation heerevppon it is so hard to heare of a learned chiefe heretike truly conuerted if he haue long continued obstinate because he sinneth of malice and commonly in the beginning especially against his owne conscience and so damned by his owne iudgement in the end is by Gods iust iudgement quite blinde in soule vnderstanding and so being become obdurate or hardened in hart is giuen ouer in reprobum sensum Thus you see how heretiks make an argument against themselues in accounting themselues members of that Church which they rebelliously disobay which by Christs commandement they are commanded to heare follow contrary to whose precept from which they be runnegates plaine Apostates of the same Church be publikly condemned Fiftly it yrketh me to finde any so feeble or weake if they be but once well inclined to the true Catholike Church as once to thinke that the heretiks of our tyme can be in any sort members of the same to yeeld reasons for the disproofe of so manifest an vntruth seemeth to mee as needeles as to proue that the Diuell is alyar or that the Sunne shyneth at the noone day For besides as I touched before the Heretikes of our time one sect or other either quite deny or els damnably erre in the most principall and substantiall articles of Christian faith and religion yea so farre and deepely that Turkes may as well yea and Except that heretiks beare the name of Christians c better though both be
