A07225 Christs victorie ouer Sathans tyrannie Wherin is contained a catalogue of all Christs faithfull souldiers that the Diuell either by his grand captaines the emperours, or by his most deerly beloued sonnes and heyres the popes, haue most cruelly martyred for the truth. With all the poysoned doctrins wherewith that great redde dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his trayterous practises and designes, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memorie, and our most religious Soueraigne Lord King Iames. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and diuers other books.

king_n to_o be_v he●d_v of_o a_o kingdom_n 4_o christ_n will_v better_o rule_v his_o church_n by_o his_o true_a apostle_n disperse_v throughout_o the_o world_n without_o such_o a_o monstrous_a head_n i_o answer_v albeit_o that_o doctor_n do_v say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n be_v often_o without_o a_o head_n yet_o we_o very_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o every_o

one_o only_a pronince_n nor_o to_o any_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n some_o walk_v through_o many_o region_n some_o few_o as_o paul_n travail_v more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o do_v convert_v more_o to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ._n wherefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o apostle_n or_o uicar_n to_o convert_v and_o confirm_v as_o much_o people_n and_o as_o many_o province_n as_o they_o be_v able_a 6_o the_o apostle_n and_o faithful_a priest_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v stout_o rule_v the_o church_n in_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n before_o the_o office_n of_o the_o

according_a to_o predestination_n of_o eternal_a life_n answer_n this_o proposition_n be_v not_o in_o the_o book_n but_o thus_o as_o paul_n be_v both_o a_o blasphemer_n according_a to_o present_a justice_n and_o also_o a_o faithful_a child_n of_o our_o holy_a mother_n the_o church_n according_a to_o predestination_n so_o iscariot_n be_v both_o in_o grace_n according_a to_o present_a justice_n and_o withal_o be_v never_o of_o our_o holy_a mother_n the_o church_n because_o he_o lack_v predestination_n of_o life_n everlasting_a 2_o christ_n do_v more_o love_n a_o predestinate_a ban_n be_v sinful_a than_o any_o reprobate_n in_o what_o grace_n soever_o he_o be_v answer_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o predestinate_a shall_v have_v perpetual_a blessedness_n and_o the_o reprobate_n eternal_a fire_n therefore_o god_n infinite_o love_v they_o both_o as_o his_o creature_n and_o much_o more_o because_o he_o give_v they_o great_a grace_n to_o wit_n everlasting_a life_n which_o be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o only_a grace_n according_a to_o present_a justice_n and_o the_o predestinate_v can_v fall_v from_o grace_n for_o they_o have_v a_o certain_a redicall_a grace_n root_v in_o they_o although_o they_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n for_o the_o time_n 3_o all_o the_o sinful_a according_a to_o present_a justice_n be_v unfaithful_a swerve_v from_o the_o true_a catholic_a faith_n for_o none_o can_v commit_v deadly_a sin_n but_o in_o the_o point_n he_o swerve_v from_o the_o faith_n answer_n i_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v my_o sentence_n for_o if_o they_o do_v believe_v the_o punishment_n that_o shall_v be_v lay_v upon_o sinner_n and_o have_v faith_n of_o the_o divine_a understanding_n etc._n etc._n then_o they_o will_v not_o so_o offend_v this_o be_v verify_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n thy_o fellow_n be_v misbeliever_n and_o fellow_n of_o thief_n they_o love_v bribe_n and_o be_v follower_n of_o reward_n so_o he_o call_v they_o

that_o bind_v and_o lose_v be_v in_o heaven_n but_o many_o be_v make_v afraid_a think_v whether_o they_o be_v just_a or_o unjust_a the_o priest_n may_v at_o their_o pleasure_n bind_v they_o and_o the_o ignorant_a priest_n presume_v to_o have_v such_o power_n say_v they_o have_v such_o power_n to_o absolve_v every_o man_n confess_v himself_o of_o what_o sin_n soever_o it_o be_v though_o many_o

letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n quicken_v 5_o the_o bind_n and_o lose_v of_o god_n be_v plain_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a answer_n this_o be_v very_o evident_a for_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemous_a presumption_n that_o a_o man_n may_v forgive_v a_o offence_n to_o god_n he_o not_o allow_v the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o god_n do_v first_o forgive_v before_o his_o
