you teach that some sinnes are veniall that is pardonable of their owne nature and not worthy of damnation the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth contrary saying The wages of sinne meaning euery sin is death Sixtly whereas you teach that euerlasting life is a stipend the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth it is a gift The gift of God is eternall life saith the Apostle Seuenthly whereas you teach that concupiscence is no sinne and besides that we may not safely call it sinne the Apostle in this Epistle by your owne mens confession calls it sin Eightly whereas you account it heresie to teach that a iustified man cannot keepe the whole Law the Apostle in this Epistle stands guiltie of this heresie for speaking in the person of a iustified man To will is present with me saith he but I find no meanes to performe that which is good for I do not the good thing which I would but the euill which I would not that do I. Ninthly whereas you teach that good workes be meritorious euen so meritorious that the ioyes of heauen are a thing equally and iustly answering to the time and weight of our workes the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory which shall be shewed vnto vs. Tenthly whereas you crie out against the certaintie of faith calling it an vnhappie securitie presumption and a faithlesse perswasion the Apostle in this Epistle commends the faith that is free from doubting professing that he was assured neither life nor death nor any creature was able to separate him from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesus our Lord. Eleuenthly whereas you teach that Christ is vpon euery of your Altars the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth that since his rising he is at the right hand of God Twelfthly whereas you teach that workes done before iustification deserue of congruitie at Gods hands the grace of iustification the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth flat contrary saying The wisedome of the flesh that is a man vniustified cannot please God 13. Whereas you teach that euery creature must be subiect to the Pope and that the Pope is subiect to none the Apostle in this Epistle exhorteth euery creature to be subiect to the higher powers meaning by the higher powers as the circumstances shew the Ciuill magistrates and not the Pope 14. Whereas you teach that the Clergie is and ought to be free from whatsoeuer impositions of the Ciu●●l ●agistrate and that by the lawes of God and man the Apostle in this Epistle perswades euery creature the Clergie as well as the Laitie to pay tribute and custome to the Ciuill magistrate 15. Whereas you teach that inferiours must doe whatsoeuer superiours command them though it be against their consciences vnlesse they haue plain reason for their refusal the Apostle in this Epistle requires that men be fully perswaded in their mindes of the lawfulnesse of that which they doe meaning they should not onely for beare the doing of that which went against their conscienes but whereof they doubted in their iudgements Lastly whereas you teach that some actions onely of the Infidels are sinnes the Apostle in this Epistle affirmes that all the actions of the Infidels are sinnes saying Whatsoeuer is not of faith is sinne Now that which I desire to know is why the Apostle if the faith of our Romish Church now be the same that it was then when he writ to the Romanes spake nothing of the principall points of your now-faith but many things for vs and against you Your Cardinall Hosius to proue satisfaction alledgeth these as the words of Saint Paul Rom. 6. Exhibeamus membra nostra seruire iustitiae in satisfactione Let vs exhibite our members to serue iustice vnto satisfaction And your Doctor Harding for proofe of the same point alledgeth these as the words of S. Paul 2. Cor. 7. Let vs cleanse our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit making perfect our satisfaction in the feare of God Both of them putting the word satisfaction in place of the word sanctification vsed by the Apostle Was there any great sanctitie shewed by them in this or rather are they not bound to make satisfaction vnto the Apostle for this their bad dealing thinke you Your Bishop Gardiner some say to proue the carnall presence which you maintaine against the truth and vs alledgeth these as the words of the 110. Psalme Escamse dedit timentibus eum He gaue himselfe for meate to them that feared him Was there any feare of God in your Bishop to adde the word se himselfe of himselfe to the text thinke you Your Cardinall Bellarmine to proue that holy things may be religiously worshipped alledgeth these as the words of God Exod. 12. 16. Dies prima erit sancta septima eadem religione venerabilis The first day shall be holy and the seuenth day with like religion shall be venerable descanting vpon them thus Hîc vides pro eodem accipi rem sanctam religiose venerabilem yet the word religiose is not in the text but the word festiuitate Now I pray you was it not irreligiously done of your Cardinall to chop into the Text the word religiously falsly Your Bernaltus a Priest of Constance writing in defence of Gregory 7. his prohibition of Priests mariage affirmes that S. Peter commanded euen the Laitie 1. Pet. 3. vt parcant vxoribus suis ne impetrantur orationes earum that they should forbeare companying with their wiues lest their prayers should be interrupted whereas in Saint Peter there are no such words as vt parcant vxoribus they should forbeare companying with their wiues Did not this Priest of yours deserue to be accompanied with whores who forged this Text to proue that a man may not keepe companie with his wife Your Cardinall Hosius and your Bishop Canus in way of proouing that wee may beleeue in Saints alledge the words of Saint Paul to Philemon Gratias ago Deo meo audiens fidem quod habes in Domino nostro in omnes Sanctos I giue thanks to my God hearing of the faith which thou hast in the Lord Iesus and in all Saints leauing out the word charitatem loue or charitie which the Apostle coupled with the word fidem faith meaning loue or charitie should be referred to the Saints as the obiect of it and the word faith to the Lord Iesus as his obiect Was there any loue or charitie in these towards the Apostle who suppressed the mention of that loue towards the Saints which he commended in Philemon or is it safe I do not say to beleeue in but to beleeue such saints as these who cite the Scriptures so diuel-like leauing out as the diuel did Mat. 4. what made against him Your Pope Leo 10.
