Rom. apud 5. Petrum Anno 1569. Id. Noâ—em Pontific nostri annâ— 5 Good God what periurie Idolatrie heresie blasphemy there is contained in the aforesaide oth And the spirit of Antichrist is plainly reuealed in the cursed conclusion folowing after In trueth such traditions as are contrary and besides the word of God though they be called Apostolike are not to be receiued that sense and exposition of the scriptures which the Church of Rome deliuereth is not the right and perfect vnderstanding the Church and especially as you deliuer it the Church of Rome is not iudge of the scriptures there are but two Sacraments Baptisme and the Lordes supper the rest by you added art of an other kinde and nature in which sense wée may say as Ierome saide of the Reuelation Looke howe many wordes we finde there so many Sacramentes there are The Sacraments confer not grace as you imagine Ex opere operato the rites in the administration of the Sacraments retained in the Church of Rome are childish superstitious and impious that doctrine of originall sin and iustification lately decréed in the councell of Trent is plasphemous and abhominable The Masse is an Idoll and the sacrifice there pretended for quicke and dead is a deceiuing of the people the Eucharist is not reall substantiall with the soule and diuinitie of Jesus Christ neither transubstantiated the Sacrament is not perfect when it is deliuered vnder one kinde Purgatorie is a fable neyther are the soules of the departed relieued by the prayers of the lyuing the Saintes are not to be inuocated their reliques are not to be worshipped neither Images to be adored Popes pardons are to no purpose but a deluding of Gods people and the filling of the poke Rome is neither catholike apostolike nor the Lady and mistresse of al other Churches the Pope is not the true successour of Peter neither the Uicar of Jesus Christ to receiue what Rome receiueth and condemne what shee condemneth is â—o deliuere Barrabas and crucifie Christ to embrace
in the Gospell is an acceptation of the satisfaction and obedience of christ for the sinnes of al them that beléeue 18. The Iesuites teache that the mercie of GOD in Christ in the which consisteth our saluation is this that God promised vnto them that doe good workes to witte such as fulfill the lawe life euerlasting Censur Colon. Canis Andrad Concil Trident But the Catholikes say that the mercie of God wherin consisteth the saluation of all the elect people is this that the heauenly father promised fréely to all them that beléeue in Christ and also giueth fréely remission of sinnes righteousnesse and life euerlasting not because of their obedience towardes the lawe but onely for Christes sake our Lorde our Sauiour and Mediatour 19. The Iesuites holde that there is a twofolde iustification a first and a second The first iustification saye they is in that Christ deserued by his death that such as belieued in him should be endued and adorned with loue and other vertues The seconde say they is in that they by the merites of Christ hauing receiued these new ornamentes and vertues man I say deserueth a greater fuller and more ample righteousnesse reconciliation adoption and in the end euerlasting life Censur Colon. Andrad The Catholikes hold that there is but one way or manner of obtaining euerlasting saluation to witte the frâ—e remission of sinne and the imputation of the righteousnesse of Christ apprehended by fayth giuen vs not because of our workes but for the merites of Christ 20. The Iesuites holde that our workes are necessarily required for the first iustification and merit the amplification of the secoÌ„d Censur Colon. Canis Andrad Ortho. explic The councell of Trent layeth downe that they are causes of iustification and also do merit c And accurseth them that holde the contrary Seâ—s 6. Canon 24. 32. The Catholikâ— beleeue that life euerlasting is the gift of God fréely giuen and promised to them that beleeue in Christ our sauiour The woorkes of the regenerate are not causes of our saluation but witnesses of the grace receiued by Christ neyther do they merit ought for when we haue done all that lyeth in vs wée are commaunded to confesse our selues to bée vnprofitable seruantes 21. The Iesuites holde that the workes which are before iustification are meritorious and accepted of God Censur Colon. Canis Andrad Orthodox explic lib. 3. Concil Trident. â—ess 6. canon 7. The Catholikes affirme that the workes which are done before regeneration and iustification are sinfull For whatsoeuer saith S. Paule is not of fayth is sinne And they are no more acceptable vnto God then the workes of Philosophers Heathens Turkes and Infidels who denying God are in the state of damnation 22. The Iesuites hold that no man is iustified by faith onely without works Censur Colon. Canis Andrad And the counsell of Trent accurseth them that holde the contrary Sess 6. Can. 9 Sess 13. Canon 11. The Catholikes holde with the wordes of our Sauiour in the Gospell where it is saide Onely beleeue and with the opinion of Paule saying We suppose that a man is iustified by faith without the workes of the law and other places of holy scripture tending to the confirmation thereof that man is iustified by fayth alone without workes 23. The Iesuites hold that there are seuen sacraments to wit the Lordes supper baptisme confirmation penaunce extreame â—â—â—tion order and matrimonie All that holde the contrary are often accursed by the counsell of Trent Sess 7. Can. 1. Sess 7. can 1. Sess 14. The catholikes do holde that there are but only two sacraments so properly to bee called that is baptisme and the Lordes supper sufficiently established by Gods word and that al the rest doe differ farre from the proper nature of Sacraments 34. The Iesuites do hold real presence in the sacrament they maintaine transubstantiation they minister the sacrament vnder one kinde barring the laitie of the cuppe they wil haue the sacrament adored and the remaines laide vp and reserued all contrary vnto the catholike fayth and warrant of Gods word 25. The Iesuites doe holde that man can make satisfaction vnto God for his sinnes although the offence be infinite and the satisfaction finite or terminable Censur Colon. Canis concil Trident. The catholikes doe affirme that a man although he be regenerate can make no acceptable satisfaction vnto God neither present ought before him to appease the wrath of the father but only his sonne Christ and his merites 26. The Iesuites holde that the Saintes are to bée inuocated to the end they may make intercession for vs. Againe they thinke that the Lordes prayer may bée sayde vnto them Againe they confesse although that the holy scripture teach no where the inuocation of Saints yet say they notwithstanding it is to bee belâ—ued receiued and retained Censur Colon. Canis Andrad Orthod explic Concil Trident. Sess 25. The Catholikes assirme that there is none to bée called vppon in prayer but God alone and that it is blasphemy to say Our Father which art in heauen c. Unto the Saints and that there is no doctrine to be receiued but that which is contained in the old and new testament 27. The Iesuites teach that the Saintes are so bee honoured and serued that their reliques and images are to be woorshipped as they write Cultu Latrâ—ae with the honour and woorship due vnto God him selfe and that the image of Christ is as much to be honoured as the bookes of the Gospell of Iesus Christ they â—hat hold not she saâ—â— with them are by the Popâ— accursed Censur Colon.

The Catholikes teach that God alone is to bee honoured and serued with 〈◊〉 â—â—â—â—â— and seruice that the woorshipping of reliques and images is idelatrie and contrary to the expresse woorde of God for hee will not haue his people taught by his wing of pictures but by the lately preâ—ching of the woorde of God 28.
