Leo with other writers of best note in euery age since Christes time hitherto And as the primitiue and ancient Fathers and Saincts do yeeld their abundant testimonie in confirmation of these two points so do they vndoubtedlie also afford if this place would giue leaue to particularize very ample euidence in all the other points before mentioned and in question betweene vs and our oppositors Nay if we may be so bold as to deliuer our opinion plainely without concealing ought in this matter the maner that our aduersaries vse in citing places out of the auncient Fathers against vs is but the studie of meere wrangling and no other then a demonstratiue token of an exceeding contentious spirit wilfullie affecting to blindfold and mislead it selfe For were they sincere and loued truth aboue all things they could not possible dismember wrest and pick out sentences of their works in the order and to the purposes they do not letting to rack their words to a sense which the writers neuer meant yea contrarie oftentimes euen to the generall scope and drift of those bookes whence they cull the peeces they alleadge contrarie to the euident letter and plaine passages of their other writings contrarie to the faith they professed liued and died in contrarie to the religion of the age they wrote in contrarie to the doctrine of the Church that first admitted them for Doctors or receiued them for Saincts contrarie to the profession of their liues and state of vocation contrarie to the language and nature of their owne deedes to the titles and dignities they held and to the opinion and censure which all former ages retained of such their parcels of writing So that words and words commonly disioynted from that went before or followeth after must ballance and beare more sway and credit for condemning vs of error then the writers liues selfe deedes their practise profession other their works or neuer so many apparant testimonies of theirs to the contrarie for the truth of our religion 27.

A religion not destitute of any kinde of proofe but her positions confirmable by Scriptures by Apostolicall institutions by Counsels oecumenicall and prouinciall by Fathers Doctors reason histories chronologies prophesies visions reuelations miracles traditions and by all these and other like heads we say confirmable without wrest straine or flying to tropes or figuratiue speeches So as these words in the Canticles seeme only verifide of our church and religion Thy neck that is the puissance of Christes Church is as Cantic 4. v. 4. the towre of Dauid which is built with bulwarks a thousand shields hang on it all the armour of the strong 29. A religion which a Act. 2. beginning at Ierusalem hath as a riuer through the length of her course euer more and more increased and spread it selfe as it was prophesied that the Church of Christ should b Psal 2. 8. I will giue thee saith God the Father to God the Sonne nations to thine inheritance which is his Church and the ends of the earth to thy possession c Esay 2. 2. All nations shall run vnto her d Dan. 7. 14. All people tribes and tongs shall serue him e Esay 60. 10. The sonnes of strangers that is of the Gentils shall build vp her walls and their Kings do seruice vnto her Now that these and innumerable other like predictions and prophesies are only found true and fulfilled in our Catholick Roman church and religion both the seuerall conuersions of nations vnto her and the infinite multitude dispersed euery-where of her beleeuers do as nothing can more clearely testifie And how greatly it spred it selfe euen when it first put
