SECT V. OUR Church useth the same Sacraments which our Saviour Christ left in his Church and no other to wit Baptism and the Lord's Supper which both the Laity and the Clergy in our Communion receive intire without mutilation according to our Blessed Saviour's Institution the practice of the Apostles and of the Latin Church for fourteen hundred years after our Saviour's Incarnation and of the Greek Church in the last Age if not until this day The Church of Rome doth not only clog its members with the number of seven Sacraments which precise number of Sacraments was not held for Catholick even in the Roman Church till above a thousand years after Christ and therefore far from Primitive Christianity but deprives the Laity of the Cup in the Eucharist contrary to our Saviour's Institution which is at once the highest presumption and withal not one degree remov'd from Sacriledge The number of Seven Sacraments Contrary to the Fathers Iustin Martyr Apol. 2. whom even Bellarmine himself confesses to have mentioned but two Sacraments de effect Sacram. l. 2. c. 27.

WE do not believe that the Elements of Bread and Wine after Consecration become the very Body and Blood of Christ though the worthy Receiver partakes of both in a spiritual manner by faith because we herein have all the testimony we are capable of viz. that of our Reasons and of our Senses to believe That there is not a real Transubstantiation or a change of the Elements of Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood of our Saviour which is an absurd tenet and hath occasioned many Superstitions The Church of Rome holds that there is a conversion of the whole substance of Bread and Wine into the substance of Christ's Body and Blood by Consecration Transubstantiation Contrary to Scripture Luk. 22. 17 18 19 20.

were true as they are wholly the contrary they can make it appear That the Bishop of Rome was the Successor of S. Peter and not the Bishop of Antioch and whether ever he was at Rome or no 5. Whether they can make it appear That our Blessed Saviour when on Earth exercised such a temporal Monarchy as the Pope now challengeth Confessions of the Popish Doctors in this Case To the first and second Queries it is Confessed by Cardinal Cusanus That S. Peter received no more Authority and then he could not exercise any Authority over his Fellows than the rest of the Apostles To the third and fourth Queries it is Confessed by Aeneas Sylvius afterwards Pope by then ame of Pius II. That the Pope's Succession is not revealed in Scripture and then it cannot be proved jure divino positivo And by Bellarmin That neither Scripture nor Tradition habet allows then farewell Papal Supremacy That the Apostoliok Seat or Chair was so fixed at Rome which I really believe as well as he that it could not be taken from thence And then why might it not be at Antioch or Jerusalom as well as Rome Confessed by him further That as long as the Emperors were Heathen the Pope was subject to them in all civil Causes And That for above One thousand years his Judgment was not esteemed Infallible nor his Authority above that of a General Council Where was then the exercise or acknowledgment of this Supremacy and Infallibility of the Popes Was all the World a-sleep or ignorant so long of this Power which they now challenge to themselves Jure Divino No but the Pope I warrant you had not yet the opportunity to usurp and challenge it as he hath done since To four of these you see they have plainly yielded and the last they can never make good either from Scripture or Ecclesiastical History Add to these the Confession of that Learned Papist Father Barns That allowing the Bishop of Rome to have Supremacy elsewhere yet the Pope hath no Supremacy in Britain Insula autem Britanniae gavisa est olim privilegio Cyprio ut nullius Patriarchae Legibus subderetur And afterwards Videtur pacis ergô retineri debere sine dispendio Catholicismi absque Schismatis ullius notâ What can the Papists say to this so plain an acknowledgment But not designing to treat at large upon the Pope's Supremacy I have not as in the following subjects produced the Testimonies of Fathers and Councils against this Doctrine of Rome but shall advise the Reader to consult herein Bishop Jewel against Harding Article 4.

THE Protestant Church of England our Holy Mother admits of no other Rule for Faith and practice than the Holy Scriptures which according to the Apostles are able to make us wise unto Salvation The Church of Rome doth equal unwritten Traditions with the Holy Scriptures whom some of that Church do call a nose of Wax Another and that no less Man than a Cardinal affirms That the Scripture is no more to be believed in saying that it comes from God than Mahomet's Alcoran because that saith so too Another Cardinal saith That the Scriptures have no authority but for the Decree of the Church they mean the Roman Church by whom it ought to be regulated and not the Church be regulated by it and the reason is because as it is confess'd that the people would easily be drawn away from observing the Church's i. e. Romish Institutions when they should perceive That they are not contained in the Law of Christ and that their i. e. Popish Doctrines are not only different from but repugnant to the Holy Scriptures Hence doth the Church of Rome under severe penalties forbid the Laity the perusal of them and thereby involves every Lay-man in the guilt of being a Traditor which in the first Ages of Christianity was a crime next door to Apostasie Which act doth not only imply That the Popish Church refuseth to be try'd by the Test of God's Word but is diametrically opposite to the practice of the Primitive Christians as appears in the following Quotations The Romish Tenet of slighting the Scriptures is contrary to the Word of God Ioh. 5. 39. 2 Tim. 3. 16 17.
