Or A discourse prouing, that a man who beleeueth in the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Passion &c. & yet beleeueth not all other inferiour articles of Christian fayth, cannot be saued And consequently, that both the Catholike, and the Protestant (seeing the one necessarily wanteth true fayth) cannot be saued.

take_v from_o the_o former_a definition_n of_o faith_n as_o that_o the_o apostle_n himself_o present_o after_o the_o former_a word_n begin_v to_o instance_n in_o the_o several_a object_n of_o faith_n among_o diverse_a other_o example_n set_v down_o that_o to_o believe_v noas_n flood_n or_o the_o deluge_n of_o the_o world_n by_o water_n for_o sin_n be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o thus_o he_o

that_o the_o other_o of_o the_o protestant_n befalse_a or_o contrariwise_o we_o may_v therefore_o inevitable_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o salvation_n for_o any_o one_o to_o

the_o creed_n in_o their_o true_a sense_n or_o construction_n yet_o follow_v it_o not_o that_o this_o belief_n though_o it_o be_v necessary_a be_v sufficient_a alone_o for_o a_o man_n to_o obtain_v his_o salvation_n thereby_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o there_o be_v diverse_a point_n of_o christian_a religion_n houlden_v necessary_o to_o be_v

contain_v or_o express_v in_o the_o creed_n among_o other_o i_o will_v insist_v in_o these_o follow_v 12._o first_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a divine_a writing_n of_o infallible_a authority_n pen_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o we_o common_o call_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a &_o new_a testament_n of_o which_o testament_n we_o find_v no_o mention_n in_o the_o creed_n and_o yet_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o believe_v that_o such_o writing_n there_o be_v since_o otherways_o abstract_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a mean_n leave_v to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o break_v any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o which_o be_v more_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o true_a saviour_n of_o the_o world_n 13._o second_o that_o there_o be_v spiritual_a substance_n which_o we_o call_v angel_n which_o now_o enjoy_v the_o most_o happy_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o that_o many_o thousand_o of_o they_o do_v fall_v present_o after_o their_o creation_n and_o be_v become_v those_o malignant_a spirit_n which_o usual_o be_v term_v devil_n 14._o three_o that_o there_o be_v any_o material_a place_n of_o hell_n where_o the_o wicked_a be_v torment_v of_o which_o we_o find_v nothing_o in_o the_o creed_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o protestant_n for_o although_o the_o word_n hell_n be_v mention_v in_o that_o article_n he_o descend_v into_o hell_n yet_o by_o the_o word_n hell_n the_o grave_n be_v understand_v by_o most_o of_o the_o protestant_n 15._o four_o that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o damn_a shall_v be_v for_o all_o eternity_n and_o not_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n only_o 16._o five_o that_o adam_n do_v present_o upon_o his_o creation_n fall_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n

that_o s._n john_n baptist_n be_v our_o saviour_n precursor_n or_o forerunner_n and_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v choose_v to_o he_o certain_a man_n for_o his_o apostle_n which_o do_v first_o preach_v and_o plant_v the_o christian_a faith_n through_o out_o the_o whole_a world_n 20._o nine_o that_o circomcision_n be_v now_o forbid_a as_o a_o thing_n most_o unlawful_a and_o ungodly_a 21._o ten_o that_o there_o be_v any_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n institute_v by_o christ_n for_o the_o spiritual_a good_a of_o man_n soul_n 22._o eleventh_o that_o before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n antichrist_n shall_v come_v who_o shall_v be_v a_o design_v enemy_n of_o christ_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v labour_v to_o subvert_v and_o overthrow_v all_o christian_a religion_n 23._o these_o point_n beside_o some_o other_o all_o christian_n aswell_o protestant_n as_o catholic_n do_v believe_v and_o do_v hold_v that_o the_o belief_n of_o these_o point_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o yet_o not_o any_o one_o of_o all_o these_o article_n be_v express_v or_o set_v down_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a boundary_a to_o contain_v and_o limit_v a_o available_a faith_n for_o what_o hope_n can_v that_o man_n have_v of_o his_o salvation_n who_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v neither_o any_o divine_a scripture_n nor_o any_o decalogue_n common_o call_v the_o ten_o commandment_n nor_o that_o christ_n do_v work_v any_o miracle_n nor_o that_o he_o institute_v any_o sacrament_n nor_o that_o there_o be_v any_o place_n of_o hell_n for_o the_o damn_a nor_o final_o to_o omit_v the_o rest_n that_o there_o be_v any_o eternity_n of_o punishment_n 24._o and_o here_o i_o be_o to_o premonish_v the_o reader_n that_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o reply_v that_o most_o of_o all_o the_o foresay_a point_n be_v express_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v this_o i_o say_v avail_v not_o see_v here_o i_o dispute_v against_o those_o who_o maintain_v with_o wonderful_a pertinacity_n of_o judgement_n that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n to_o believe_v only_o the_o article_n &_o nothing_o else_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o creed_n but_o not_o any_o of_o the_o former_a article_n be_v contain_v therein_o again_o see_v to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o divine_a scripture_n be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o creed_n it_o conduce_v nothing_o to_o the_o answer_v of_o this_o our_o argument_n to_o say_v that_o the_o foremention_v article_n be_v prove_v out_o of_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v 25._o neither_o second_o can_v the_o force_n of_o our_o say_a argument_n be_v avoid_v in_o reply_v that_o all_o the_o former_a article_n be_v implicit_o comprehend_v in_o that_o article_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a church_n because_o the_o church_n teach_v that_o all_o these_o article_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v this_o be_v no_o warrantable_a answer_n by_o reason_n that_o as_o these_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o this_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n so_o also_o may_v all_o other_o point_v
