offence 4 The Iewes haue a religion which affirme Christ to be a cousner but to say that there is no other Purgatory but the bloud of Iesus Christ is a crime deserues the Inquisition 5 Euery Bishoppe of France may giue absolution for faults committed against the law of GOD but cannot absolue men of sinnes committed against the Pope and his Sea Also in the Roman Church they teach things absolutely contrary to the word of GOD in his Ghospell 1 GOD saith Exod. 20. Thou shalt not make the likenesse of things which are in the heauens or in the earth thou shalt not bow downe before them c. But in the Roman Church they paint the Trinity and kneele before the images of Saints 2 GOD saies in his law Six daies shalt thou labour The Pope saies thou shalt not labour six daies but shalt obserue the feasts of euery weeke GOD saies by his Apostle 1. Tim. 3. vers 2. 4. that a Bishop should be a husband of one wife onely and that his children should be subject to him in all reuerence but the Roman Church willeth that a Bishop haue neither wife nor children 4 GOD commandes by his Apostle 1 Cor. 10. that when we are inuited to the houses of Infidels we should eate of all that which is set be fore vs without making any scruple On the contrary the Roman Church commands thee when thou art inuited into the houses of Heretiques not to eate of all that which is set before thee in Lent and on Good-Friday 5. GOD saies by his Apostle 1 Cor. chap. 14. that it is better to speak fiue words in the Church in a tongue vnderstood of the people then ten thousand in an vnknowne tongue On the contrary the Roman Church serues GOD in an vnknowne tongue Neither doth she onely erre in this point but in many others also But it may be Sir you thinke that the Multitude warrants a religion I finde that Iesus Christ. Mat. 7. vers 13. would that we enter in by the strait dore saying that the way is large through which the multitude passeth and leadeth to destruction If you argue against me with signes and miracles I must answer you with my Sauiour that an adulterous nation demands signes and in the 13 of Saint Marke hee saith that false Doctors should come making signes and miracles to seduce If you seeke to conuince mee with the chaire of the Pope I answere you that the Pharises obiected to Christ the chaire of Moses and their succession and yet were the enemies of Iesus Christ Also Iesus Christ sends vs not to Chaires but to his word saying in Saint Iohn 10. that his sheepe follow him and heare his voyce And in the 8 chapter hee sayth If you perseuer in my word you shall be truely my Disciples Moreouer at this day the Syrian and Greeke Churches more ancient then the Roman vant of the like succession and condemne the Roman Church If you reply that in the word of GOD there are difficulties and obscure passages I answere that I make my selfe in such things neither iudge nor interpetor but this I am sure that I vnderstand inough in the Scripture to saue me And I assure you that since I turned to the true religion of Iesus Christ I haue learned more in two months then I did in all my life before I haue learnd since to belieue no longer by another mans faith The consideration of these odious errours makes mee exhorte you as you tender your saluation to thinke of these things and to deliuer your soule from this captiuity to the end that you may glorifie GOD on the earth if you desire to be glorified in heauen I beseech GOD that you may be Sir and rest FINIS Your humble friend and seruant DISGRVSTIERES
