FOR the better vnderstanding of what we are about to handle in this Treatise we must obserue first that the maine drift and scope therof is to shew how it is farre better and more secure to liue dye a Catholike in the Romaine Church then a Protestant in what Congregation soeuer not only because one of them doth condemne the other for Schismatickes and Heretikes as vncapable of saluatiō but also because Catholickes doe neuer affirme that Protestants liuing and dying Protestans may be saued not for want of charity in Catholickes as some doe cauill seing they desire nothing more thē the saluation of all but for want of true faith in Protestants without the which it is impossible to please God whereas Protestāts doe not deny that comfort to any vertuons Romaine Catholike so that for the saluatiō of ●or that brea●● saith D.

Catholickes we haue not only the beliefe of Catholickes themselues but also the iudgement of most Famous and Learned Protestants who teach the same eyther expressely or at least in such tearmes as with the help of their owne brethrē with whom they are sayd to agree at least in all materiall points may sufficiently be proued and in this sense are to be vnderstood the verdicts of all those which may seeme not to be so full and sufficient as the other in this Grand Protestant Iury. As for example Zanchius and other Protestants affirme that the Roman Church as yet is the Church of God Here in expresse words is not auerred that those who liue and die well in this Church may be saued which neuerthelesse according to the common doctrine of Catholikes doth plainly inough imply the possibility of saluatiō to all those who are members of such a Church For if they cannot be saued in the Church of God which is but one where els should they seeke for theyr saluation Or if they cannot but be damned in the Church of God M.

You may find aboue three score pointes of Catholicke Doctrine taught by learned Protestants through all the seauenth Section how doth such an assembly deserue to be stiled the Church of God and not rather the Synagogue of Sathan But if Zanchius or any other call the Church of Rome the Church of God although it haue some damnable errous which hinder the professors therof from their saluation I hope by clearing those imagined errours from being any such barres out of Zanchius his owne learned brethren euery one may inferre that Zanchius with the help of his brethren Protestants affoardeth saluation to all Catholickes liuing well and dying in the Church of Rome The helps which we haue out of learned Protestants be these To wit that neyther the beliefe of free will prayer to saints the reall presence trāsubstātiatiō receauing vnder one or both kinds worshipping of Images the Popes supremacy and the monarchy of the B. of Rome satisfaction merit of good workes priuate Masse seauē Sacramēts or any such taught by the Roman Church doe hinder any from being capable of their
