The answer It is a very sillie argument Peter onlie is named ergo he is named as chiefe of the companie It is a poore prerogatiue that can be wonne for Peter by such kinde of reasoning The Apostles amongst whom he was conuersant knewe nothing of this his prerogatiue and superioritie as appeareth by their reasoning of the case diuerse times which of them should be greatest or chiefe And therefore it is plaine and euident that you want better helpes when you are faine to staie vp Peters authoritie with such weake proppes Luke 8. 50.

The text And you are puffed vp and ⸫ haue not mourned rather that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this deede The note Christian men should be sorowfull to see greeuous offences borne withall and ought zealouslie to seeke the offenders punishment by excommunication The answer This note agréeth not with the open practise of your church of Rome wherein not onlie Curtisans are maintained for money but also the sinne of Sodom both fréelie practised and also praised and commended 1. Cor. 5. 9. The text I wrote to you in ⸫ an Epistle not to keepe companie with fornicators The note Either this epistle in the words before or some other The answer I take it to be some other for that I sée no reason to lead me to thinke it to be this 1. Cor. 5. 11. The text But now I wrote to you not to keepe companie if he that is named a brother be a fornicator or a couetous person or a ⸫ seruer of idols or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner with such a one not so much as take meate The note A notorious wilfull corruption in the Bible 1562. translating in the verse before idolaters and here worshippers of images the Apostles word being one 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 idolater The answer A marueilous iudgement of God is vpon you that contrarie to the expresse commandement of God contrarie to the whole course of scriptures you maintaine that worshipping of images is not idolatrie Your quarrell to the translation is answered by Doctor Fulke against Martinius As for your selues you bow to the wood whereof part hath serued to warme men and part to dresse their meat denie it if you can 1. Cor. 6. 2. The text Or know you not that the ⸫ saints shall iudge of the world The note The faithfull iudge and giue sentence with God at the latter daie speciallie the Apostles and the perfect Christians that haue forsaken all for Christs sake The answer The promise of iudging the world is generall to all true christians and not restrained to perfect Christians But that is intollerable that you plant the perfection of Christians in them selues that is in their owne doing whereas our perfection is the doing and perfect obedience of our Lord Sauiour Iesus Christ. 1.

The text Do not erre neither fornicators nor ⸫ seruers of idols nor adulterers nor the effoeminate nor the liers with mankinde nor theeues nor the couetous nor drunkards nor raâ—â—ers nor extortioners shall possesse the kingdome of God The note For this the English Bible 1562. falselie translateth worshippers of images The answer A foole must be alwaies plaieng with his bable your quarell is not woorth the answering so oft An idol in Gréeke is the same that we call image in English but you can not abide that an image should be called an image but you can abide to commit as grosse and foule idolatrie as euer there was anie in the world 1. Cor. 6. 18. The text Euerie sinne whatsoeuer a man doeth is without the bodie but he that doeth fornicate sinneth ⸫ against his owne bodie The note Fornication is not onely an enimie to the soule but wasteth weakeneth corrupteth and defileth the bodie more properly and directly than any other sinnes do The answer Your note is true and yet some of your side do prefer fornication before marriage in some persons and all your priests refuse the remedie that God himself hath ordained against fornication 1.

Cor. 7. 8. The text ⸫ But I say to the vnmarried and to widowes it is good for them if they so abide euen as I also The note Before he treated of the continencie of such as were married now he giueth lessons for the vnmarried also The answer But you refuse to learne both the one and the other For neither you will admit euery man to haue his owne wife neither yet will you leaue the profession of virginitie to be taken or left as euery man feéeleth in himselfe strength for that to be giuen to him or not to be giuen to him of God 1. Cor. 7. 23. The text You were bought with price be not made the ⸫ bond men of men The note You must not serue men so that you obey or please them more than God The answer The pope exacteth that seruice his extollers flatterers and clawbacks bestow it vpon him and generally all papists vnder that color and pretence withdraw euen their lawfull obedience from their soueraignes and lawfull princes 1. Cor. 7. 28. The text Art thou loose from a wife seeke not a wife But if thou take a wife ⸫ thou hast not sinned The note Virginitie counselled as the better marriage not forbidden bicause it is no sinne The answer Why haue you not thrust virginitie in amongst your sacraments sith you hold it absolutely better than matrimonie You speake very nicely of marriage being one of your sacrements Uirginitie counselled marriage not forbidden The reasons bicause virginitie is the better but marriage no sinne Is that the best reason you can giue for the not forbidding of marriage or can you affoord it no better commendation Is marriage a sacrament and no where counselled nor commanded Sure that were very strange The admirers of virginitie make marriage no better than sinne For the end of it is death saith Ierom in his first booke against Iouinian But to leaue your fansies of marriage and virginitie this I say that either of them is better than other as time place persons and other circumstances do serue for the choise of the one or the other Marriage is the holie ordinance of the almightie commanded to all

The text And this is the testament which I will make to them after those daies saith our Lord giuing my lawes ⸫ in their hartes and in their mindes will I superscribe them and their sinnes and iniquities I will remember no more The note This is partlie fulfilled by the grace of the new Testament but it shal be perfectlie accomplished in heauen The answer This note I will not impugne but it commeth as a rose among nettles which a man can hardlie cul out without stinging of his handes Hebr. 10. 20. The text Hauing therefore brethren confidence in the entring of the holies in the blood of Christ which ⸫ he hath dedicated to vs a new and liuing way by the vaile that is his flesh c. The note To dedicate is to be the author and beginner of a thing The protestants translate he hath prepared for their heresie that Christ was not the first man that entered into heauen The answer Wée shunne not the word dedicate which you your selues haue borrowed of a protestant for it is as good and fit as the other And you charge vs wrongfullie with that which we holde not for we all affirme that Christ was the first man that euer caried the whole humane nature substance of man consisting of an humane bodie and of a reasonable soule into heauen Hebr. 10. 29. The text A man making the Lawe of Moises frustrate without anie mercie dieth vnder two or three witnesses ⸫ how much more thinke doth he deserue worse punishment which hath troden the sonne of God vnder foote and esteemed the blood of the Testament polluted wherein he is sanctified and done contumelie to the spirit of grace The note Heresie and Apostasie from the Catholike faith punishable by death The answer This doth plainly and manifestly reprooue the ouermuch clemencie vsed in this Realme and Church of England towarde froward and obstinate papists who by your owne conclusion are by Gods lawes punishable by death Hebr. 10. 35. The text Do not therfore loose your ⸫ confidence which hath a great remuneration The note Good works make great confidence of saluation and haue great rewarde The answer Good works being testimonies of our election fruits of our faith witnesses that we be led and guided by the spirit of God do nourish and increase our confidence in God whom we knowe to haue adopted vs in Christ for his children It is true also that God doth most liberally reward all good things which he worketh in his children Hebr. 11. 1. The text And faith is ⸫ the substance of things to be hoped for the argument of things not appearing The note By this word substance is ment that faith is the ground of our hope The answer Or rather that faith is the very substance and being of things which yet appéere not nor are not séene and therefore are hoped for Hebr. 11. 5. The text By faith ⸫ Henoch was translated that he should not see death and he was not found bicause God translated him The note Heere it appeereth that Henoch yet liueth and is not dead against the Caluinists See the Annot. chap. 11. Apoc. The answer Why do you not couple Saint Paule with the Caluinists doth not he saie that death reigned ouer all from Adam to Moyses Was not Henoch one of these all or did he not liue within the time there limited yet it is true that Enoch and Elias did not die after the common and ordinarie maner of other men but were translated and haue in extraordinarie maner and sort deposed the corruptible flesh that with Christ they may enioy blessed rest and quietnes Hebr. 11. ◠The text But without faith it is impossible to please God for he that commeth to God must beleeue that he is and is a ⸫ rewarder to them that seeke him The note We must beleeue that God will reward all our good works for he is a rewarder of true iustice not an accepter or imputer of that that is not The answer It is true that God of his goodnes and bountie will rewarde euery good worke and it is true that God rewardeth true iustice that is the good that they do that in sinceritie and truth séeke him though it deserue none But that which you adde sheweth that you care not how directly you oppose your selues to the truth of Gods word so that you may bleare the eies of the simple with somewhat Is not the iustice of Christ our iustice is it in vs reallie or by imputation Héeretofore you haue séemed to haue bent your force to prooue some iustice besides imputatiue iustice and now you would haue imputatiue iustice quite strooken out of the booke least God should be an imputer of that which is not Our sinnes were not in Christ and yet they were imputed to Christ and Christ was punished for them why shall it not then stand as well with Gods iustice that though Christs iustice be not actually and really in vs yet it be both imputed to vs and we crowned and rewarded for it Hebr. 11. 19. The text Wherevpon he receiued him also ⸫ for a parable The note That is in figure and mysterie of Christ dead and aliue againe The answer The truth of this note we acknowledge Hebr. 11. 22. The text By faith Ioseph dieng made mention of the going foorth of the children of Israell and gaue commandement ⸫ concerning his bones The note The translation of relikes or saints bodies and the due regard and honor we ought to haue to the same are prooued hereby The answer Ioseph in this commandement touching his bones shewed his assured faith and constant beléefe that God in his good time would kéepe and performe his promise touching the inheritance of the land of Canaan The children of Israell in translating his bones shewed their care of truth in kéeping the promise which they made vnto him The honor yea all the honor they did to him or his bones when they came into the lande of promise and were possessed of it was to sée him or them honestly laide in the graue What maketh all this for your superstitions The saints of God neither gaue you nor your fathers charge to translate their bones The cause of your translating them was not any due regard to them but profit to your selues by making marchandise of their carkasses and by abusing
not onely to God but also to Christ as man and our redeemer and so they here do The answer That the same honor glory and praise which is giuen to him that sitteth in the throne is also giuen to the lambe and that of all creatures both here and in other places manifestly prooueth that Christ as he was our priest and redéemer was both God and man For otherwise it had not béene lawfull to giue him the same honor and glorie which we giue to God Apoc. 6. 11. The text And white stooles were giuen to euerie one of them ⸫ one and it was said to them that they should rest yet a little time til their fellow seruants be compleate and their brethren that are to be slaine euen as they The note This one stoole signifieth the glorie and blisse of the soules onely but at the day of iudgement they shall haue it doubled by adding the glorie of their bodie also The answer We allow of this note as of our owne But is there nothing to be noted in the opening of the former fower seales and the horses and that this vision of the soules of the martyrs was deferred to the opening of the fift seale Is it not a declaration that persecution for religion for the testimonie of the truth should then haue his full force and swaie when the fourth monarchie grew to or toward an ende But if you would open your eies to espie this you woulde not so please your selues and delight in your persecuting church here shadowed or prophesied of 〈…〉 The text And I saw when he had opened the sixt seale and ⸫ behold there was made a great earthquake and the sunne became blacke as it were sackecloth of haire and the whole moone became as blood The note The tribulation that shall fall in the time of antichrist The answer As there be that enterpret this of the tribulation that hath or shall fall vpon the earth for the contempt of the word so comprehending the calamities that haue befalne since antichrist inuaded the papal seate so there be also that enterpret this of the end of the world and Christs comming to iudgement To whom I assent rather for these two causes One for that the signes here are the same which the Euangelists set downe to be signes of the end of the world The other bicause nothing but the sight of so great and excellent maiestie as our Lord and Sauior shall come withall to iudgement can daunt and in such order terrifie the great potentates and princes of the earth that they know not whether to turne them how to escape or where to hide themselues Apoc. 7. 3. The text Hurt not the earth and the sea nor the trees ⸫ till we signe the seruants of our God in their foreheads The note It is an allusion to the signe of the crosse which the faithfull beare in their foreheads to shew they be not ashamed of Christ. Saint August tract 43. in Io. The answer Christians in the primitiue church when the confession of Christ was ioined with worldly ignominie did to shew how little they were ashamed of Christ crucified signe themselues with the signe of the crosse But since you papists haue brought in so many foule abuses about the crosse that where papists are it is very dangerous to haue any vse of it Howbeit in this place what is meant by the signe or seale of God I thinke it safest to learne of Saint Paule who telleth vs that the foundation of God remaineth sure and hath this seale that the Lord knoweth who are his Which knowledge of God causeth his to be safe at the last day when he executeth vengeance vpon the whole worlde besides Apoc. 7. 4. The text And I heard the number of them which were signed an hundred fortie foure thousand were signed ⸫ of euerie tribe of the children of Israel The note Of all the tribes put togither so many 144000. The answer To this I can say nothing but this your note is true your text is vntrue Apoc. 7. 5. The text Of the tribe of Iuda twelue thousand signed c. vnto the ninth verse The note He signifieth by these thousands and the multitude following all the elect of the Iewes to be in certaine number the elect of the Gentiles to be innumerable The answer Your collection for the number of the elect shall stand for me Apoc. 7. 11. The text And after this I sawe ⸫ a great multitude which no man could number of all nations and tribes and people toongs The note The elect of the Gentiles The answer This note might haue béene syared for they are starke blinde that cannot sée it without your direction Apoc. 7. 9. The text Standing befor the throne and in the sight of the lambe clothed in white robes and ⸫ palmes in their hands The note Boughes of the palme tree be tokens of triumph and victorie The answer These notes may be put amongst your works of supererogation Apoc. 7. 14. The text These are they which are come out of great tribulation and haue washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lambe c. to the end of the chapter The note The glory of martyrs The answer Which is more and greater than is possible for man to merit Apoc. 8. 3. The text And another Angell came and stood ⸫ before the altar The note The priest standing at the altar praieng and offering for the people in the time of the high mysteries Christ himselfe also being present vpon the altar is a figure of this thing and thereunto he alludeth The answer Now the masse is a figure of this vision the priest is a figure of the Angell and we must imagine Christ either hanging ouer the altar or lieng vpon the altar and to this saint Iohn alludeth héere And all this must néedes be true our Rhemists who cannot forge faine lie nor erre haue set it downe and we must receiue it on their credit And so their masse came from heauen as sure as they are honest men or as sure as if it were sealed with butter Apoc. 8. 4. The text And the smoke of the incenses ⸫ of the praiers of the saints ascended from the hand of the Angell before God The note If this be saint Michaell or any Angell and not Christ himselfe as some take it Angels offer vp the praiers of the faithfull as the 24. elders did chap. 5. For this word Saints is taken heere for holy persons on earth as often in the scriptures Though it be not against the scriptures that the inferior saint or Angell in heauen should offer their praiers to God by their superiors there but heerby we conclude against the protestants that it derogateth not from Christ that Angels or saints offer vp our praiers to God As also it is plaine of Raphael Tab. 12. 12. The answer Such premisses such conclusion You must haue that which you dare not certainly set
sée that he that maketh a lie can not enter considering it appéereth in all your workes and especiallie in these notes that you thinke it not dishonestie or shame commonlie to lie And another thing I would haue you to consider of why this celestiall citie is called rather by the name of Ierusalem then of Rome séeing that if your doctrine be true Rome hath greater priuiledges vpon earth then euer had Hierusalem and therefore were méeter to shadow that celestiall citie Apoc. 22. â— The text In the middest of the streete thereof and on both sides of the riuer ⸫ the tree of life yeelding twelue fruits rendring his fruit euerie moneth and the leaues of the tree for the curing of the Gentiles The note Christ is our tree of life in the Church by the blessed Sacrament and in heauen by his visible presence and influence of life euerlasting both to our bodies and soules of whom Salomon saith The tree of life to all that apprehend him Prouerb 3. The answer It is true that Christ is this trée of life and that he worketh life and health by the ministerie of his worde and sacraments to beléeuers And that the knowledge of the benefits which we haue by Christ is the leaues wherebie the Gentiles receiue health and are cured and that Christes bodilie presence not in the Sacrament but in heauen preserueth eternallie the bodies soules of them that shalbe saued Apoc. 22. 8. The text And I Iohn which haue heard and seene these things and after I had heard and seene I fell downe ⸫ to adore before the feete of the angell which shewed me these things and he said to me Stand vp for I am thy fellow seruant The note You see it is all one to adore before the feete of the Angell and to adore the Angell though to adore him be not expressed as in the 19. chapter See the annotation there verse 10. The answer If your note be true then how can you adore before images and not adore images For if to adore before an Angel to adore an angell be all one then how is it not also al one to adore before an image and to adore an image Your annotation shall receiue answer amongst the rest Apoc. 22. 11. The text And he that is iust ⸫ let him be iustified yet and let the holie be sanctified yet The note Man by Gods grace and doing goodworkes doth increase his iustice The answer This is according to your accustomed maner dallieng and deluding with words ambiguous It is manifest that the Apostle reiterating one and the same thing in diuerse wordes doeth by the latter expresse the meaning of the former Our iustice therefore but not our iustification before God may be increased by the meanes you speake of for it is properlie Gods iustice and not ours whereby we are iustified before him Gods iustice I call the obedience of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ which God imputeth to those whose sinnes he pardoneth and which can onlie abide the rigour of Gods examination according to his perfect rule of iustice that is the lawe Mans iustice I call the fruits and effects of the spirit of regeneration which do more and more dailie abound and increase in the godlie as knowledge and faith doeth more and more encrease The text Behold I come quickelie and my reward is with me to render to euerie man ⸫ according to his workes Apoc. 22. 12. The note Heauen is the reward hire and repaiment for goodworkes in all the Scriptures and yet the aduersaries will not see it The answer That our good workes deserue or merite heauen is the thing which we can not sée nor you shew through all the Scriptures And yet you cease not to make lame and halting arguments that followe not for if alwaies vpon reward deseruing necessarilie followeth then it must follow that your fellowes which haue bene rewarded with the gallowes haue also deserued the gallowes which if you graunt then you ouerthrowe the concertation of your Catholike church the chéefe purpose whereof was to iustifie traitors FINIS Deut. 6. vers 7. 8 9.
