Compiled as a necessarie supplement or fit appertinance to the authors former worke, intituled Synopsis papismi: to the glorie of God for the dissuading of light-minded men from trusting to the sandie foundation of poperie, and to exhort good Christians stedfastlie to hold the rockie foundation of faith in the Gospell.

them Math. 18. 20. Ergo it belongeth to the Pope to cal and congregate coūcels for to be assembled in the name of Christ is nothing else but to be gathered together by the popes authoritie which he hath receiued from Christ Bellarm. de concil lib. 1. cap. 12. So by this reason if two or three of the faithfull meete together in the feare of God Christ wil not be present vnlesse they haue the popes leaue to come together Christ said to Peter Put vp thy swoord into the scabberd Ergo the pope hath both swordes Harding ex Iuel pag. 579. A simple argument Peter was rather rebuked for striking with the swoord then commaunded to vse it The Church that is at Babylon saluteth you 1. Pet. 5. 13. Ergo Peter was at Rome for by Babylon here he meaneth Rome Bellarm. lib. 2. de pontif cap. 2. A silly argument to prooue Peters being at Rome he was at Babylō Ergo at Rome yet by their owne confession Rome is Babylon which is the seate of Antichrist Your faith is published through the whole world Rom. 1. 5. Ergo the Church of Rome can not erre Rhemist ibid. So S. Paule saith of the Church of the Thessalonians Your faith is spred abroad into all quarters 1. Epist. 1. 8. Ergo neither could their Church erre in faith God tooke of the spirit that was in Moses and gaue it among the 70. Elders Num. 11. 16. Ergo Bishops haue their authoritie from the pope Bellarm. Ans. The pope might rather chalenge to be Aarons successor who was the high priest then Moses And hath the pope then such abundance of the spirit of God that he can afoord a portion thereof to all the Bishops in the world and yet keepe enough for himselfe Melchisedech was both King and Priest Ergo the pope is also a temporall prince Bellarm. lib. 5. de Rom. pontif cap. 9. This argument beside that it hath no sequele at al containeth blasphemic for Melchisedech was onelye a type and figure of the spiritual kingdom and priesthood of Christ as the Apostle maketh the application Hebr. 7. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord Gen. 4. 26. Ergo there were Monkes before the flood Bellar. de Monach. lib. 1. cap. 5. Suffer little children to come vnto me Math. 19. Ergo young men and children may be made Monkes Bellarm. de Mon●ch lib. 2. cap. 35. God said to Abraham Go out from thy kinred and from thy fathers house Gen. 12. 1. forget thine owne people and thy fathers house Psal. 25. 10. Ergo it is lawfull for children without their parentes consent to enter into profession of Monkerie Bellarm. ibid. cap. 36. Nowe for purgatorie which they imagine to be a place of temporall torment after this life they reason thus out of scripture The prophet Dauid saith Lorde rebuke me not in thine anger nor chastise me in thy wrath Psal. 38. 1. Wee went through fire and water Psal. 66. 12. Who shall abide the day of his comming for hee is like a purging fire and as fullers sope Malach. 3. 2. Ergo there is a purgatorie fire after this life These arguments are too vaine for children As though where the Scripture speaketh of fire it must needs bee vnderstood of purgatorie fire whereas the prophet Dauid by water and fire vnderstandeth the afflictions of the Church and the Pophet Malachie the day of the Lords visitation The like pithie argumentes they ground out of the newe Testament as Math. 5. 22. Hee that is angry with his brother is culpable of iudgement hee that saith Racha shall bee iudged by a Councell Luke 23. the thiefe vppon the crosse sayd to Christ Remember mee when thou commest into thy kingdome Act. 2. 24. whom God hath raysed vp and loosed the sorrowes of hell as they read for it was impossible for him to be holden of it Ergo there is a purgatorie after this life Bellarm. de purgator lib. 1. cap. 4. loc 5. 7. 8. These bee their goodly arguments which if they prooue any thing do insinuate thus much that Christes kingdome is purgatorie as in the second place and that Christ himselfe was in purgatorie as it followeth by their collection out of the third place alledged And that a man for a rash word speaking shall be tormented in purgatorie which they say exceedeth all the paines and punishments of this life as out of the first place The like argumentes they haue for purgatorie drawen from prophane authoritie as from the Turkes Alcaron out of Plato in Gorgia out of Cicero in somnio Scip●onis and Uirgils Aeneads and last of all flames of fire doe breake foorth from the great hil Aetna and out of other places ergo there must needs be a purgatory Bellarm. cap. 7. 11. Are not these substantial arguments to ground a mans faith vpon for Bellarmine sayth it is an article of fayth to beleeue purgatorie and that hee which beleeueth it not is sure to goe to hell Lib. 1. de purgat cap. 11. Thus the vnbeleeuing Turkes the heathen philosophers and poetes are become maisters of Christian mens fayth Christ raysed Lazarus from the dead Ioh. 11. the rulers daughter Mat. 9. the widowes sonne Luk. 7. Ergo Wee ought also to pray for the deade Bellarm. lib. 2. de purgat cap. 15. Rom. 2. 7. To them which continue in weldoing glorie honor and immortalitie Ergo Saintes are to bee worshipped Bellarm. de Sanctor beatitud lib. 1. cap. 13. argum 7. Moses prayeth thus Remember O Lord Abraham Isaac Israel thy seruantes Exod. 32. Iob sayth haue pitie vpon me O my friends Iob. 19. 21. Ergo wee may and ought make our prayers vnto Saintes Bellar. ibid. cap. 19. these argumentes doe rather mooue laughter then minister any matter worthy of confutation The Israelites were commanded to strike the bloode of the Paschal Lambe vpon the two side postes of the doore and the vpper doore post Exod. 12. 7. Iacob laying his handes a crosse did blesse Iosephs sonnes Gen. 48. Apocalyps 14. 1. hauing his fathers name written in their foreheades this is the signe of the crosse Ergo it is an holy and venerable signe Bellarm. de imaginib Sanctor lib. 2. cap. 29. Is not this well reasoned for the crosse The Israelites were commaunded thrise a yeare to go vp to Ierusalem Deuteron 16. Christ went vp with his mother and Iosepth to Hierusalem Luk. 2. Paule made hast to go vp to Ierusalem to keepe the feast of Penticost Act. 20. Ergo now also Christians may go in pilgrimage to Ierusalem and to the holy Land Bellarm. de cult sanctor lib. 3. cap. 8. Thus we learne a new point of popish diuinitie that our sauiour Christ and the Apostles went in pilgrimage Whereas Christ him selfe saith the contrarie The time commeth when ye shall neither in this mountaine nor in Ierusalem worship the father Iohn 4. 23. This agreeth with an other popish tale that Christ came in pilgrims weede to S. Gregories table
