A13025	A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion.

salvation_n by_o his_o own_o good_a work_n so_o that_o whereas_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o a_o man_n be_v only_o justify_v and_o save_v by_o a_o true_a and_o livelie_a faith_n in_o

note_v leave_v the_o further_a consideration_n of_o they_o to_o the_o godly_a reader_n 5_o first_o therefore_o since_o all_o these_o thing_n do_v most_o lively_o show_v the_o extreme_a folly_n &_o high_a abomination_n of_o popery_n how_o ought_v all_o papist_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o religion_n how_o ought_v all_o protestant_n that_o sometime_o have_v be_v papist_n to_o be_v grieve_v

see_v by_o these_o thing_n how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n and_o how_o blockish_a we_o be_v if_o we_o be_v leave_v unto_o ourselves_o very_o there_o be_v no_o error_n so_o foolish_a so_o absurd_a so_o gross_a so_o abominable_a &_o so_o monstrous_a but_o that_o if_o god_n do_v forsake_v we_o if_o he_o take_v his_o spirit_n from_o we_o if_o he_o leave_v we_o to_o

to_o return_v from_o whence_o we_o have_v make_v this_o digression_n the_o papist_n do_v not_o only_o worship_v the_o cross_n relic_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n but_o such_o as_o be_v no_o relic_n

for_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o heavy_a as_o all_o the_o piece_n now_o lay_v together_o will_v be_v how_o so_o because_o ever_o as_o one_o piece_n be_v cut_v off_o the_o remainder_n do_v grow_v to_o the_o former_a greatness_n and_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n less_o than_o at_o the_o first_o but_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o piece_n cut_v off_o it_o still_o remain_v whole_a let_v
