his conscience be neuer so pure it sanctifieth not the bodie of Christ Therefore there is no way for you to escape Goad If there bee transubstantiation then Christ is really present in his true body But Christ is not really present in his true body Ergo there is not transubstantiation Camp Christ is really present in his true body Goade He is not present in his sensible body Therefore not in his true body Campion I deny your argument Goade It is the argument of our Sauiour Christ who neither deceiueth nor can be deceiued Luk. 24. 39. See my handes and my feete that it is I handle me and see c. Here Christ proueth his true body to be present by the senses of seeing and handling as reasoning thus You see and feele my body Therefore I am present in my true body And it is not a spirite as you feare as if he could not haue bene seene and handled then not to be beleeued to be his true body Camp The argumēt of Christ is good The body that might be felt must needes be a true body The body of Christ is alwayes sensible but he doth whē it pleaseth him withdraw this propertie Goad Then by our Sauiour Christes reason we may doubt of the trueth of his body Camp It is said of Christ that he vanished out of their sight yet his body was visible And can not Christ bee present nowe without our seeing him Goad He was taken out of their sight and then howe could they see him but you say his body is present with vs. Will you chalenge more vnto you then Christ him selfe doth It pleased Christ to be iudged by our senses touching the presence of his body our senses do see feele smell and taste nothing but bread Campion Christes pleasure is ●…nough 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 ●…e him rise out of his sepulchre Goad It pleased the Lorde to holde their eyes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 astonished for feare so when he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it is true that wee can not vse this sense Campion Then his body may be 〈◊〉 to ●…s if he will yet he in him selfe is alwayes sensible so the cause of not seeing him is in him and not in mine eye Goade Yea if our eyes were holden that we could not see but it is manifest that the Apostles knewe nothing of this doctrine of reall presence in the sacrament before Christes resurrection For if they had bene taught before in the 〈◊〉 that Christ was present in the sacrament in his naturall bodie and yet they sawe and handled nothing els but bread this argument nowe after his resurrection drawen from their senses had bene of small force Campion Ye haue heard mine answere though now it pleased him to shew him selfe palpable yet there may bee impediment in him and also in vs why this is not alwayes so Here was no miracle when Christ did thus shewe him selfe but Christ wil be present in the sacrament miraculously Goad Let vs ende with prayer Wee yelde thee humbly thankes most gracious God and merciful father that it hath pleased thee to call vs to the knowledge and profession of thine euerlasting trueth reuealed in thine holy worde and although it bee the lotte condition of the same truthe alwayes to haue aduersaries and gainsayers that set themselues against the cleare light of thy word yet we beseech thee so to establish and confirme our faith in the knowen trueth that we be neuer offended by reason of errors and heretiques knowing that as there hath bene alwayes amongst thy people so there wil be still false prophets which priuily shall bring in damnable heresies yea there must be heresies in the Church that they which are approued may be knowen But rather O Lord by this meanes stirre vs vp the more to study and meditate in thy lawe And specially vouchsafe to worke in our heartes a greater measure of zeale and loue towardes thy truthe seeing that of thy iust iudgement thou vsest to sende strong delusions that they should beleeue lyes which woulde not receiue the loue of thy trueth And amongest the multitude of those that wander in blindnes and errour wee beseeche thee in thy good t●…e so many of them as pertaine vnto thy kingdome of thy mercie to conuert and the rest that are obstinate against thy trueth and glorie of thy iust iudgement to co●…de and finally to breake the might of Sathan by the power of our Lord Iesus Christ to whome with thee and the holy spirit be all glorie now and euer Amen William Fulke Roger Goade A remembrance of the conference had in the Tower of London betwixt M. D. Walker and M. William Charke opponents Edmund Campion Iesuite respondent the 27. of September 1581. as followeth 1. Whether the Scriptures containe sufficient doctrine for our saluation 2. Whether faith onely iustifieth MAster Charke beganne the action with this godly prayer but Campion refusing to pray with them becrossed himselfe on the forehead breastes and other partes after his superstitious maner Our helpe is in the name of the Lord who hath made heauen and earth O eternall God and most mercifull father we thy seruantes doe humbly acknowledge that we are by nature miserable sinners ful of darkenesse and errour without thee neither meete to receiue the loue nor able to yeelde the obedience of thy trueth Therefore wee beseech thee in Iesus Christ to throw all our sinnes into the bottome of the sea to chase away all our darkenes with the brightnesse of thy wisedome that we may growe vp in the knowledge in the loue and in the obedience of thy most holy will And because we are here assembled to maintaine thy trueth against the errour and superstition of Antichrist vouchsafe O Lord our God to be present in this action by thy holy spirit and so sanctifie our hearts and gouerne our tongues that our corrupt affections being suppressed all things may be done in a godly zeale for thy trueth and nothing against it Moreouer for those that are come to heare graunt that as many as loue thy Gospell may be more and more confirmed in the knowledge thereof by that which shal be faithfully deliuered out of thy holy worde such as be otherwise minded wee pray thee that they may yeelde either to the manifest trueth if they appertayne to thy holy election or being none of thine that they may appeare guyltie and conuicted of a lying spirite such as is gone out into the worlde to deceyue those that will not receyue the loue of thy trueth but delight in darkenesse These things O Lord and whatsoeuer thou knowest to be good for vs we aske in the name of Iesus Christ and by that forme of prayer which he hath taught vs. Our father c. After the prayer was ended M. D. Walker entred with this preface Walker Gentlemen ye shall vnderstande that we be sent hither by authoritie to talke conferre with one called Campion an English man borne

erre about the matter of resurrectiō the church of Galatia about the matter of iustificatiō Camp The Apostle though he wrote to all yet he meaneth but some fewe of them And what are these to the whole Church being but particular churches the militant Church of Christ cōprehendeth y● who le nūber of churches on earth As for y● error of y● church of Galatia it was no otherwise reproued then as preachers are wōt to reproue who are wōt to rebuke al for some y● are faulty Goade In deede you say some thing concerning that of Corinth I grant that the error was not so generall For he said Quidā inter vos c. Certaine amongst you c. But for the Galathians it was otherwise For the whole Church was iustly reproued according to that O you foolish Galathians who hath be witched you that you should not beleeue the truthe These wholy fell were not particular mēbers but whole Churches planted by the Apostles them selues replenished with speciall giftes of the holy Ghost And if these faded in the Apostles time in so great a matter what priuilege haue any other churches since y● they shuld not likewise erre so cōsequētly what priuilege hath y● militāt church Camp Make your argument then we shal see what ye will conclude Goade So then I make mine argument Whatsoeuer congregation doth erre in matters of faith is not the true Church But the Church of Rome erreth in matters of faith Ergo the Church of Rome is not the true Church Campion This is from the question M. Lieutenant might doe well to put vs in minde of the question Goad I remember the question well I bring an instance according to your meaning because you in saying that the Church cānot erre meane y● the church of Rome cānot erre this priuilege agreeth not to y● church of Rome which you say is y● true Church Campion I deny your Minor The Church of Rome hath not erred You suppose the Church of Rome to be y● true Church and I beleeue it Goad In deed I only suppose it for disputatiōs sake beleue it not but y● errors are infinit I should weary my self al y● company to rehearse many I omit inferior errors of lesse waight and moment and come to those that shake the foundation of faith Campion We shall then runne into all controuersies bring some proper errour that I my selfe shall coufesse to bee an errour that the church of Rome holdeth Goade Why a general must be taken away by particulars Campion That is true Goade Then I reason thus It hath erred and doeth erre in the foundation touching saluation by Christ Ergo it is subiect to errour Campion It doeth not God forbid it should But if you will properly proue it hath erred shewe me that some generall Councill hath erred Goade Well I will followe you in this poynt The Councill of Trent hath erred in m●…ny poyntes of doctrine and namely in the matter of iustification ergo a generall Council hath erred Campion I deny the Antecedent c. Goade It ascribech whole or part of righteousnesse to be inherent in our selues But this is an errour Ergo it errcth in iustification c. The very words I do not remember but this is the effect of the doctrine that Inhaerens iustitia est pars iustificationis That inherent righteousnesse is a part of iustification Campion The Councill hath no such wordes or if it haue it doth not ascribe any thing to righteousnes cleauing in our selues as of our selues but as giuen of God In deede it is in vs but as y● gift of God As there are vertues faith hope charity which must be in vs seruing to this righteousnes which yet are not of vs. Goade Whatsoeuer is in vs that must iustifie vs before the iust iudgement of God must be perfect But our righteousnes is not perfect Ergo our righteousnes cānot either in whole or part iustifie vs. Campion I answere your Maior it must be perfect according to that perfection that God requireth of vs in this life Goade This is most corrupt For God wil haue a perfect vndefiled righteousnes such as he hath set downe in his own law Qui fecerit c. He that shall do them shal liue in them Gal. 3. Againe Maledictus est omnis qui non permanserit in omnibus quae scripta sunt in libro Legis vt faciat ea c. Cursed is euery one that abideth not in all thinges that are written in that booke to doe them c. Campion I say God doeth not exact such a perfect righteousnesse according to the lawe for we are deliuered from that by Christ c. Goade Then we must rest on Christ alone but if we will be iustified by any part of righteousnes in our selues it must be perfect For Gods iustice alloweth no vnperfect righteousnes Doe you thinke you can fulfill this law c. Campion Yea that I can Goade Can you loue God aboue all things your neighbour as your selfe Can you loue him with all your heart with all your soule and with all your strength Campion I can For when I preferre God before all things and loue him chiefely I loue him aboue all Fulke Note that Blasphemous absurditie Goade If a man may fulfill the lawe to iustification then Christ dyed in vayne Campion What now shall we haue hissing c. Goade Sure it is worthy of hissing and of blusshing too if you had any feare of God before your eyes or conscience I praye God make you to vnderstand the absurdities that you holde that you may be ashamed of them and renounce them Campion Why is euery motion to sinne deadly sinne c. Goade You are like the Pharisee that thought the keeping of the law to consist in the outward letter What say you is not cōcupiscence the motions of the flesh against y● law of God sinne Campion No that they are not for if I being tempted refraine my selfe and when I haue a motion to euill bridle my selfe from it as if I see my neyghbours goods and haue a motion to steale and do not do I not herein loue my neighbour as my selfe If a man bee in the Queenes Iewell house where he may take some precious thing and bridle himselfe of it and abstaine shall this man be condemned What wil you cōdemne a man for euery litle tentation It is a good thing to be tempted c. Iam. 1. Blessed is he that endureth temptation Goade Ye abuse the place For it is vnderstode of afflictions And as for concupiscence it is the transgression of the law Thou shalt not lust ergo it is sinne But I will leaue this as impertinent to the purpose Consider that notable place in the ende of the fift chapter to the Corinth Epist. 2. Him that knewe no sinne he made sinne for vs that we might be made the righteousnesse of God in him not in

must eate The wordes which the Apostle vseth here are both the imperatiue mode in the Greke text Let him examine him selfe and let him eate and drinke Campion I graunt there are two precepts but this is the summe and ende Vt dignè edat That he may eate worthely Fulke Here is the booke see it and reade it this is the originall giue him the booke it is a reasonable great printe Campion You are stil vrging me to reade Greeke what childish dealing is this can I not see the imperatiue mode aswell in the Latine as in the Greke shall this disaduantage the cause I haue I thanke God and you shall know it asmuch Greke as wil serue my turne and when there is occasion to vse it I will shewe it But is not the Latin tōgue as good a tōgue as the Greeke c. Fulke You were best confesse your ignorance We make not tongues the measure of the truthe but we bring the originall to preuent your cauillations and your finding faulte with translations But I will deale with you with an other argument The whole Church did thinke it necessarie for infantes to receaue Ergo the whole Church hath erred c. Campion Nowe we shall haue a question whether infantes may receaue so we shall runne into all questions Fulke Not so But I will proue that Innocentius Bishop of Rome and all the Church with him as S. Augustine confesseth held this error that it is necessary for infantes to receiue the communion which you your selfe holde to be an error seeing you affirme it is not of necessitie by Christes commandement that any lay men should receiue it You shal heare the wordes of Augustine and of Innocentius both as Augustine citeth them Why are you afraide of the place before you come at it let me reade it Saint Augustine citeth the wordes of Innocentius out of his Epistle to the Bishops of Numidia Lib. 2. ad Bonifacium contra duas epist. Pelag. cap. 4. Haec enim eius verba sunt Illud vero quod eos vestra fraternitas asserit praedicare paruulos aeternae vitae praemijs etiam sine baptismatis gratia posse donari perfatuum est Nisi enim manducauerint carnem filij hominis biberint sanguinem eius non habebunt vitam in semetipsis qui autem hanc eis sine regeneratione defendunt videntur mihi ipsum baptismum velle cassare For these are his wordes But where as your brotherhoode affirmeth them to preach that litle children may be rewarded with the gift of eternall life euen without the grace of Baptisme it is a very foolish thing For except they shall eat the flesh of the sonne of mā and drinke his blood they shall haue no life in them selues But they which defende this vnto them without regeneration seeme to me that they wil make frustrate baptisme it selfe Upon which wordes of Innocentius Saint Augustine inferreth Ecce beatae memori●… Innocentius papa sine baptismo Christi sine participatione corporis sanguinis Christi vitam non habere paruulos dicit Behold the Pope Innocent of blessed memorie saith that litle children cannot haue life without the participation of the body and blood of Christ. In these wordes Saint Augustine sheweth the generall practise of the Church was that infantes should receaue because it was thought necessary vnto saluation Campion It was onely a practise it was no opinion of necessitie of saluation Fulke Saint Augustine writeth against the Pelagians that held that Baptisme was not necessarie for infantes and that infantes might be saued without Baptisme against whome he reasoneth thus Infantes cannot be saued without they receaue the communion but they cannot receiue the communion vnles they be first baptized ergo infantes cannot be saued vnlesse they be baptized And to proue that they cannot be saued except they receaue the communion he alleaged the decree or diffinitiue sentence of Innocentius Campion Saint Augustine sayth not that the whole churth thought it necessarie to saluation But when Innocetius commanded that infantes should communicate it was but a necessitie of the commandement the necessitie was not in the thing but to keepe the vnitie of the Church and so no error of faith but a lawful practize of the Church but shewe the decree Fulke You haue heard the wordes of Innocentius out of his synodicall Epistle and thus Saint Augustine citeth his decree Ecce beatae memoriae Innocentius papa sine baptismo Christi c. Lo Innocentius the Pope of blessed memorie c. Campion There is no such decree I will beleeue none of your notes He saith they be damned vnles they be baptized but he sayeth not they be damned except they receaue the communion Fulke He saieth both you shall see the booke seeing you will not credit my notes Goade Upon supposition as before I will suppose as you beleeue cōcerning the Church of Rome The head as you hold him of that Church hath erred in matter of faith ergo the Church being the members are subiect to error Campion I denie your Antecedent Goade Saint Peter did erre in faith and that after the sending downe of the holy Ghost vpon him and the rest therefore the principall head of the Church as you accompt of Peter Campion He did not erre in faith I knowe the place Gal. 2. It was a matter of manners not of doctrine For it was but a litle dissimulation Goade It was matter of doctrine for it was somewhat concerning that where about the Coūcill was gathered at Hierusalem touching Circumcision Campion Ye vtterly mistake it for it was about the obseruation of the Lawe by the Gentiles and not concerning Circumcision Goade I nowe well remember it was not directly about the question of Circumcision But it is certaine Peter was in that error that the Gospell pertained not at all to the Gentiles vntill hee was reformed by vision Act. 10 For then at lēgth he said Nunc tandem comperio c. Now at length I finde c so hee was for a time in error But for the place Gal. 2. it is saide Non ambulauit recto pede ad veritatem euangelij Hee walked not with a right foote according to the truth of the Gospel c. Camp It was but a small matter of dissimulation in maners Goade The text saith Paul withstoode him to the face because he was blame worthy and iustly to be reproued therefore it was no small matter And Augustine against Hierome De Petro iure reprehenso Epist. 19. doth iustifie this open reproofe by S. Paul though Hierome laboured to lessen this faulte c. Campion And so do I. But this proueth not that it was any matter of faith Fulke It was against the truthe of the Gospell Truthe is contrary to error Ergo it was an error of faith Camp I haue saide the faulte was in maners for dissimulation When I sawe that he did not walke well or right c. as at

tantum loco esse potest veritas autem eius vbique diffusa est c. The body of Christ wherein hee rose againe from the dead can be onely in one place but the trueth of Christ is spread euery where Campion All this is true according to nature but in the sacrament it is a miracle Goade Augustine denieth any miracle to bee in the Sacramentes therefore you can not flee to miracle The very words I nowe remember not but I am sure I haue read it to that effect Fulke His wordes are as I thinke Sacramenta honorem vt religio sa habere possunt stuporem vt mira habere non possunt Our Sacraments may haue reuerence as things religious holy but they can not be wondered at as things straunge miraculous Goade Peter saith Act 3. Whome the heauens must holde till the restauration of all things Campion What will you make him a prisoner nowe in heauen must he be bound to those properties of a naturall body Heauen is his palace and you would make it his prison Goade They are the wordes of the holy Ghost Whom the heauens must conteine vntill c. It becommeth not you so to iest at them and specially considering your state being a prisoner ye should not so play with the worde of God I see nowe the modestie I heard reported to be in you is cleane contrary I would to God you would make more conscience in speaking more reuere●…ly of such Diuine matters Campion I am a prisoner for religion but touching Christ his bodie why I pray you might not tha●… same naturall bodie which by nature being heauy and yet ascended vpward steppe by steppe and pearced those thicke Christall heauens which are harder then any christall walked vpon the waters and ●…orow the doore being shut why may not the same ●…y like 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 many places at once Fulke It were a hard matter for you to prooue that the heauens are harder then christall Campion I can proue it Goade The text doeth not say that hee came thorowe the doores being shut but hee came when the doores were shut the doores by his diuine power giuing place to his body as the brasen gates in the Actes did vnto Peter of their owne accorde Besides these other thinges you speake of they were extraordinarie workes c. Cāp The text is plaine that he came in by a great miracle Fulke First there is no wordes in the ●…xt to enforce a miracle notwithstanding I am content to graunt that he came in miraculously which might bee either the doores opening of their owne accord vnto him as was saide they did vnto Peter or by giuing place vnto his diuine power Camp If he neither came thorowe the doores nor wrought a miracle how came he in Belike he played some iugling tricke Fulke That is a vile blasphemy It appeareth you haue great reuerence of Christ that speake so blasphemously of him and beare no more reuerence to his holy worde Campion Why what would you call it if it were not a miracle it must be some such thing Fulke It might be a miracle though he came not thorow the doore for he came after the doores were shutte Is it a necessarie consequence to say such a one came in after the doores were shut ergo he came thorow the doores What tempus is the verbe Campion I thinke it be the Aoriste Fulke The word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I pray you what tempus is it Campion The perfect tempus euen as clausis the Latine worde is Fulke But you did English it before the doores being shut which is the present tempus Campion You know it is the phrase of our English speach Fulke Our Englishe phrase will beare as well after the doores were shut Here Master Lieutenaunt shewed them the time was past and so they left off William Fulke Roger Goade A remembrance of the conference had in the tower with Edmund Campion Iesuite by William Fulke and Roger Goade Doctors in Diuinitie the 23. of September 1581. as foloweth The assertions of Campion were these 1. Christ is in the blessed Sacrament substantially very God and very man in his naturall body The 2. After the wordes of consecration the bread and wine are transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ. FIrst Master Lieutenaunt in a short and pithie speache exhorted Campion to consider what great fauour her Maiestie shewed him that hee might haue conference with the learned to reforme his errours when they shoulde bee playnely conuinced out of the worde of God c. Campion I do acknowledge that I am beholding to her Maiestie If she haue appoynted this conference to instruct me thinking me to be out of the way I can not but be thankefull to her Maiestie for the same Yet I protest being resolute in my conscience that I come not with my minde so suspended as to doubt of my cause but my intent is to doe you good as you would instruct me so would I instruct you as you would drawe me so would I drawe you Therefore take my intent in good part as I would do yours I come to giue an accōpt of my faith I am not vnresolute This said he crossed himselfe after his superstitious maner Fulke Let vs begin with prayer O eternall and most mercifull God we humbly thanke thy Maiestie that thou hast lightened our mindes with the knowledge of thy trueth we hartily beseeche thee to confirme encrease our faith alwayes in the same and at this time graunt that we may so defende thy trueth that thou mayest haue the glory the obstinate heretike may be confoūded the weake may be strengthened we all may be edisied in Iesus Christ through whome we make our prayers and to whome with thee and the holy Ghost the Spirite of trueth be all honour and glory Amen We are earnestly moued because of the confusion the other day that it might be auoyded nowe to desire that we might haue some Moderator if we might intreate any of these learned men that are present to take the paynes otherwise that it might please Master Lieutenaunt when one argument is done to commaunde vs to go to another And also when we haue accepted an answere not to suffer the aduersarie to carie the matter with multitude of wordes so that we be neither forced to leaue our argument as though we could followe it no longer nor the aduersarie permitted with large discourses to spende the time vnprofitably contrary to the right meaning of this conference But before we enter into the matters appoynted wee haue to discharge our credite for the authoritie of the Fathers whom we alleadged the last day in the afternoone when wee had not the bookes ready to shewe because the question was then vpon the suddaine both chosen and disputed vpon all within two houres whereupon we promised to bring the bookes as this day because the aduersarie would not credite our allegations

time of the institution Camp Nay we ground sufficiently vpon that place though Christes body be now glorified yet we do not builde vpon glorification but vpon the wordes This is my body which Christ hath spoken and therefore it is his body Goade But you are not yet resolued what kinde of body It is an other now from that it was then Camp Yet the same bodie though differing in condition Christ cannot be wounded now as afore yet the same flesh Goade I do not denie the same body in substance to bee nowe that was then but you see that the presence of a glorified bodie which you affirmed is not grounded vpon Hoc est corpus meum But I leaue this argument Goade Let vs conclude with prayer Almightie Lord and merciful father we yeelde thee humble thankes for thy manifolde benefites bestowed vpon vs especially y● thou hast vouchsafed vs the knowledge and loue of thy heauenly trueth contained in thy holy worde which thou hast denied vnto many others leauing thē in their owne peruerse blindnes we beseeche thee to encrease daily in vs more and more the true knowledge of thee of thy sonne Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent vouchsafe to make thy truthe so much the more deare and precious vnto vs for that it hath enemies that daily seeke to obscure and impugne the same and as for those that goe a●…traie so many of them as pertaine vnto thy kingdome we beseeche thee in thy good time to call to lighten their mindes and to mollifie their heartes that we may together with one heart and one mouth glorifie thee thorowe our Lord Iesus Christ. Amen ❧ The disputation in the afternoone the same daye The second question or assertion of Campion The question After the wordes of Consecration the bread and wine are transubstanciated into the body and blood of Christ. Fulke LEt vs beginne with prayer O almightie God and most merciful father we humbly submit our selues before thy maiestie and doe vnfainedly acknowledge that our heartes are full of ignorance and blindnes so that wee cannot vnderstande thy wonderfull trueth by our selues nor see it when it is reueiled by thee except it please thy maiestie by thy holy spirite to lighten our darkenes giue sight to our blindnes Wherefore we humbly beseech thee to assiste vs by thy grace and to giue vs sight to see thy trueth and strength to defende the same against all thine enemies that the weake may be confirmed the obstinate confounded and thy name glorified through Iesus Christ our Lorde Because you tooke a time to finde those wordes which you reported to be in my booke and I see the booke in your hand I pray you reade them if you haue founde them Camp The booke is mistaken it is not that booke I meant Fulke It is the booke that you named Camp I am sure you do not disclame the opinion Fulke As I tolde you in the forenoone I do disclame it in such sorte as it was vttered by you which you are not able to proue to be affirmed by me Campion You make inuocation of Saintes a matter of great waight Fulke The Church did erre in that point but not as you Papistes do erre in it There is great difference betweene their errour and yours But let vs come to the appointed question which is against Transubstantiation I proue there remaineth the substance of bread and wine in the sacrament after consecration Our Sauiour dranke the same that his Apostles did But our Sauiour dranke wine Ergo his Apostles dranke wine Camp I deny that our Sauiour dranke of the cōsecrated wine Fulke The words of the Euangelist are plaine that our Sauiour Christ spake I wil drinke no more from henceforth of the fruite of the vine These wordes are plaine of wine for the blood of Christ is not the fruite of the vine Camp This signifieth that our Sauiour did eate indefinitly whether hee did eate of the same bread or drinke of the same cup of wine which he gaue I doubt of it he did eate drinke with thē Fulk He protested that he would not drinke any more of that which he gaue But that which he gaue vnto them was wine Therefore he dranke of the same wine Camp This text conuinceth it not Fulke Yes plainely Camp He speaketh of that wine which was drunke at supper for all was wine if there had bene 20. gallons before consecratiō Fulke He speaketh of the wine in his hande for whereto els hath the pronowne this relatiō After he had taken the cup in his hand immediatly he faith I will not drinke any more of this fruit of the vine Camp He had supped with them hee had eaten the Pascall lambe with them he would not take any more repast with them in this life till his resurrection as afore therfore it is to be referred to the action that went before Fulke It is plaine that he speaketh of the same wine which he had in his hande which he gaue vnto them And Chrysostomes wordes declare the same in Math. Homil. 89. Sedcuius rei gratia non aquam sed vinū post resurrectionem bibit perniciosam quandā haeresin radicitus euellere voluit eorum qui aqua in mysterijs vtuntur ita vt ostenderet quia quando hoc mysterium traderet vinum tradidit iam post resurrectionem in nuda mysterij mensa vino vsus est Ex germine autē ait vitis quae certè nō aquam sed vinū producit But for what cause did he not drinke water but wine after his resurrection His purpose was to pull vp by the rootes a certaine pernicious heresie of them which vse water in the mysteries so that he shewed that both when he deliuered this mysterie he deliuered wine and nowe also after his resurrection in the onely table of the mysterie hee vsed wine Of the fruite of the vine saith hee which verely bringeth foorth wine and not water Campion All this makes for me Fulke You shall heare howe it maketh for you Here you see that he dranke of that which he deliuered to his disciples And he dranke wine Therefore he deliuered wine to his disciples Campion He deliuered that which had the shew of wine doth he say that he gaue wine Fulke He saith Vinum tradidit He deliuered wine or he gaue wine Campion Goe to he deliuered consecrated wine He did consecrate wine and did giue it vnto them Fulke He gaue consecrated wine Ergo he gaue wine Campion I denie your argument for consecrated wine is not wine Fulke Then he gaue wine that was not wine For Chrysostome saith Vinum tradidit He gaue wine Camp He gaue that that was wine Fulke Chrysostome sayth That which hee deliuered was wine when he deliuered it or els howe did hee take away the heresie of those that brought in water if he had not giuen wine Campion The meaning of Chrysostome is to bring in wine against

Charke I do not onely thinke but knowe of a certeintie that you are deceiued and will shewe you the booke Camp Note this obiection This is myne answere to it Hermogenes the Heretike did alleadge a bastard tradition and Tertullian doth call him to proue his opinion by true scriptures For Tertullians argument is not to say It is not written Therfore it is not true but to call him to proue the Scripture true which he alledged for him Charke And note this answere He that euen now knewe no such booke taketh presently vpon him to discourse of the argument thereof What great boldnes is this From what present reuelation doth it come Beside your boldnes your error is great in affirming that Hermogenes brought a bastard tradition For there is no such thing as may appeare to any man that for triall hereof wil reade the booke Hermogenes is cōfuted for saying as an Aristotelian Philosopher the God made al things of materia prima Againe of your answere I conclude that of necessitie the proofe of euery particular tradition must be by a true scripture And it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a generall position Tertullian would haue Hermogenes proue all that he helde by scripture Camp I say it is not to shewe a bastard writing for his tradition but that which is true scripture Charke And that is all I aske for what do I seeke more but to proue that euery tradition must be proued by true Scripture when therefore you Iesuites bring in vnwritten traditions concerning your Candles your vnholy graines your Agnus deis and such beggerly stuffe wherewith you abuse and pester the world Tertullian sayth you bring a Vae vpon your selues except you can proue the vse of them by Scriptures Camp Why I say it must needes be proued there or els it is not to be receaued Charke Remember what you graunt I aske no more To leaue Tertullian with you to aduise better of I alledge also a place of Basill out of his treatises called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 capite 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This place doth clearely establish the sufficiencie of scripture and banisheth all vnwritten and selfe will worshippings Consider the place for it is worthy of consideration as making against you in this question and charging you with pride and apostasie for bringing in things not written Camp Well let these your speaches passe Reade the place S. Basill is not against vs. Charke 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. It is a manifest Apostasie or falling away from the faith and a fault of high pride eyther to dissalowe any thing written in the Scriptures or to bring in any thing not written seeing the Lorde hath sayde My sheepe heare my voyce with other arguments to that purpose Camp I will not trouble the auditorie with this place For Basill declareth that in some things we must be referred to tradition he speaketh onely for the alleadging of false scriptures and hath nothing against me Charke Then nothing can make against errour if this make not agaynst you But you abuse the auditorie and knowe not the drift of Basill in this place and that I will make euident to all the companie Take the booke and reade it if you can the place is easie Greeke and the sentence but short Camp I had rather reade it in Latine then in Greeke I vnderstande the Latine better I maruell you are so much in your Greeke Charke If I shoulde not haue brought it in Greeke but in Latine then you woulde haue taken exception against the interpreter I bring not the interpretour but Basill him selfe in the tongue wherein hee wrote Here Campion being long in turning the Latine booke coulde not finde the treatise but desired Master Charke to finde it who answered I haue it readie in Basill him selfe If you flee to the interpretour turne your owne booke Camp I haue answered you Saint Basills meaning is as it was then a common doctrine that it is a great fault to disalow true scriptures or to bring in false scriptures and to father a false writing vpon the Apostles Charke I protest that hauing perused the circumstaunces of the place I finde no such generall or particular drifte of the father as you misreport but a playne doctrine and sundrie argumentes to proue it that nothing is to be receiued or brought into the Church that is not written Camp Your protestation is no argument I am acquaynted with this dealing since the other day But the scope of Saint Basill is as I haue saide Charke My true protestation doeth ouerway your misconstruing as wel of Basill nowe as of Tertullian before and therein I referre my selfe to the examination of both places If you will or can read but twentie lines further your owne eyes shal see and giue sentence against your selfe Camp I haue giuen you the sense of the Doctours wordes and neede not reade the place Charke Reade first and then answere What Authour or what place can make against you if you will of your selfe frame an interpretation after your owne purpose without reading the wordes or making conscience what construction you giue Campion Saint Basill in other places is of a contrary iudgement and I am sure he is not contrary to him selfe The Apostles had fayth before they wrote and therefore it must needes be the scope Charke What kinde of answere is this Speake to the purpose or confesse your insufficiencie Basills owne woordes in this place doe euidently proue that hee is against you answere them or acknowledge your selfe not able to satisfie the Doctour Campion Was all written when the Apostles first taught Charke Is this any answere to Basill Propounde no newe questions but answere the former place so full against you Camp You see mine answere Charke I see and all men may see your vntrueth to shift off the matter Basills wordes are too strong against you To your newe question I answere that since the worde of God was first written that which hath bene written conteyned sufficient matter to saluation Campion Then what needed so many additions since of the Prophets and Apostles writings if we had sufficient before Charke The most honourable addition of the Prophetes and Apostles serued to a clearer manifestation of Christ of whome Moses had written before but added nothing to the substance In the after noone The Question Whether faith onely iustifieth M. Charkes prayer OUr helpe is in the name of the Lorde c. Almightie God merciful Father we acknowledge against our selues that we were conceiued and borne in sinne and corruption that wee remaine vnprofitable to any thing that is good and most prone and ready to that which is euill in thy fight Ignorance doeth possesse our mindes and dulnesse ruleth in our vnderstanding so that of our selues wee can not see into thy glorious and excellent trueth and in our selues wee finde no health nor hope of health Therefore according to thy riche mercie O Lord take

away our sinnes and heale all our diseases through the righteousnesse of Iesus Christ our onely saluation Open our eyes we beseech thee that wee may at this time beholde and so frame our hearts that we may gladly embrace thy most holy trueth as thou hast left it vnto vs by thy holy seruants the Prophets and Apostles Graunt this knowledge and loue of the trueth with dayly increase not onely to vs O Lorde who through thy grace alreadie make profession thereof but also vnto all those that yet set them selues against the same that they acknowledging the trueth of thy word may cleaue to it forsaking all superstitious vanities and seeing the all sufficient righteousnes sacrifice of thy only sonne may lay hold of it denying them selues renouncing their own merites falsly named righteousnes Graunt vs these things O heauenly Father for thine onely sonnes sake Iesus Christ our alone sauiour redeemer in whose name we aske the praying as he hath taught vs Our Father c. Walker We haue in the forenoone entreated of the Canonicall scriptures and of their sufficiencie Now we haue to entreate of fayth God graunt vs grace that we may see the trueth and hauing fayth may rest in it to our endelesse comfort Let vs before we enter into the matter declare somewhat concerning the state of the question We holde therefore that we are iustified by fayth onely and that freely no other woorkes concurring for that purpose And yet we set not downe a bare and naked fayth as our aduersaries charge vs. For we confesse that fayth hope and charitie are coupled and lincked together and that loue is the greatest But we affirme that fayth onely is that instrument whereby we lay holde vpon the loue of God which is the onely foundation of our saluation By that title therefore wee exclude all mens workes and vertues as meritorious and onely looke to the merits of Christ. Camp I will declare to you my meaning also Wee are agreed that God doeth iustifie and for Christs sake onely through his grace and through his mercie alone through his Sacraments and through baptisme Thus farre we agree but herein we disagree For we say that when God doth iustifie he doth giue vs of his grace three distinct giftes fayth hope and charitie and these are as three causes of iustification and charitie a principall cause which frameth the first act in vs. We say therefore that as grace is put in vs in iustification so also our righteousnesse is enlarged through good workes and is inherent in vs. Therefore it is not true that God doeth iustifie by fayth onely Charke Campion you are not to vse your old sleight in running from the matter and loading one thing vpon an other The question is whether we be iustified by faith onely that is now that which is in question to be decided 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and you are not to change the state of the question Walker Well let your declaration stande for defence although we agree not For there are sundry causes of iustification finall and middle But faith is the first thing in vs that receiueth iustification and yet it is not of vs. Camp I grant that there are mo causes then one Walker Well though I be an olde man and haue bene long from the vniuersitie I meane yet to examine you in the grounds of these things and to go with you from poynt to poynt and so we shall find out our disagreement best I pray you what is the Etymon of fayth Camp It is called fayth Quia fit quod dictum est Because it is performed that is spoken as I take it Walker That is true Dicitur a fiendo quia Dominus fidelis est Because the Lorde is faythfull standing to his worde and keeping his promise with vs. But in vs fayth is a certaintie or sure perswasion and therefore it is called by the Apostle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or elenchus foundation or argument It is therefore the ground and before all other things that come after it as the foundation is before the building Camp I grant it But what inferre you hereof Walker This I inferre Fayth is the grounde and before all things that come after it Ergo it is before hope and charitie Camp In nature it is before them but it doth not iustifie before they do come Walker Prius and posterius First and last bee taken diuers wayes It is not before Tempore but Dignitate ordine Not in time but in dignitie and order Camp That is contrarie to S. Paul For he sayth Charitas est maior Loue is greater Walker You must vnderstand what Paul meaneth therby It is Maior duplici respectu It is greater in a double respect In respect of God and in respect of men and so extendeth further Camp Uery well I like your causes well but it is simplie greater and more excellent Walker Let me proceede then It is greater in that it is more necessarie to the life of man and also in diuturnitie because it neuer dieth nor hath any ende Camp I grant you all this But what are those to the matter of iustification But let me adde a thirde also that it is dig●…ior because faith and all good workes are nothing without loue But let vs heare your argument Walker The ground is before that which is grounded vpon it and in all good order we vse to set the most worthie first Thus therefore I reason Faith is the foundation ergo before the other Camp If you meane in dignitie it is not true It is before in order but not in dignitie For the roote is not more worthie then the tree though it be afore it Walker Paul sayth Fundati radicati in fide speaking of the assurāce they had in their saluation And it was necessarie they should be thus grounded and rooted in the faith before they could bring forth the fruits of faith The fruits were good works which were not the cause of their iustification but the effects of men engraffed in Christ iustified already this root was before the fruit Camp I grant as before In order but not in worthinesse For the fruit is more worthie then the roote Walker Omnis causa efficiens est dignior effectu Euerie efficient cause is more worthie then the effect Camp I deny that faith is the efficient cause of good works It is a cause antecedent but not efficient But we are agreed vpon this Let vs go to another argument Walk Uerie well it is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a sure argument of things that are not seene a thing vndoubted Camp Where is the place It is called the foundation of euerlasting life and an argument of things not seene because I knowe it is by no other argument but by fayth But what inferre you Walker You shall heare anon What is Subiectum fidei the subiect of fayth and what is Obiectum fidei the obiect of fayth In quo
