A57847	The Tridentine-gospel, or, papal creed made at Trent, and promulgated at Rome, by Pope Pius IV : exhibited and demonstrated to be new, heterodox, and antichristian : in a sermon / by William Ramsay ... ; hereto is added, Pope Pius his Bull in Latine and English, necessary to be seen by all that would know the present faith of Rome, especially in these our nations where they conceal it.

appear_v that_o the_o pope_n do_v impose_v upon_o all_o his_o subject_n that_o pseudo-evangelium_a contrary_a to_o the_o receive_a gospel_n of_o christ_n then_o be_o i_o justify_v for_o desert_v the_o

but_o one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n eph._n 4.5_o so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o gospel_n of_o this_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o baptism_n and_o in_o this_o point_n there_o be_v no_o controversy_n the_o second_o point_n declare_v the_o immutability_n and_o unchangeableness_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n have_v such_o a_o foundation_n of_o eternal_a immutable_a and_o impregnable_a truth_n and_o holiness_n that_o no_o creature_n in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n can_v or_o may_v presume_v to_o

shall_v incur_v the_o curse_n and_o indignation_n of_o god_n and_o this_o point_n be_v also_o free_a from_o controversy_n the_o three_o be_v controversial_a and_o examine_v whither_o or_o no_o the_o

show_v that_o the_o present_a church_n of_o england_n profess_v and_o maintain_v the_o same_o in_o the_o three_o i_o will_v show_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n preach_v and_o impose_v a_o contrary_a gospel_n and_o consequent_o lie_v under_o the_o anathema_n of_o the_o spirit_n express_v in_o the_o text._n to_o resolve_v the_o first_o to_o wit_n what_o be_v that_o gospel_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n preach_v the_o usual_a way_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a doctor_n be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a word_n of_o god_n extant_a on_o earth_n and_o consequent_o the_o gospel_n which_o christ_n preach_v and_o his_o apostle_n after_o he_o be_v that_o doctrine_n only_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o write_a word_n and_o then_o see_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v formal_o express_v in_o the_o write_a word_n but_o the_o romish_a doctrine_n be_v neither_o contain_v there_o nor_o deducible_a thence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n but_o the_o romish_a gospel_n be_v another_o and_o
