Or A discourse prouing, that a man who beleeueth in the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Passion &c. & yet beleeueth not all other inferiour articles of Christian fayth, cannot be saued And consequently, that both the Catholike, and the Protestant (seeing the one necessarily wanteth true fayth) cannot be saued.

only_o believe_v availeable_o &_o true_o the_o creed_n who_o believe_v it_o in_o that_o sense_n in_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v write_v it_o &_o see_v there_o be_v mere_a different_a or_o rather_o

his_o salvation_n thereby_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o there_o be_v diverse_a point_n of_o christian_a religion_n houlden_v necessary_o to_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o judgement_n both_o of_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n &_o according_o be_v believe_v joint_o both_o by_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n and_o yet_o the_o say_a point_n be_v not_o contain_v or_o express_v in_o the_o creed_n among_o other_o i_o will_v insist_v in_o these_o follow_v 12._o first_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a divine_a writing_n of_o infallible_a authority_n pen_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o we_o common_o call_v the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a &_o new_a testament_n of_o which_o testament_n we_o find_v no_o mention_n in_o the_o creed_n and_o yet_o all_o man_n be_v bind_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o believe_v that_o such_o writing_n there_o be_v since_o otherways_o abstract_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n there_o be_v not_o sufficient_a mean_n leave_v to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o break_v any_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o which_o be_v more_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o true_a saviour_n of_o the_o world_n 13._o second_o that_o there_o be_v spiritual_a substance_n which_o we_o call_v angel_n which_o now_o enjoy_v the_o most_o happy_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o that_o many_o thousand_o of_o they_o do_v fall_v present_o after_o their_o creation_n and_o be_v become_v those_o malignant_a spirit_n which_o usual_o be_v term_v devil_n 14._o three_o that_o there_o be_v any_o material_a place_n of_o hell_n where_o the_o wicked_a be_v torment_v of_o which_o we_o find_v nothing_o in_o the_o creed_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o protestant_n for_o although_o the_o word_n hell_n be_v mention_v in_o that_o article_n he_o descend_v into_o hell_n yet_o by_o the_o word_n hell_n the_o grave_n be_v understand_v by_o most_o of_o the_o protestant_n 15._o four_o that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o damn_a shall_v be_v for_o all_o eternity_n and_o not_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n only_o 16._o five_o that_o adam_n do_v present_o upon_o his_o creation_n fall_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o thereby_o transfer_v original_a sin_n upon_o all_o mankind_n so_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o fall_n all_o man_n be_v bear_v in_o original_a sin_n 17._o six_o that_o the_o world_n be_v once_o

that_o s._n john_n baptist_n be_v our_o saviour_n precursor_n or_o forerunner_n and_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v choose_v to_o he_o certain_a man_n for_o his_o apostle_n which_o do_v first_o preach_v and_o plant_v the_o christian_a faith_n through_o out_o the_o whole_a world_n 20._o nine_o that_o circomcision_n be_v now_o forbid_a as_o a_o thing_n most_o unlawful_a and_o ungodly_a 21._o ten_o that_o there_o be_v any_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n institute_v by_o christ_n for_o the_o spiritual_a good_a of_o man_n soul_n 22._o eleventh_o that_o before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n antichrist_n shall_v come_v who_o shall_v be_v a_o design_v enemy_n of_o christ_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v labour_v to_o subvert_v and_o overthrow_v all_o christian_a religion_n 23._o these_o point_n beside_o some_o other_o all_o christian_n aswell_o protestant_n as_o catholic_n do_v believe_v and_o do_v hold_v that_o the_o belief_n of_o these_o point_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o yet_o not_o any_o one_o of_o all_o these_o article_n be_v express_v or_o set_v down_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a boundary_a to_o contain_v and_o limit_v a_o available_a faith_n for_o what_o hope_n can_v that_o man_n have_v of_o his_o salvation_n who_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v neither_o any_o divine_a scripture_n nor_o any_o decalogue_n common_o call_v the_o ten_o commandment_n nor_o that_o christ_n do_v work_v any_o miracle_n nor_o that_o he_o institute_v any_o sacrament_n nor_o that_o there_o be_v any_o place_n of_o hell_n for_o the_o damn_a nor_o final_o to_o omit_v the_o rest_n that_o there_o be_v any_o eternity_n of_o punishment_n 24._o and_o here_o i_o be_o to_o premonish_v the_o reader_n that_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o reply_v that_o most_o of_o all_o the_o foresay_a point_n be_v express_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v this_o i_o say_v avail_v not_o see_v here_o i_o dispute_v against_o those_o who_o maintain_v with_o wonderful_a pertinacity_n of_o judgement_n that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n to_o believe_v only_o the_o article_n &_o nothing_o else_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o creed_n but_o not_o any_o of_o the_o former_a article_n be_v contain_v therein_o again_o see_v to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o divine_a scripture_n be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o creed_n it_o conduce_v nothing_o to_o the_o answer_v of_o this_o our_o argument_n to_o say_v that_o the_o foremention_v article_n be_v prove_v out_o of_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v 25._o neither_o second_o can_v the_o force_n of_o our_o say_a argument_n be_v avoid_v in_o reply_v that_o all_o the_o former_a article_n be_v implicit_o comprehend_v in_o that_o article_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a church_n because_o the_o church_n teach_v that_o all_o these_o article_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v this_o be_v no_o warrantable_a answer_n by_o reason_n that_o as_o these_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o this_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n so_o also_o may_v all_o other_o point_v controvert_v between_o the_o catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n reduce_v to_o the_o say_a article_n see_v the_o church_n of_o god_n set_v down_o what_o be_v the_o truth_n &_o what_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o say_a controversye_n bind_v her_o child_n under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n aswell_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o controversye_n of_o our_o day_n as_o to_o believe_v the_o former_a article_n mention_v which_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o creed_n and_o yet_o these_o our_o newtralist_n in_o religion_n who_o make_v the_o creed_n the_o sole_a square_n of_o their_o faith_n do_v not_o think_v that_o those_o question_n of_o religion_n insist_v upon_o between_o catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n be_v in_o believe_v or_o not_o believe_v of_o
particular_a choice_n to_o insist_v upon_o omit_v some_o other_o of_o like_a nature_n because_o we_o see_v that_o most_o or_o all_o of_o they_o do_v immediate_o and_o principal_o as_o be_v above_o say_v touch_v the_o mean_n of_o purchase_v of_o grace_n of_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o obtain_v of_o salvation_n be_v maintain_v for_o such_o by_o the_o catholic_n but_o utter_o deny_v &_o reject_v by_o protestant_n and_o here_o i_o now_o urge_v two_o thing_n first_o if_o these_o former_a doctrine_n as_o they_o be_v believe_v by_o the_o catholic_n do_v immediate_o concern_v salvation_n and_o become_v necessary_a mean_n thereof_o then_o can_v the_o protestant_n as_o reject_v all_o such_o doctrine_n and_o such_o mean_n both_o in_o belief_n &_o practice_n be_v save_v but_o if_o by_o a_o supposal_n they_o be_v not_o of_o that_o nature_n but_o false_a in_o themselves_o and_o the_o contrary_a doctrine_n true_a then_o can_v the_o catholic_n as_o believe_v false_a doctrine_n immediate_o touch_v man_n salvation_n and_o according_o practise_v they_o be_v save_v from_o which_o fork_a argument_n it_o may_v most_o demonstrative_o be_v infer_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o both_o the_o catholics_n and_o the_o protestant_n the_o one_o part_n believe_v the_o other_o part_v not_o believe_v the_o foresay_a doctrine_n shall_v both_o be_v save_v for_o who_o neglect_v necessary_a mean_n shall_v never_o attain_v to_o the_o design_a end_n of_o the_o say_a mean_n second_o i_o urge_v that_o a_o false_a belief_n not_o only_o in_o these_o article_n but_o also_o in_o any_o other_o controversye_n between_o the_o catholic_n and_o the_o protestant_n be_v plain_a heresy_n and_o this_o because_o every_o false_a belief_n be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o definition_n of_o heresy_n as_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o election_n &_o choice_n of_o a_o new_a or_o false_a doctrine_n wilful_o maintain_v against_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o the_o catholic_n or_o protestant_n for_o their_o persist_v in_o this_o false_a belief_n or_o heresy_n shall_v be_v damn_v 10._o but_o here_o i_o will_v stay_v myself_o wade_v no_o further_a in_o the_o disquisition_n and_o search_n of_o the_o great_a dissension_n between_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n touch_v faith_n and_o belief_n only_o i_o will_v reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o premise_n of_o the_o two_o last_o chapter_n and_o here_o since_o it_o be_v make_v most_o evident_a first_o that_o the_o protestant_n and_o catholic_n do_v main_o differ_v in_o the_o sense_n and_o construction_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n and_o consequent_o see_v the_o sense_n and_o not_o the_o word_n make_v the_o creed_n that_o they_o both_o do_v not_o believe_v one_o and_o the_o same_o creed_n but_o have_v to_o themselves_o several_a creed_n from_o whence_o sufficient_o be_v discover_v that_o want_v of_o unity_n in_o faith_n among_o they_o both_o which_o unity_n be_v so_o necessary_o require_v to_o man_n salvation_n as_o in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n be_v demonstrate_v second_o that_o though_o by_o supposition_n they_o do_v believe_v the_o creed_n &_o the_o sense_n thereof_o with_o a_o unanimous_a consent_n yet_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v diverse_a other_o article_n not_o contain_v in_o the_o creed_n which_o be_v indifferent_o believe_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n both_o by_o catholic_a and_o protestant_n three_o see_v also_o there_o be_v sundry_a controversy_n in_o religion_n as_o be_v above_o exemplify_v which_o immediate_o concern_v salvation_n be_v houlden_v as_o necessary_a mean_n thereof_o by_o the_o catholic_n but_o disclaim_v from_o and_o abandon_v by_o protestant_n as_o main_n error_n and_o false_a doctrine_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o manifest_a error_n to_o make_v the_o creed_n the_o sole_a rule_n of_o faith_n 11._o therefore_o from_o all_o the_o former_a premise_n i_o do_v aver_v that_o he_o who_o maintain_v that_o both_o catholic_n &_o protestant_n and_o consequent_o man_n of_o any_o religion_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o one_o side_n do_v necessary_o believe_v and_o maintain_v heresy_n can_v be_v save_v or_o that_o every_o christian_n can_v obtain_v heaven_n be_v whole_o deprive_v of_o all_o true_a judgement_n reason_n and_o discourse_n and_o for_o want_v thereof_o may_v deserve_o

in_o her_o definition_n of_o faith_n or_o condemnation_n of_o heresy_n this_o point_n be_v warrant_v by_o innumerable_a text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v upon_o thy_o wale_n

that_o what_o man_n soever_o hould_v any_o erroneous_a opinion_n touch_v faith_n and_o be_v advertise_v thereof_o by_o god_n church_n and_o not_o yield_n his_o judgement_n in_o all_o humility_n

with_o false_a doctrine_n &_o therefore_o see_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v with_o one_o of_o they_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o other_o not_o submit_v their_o judgment_n to_o it_o be_v
