neuer read or sÃ©e much lesse did they authorise it for Canonicall scripture and the pure word of God and consequently albeit they haue both the Hebrew and the GrÃ©eke locked vp in their studies and Libraries yet for as much as they preferre their owne vulgar Latin translation commonly called Saint Hieromes and cruelly bind and tie all diâ—â—nes to â—sâ— the same in all schooles and pulpits and no textes sentences or allegations to be admitted saue onely out of the same it followeth by an ineuitable consequente and necessary deduction that their Canonicall so supposed Bible is not Canonicall but in very dÃ©ede the word of man this is confirmed because the Papists this day violently obtrude for Canonicall sundry bookes of the old Testament which are not in the Cannon of the Hebrewes neither yet deliuered to the Church by Christ or his Apostles Theoph. I now remember a straunge saying of the Iesuite Parsons viz that many parts of the Bible were doubted of long after the death of the Apostles which argueth to me that their vnwritten traditions are fallible and their doctrine new Remig. The Popes religion Chaugeth euery day by reason of new reuelations made vnto his Holinesse but from whence they came wheather from Heauen or from hell that cannot I tell let the reaâ—er iudge this I am assured of that their owne learned maisters cannot agrÃ©e about their reuelations Melchior Canus a learned Popish Bishop affirmeth constantly that the Church hath no new reâ—elations in matters of faith but the Popes minorite Fryer Tâ—telmannus otherwise a learned man indÃ©ede telleth vs an othertale viz. that many mysteries of diuine truth are daily reuealed to the Church euery day more and more and thus by reason of their Popish feined reuelations the late Romish faith doth daily encrease aboue mans expectation and is as like the old Roman religion as Yorke is like soule Sutton I will now make an end of this question referring you for the rest to the Iesuites Antepast where you may find at large concerning this subiect whatsoeuer your heart can desire but before I end the conference let me aske you a merry question what will you say if for a parting blow with the Iesuite Parsons I proue out of his owne printed booke as also out of the Iesuiticall Cardinal Bellarmine euen in that booke which he dedicated to the Popes holinesse with which booke he so pleased the Pope that he made him Cardinâ—ll for the same that all the bookes Chapters verses and sentences which are admitted for Canonicall are actually proued in holy scriptur to be truly Canonical Gods pure word without the mixture of mans worde which for all that is that mighty point of faith which the said two Iesuites and all Iesuited Papists contend with might and many to be an vnwritten tradition of the Church Theoph. What will I say Is that your question I will tell you both what I will say and doe I will say you haue done that which to this day was euer thought impossible and this I promise to cause the same to be written in Marble with golden Letters and to put the stone in Saint Peters Church at Rome In Perpetuam rei memoriam Remig. Be attentiue and marke well what I deliuer for I trust by Gods helpe to proue it most substantially these are the expresse words of S. R. or of Robert Parsons that Trayterous and brasen faced Iesuite First conclusion is all such points of Christian faith as are necessary to be actually belÃ©eued of euery one that hath vse of reason though he be neuer so simple are actually coÌ„teined in scripture either clÃ©erely or obscurely these are Parsons words I neither adde any thing chaunge any thing nor take any thing away the Iesuite Bellarmine hath these expresse words These obseruations being marked I answere that all those things are written by the Apostles which are necessary for all men which the Apostles preached openly to all the vulgar people but that all other things are not written These are the Cardinals words I cite them most sincerely I hold it a damnable sinne to bely the Diuel Out of these testimonies I gather very plainely that all things which euery one is bound to belÃ©eue are actually conteined in the holy scripture and consequently yâ— all the bookes chapters verses sentences which are admitted for Canonical are truly Canonicall Gods pure word without yâ— mixture of mans word which conclusion for all that is it that both our Iesuites and all their cursed Iesuited broode doe violently impugne Theoph. The Papists would seeme to frustrate your conclusion because they onely beleeue it for the testimony of the Pope and Church of Rome Remig. They would gladly sÃ©eme indÃ©ed to doe many things which they are not able to performe But the truth is as I haue said thus both briefly pithily I proue the same Whatsoeuer is necessary for euery Christian the same is contained in the scriptures of the Apostles but the knowledge of all the Bookes Chapters Uerses and Sentences admitted for Canonical to be truly Canonicall and the pure word of God is necessary for euery Christian ergo the same is conteined in the Scriptures of the Apostles The conclusion of this argument cannot be denyed because it is a perfect Syllogisme in the first figure and in the third made called Darij The proposition is confessed both by Cardinall Bellarmine and by the Iesuite Parsons You haue heard their expresse words truly alledged as themselues in printed bookes haue set them downe so then the difficulty if there be any at all resteth in the assumption viz. if to know the holy Bible to be Canonicall and the pure word of God be necessary for euery Christian which being a fundamentall point of religion is so cleere and so apparant to euery one as methinkes it is a nÃ©edlesse labour to take in hand to proue the same But I proue it first because the knowledge of the holy Gospel euery part thereof is necessary to euery on s saluation Secondly because the Papists themselues doe euer vrge the same as a necessary point of faith and saluation so often as it sÃ©emeth any way to make for their vnwritten traditions Thirdly because all the articles of faith deduced out of the sciptures depend thereupon for these are the Iesuite S. R. his owne words yet this is a point of the Christian faith yea thereupon depend all the articles we gather out of Scripture Thus disputeth our Iesuite in his pretensed answere to the Downe-fall of Popery after he hath bitterly many times denyed that the holy Scripture doth shew it selfe to be Gods word but the force of truth is so mighty in operation the while of malice he striueth against it he vnawares confoundeth himselfe and pleadeth for the truth in very dÃ©ed Fourthly because the Iesuite S. R. vrged and as it were deadly wounded with the sharp pikes of his

the truth of Popish mangled materiall succession that you wil loath and detest the same for euer The famous Papist Onuphrius Panuinius reckoneth vp thirty Schismes in the Church of Rome But I for the present content my self with two whereof their owne dÃ©ere Fryer Bartholomeus Carranza can instruct them sufficiently The former Schisme endured for the space of 64. yeares during which time their godly Popedome was at a vnion in France not one day at Rome albeit as yÃ©e know your Pope Cardinals and Iesuited Popelings beare the world in hand that God placed their holy sâ— supposed seate at Rome In the latter Schisme of the twaine thrÃ©e of their holy Bishops were Popes at one and the selfe same time to wit Iohn the 24 of that name Bennet the 13. and Gregory the 12. Out of which discourse two things of great moment are to bÃ©e obserued First that it is a mÃ©ere foolery to chalenge any singular prerogatiue by Saint Peters death at Rome Againe that that succession cannot but bÃ©e vncertaine which is deriued from thrÃ©e Bishops striuing and grinning for the Popedome as dogges do for a bone Theoph. The Popes or Bishops of Rome chalenge S. Peters priuiledges because he died at Rome Remig. What must Bishops liuing 64. yeares in France be priuiledged at Rome because S. Peter dyed there better reason it were to grant the chÃ©ekest prerogatiue to the Bishops of Hierusalem because Christ our Lord and maister dyed there Theoph. Although three did striue at once for the Popedome yet could there be but one Pope at one and the same time Remig. Two no small absurdities doe perforce arise from hence The one that the succession of the Popes of Rome whereof they glory somuch is very doubtfull and vncertaine The other that the Church of Rome was many yeares without a head and so by popish doctrine without an infalible iudge in matters of their faith But I will tell you a greater mystery A woman is not capable of holy orders as Christs Apostle assureth vs nor of any Ecclesiasticall function in the Church and consequently the Popish succession which is deriued from our holy mistresse Pope Iohn cannot possibly bÃ©e of force Here the Church of Rome hath vtterly forsaken her succession and is not comparable to our Church of England in that behalfe Theoph. If it were possible for a woman to bee inthronized into Peters chaire at Rome then as you say popish succession were ouerthrowne indeede it cannot be gainsaid But such a thing neither hath beene neither is neither euer can be till the worlds end Remig. What doe you thinke it a thing impossible to be done an huge number of famous popish writers doe resolutelie contest it for a constant truth Theoph. If you be able this to proue indeede henceforth popish succession shall neuer come with in my creed Remig. Sigebertus GeniblaseÌ„sis Marianus Scotus Matthaeus Palmerius Martinus Polonus Philippus Bergomensis Baptista Platina Bartholomaeus Carranza IohaÌ„nes Nauclerus are my substantial witnesses in this weighty point of Popery viz that Pope Iohn was a woman who by the familiar help of her beloued companion brought forth publikely the homely fruits of her Popedome Theoph. These writers which you name were indeede Papists of high esteeme in the Church of Rome but they liued long after Pope Iohn and therefore knew nothing of that matter but by report of others Remig. I answere first that these eight Historiographers liued longer one after another then Sigebertus Geniblasensis and Marianus Scotus liued after Pope Iohn Secondly that all Historiographers write for the most part by the report of others Thirdly that so many writers otherwise of good credit with your Pope may well be credited of vs in a matter against your Pope especially since sundry of them be your owne holy popish Fryers Fourthly that this story of Pope Iohn is publikely painted and is this day to bÃ©e sÃ©ene in your Cathedrall Church of Syenna which painting our politike newly hatched Iesuites sought earnestly to haue had it defaced in the late repairing of that Church but the Bishop of the place digitus Dei est hic would not suffer them to preuaile Fifthly that these eight writers who were all the Popes owne vassals and liued long one after another would neuer for shame haue published one and the selfe same story to the world if any one of them could in his life time haue learned the centrary to be the truth Theoph. They say onely and barely vt ferunt as the report and fame goes and other graue writers that liued before them all and neerer the time of Pope Iohn make no mention thereof at all Remig. I answere first that an argument ab authoritate negatiuÃ© is not holden good in your Schooles and yourselues do roundly condemne in others that manner of dispute Secondly that if these famous writers had not bÃ©ene fully perswaded of the truth of the story they would neuer haue published it to the world and hereof this double reason may be yÃ©elded First for that the Popes dÃ©ere friends were no doubt very loathto reueale the shame and turpitude of their holy fathers saue onely then and so much when and how much the very force of truth compelled them to do Againe because they being very learned could not be ignorant that it was a great damnable sinne to defame so great a man Thirdly that the sayd Authors write of this matter euen as they do of other things Palmerius and Sigibertus both haue these expresse words Fama est hunc Iohannem faeminam fuisâ—e vnisoli familiari tantum cognitam qui eam complexus est grauis facta peperit Papa existens quare eam inter Pontifices non numerant quidam The fame goes that this Iohn was a woman and not knowne but to her familiar friend by whose familiarity she became with child and was deliuered euen whiles she was Pope for which respect some do not reckon her among the Popes Marianus Polonus Bergomensis Platina and Carranza whom I haue already named teach flatly and plainely the selfe same doctrine writing vpon the same woman Pope and here must I put you in minde of this mackeable poynt viz. that Marianus Scotus affirmeth the story constantly flatly and simply without all ands or iffs Yea Martinus Polonus the Popes owne Penitentiary singeth the selfe same song Fourthly that some Historiographers fauouring the Pope more then the truth haue of purpose so to couer the Popes shame concealed the truth of the story To these I may fitly adde that which their famous Abbot saith the beast saith my L. Abbot Bernardus yâ— best Abbot that euer I heard or read of mentioned in the Reuelation to whom was giuen a mouth speaking blasphemies and to make warres with the Saints fitteth in Peters chaire Theoph. This is wonderfull which you say and I hope I may giue credit to your reports your protestation hath assured me thereof

we haue head if may be a point of Christian faith and yet not necessary to saluation and consequently if this point were not knowne by the scriptures yet might the scripture containe all things nÃ©edefull to saluation SecoÌ„dly that yâ— holy scripture sheweth itself to be Canical and the pure word of God for as holy Dauid saith it is a Lanterne to our fÃ©ete and a light to our pathes as Saint Peter saith it is a light that shineth in the darke and S. Paul saith Gods word is liuely and mighty in operation and sharper then any two edged sword it is not incke and paper or a bare and dead Letter but quicke and powerable and sheweth it selfe as light to the children of light For as the same Apostle telleth vs if Christs Gospell be hid it is hid in them that perish in whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes of them which beleue not lest the light of Christs glorious Gospell should shine vnto them yea the selfe same Apostle saith that the spirituall man iudgeth all things Saint Iohn also saith that the vâ—ction which Gods children haue receiued teacheth them all things And what nÃ©ede many words Christ himselfe assureth vs that his shÃ©epe heare hiâ— voyâ—â— and that they follow him because they know his voyce he addeth that they will not follow a straunger and he yÃ©eldeth this reason thereâ—â— because they know not the voyce of straungers this is confirmed by an old receiued Theologicall maxime viz that when wee pray we speake to God but when we read or heare the holy scripture redde then God speaketh to vs but certes when God speaketh to vs if we be his wee will heare him if we be his shÃ©epe we will know his voyce and follow him Thirdly that euery part of the new Testament doth affirme it selfe to be the pure word of God for it saith the holy Gospel of Iesus Christ according to Matthew Marke Luke and Iohn the Actes of the holy Apostles written by Luke the Euangelist the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians Thessalonitiâ—ns Timotheus Titus and Philemon the Epistle of Peter Iames Iude and Iohn the seruants of Iesus Christ the reuelation of Iesus Christ which God gaue vnto Iohn his seruant by his holy Angell Fourthly that the new Testament giueth testimony to the old and the old to the new in the swÃ©ete harmony of diuine truth for Christ himselfe teâ—lâ—th vs that all must come to passe which are written of him in the law in the Prophets and in the Psalmes and for this end was it that Abraham answered the rich glutton in these words they haue Moses and the Prophets let them heare them as if he had said now the law is not studied now the Prophets are contemned and now God is not heard speaking in his holy word some would haue Angels come downe from heauen some desire myracles others the dead to rise againe howbeit to heare Moses and the Prophetes which is to read the scriptured for Moses and the Prophets were dead many hundred yÃ©eces afore is the true and onely way to attaine eternall life this reason striketh dead as which proueth the scripture of the old Testament to be Canonicall and the pure word of God and this reason is confirmed by Saint Paul when he telleth vs that he was put apart to preach the Gospel of God which afore was promised by his Prophets in the holy scriptures and it is further confirmed because the same Apostle saith in an other place that he taught nothing but which Moses and the Prophets had foretold should come to passe Fifthly that these holy writings of Moses and the Prophetes were common among the Iewes in Christs tune and yet did Christ neuer once reproue the Iewes for any corruption therein or charge them with changing adding or taking away of any one iote or title either of the law or of yâ— Prophets for our mercifull and powerable God who caused Balaam to blesse when he entred to curse who when Saul was a cruell persecuter blasphemer and rauening Woolfe made him with one word as mÃ©eke as a Lambe who shut vp the Sea with doores and staied her proud waues appointed her bouÌ„ds whither she should come but no further enforced yâ— aduersaries of the truth the Iewes I meane to preserue the holy scriptures of the old Testament inuiolable and pure from all corruption and not to adde any thing thereto or take ought therefrom neither to prophane the same with the least mixture of mans word our Lord Iesus assured vs hereof when he constantly pronounced that it was more easie for Heauen and Earth to passe away then that one title of the law should fall thus you see or may sÃ©e I wÃ©ent that the popish inuincible bulwarke is battered downe made euen with the ground for none but God alone can infallibly foretell things to come Theoph. Your reasons are vnanswerable in my iudgement and your manner of disputation so forcible as it is able fully to perswade any indifferent reader Howbeit I do not yet see how the holy scripture doth proue it selfe canonical for if that were possible to be proued not onely our Iesuite Parsâ—as but the Pope his Cardinals and all his Iesuited Popelings should be confounded euerlastingly Remig. I haue proued out of Christs own words that whatsoeuer is contained in the law of Moses in the bookes of the Prophets in the Psalmes that same must nÃ©eds be true and come to passe and consequently whatsoeuer scripture must nÃ©edes come to passe and cannot but bee true that Scripture doubtles is Cannonicall and yâ— pure word of God for onely Gods prediction of future things is infallible Theoph. Doe not many godly people especially the zealous Preachers of Gods word vtter many speeches which must needs come to passe and cannot but be true Remig. I answere with this distinction that words vttered by men may be considered two waies First as the words of pure man Secondly as Gods words pronounced by pure man The words vttered by man the second way must nÃ©edes come to passe and cannot but bee true and therefore do we receiue and reuerence as the pure word of God and Canonicall scripture all the law giuen by Moses as also all the rest of the old and new testament this day truly acknowledged for Canonical and holy writ but words vttered by man the first way are fallible and may deceiue both the speaker and the hearer For as Gods Prophet telleth vs all men are lyars another Prophet accurseth him yâ— putteth his trust in man another Prophet was deuoured of a Lion for yâ— he gane credit relyed vpon the feined reuelation of an old Prophet in Bethel for none can infallibly foretell things to come except one that is Almighty and all-sufficient of himselfe Theoph. Men tell vs that the sunne shall rise at such an
