in the Gospell is an acceptation of the satisfaction and obedience of christ for the sinnes of al them that beléeue 18. The Iesuites teache that the mercie of GOD in Christ in the which consisteth our saluation is this that God promised vnto them that doe good workes to witte such as fulfill the lawe life euerlasting Censur Colon. Canis Andrad Concil Trident But the Catholikes say that the mercie of God wherin consisteth the saluation of all the elect people is this that the heauenly father promised fréely to all them that beléeue in Christ and also giueth fréely remission of sinnes righteousnesse and life euerlasting not because of their obedience towardes the lawe but onely for Christes sake our Lorde our Sauiour and Mediatour 19. The Iesuites holde that there is a twofolde iustification a first and a second The first iustification saye they is in that Christ deserued by his death that such as belieued in him should be endued and adorned with loue and other vertues The seconde say they is in that they by the merites of Christ hauing receiued these new ornamentes and vertues man I say deserueth a greater fuller and more ample righteousnesse reconciliation adoption and in the end euerlasting life Censur Colon.

The Catholikes affirme that the workes which are done before regeneration and iustification are sinfull For whatsoeuer saith S. Paule is not of fayth is sinne And they are no more acceptable vnto God then the workes of Philosophers Heathens Turkes and Infidels who denying God are in the state of damnation 22. The Iesuites hold that no man is iustified by faith onely without works Censur Colon. Canis Andrad And the counsell of Trent accurseth them that holde the contrary Sess 6. Can. 9 Sess 13. Canon 11. The Catholikes holde with the wordes of our Sauiour in the Gospell where it is saide Onely beleeue and with the opinion of Paule saying We suppose that a man is iustified by faith without the workes of the law and other places of holy scripture tending to the confirmation thereof that man is iustified by fayth alone without workes 23.

The catholikes do holde that there are but only two sacraments so properly to bee called that is baptisme and the Lordes supper sufficiently established by Gods word and that al the rest doe differ farre from the proper nature of Sacraments 34. The Iesuites do hold real presence in the sacrament they maintaine transubstantiation they minister the sacrament vnder one kinde barring the laitie of the cuppe they wil haue the sacrament adored and the remaines laide vp and reserued all contrary vnto the catholike fayth and warrant of Gods word 25.

Paule saieth we haue in earthen vesselles that the excellencie of that power might be of God and not of vs. For hee worketh all thinges after the counsell of his owne will Againe It is God which worketh saieth Paule to the Philippians both the will and the deede euen of his good pleasure hée beginneth it and performeth it We are not sufficient of our selues to thinke any thing as of our selues but our sufficiencie is of God which hath made vs meete to be pertakers of the inheritaunce of the Saintes in light Then haue wée not frée will to that which is good being by nature the children of wrath clogged with the corruption of originall sinne and concupiscence so that we cannot doe as saint Paule saieth whatsoeuer we would 10.

When as in very déede the motions of the saide luste in that wee are by nature the children of wrath doe condemne vs if Gods mercie and the merits of Christes passion stoode vs not in stéede 11. The Iesuites holde that there are many other more grieuous offences and more damnable then those that repugne the lawe of GOD and yet the lawe condemneth them not namely traditions mans lawes and the preceptes of the Church the which Canisius reckones to be fiue in number 1.

Faith saith the Catholikes is not onely a knowledge by the which the Christian firmely holdeth all that is made manyfeste in Gods woorde but also a sure confidence kindled by the holy Ghoste through the Gospell in the hearte by meane whereof hée resteth in GOD perswading himselfe for certaine that remission of sin euerlasting righteousnesse and eternall life is giuen not onely to others but also to himselfe and that freely of the great mercie of God by the merites of Jesus Christ 13. The Iesui●es say The iust in that hee liueth by faith hath not that in Christe but of his workes Againe That faith iustifieth shée hath not that ●o●me or efficacie of Christe whome shée apprehendeth and possesseth but of our loue Againe Faith doeth not therfore iustice because shee apprehendeth Christe who is our righteousnesse but workes are so necessary and stand in so great a steade that they giue vnto faith her life Cens Colon. Canisi Andradius The Catholikes holde that they must liue by fayth as the holy Ghost hath deliuered in writing And now he liueth no more as Paule wryteth but Christ lyueth in him and the life that the iust now liueth in the flesh hée liueth through the fayth of the sonne of God who loued him and gaue himselfe for him So that fayth hath no more her being or life of our loue or workes then the roote hath moisture ministred vnto ●● by fruite growing vpon the trée 14. The Iesuites write the proper saluation of some certaine priuate man is not to bée referred vnto fayth For the priuate iustification of men is vncertaine and much more the eternall saluation of them How then in these being vncertaine shall fayth assure her selfe Fayth in particulars is vncertain hope oftētimes is frustrate Censur Colon.

The Iesuites say that Justification is none other then the séeking or searching of righteousnes and to speak philosophically a motion vnto righteousnes Censur Colon Canis Andradius The Catholiks hold iustification of a man before God or christian righteousnes to be a remission of sinne and an imputation of the righteousnesse of Christ and a frée donation of lyfe euerlasting not for any worthinesse or workes of ours but onely for Christes sake and the same apprehended by fayth 16. The Iesuites doe hold that the reconciliation which is called iustification commeth to passe by meane of loue which is the gift of the holy Ghost shed in the heartes of the faythfull And truely say they great is the force of loue yea and of such a force that it maketh vs the sonnes of God Censur Colon.
