Quaest 1. Touching the matter of our Justification the Scripture propoundeth nothing but Christs obedience Rom. 5.19 10.4 The Papists place our Righteousness before God in our own works and merits Con. Trid. s 6. c. 7. For the form as Schollars call it of Justification it is by the Scriptures the imputation of Christs Righteousness 2 Cor. 5.21 The Papists place it in our merits Rhemist 2 Tim. 4. s 4. Secondly It is a ground of Christian Religion that the Law cannot be fulfilled by us and that no man is to expect Righteousness or Salvation by it Rom. 8.3 Acts 15.10 Gal. 2.15 16. 3.10 The Papists maintain that men may keep the Law Con. Trid. s 6. c. 11. Yea and that they may perform more then the Law binds unto whence are sprung the works of Supererogation and Indulgences which that Council so highly prizeth Sess 21. c. 9. A third ground of Religion overthrown by them is that eternal death is due to every sin This the Scripture avoucheth Rom. 5.12 6.23 Ezek. 18.14 The Papists teach some sins to be in their own nature pardonable not deserving death Con. Trid. ses 6. c. 11. From which opinion arose Purgatory A fourth ground of Religion is the certainty of Salvation that Believers may be certain of Salvation is the Doctrine of the Scripture Rom. 8.38 Heb. 11.1 Luke 10.20 The Papists deny and say We can but have hope onely Con. Trid. s 6. c. 9. And yet therein they confound themselves for true hope cannot be deceived Rom. 5.5 It is the Anchor of the Soul Heb. 6.19 A fifth ground is that we cannot satisfie God for our least sins The Scripture ascribeth all satisfaction to Christ Heb. 1.3 1 Pet. 2.24 Rev. 1.5 The Papists maintain that we may and must satisfie making satisfaction a part of Penance Con. Trid. s 14. c. 13. A sixth ground is That the Scripture contains al Doctrine necessary for our Salvation so saith the Scripture 2 Tim. 3.16 the ancient Church Aug. lib. 3. cont lit Petil. c. 6. and others The Papists equal Traditions to the Scripture Con. Trid. s 4. A seventh ground is that the knowledge of the Scripture is needful to people unto Salvation and ought to be read of them thereto accords the holy Text John 5.39 Col. 3.16 The Ignorance therein is the cause of all error Mark 12.24 The Papists forbid the people the use of the Scripture Rhemists Preface and do all in the Church Service in an unknown Tongue Eighthly the Scripture teacheth us to worship God alone Mat. 4.10 The Papists Worship Angels and Saints yea their Images and Reliques their distinction of Latria and Dulia will not serve them for they pray to Creatures and that is Latria and they acknowledge that which they call Latria to be due to the Cross Tho. p. 3. sum Quaest 25. art 4. and Andrad lib. 9. Orth. expl Ninthly It is the Doctrine of the Scripture that Christ ●…ding to his humane Nature is onely in Heaven Acts 3.21 Papists say He is bodily present in the Eucharist Con. Trid. s 13. c. 6. Tenthly Christ ordained the Communion in both kinds commanding to do as he did 1 Cor. 11.24 Papists take the Cup from the Laity Con. Trid. s 21. c. 1. Thus as in these particulars so in many other it were easie to shew how the Church of Rome hath overthrown the main points of Holy Droctrine and have nothing left but the name of the Church and a title and shew of Religion Thou fall'st now to a railing vain And would'st by this thy Pope maintain Leave idle terms and shew some reason Else all these words come out of season Shew thou what Sects we do devise And wherein we deliver lies And prove it so that all may see Lest thou thy self the Lyar be Foxes and Dogs and Wolves thou nam'st And Thieves wherein thy self thou sham'st Or prove all this in us is true Else we return it back to you They call'd Saint Paul an Heretick (x) Acts 24.14 A Blabler (y) Acts 17.18 and a Schismatick (z) Acts 24.5 28.22 They said our Saviour was possest (a) John 8.24 And of his preaching made a Jest (b) Luke 16.14 Yet Paul no Heresie did teach Nor in the Church made any breach Nor yet our Saviour had a Devil He never did or preached evil Let Scripture try wherein we erre We crave no other Arbiter Convict us once by such a Judge We will not at your railings grudge Now that thy store is almost spent Thou com'st t'an old worn Argument Where was your Church some years ago Before the World did Luther know If briefly now I should deny The Churches Visibility It were a word sufficient To overthrow this prattlement Yet this I say and will maintain That even when blindness most did reign Our Church a certain being had Though not with outward Beauty clad Like to that holy portion (c) 1 Kings 19.18 In that great superstition Which over whelm'd all Israel After the Tribes from David (d) Davids Line fell Or as some Ears of purer seed Amidst a field of noysome weed So God had some even at that time When Antichrist was in his prime And now and then oat brake the Light Even in that long and irksome night Like as the Sun in lowring days Sometime sends forth his glittering Rays Long time ere Luther yet was born Whom you our Founder name in scorn There were which shew'd
