Si Ecclesiam non audierit sit tibisicut Ethnicus Publicanus If he wil not here the Church auoid him as thou wouldest an Ethnick and a Publican Thus is the Church of God to be obeyed and thus do we obey our Church and none of their Church but we For our Church it is and our Church onlie which hath by the spirit of wisedome discretion so sorted and seuered from the corps of truth al blemishes corruptions vncertaine or singular opinions or seueral errors in her childrens and Maisters workes whatsoeuer that both the truth may be had with ease and securitie and the vntruth escaped vvithout doubt or daunger Ours therefore and ours only it is that hath in it the path that the Prophet Esaie forespeaketh and promiseth should be in the Church of Christ Isai 35. Et erit ibi semita vita via sancta vocabitur Non transibit per eam pollutus haec erit vobis directa via ita vt stulti non errent per eam And there shal be in it a path and a way an holy way it shal be called the defiled shall not passe by it but this to you shal be a direct way so that fooles cannot misse if they folow it But now on the contrary side in any company of these seueral sectes and scatered congregations are they so humble as to submit themselues for dicision of their questions to any power placed in earth or haue they any possible meanes to trie and end their controuersies any sort or number of men amongest them whom they may trust in al things which whom and in whose steppes they dare venture to walke the way of faith and Religion towardes saluation None there is amōgst al the Sects in the world so happy none so secure and therefore no Church amongest them For in the plat forme of the Church drawen by the Apostles wee see that when a question arose about Circumcision of vs that be Gentiles straight was there found a remedie Statuerunt Act. 15. vt ascenderent Paulus Barnabas quidam alij ex aliis ad Apostolos Presbyteros in Hierusalē super hac quaestione They determined that there shold goe vp Paule and Barnabas and some others of the other side to the Apostles and Priestes in Hierusalem vppon this question Vpon this matter hath S. Augustine written an excellent Booke which hee intituled De vtilitate credendi Tom. 6. of tht vtilitie of beleeuing the Catholike Church in all thinges and whith all humilitie which booke I vvish and desire all that can to reade it Very fitte it is for this time and alone sufficient to perswade any reasonable man to be a Catholike For were it not for beleuing the Catholike Church and taking of it our light and knowledge a smal number God wotteth of truthes should wee in our whole life be able to finde out although we liued the yeares of Mathusalem and in most thinges should we fouly erre and be deceaued and of nothing almost be fully resolued And therefore being so many so obscure so controuersed the things whereof vpon payne of damnation vve may not doubt but must hold them certaynely euen to the losse of frinds Countrie liberty goodes landes and life vvhat hope were leafte for vs poore wretches of any saluation So desperate is the state of Heretykes their followers that no doubt for lacke of being grounded vpon the sure Rocke of the Churches Faith they would as sone be caried away from the faith of the B.

Augustine Con. ep fūd ca. 5. Ego Euangelio nō crederem nisi me Ecclesiae Catholicae commoueret authoritas I should not beleeue the very Gospell it selfe vnlesse the Catholike Churches authoritie did compell me Seing then that al this is so I appeale me so may any Catholike man boldly with me to the iudgement of any indifferent man and to the wisedome of any that hath intelligence whether it be not certayne that the Protestantes prating somuch of scripture proceedeth not of this that it beareth them at al any recorde but of that thing only which Saint Peter hath sufficiently warned vs of if at least wise we wil take any warning and not wilfully impugne the truth and destroy our own soules His warning is this In the Epistles of our brother Paul 2. Pet. 3. Sunt quaedam difficilia intellectu quae indocti instabiles deprauant sicut caeteras Scripturas ad suam ipsorum perditionem There are certaine things hard to be vnderstod which the vnlearned and vnstable doe depraue wrest as they do also the other Scriptures to their very own perdition So then the true cause why these men be so busie in wreasting and writhing both of S. Pauls most learned and most Diuine Epistles who be wreasters of the Scriptures and of the other Holy Scriptures is theyr owne vnlearnednes who are become Maysters hauing neuer bene scholers ioyned togeather with their vnstablenes by which they are so lightly lewdly runne out of the Catholike Churches Vnity Vniuersality to the Schisme and peece of Luther and from thence againe to the peece of his peece broken off by Caluine and from Caluine againe to the singularity of English Protestants and yet agayne from Protestāts to make another peece of Puritans neither there vndoubtedly nor no where els euer to leaue their flitting vnconstācie but only by returning to the setled vnmoueable rock whervpon both they before vvith vs and wee stil yet thorough the only grace of God doe stand vs steadfast And once there standing they shal sensibly see this to be most certaine that I say no Scripture no truth to be against the Catholykes neither any at all to be for Heretiks For that is the place where God appointed Moyses to stand and there to see all those Mysteries which in this life he reuealeth that he might afterward in heauen see his Glorie Ecce inquit est locus apud me Exo 33. stabis supra Petram c. Behold quod he there is a place with me and thou shalt stand vpon the Rocke c. And therefore doth S. Peter immedyatly after his wordes afore recyted thus inferre Vos igitur fratres praescientes custodite ne insipienetium errore traducti excidatis a propria firmitate You therefore brethren knowing this much afore hād by my warning beware that ye be not caryed away togeather with the erring and straying of foolish losels falling out away from your ovvne sure steadines For euen as any branch of a tree leesing once the sure hold that hee had in the trunke and cleauing no more vnto it must needs wither away and die foorth right and can not possibly grow on any longer so a man that falleth him off frō the deepe rooted continually standing and euer growing Tree of the Catholike Church he straight waies fadeth away vanisheth dieth in himselfe and howsoeuer sometimes he semeth to grow in goodnes or in knowledge as the braunch cut of his own tree and planted in another place it is al out of the roote all in vaine all but downward like a cow taile and as a man that runneth very fast out of his way therefore all but backward Wherefore vnto them only that kepe their standing saith S. Peter Crescite vero in gratia in cognitione Domini nostri Saluatoris Iesu Christi But keepyng your hold grow ye on in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ And so be his conclusion also our conclusion ipsi gloria nunc in diē aeternitatis To him be glory both now and vnto the day of eternity AMEN Bristow to the Reader AL persons of our Nation that with Gods grace shal chaunce to be remembred or confirmed in the Catholike faith or reduced thereunto by this Treatise vouchsafe of theyr charity to requite my Goodwill with theyr deuout prayers for my sinnes Faultes escaped in the printing In the first page line 6. for cognossimus read cognoscimus fol. 16. b. line 12. for protenus read protinus fol. 56. line vlt. in some bookes for

or in commendation of my selfe God is witnes But the truth is that the preiudicies and euidences for the Catholike faith against all Heresies are innumerable and insuperable and my chaunce it hath beene through the mercifull prouidence and goodnesse of God to liue certaine yeares in companie with Catholike men of great vertue wisedome knowledge blessed of God most liberally with his graces such as our miserable Countrie is not worthy of whose daily familiar talke of such thinges I haue vsed to heare as to my great admiration so likewise with all diligence and attention And what I haue through such communication at sundrie times or of my selfe at other times by meanes thereof obserued I purpose as memorie shall serue me God assist me being therevnto both iustly mooued and earnestly required in this booke at once to vtter it in part rather for a little taste then for a full iust discourse and that onely to Gods glorie lightning of mine owne sinfull burden and soule-health of my deare Countrimen knowing both their exceeding great need of such helps and also the vndoubted and present vertue of the remedies to such as will receaue them And therfore wheras againe there be many which for worldly feare or reachlesse negligence or proud disdaine will not read bookes vpon whom yet good may be done in talke and conference by Catholike charitable men that haue or may haue accesse vnto them knowing meanes and wayes of perswasion this Treatise vnto such Catholikes may be a Manual or Enchiridion readie alwaies at hand to minister vnto them for the perswading of such their friends choise of inuention Wherein I beseech all Catholikes for the loue and mercie of God to be earnest and diligent knowing that as Saint Iames saith He that causeth a sinner to turne from his errour into the way of truth shall saue his soule from death and couer a multitude of sinnes Wel then in the name of God to perfourme these premisses this first is certaine generally confessed that wheras al which professe the name of Christ be in respect of their beleefe either catholikes or Heretikes for finding of the truth of Christ as our Sauiour said then to the Samaritan woman Salus ex Iudaeis est Saluation is of the Iewes and not of the Samaritans so now Catholikes must be sought vnto and Heretikes as corruptors of the same truth must be auoyded For vnto this purpose saith Saint Paule to Titus his Disciple and Bishop of Crete Aman that is an Heretike after one or two admonitions doe thou auoide knowing that such a one is subuerted and sinneth being by himselfe condemned euen so as some malefactours in prison hang themselues before the Assise being so their own iudges and not abiding for the sentence of the ordinary Iudge that cometh in circuite For so Heretikes cast them-selues by running out of the Churches vnitie of their owne accord whereas murderers aduouterers theeues and such others abide within vntill by excommunication they be throwen out And to the same purpose in an other place hee rekoneth vp Heresies amongst the works of the flesh togeather with fornication aduoutrie idolatrie sorcerie murder and such like saying of them all in generall that who so doe such things shall not inherit the kingdome of God But on the other side the Catholike Church wee doe all in the Creede of the Apostles professe to beleeue saying as the sayed Apostles haue taught vs I beleeue the Catholike Church And the same with more wordes in the Crede of S. Athanasius Whosoeuer hath a will to be saued before all things it is requysite that he hold the Catholike faith which vnlesse a man keepe whole sound without doubt for euer shall he perish This profession make not we only but our aduersaries also with vs publikely solemnely in their coÌ„gregations So that it is as I haue said sure in it selfe and also of vs both confessed that as with the Catholikes is truth and saluation so with the Heretikes are errours and damnation If therefore I proue that we be Catholikes and they Heretikes it will follow therevpon necessarily that we haue the truth and the whole truth and nothing but the truth and that they are farre from the truth and without against the truth wee therefore to be beleeued and folowed they to be forsaken and detested This then with Gods helpe will I most plainly shew diuerse and sundrie waies and euery one way by himselfe so euident so sure so vndoubted as the walker therein shall see that there is no feare of misleading Name of Catholikes AND to begin with three most certaine waies all of one sort who so that will consider well vppon our verie names and callinges hee shall know by them who are Catholikes and who are Heretikes as readily easily certainely as such a Citie is knowen by the name of London and such a Countrie by the name of England Then first I say that whosoeuer are in the world commonly called Catholikes or knowen by that name they vndoubtedlie are Catholikes and so at length haue alwaies of all men beene knowen and confessed to be whatsoeuer smoke for a while their enimies make against them by putting other names vpon them Or let our aduersaries shew the contrarie let them if they can out of anie Historie bring forth a companie of men at any time since Christs AsceÌ„tion knowen commonly by the name of Catholikes which notwithstanding were not Catholikes but prooued Heretikes Certaine it is that they cannot bring forth any such companie For neuer was there such nor neuer shall there be And therefore was S. Augustine bold in aledging to the Manichees the causes that held him in the lap of the Catholike Church after others thus to say Tenet me postremo ipsum Catholicae nomen â—on Ep. fund ca. 4. quod non sine causa inter tam multas haereses sic ista Ecclesia sola obtinuit vt cum omnes haeretici se Catholicos dici velint quarenti tamen peregrino alicui vbi ad Catholicam conueniatur nullus Haereticorum vel Basilicam suam vel domuÌ„ audeat ostendere In the Catholike Church there holdeth me finally the very name of Catholike vvhich not without cause amongst so many Heresies this Church only hath so obteined that whereas all Heretikes would haue themselues to be called Catholikes yet to a straunger asking where I pray you doe the Catholikes meete at seruice none of the Heretikes dareth to shew their owne meeting place As also at this day wee see traueiling in Cities of Germanie vvhere are Churches of both sorts that if vvee aske anie Heretike there vvhich I pray you is the Catholike Church he directeth vs by and by to the Church vvhere Masse is said And that this Motiue of S. Augustines leaneth not only vpon his authoritie which yet were sufficient in this case to any reasonable man but also vpon very good and true reason it may be soone perceiued by this
that there he saith All Heretikes would haue themselues to be called Catholiks which also at this day you see the Protestants doe desire For why are they also desirous of this name but only because that they which indeed haue the name are also indeed euermore true Catholikes and so the name alone sufficient to moue any man to be of that side As likewise all Heretikes desiring to haue it seeme that there maketh for them Scriptures Miracles Fathers Martyrs and such like of which I will speake more hereafter doe euidentlie therby declare that company for whom in deed such thinges doe make to haue with them both truth and saluation Againe in another place the same holy Doctor saith De ver rel c. 7.

questions with how long preparation cōtinuance with how great disturbance resistēce offered made by their enimies they are assēbled holden and concluded namely this late Coūcell of our time which was gathered and kept at Trident. But on the other side for the Heretikes of our time lacking Gods asistance it hath bin a thing so impossible out of their so many corners where their infection lurketh or reigneth to assemble themselues yea or so many persons of the basest ministers as at Trent were very Bishops into any one place for the like purpose that to my knowledge they haue not hitherto somuch as gone about it or once thought therevpon And in some peeces of Germany alone where with great diligence and charges of their deceaued Princes some few of them for a short time about not many matters haue binne assembled and kept together what agrement could there euer be made betwene them more then betwene your Protestants Puritans cattes and dogges as the world wel knoweth and plainly seeth And in old time when the Arrians vvere able by meanes of theyr Emperour to hold certayne Councells vvhat one of them euer toke place and that bycause they lacked the B. of Rome his confirmatiō In somuch that Constantius the Arrian Emperour hauyng by a Synod of hys Bishops deposed Saint Athanasius and also thrust him actually out of hys Bishoprycke yet laboured tooth and nayle and desired it most feruently to haue the same confirmed with the Bishops of Romes authoritie Ammia Marcel li. 15. as witnesseth also an heathen wryter of that time in these words Id enim ille Athanasio semper infestus licet sciret impletum tamen authoritate qua potiores aeternae vrbis Episcopi firmari desiderio nitebatur ardenti The matter of casting Athanasius out of hys priestly See although Constantius his mortall enymie for euermore knew that it was fulfilled yet to haue it confirmed with the authority in which the Bishops of the eternal Citie are better hee laboured vvith feruent desire But now the Councel of Trent was in all respectes like to those old Catholike and General Councels so called together so proceeded so confirmed Such Councels I say alwaies in the end preuailed euer were of Catholike men obeyed neuer of any stubbornely resisted but only of Heretikes Therefore Protestants and Puritans be Heretikes they be not Catholikes and so vvill all men at the length take them to be for resisting of the Councell of Trent as they haue taken al other resisters of other like Councels But what say I for resisting of the Councel of Trent only Whereas they resist also and that by their owne confession so many other General coūcels as the second of Nice the Florentine those of Lateran of Vienna and finally al that these thousand yeares haue binne holden allowing none but onelie the first foure of Nice of Constātinople of Ephesus of Chalcedone And trow ye that them also they allovv in deed will they be content by them to be tried in the matters that are betwene vs you may be sure they will not knowing that they were of the very same faith that the Councels afterward and that they make against them no lesse then these as if need be I can and will by Gods grace most clearely shew But it needeth not they confesse asmuch them-selues For els why suffered they one Lewis Euans of late yeares to set out a naughty boke wherein amongest many others his blasphemies and abhominations hee called one of those foure Coūcells that same of Chalcedon a blasphemous proude sacrilegious Antichristian Councel with many moe wordes of like detraction If therefore going against any one such lawfull Councel as I haue said hath alwaies binne a most certaine and peculiar propertie of open Heretikes the Protestants that stand against all such Councels as well within these thousand yeares as afore are they not plainly prouen Heretikes Is there any man that so litle careth for his soule as to venture it with such Maisters condemned cōdemners of al holy Councels no Councell new nor old being on theyr syde God of his goodnes deliuer all men and namely our deare Countriemen from such blindnes It was the manner of blind Heretikes it was neuer the maner of Catholikes so to doe For example Eutyches the Heretike condemned the Councell of Ephesus as witnesseth Flauianus Patriarch of Constantinople In ep ad Leonem but Catholikes euer had the maner vvith al reuerence straight waies to yeeld yea and that not only seuerall persons but whole Countries with their Prouinciall councels vvhen a generall Councel had otherwise determined De bap con Don. li. 2. ca. 3.
