or Confirmation by a Bishop to the Baptized was condemned in the Nouatians For Eusebius thus speaketh of Nouatus being baptized Neque (45) Euseb ●ist l. 6. c. 35. caetera quibus post baptismum secundum Ecclesiae Canonem imbui opertuerat acquisiuit neque Domini sigillo ●b Episcopo obsignatus fuerit quo quidem neuti quam potitus quo●●odo quaeso spiritum sanctum adeptus est Neither did Nouatus seeke to haue those things which according to the Canon of the Church he ought to haue after Baptisme Neither was he signed with the seale of our Lord by a Bishop the which he not enioying how could he obtaine the Holy-Ghost Theod●re● (46) Theod. l. 3. Haret ●●b also chargeth the Nouatians herewith Identity 18. Exorcisms and exafflation was denyed by Iulianus the Pelagian of whom S. Austin thus relateth Iulianus (47) Aug. de nupt Concupis l. 2. c. 2● antiquissiman 〈◊〉 Traditionem nefariscrimine asp●●get qu● exercizantur vidixi exufflantur par●ul● Iul●anus doth cast a wicked aspersion vpon the most ancient Tradition of the Church by force wherof litle Infants are exor●ized and as I haue said ●●eathed vpon Thus S.

That Adam lost the Image of God was maintayned by the Origenists but condemned by Epiphanius thus writing At (48) Epiph. hoeres 64. vero quòd secundum Imaginem est Adam per●idisse dicit Origen affirmeth that Adam did loose that which was according to the Image And againe Et (49) Epiph.

The Visibility of the Church was denied by the Donatists whom S. Austin reproued as being Hereticall in that they labored to certaine texts of Scripture Vt ea sayth this Father detorquere (52) Aust de Vnitat Ecclesiae c. 1● in Ecclesiam Dei vt tanquam defecisse perijsse de to●o orbe videatur to the end to misapply them against the Church of God that it might be thought to haue suffered a defection and to haue perished out of the whole world And according hereto this Father alledged the Donatists owne words the very dialect of the Protestants of these tymes which are these Apostatquit (53) S. Aug. repeateth this saying of the Donatists in Psal 101. con 2. perijt Ecclesia de ommbus Gentibus The Church of Christ hath apostatated perished away out of all Countryes To the which words S. Austin thus answereth presently Hoc dicunt quim illa non sunt O impudentem vocem They speake this who are not in the Church O shamelesse tongue of theirs Thus far I haue proceeded in shewing that twenty mayne Articles of Protestancy were condemned in the Primitiue Church by the ancient learned pious and Orthodoxall Fathers of those tymes Which Fathers stood as so many Centinells to discouer the approach of any new arising Heresy and being discouered were as many Spirituall Captaines ready with their Pennes to encounter the same I haue thought good you see in the former Instances though with some tediousnes to set downe the Fathers condemnation of those Heresyes in the Fathers owne Words thereby to assure you My Countrimen of my Candour and Integrity herein for I hope to proue none of those Qui mendaciorum funiculis (54) Hester c. 16. ●onautur subuecriere Heere now shall follow Faur●y more Points of Protestancy and other circumstances concerning Protestancy in like manner professed by the Heretiks of those ancient tymes and registred for Heresyes Errours by the said former lights of Gods Church In setting these fourty downe I will only rest for greater expedition in the references of the Fathers Books and Writings wherin they are for such condemned without expressing their particular words of condemning them I hope you or any iudicious Reader will rest assured that I vse no fraud or calumny herein And if any man shall thinke otherwise him I prouoke herby to recurre to the Fathers bookes themselues for the greater triall of my plaine and vpright deportment But I should presume this Admonition of myne to be lesse needfull considering that in the former twenty Protestant Articles being more weighty then most of these following he may see how fully I haue displayed the condemning of them euen from the Fathers owne Sentences Identity 21. Well then the one and twentith Article shal be the deniall of the Diuills to be really cormented at the Relicks monumēts of Martyrs This point was condēned in Vigilātius as S.

Arnobius (61) Arnobius contra gentes l. 10. do witnesse Indentity 24. The affirming that the Godhead of Christ did suffer in his Passion was condemned in Eutiches The same doth Luther and his schollers teach as appeareth in the former Treatise And Musculus (62) As Checauorius a Protestant witnesseth in like manner teacheth the same Identity 25. The deniall of the Reuerence to the holy Crosse condemned in Probianus as the Tripartite History (63) Histor. Tripere l. 8. ● 89 witnesseth Identity 26.

Card. Peron Of the Method houlden in this Treatise CHAP. II. THe prescribed Method which I intend to take in these ensuing leaues is first to exemplify in many particular Articles of Beliefe wherein Mahumet and the Turks do agree with Luther and the Lutherans concerning which I am to prefixe this Caution To wit that as by Luther and the word Lutheran I vnderstand also the Swinglians and the Caluinists though I grant 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and abusiue seing they all originally were begot by Luther though now through tract or tyme they be branched forth into seuerall distinct families So in like manner I take these words following promiscuously I meane Mahumet Sergius the Mahumetaus the Saracens the Turks Mahumetisme Saracen●sme and Turcisme all comprehending one and the same Religion first sprung by Mahumet and Sergius and only varying in appellation through diuersity of Places Tymes Well then to proceed This Agreements of Mahumetisme and Luthera●isme I call Symbolisme This Word Symbolisme is taken from naturall Philosophy where it is peculiarly applyed to the agreements of seuerall Elements in seuerall qualities Thus the Ayre for example in its heate Sy●holizeth and agreeth with the fire in its moysture with the Water After I haue displayed fourty Points most of them Articles of fayth and the rest necessary Circumstances attending the Turkish and Lutheran Religion wherein these two Religions do conspire and agree I then in the second Part of this Treatise do particularize twenty Points of fayth and inferences or deductions from thence in which I compare the Lutherans with the Mahumetans or Turks wherein it is made euident that the Positions and Articles of the Lutherans and their answerable practise of them are at least equall if not more wicked and lesse iustifiable by force of all Reason then the contrary Tenets of the Mahumetans and Turks These my librations and waighings of these seuerall Points I terme Parallels because I compare togeather the said Points or Articles as seuerally maintained by them as also I compare togeather the seuerall first Inuentours of Mahumetisme and Lutheranisme After the end of both these two Parts of this Treatise I subnect as an Appendix a Discourse which may serue as a Second Glasse to you of the Reformed Religion wherin you may behould threescore of your owne Positions or dogmaticall Points of faith and other Accessories thereof to haue been wholy condemned for Heresies by the ancient Fathers of Christs Primitiue Church and the maintayners of them to haue been ●●anded and anathematized for cursed Heretiks These wicked Positions I call in this place so many Identitio●● seing they are the same erroneous doctrines without any variation heretofore exploded for old Heresies and now imbraced of new and reuiued by our Sectmaisters of these dayes Now by all these seuerall Passages of this litle Work we may obserue that although the true Church of Christ hath been forced to be embroyled with Mahumetisme and antiently condemned Heresies yet she neuer partaked with Mahumetisme or the said Heresies in any one point of their Wicked Paradoxes no more then Eternity though it co-existeth with the tyme past and the tyme future is neither the tyme past nor the Tyme future Thus much touching the method by me holden Only I end with this premonition once for all That whereas I do mention by way of Reprouall often the words Protestancy and Protestant in this discourse and Appendix my meaning is that therby I vnderstand and take Protestancy only for such points of fayth which the more earnest violent and fiery Protestants and Calainists maintayne this their doctrine being the same with Hugenotisme and the belieuers of it the same with you Hugenots not extending these two former words to such Articles of fayth or to the Professours therof which the more learned graue and sober Protestants do hould and belieue The Particular Passages of the Alcoran alledged in this Treatise according to the Order as they do occurre in this Booke Of which Passages diuers are seuerall tymes vpon seuerall occasions repeated and urged And heere we are to note that the different Passages of the Alcoran are distinguished as by so many Sections or Paragraphs by the word Azoara 1.2.3 c.
