Cyp. lib. de Vnitat wherfor in these words Cum videret inimicus idola derelicta templa sua deserta exâ—ogitauit novas fraudes hereses inuenit scismata â— quibus fidem subuerteret When Sathan saw after our Sauiours Passion the Idols cast away and his tempels deserted hee thought of new fraudes hee inuented heresies and scismes by which hee might subuert faith and sanctity Sathan therfore the Father and Author of all lyes and Heresies seduced men from the way of truth and stirred them up against the Church and Verity these kinde of men sowed Heresyes and Scismes and some of them began like Hypocrits covering theire damnable Doctrin with a cloack of Sanctity such were Arius Iohn Wicklef and many more and even the worst livers of them pretended a kind of Piety in theire Opinions and as it were a speciall regard of the glory of God grounding all Sanctity and Salvation upon Sanctifying faith alone and upon this account some of them took away free will others good works fasting pennance and allkind of Mortification they did but mock all these things others took away the Invocation of Saints and Angells and Doctrin of Purgatory Indulgence and Prayers for the dead others reduced seven Sacraments unto two or rather to one to wit Baptisme and others have even destroy'd this Sacrament teaching infants to be saved in the faith of theire Parents and that Baptisme is but a meer cerimony that might be used or omitted without sinne others said the Commaundements were impossible to be kept and others held they did noe way oblige Christians and that they were only made for the Iewes but oboue all Calyin was soe zealous in attributing mans Salvation only to the Passion and Bloud of Iesus that hee held all the good works man could doe of noe value or effect yea hee termed Bona opera hominis piacula sordes inquiuamenta By this you see the Doctrins taught by Hereticks were but mera somnia deliria and a good part of the thirty nine Articles of the Church of England are such I shall herafter in a convenient place give you a long Letany of Hereticks but it will be noe way holy In this place I will only set downe the Sect of Quakers that sprung up in England some years agoe theire principall theorems and tenets are 1. That they are imediatly cald by Iesus and sent to convert the world as the Apostles were by an extraordinary mission 2. That God being a pure Spiritt is to be honoured only by the Spiritt wherfore they condemne all bending of knees and all exteriour signes of Religion and worship due to God 3. That it is superstition to light Candles by daytyme to weare Capps Copes Albs or any sacred vestments 4. That it is Idolatry to build Churches put up Crosses or the Images of Christ or his Saints or render them any Worshipp 5. They denye and reject the name of Sacrament and affirme that Baptizing in water is not of devine Institution 6. They

Much unsincere dealing when they slightly handle Controversyes and sly ly disemble such proofs as make for our Catholick Verityes The last defect but this is both remediless and transcendent they neuer bring Assertions to Principles nor give us weight for weight I meane Authority answerable to our Authorityes in any one debated question With what is said this Advertisment is ended my end therin being the Conversion of Sall a poore sinner and straying sheep which must be effected and done by the great Pastor Iesus and therfore I humbly begg of him Vt vadat ad illam Ovem quae perirat donec inveniat â—am That his owne holy name may be glorify'd on Earth and in heaven by bringing backagaine to his Flock poor strayed Sall.

however wee must leave him a Saint to fill up that new Calendar Fox is not ashamed to place in his Calendar Lollards a Sect of Hereticks ancienter then Wicklifians by 50 years who in some things held with the Protestants and Wicklisians against the Roman Church as against the Invocation of Saints Fastings Prayers and the Sacraments of Pennance Matrimonie Extrem-unction and the like they had alsoe particular Opinions of there owne against Baptisme Eucharist and the like They had alsoe theire peculiar fanatick Opinions as Tritemius saith 1. That Lucifer with the rest of The peculiar oponions of the Lollards according to Tritemius his Angells were injuriously thrust out of heaven by Michael and his Angells and consequently to be restored at the day of iudgment And that Michael and his Angells are to be damned for the forsaid Injury and to be delivered over to everlasting punishment from the day of Iudgment forward 2. That our Lady could not beare Christ and remaine a Virgin for that soe hee should have been an Angell and not a man 3. They held that God did only punnish such wickedness as is done upon Earth But if any thing be done underground it is not punishable And therfore in caves and sellers under-ground they were accustomed to exercise all abomination And of this hee relateth a certaine Story happened in Germany which was that one Gisla a young Woeman of theire Sect comming to be burned for Heresie shee was asked whether shee were a Virgin or noe wherunto shee answered that above-ground shee was but under ground not This Heresie the Lollards grounded upon that saying of the Psalme Terram Psal 113. autem dedit Filiis hominum That is God hath given the Earth to the Children of men I will conclude in this place with Fox a Father os lyes the greatest Hypocrit and Falcificator of that age or this for proofe heerof I remitt you to Father Persons a famous man of blessed memory a great Ornament to his Order and all the Church of God in the third part of his treatis in the Addition hee made or the Relation of the tryall made before the King of France in the year 1600. between the Bishop of Euâ—eux and the Lord Plessis Mornay Page 59. 60. 61.
