Therfor for auoyding superfluitie I referr the reader therto And for more abundant proofe yf Caluin be also perused in the citations of this margent you shal finde him flouting at our doctrin that God is almightie and tearming it blasphemous Here is a pittifull spectacle exhibited toward the first and principal article of our beleefe and euery woord therof Farr hath it bene from my intention or wonte in which protestation I refuse not my greatest enemyes verdict to falsifie or peruert any testimonies alleaged Let it therfor be euery carefull Christians resolution not to slumber in the mayne chaunces of religions purloyning by fayre benedictions out of his hart considering these authours so much offended with this beleefe are the principal founders of protestantcy And consequently that they fayling in the very foundation must lykewyse haue litle soundnes in the rest and deserue wholy to be suspected 2. Article of S. Ihon. Maker of heauen and earthe 11.

Instit. c. 14. n. 3. Contrary to this Article is Caluin first in saying the name of God peculiarly to belong only to God the Father Secondly in saying that Christ considered according to his person may not be called creator of heauen and earthe Which impiouse paradox being allowed to be true besyd all other absurdities Christ according to his person should not be God or at least-their should not equalitie or God head be beleeued Thirdly in saying in c. r 4.

Paul when the very deitie of our Sauiour Iesus Christ could not retaine him from this abhominable blasphemie Fourthly in saying that God in heauen is not dutyfully and sincerly serued without synne euen by the angels them selues Calu. in cap. 1. Colos v. 20. Wherby is insinuated contrary to Scripture Apoc. 21. that in the heauenly citie ther is some thing defyled When therfor all belonging to power and gouernement to the Father of wysdom knowledge and doctrin to the Sonne of benignity liberality plentie and sanctification to the holy Ghost is imputed and appropriated the meaning is only to ascribe all good among the three persons not to exclude any good from any one of them as being all three equaly God and consequently not vnequaly fountains of all good as well in particular as in general But more touching this article will follow in treating of Christs ascension to heauen 3.

Wherof in this examin in the 5. numbre and after somewhat is to be found Thirdly they beleeue not in Iesus Christ our Lord who distrust any part of his doctrin whether it be of the B.

Cor. 11.24 Matt. 26.28 him selfe did affirme it to be his body which was to be deliuered and his blood which was to be shedd and consequently his true body and his true blood which truely and not only figuratiuely were deliuered and shedd These powerfull woords of Christ which your great Melancthon saith Melanct. l. 3. epist Zuing. Oecolamp fol. 132. Mat. 24.35 wil be one day thunder to the misbeleeuers and which woords when heauen and earthe will fayle will remayne are our foundation Yf the blessed Virgin Marie be sayd to be the mother and S.

The prophets did shew this transubstantiation when they fortould that among the Gentiles from east to west there should be a cleane oblation offred to Gods name in euery place c.
