Paul Whereby thou seest deare Reader that our Catholike Faith is as certaine the Faith of God Almightie planted by our Sauiour as it is certaine that God Almightie cannot lye or be forsworne since there is not nor euer was any one Faith or Religion so dilated ouer the World as our Catholike Faith is at this day in the East West North and South in Europe Asia Africa and America ouerflowing the Isa 66. 12. glorie of the Gentiles according to the Oath of God and Promises to the Patriarks and Prophets Though Sects and Heresies haue somtime occupied many parts of the World yet they either in short time returned to the vnion of our Catholike Church or else were conquered by barbarous Nations and made their slaues according to the Promises and Prophecies As the Arrians in Lumbardie and other places by the Gothes the Donatists in Africa by the Vandales the Greekes by the Sarazens and Turkes The Brittans auncient Inhabitants of this Island admitting of the Pelagian Heresie were soone after conquered by the Pagan Saxons and their name extinguished and they for the most part destroied that poore remnant of them excepted which were hemmed vp in that part of the Realme which is now called Wales For a few yeares before the comming of the Saxons into this Land the Pelagian Heresies were brought in saith Beda in his first Book and 15. Chapter Since Schismatikes and Heretikes will not honour God by maintaining his Oathes and Promises to his Seed and returne vnto the vnion of our Catholike Church that they may be partakers of his Blessings God Almighty will be honoured by manifesting the fulfilling of his Maledictions and Curses vpon them that the Iust may see and feare and Ps 51. 8. confesse that God is true and iust in all his Wordes and Oathes Reuenge is mine saith Deut. 32. our Lord and I will repay them in time that their foote may slide They haue prouoked me in that which was no God and haue angred me in their vanities and I will prouoke them in that which is no People and in a foolish Nation will I anger them And in this God Almightie hath been so faithfull in his Promises that he alwaies raised vp the most barbarous foolish Nations of the Earth to be their Conquerors And as for Protestants if euer there hath beene any Kings Kingdomes or Nations which haue made profession of that Faith Protestants doe now before King Henrie the eight we see by experience that the Curses and Maledictions of God Almightie spoken of by the Prophets hath so fallen vpon them that they were as people that descended into Hell quick Ps 54. 16. of vvhom there is no memorie in any Booke Chronicle Antiquitie or Historie Those enemies of God vpon whom the Prophet Moyses speaking sayth in the Person of GOD I said Deut. 32. 26.

In such sort that there is lesse memorie of them then of Sodome and Gomorra vvhich vvas destroyed by fire from Heauen or of Core Dathan and Abiron who were swallowed vp into the Earth quicke of whom yet there is some mention made in other mens Writings But of Protestant Kings Kingdomes or Nations professing the Faith Protestants doe now there is not anie mention or memorie Yet a little while and the Ps 36. 10. sinner shall not be and thou shalt seeke his place and shalt not finde it The enemies Ps 36. 20. of our Lord forthwith as they shall be honoured and exalted vanishing shall vanish as smoake I haue seene the Impious highly exalted and aduanced as the Caedar of Libanus And I passed by and behold he was not and I sought him and his place was not found The Vniust shall perish together the remaines of the impious shall perish Againe He loued Cursing it shall come Ps 108. to him and he would not Blessing and it shall be farre from him In one generation let his name be cleane put out Which Prophecie wee see of late yeares to be fulfilled in Henrie the eight King of England and Henrie the second King of France Henrie the eight was the first founder of the Parliamentarians and author of giuing authoritie to Parliaments to determine matters of Faith and Religion Henrie the second Serres in the life of Henry the second King of France became Protector of the Protestants of Germanie rebelling against Charles the fift their lawfull Emperour and went in person to their ayde with thirtie thousand men Henrie the eight had sixe Wiues and fiue or sixe Children Henrie the second had fiue Sons Francis the second after King of France Lewis Duke of Orleans Charles after King of France Henrie the third King of France and Hercules after called

finger For graunt me but that God Almightie cannot be forsworne nor violate his Oaths and in euery opinion of Faith and Religion as a creature of God Almighties maintaine in act and deed that he cannot be periured or forsworne and thou caust not be a Protestant of any Sect or sort by any means possible but of necessitie be of that Faith and Religion Protestants call Papistrie As for example the question is whether our Catholike Church or your Protestant Congregation bee the true Church of God Let vs goe to the Oath of God and as creatures of God Almightie let vs in actions and deeds firmely and faithfully beleeue this Oath of God to Abraham to be true and submit our vnderstandings and iudgements vnto it as vnto the most infallible and most certaine truth that can be and as willing to honour God without passion or malice let vs simply seeke whether this Oath of God By my selfe haue I sworne I will blesse thee and will multiply thy Seed as the Starres of Heauen and as the Sand that is by the Sea shoare Thy Seede shall possesse the Gates of his Enemies and in thy Seede shall be blessed all the Nations of the Earth be more verified vpon our Catholike Church or your Protestant Congregation First for Temporall blessings all the Christian Kings and Kingdomes that euer haue beene flourishing vpon the face of the Earth before Henrie the eight were so Catholike that thou canst not name me one who was in Faith and Religion a Protestant and held the Religion Protestants now maintaine For spirituall blessings we haue written in all Ages Bookes and Volumes of the Spirituall blessings and gifts of God the gifts of the holy Ghost bestowed vpon vs Exercises of Spirituall life loue and vnion of heart with God amongst you there is not any one professing such things all denying inherent grace and infused vertues And whether the Seede of Protestants or Seede of Catholikes haue beene multiplied as the Sand that is by the Sea-shore possessing the Gates of their enemies not only all the Chronicles and Histories of Countries and Nations doe beare witnesse for vs but euen Protestants themselues conuinced with truth doe confesse it Perkins vpon the Creede pag. 307. affirmeth That during the space of nine hundreth yeares the Popish Heresie hath spread it selfe ouer the whole Earth Fulke in his Treatise against Stapleton pag. 25. affirmeth That some Protestants haue written that the Pope hath blinded the World these many hundreth yeares some say a thousand some say one thousand two hundred some nine hundred yeares And Napper in his Treatise vpon the Reuelations pag. 68. affirmeth That betweene the yeare of Christ three hundreth and three hundreth and sixteene the Antichristian and Papisticall reigne begun reigning saith he vniuersally and without any debatable contradiction twelue hundred and threescore yeares pag. 145. saith The Pope and his Clergie during all that time possessing the outward visible Church of Christians So these English Protestants And it is a thing of it selfe so manifest that Protestants are not able to name any one Minister or Preacher for one thousand foure hundred yeares together who held and maintained the Doctrine they now teach And to let passe other States Countries and Towns and make instance in the Citie of Venice The Gothes Michele Zappulo in his Historie of Venice afflicting Italy many Catholike Italians flying the fury of those barbarous people did retire themselues into that place of Venice which is now called Riualta before called Lupa which being then not inhabited and vnknowne to the Gothes with the consent of the Senate of Padoa chose three Consuls Alberto Faliero Thomaso Candiano and Canone Dauolo and by their help begun the Foundation of the Citie of Venice vpon the fiue and twentieth day of March in the yeare of our Lord foure hundred twentie and one which hath continued euer since in the Catholike Faith vnion of the Church of GOD dilated ouer the World without alteration or change in Religion or State or hauing beene sacked or spoiled as their Histories and succession of Men from age to age doe abundantly testifie Whereby thou seest that our Catholike Church is so manifestly the true Church that vnlesse thou wilt first affirme in effect and deed that God Almightie is periured and forsworne thou canst not denie it that the Church of the Protestants is so manifestly the false Church that without affirming in effect and deeds that God Almightie may be forsworne it cannot in any one Article bee defended And the same thou shalt finde in any other question as for example thou wouldest examine whether Catholike Priests that offer to God the Sacrifice of the Masse or Protestant Ministers who haue no externall Sacrifice be true Christian Priests admit but of the Oathes of God for true without malice and passion and the Controuersie is ended and it is as manifest vnto thee by both the Oathes of God that Massing Priests are true Christian Priests as it is manifest that God Almightie cannot be forsworne Of the first Oath we haue spoken before The second Oath is Ps 109. Heb. 7. Our Lord hath sworne and it shall not repent him thou art a Priest for euer according to the Order of Melchisedeck First of Protestant Ministers there were none for many hundreth yeares together visibly knowne in the World as they confesse so this eternall Priesthood of Christ could not be verified in them as in his Priests or Ministers Secondly they haue no externall Sacrifice That Catholike Priests haue beene these many hundreth yeares offering to God as Ministers of his Sonne his Bodie and Bloud vnder the formes of Bread Wine according to the Order of Melchisedeck as they doe now that Protestants confesse as wee haue immediatly before set downe So do but admit that God Almightie is not forsworne in both these Oathes and of necessitie thou must defend that Massing Priests are true Christian Priests and Protestant Ministers false And in all other Questions Controuersies firmely beleeue the Oaths of God which are the most certaine and infallible truths that may be and such as wherevpon all the rest of the Scriptures depend and honour God Almightie by maintaining them in words and deeds and thinke that thy Vnderstanding Wit and Iudgement may deceiue thee as they many times doe but the Oathes of God cannot and thou canst not but be a Roman Catholike or Papist So manifest it is that our Catholike Faith is founded vpon the Oathes of God and Protestantisme of all Sects and sorts is founded vpon Publike profession in acts and deeds that God Almightie is periured and forsworne that if passion and malice doe not blinde the light of reason in thee thou canst not but see it and confesse it Thus hauing laid the foundation of our Ease Content and Rest vpon the surest foundations which are to be found in Heauen or Earth the Oathes of God hoping thou desirest to finde that
