man cannot keepe the whole Law the Apostle in this Epistle stands guiltie of this heresie for speaking in the person of a iustified man To will is present with me saith he but I finde no meanes to performe that which is good for I doe not the good thing which I would but the evill which I would not that doe I. Ninthly whereas you teach that good workes be meritorious even so meritorious that the ioyes of heaven are a thing equally and iustly answering to the time and weight of our workes the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory which shall bee shewed vnto v● Tenthly whereas you crie out against the certaintie of faith calling it an vnhappie securitie presumption and a faithlesse perswasion the Apostle in this Epistle commends the faith that is free from doubting professing that he was assured Neither life nor death nor any creature was able to separate him from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesus our Lord. Eleventhly whereas you teach that Christ is vpon every of your Altars the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth that since his rising he is at the right hand of God Twelfthly wheras you teach that workes done before iustification deserue of congruitie at Gods hands the grace of iustification the Apostle in this Epistle teacheth flat contrary saying The wisdome of the flesh that is a man vniustified cannot please God Thirteenthly whereas you teach that every creature must be subiect to the Pope that the Pope is subiect to none the Apostle in this Epistle exhorteth euery creature to be subiect to the higher powers meaning by the higher powers as the circumstances shew the civill Magistrates and not the Pope Fourteenthly whereas you teach that the Clergie is and ought to bee free from whatsoever impositions of the civill Magistrate and that by the lawes of God and man the Apostle in this Epistle perswades every Creature the Clergie as well as the Laitie to pay tribute custome to the civill Magistrate Fifteenthly whereas you teach that inferiours must doe whatsoever superiours command them though it be against their consciences vnlesse they haue plain reason for their refusall the Apostle in this Epistle requires that men be fully perswaded in their mindes of the lawfulnesse of that which they doe meaning they should not onely forbeare the doing of that which went against their consciences but whereof they doubted in their iudgements Lastly whereas you teach that some actions onely of the Infidells are sinnes the Apostle in this Epistle affirmes that all the actions of the Infidells are sinnes saying Whatsoever is not of faith is sinne Now that which I desire to know is why the Apostle if the faith of our Romish Church now be the same that it was then when hee writ to the Romanes spake nothing of the principall points of your now-faith but many things for vs and against you Your Cardinall Hosius to proue satisfaction alledgeth these as the words of Saint Paul Rom. 6. Exhibeamus membra nostra servire institiae in satisfactione Let vs exhibite our members to serue iustice vnto satisfaction And your Doctor Harding for proofe of the same point alledgeth these as the words of S. Paul 2 Cor. 7. Let vs cleanse our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit making perfect our satisfaction in the feare of God Both of them putting the word satisfaction in place of the word sanctification vsed by the Apostle Was there any great sanctitie shewed by them in this or rather are they not bound to make satisfaction vnto the Apostle for this their bad dealing thinke you Your Bishop Gardiner some say to proue the carnall presence which you maintaine against the truth and vs alledgeth these as the words of the 110. Psalme Escam se dedit timentibus cum He gaue himselfe for meare to them that feared him Was ● ere any feare of God in your Bishop to adde the word se himselfe of himselfe to the text thinke you Your Cardinall Bellarmine to proue that holy things may be religiously worshipped alledgeth th●se as the words of God Exod. 12. 16. Dies prima eri sancta septima eadem religione venerabilis The first day shall be holy and the seventh day with li●●e religion shall be venerable descanting vpon them thus Hic vides pro eodem ac●ipi rem sanctam religiose venerabitem yet the word religiose is not in the text but the word festiustate Now I pray you was it not irreligiously done of your Cardinall to chop into the Text the word religiously falsly Your Bernaltus a Priest of Constance writing in defence of Gregory 7. his prohibition of Priests mariage affirmes that S. Peter commanded even the Laitie 1. Pet. 3. vt parcant vxoribus suis ne impediantur orationes earum that they should forbeare companying with their wiues lest their prayers should be interrupted whereas in Saint Peter there are no such wordes as vt parcant vxoribus they should forbeare companying with their wiues Did not this Priest of yours deserue to be accompanyed with whores who forged this Text to proue that a man may not keepe company with his wife Your Cardinall Hosius and your Bishop Canus in way of prooving that wee may beleeue in Saints alledge the words of Saint Paul to Philemon Gratias ag● Deo meo audiens fidem quam habes in Domin● nostro in omnes Sanctes I giue thanks to my God hearing of the faith which thou hast in the Lord Iesus and in all Saints leaving out the word charitatem loue or charitie which the Apostle coupled with the word fidem faith meaning loue or charitie should be referred to the Saints as the obiect of it and the word faith to the Lord Iesus as his obiect Was there any loue or charitie in these towards the Apostle who suppressed the mention of that loue towards the Saints which he commended in Philemon or is it safe I do not say to beleeue in but to beleeue such saints as these who cite the Scriptures so divel-like leaving out as the divel did Math. 4. what made against him Your pope Leo 10. affirmed in the Councell of Lateran that Christ ordained Peter and Peters successors to be his Vicars who by the testimonie of the booke of Kings must needes be so obeyed that he who obeys them not must dye the death In what booke of Kings I pray you find you this for there is no such testimonie in those bookes of the Kings which are in my Bible Your Cardinall Bellarmine to returne to him againe in way of prooving Purgatorie alledgeth these as the words of the Prophet Esa Chap. 4. 4.
