Peter S. Paul receiued of them and by succession of Bishops hath brought vnto our time we do counfound all those which howsoeuer either by vaine pleasing of themselues or vaine glory or by blindnes and peruerse iudgment do make erroneous decoctions And this I may the better vrge because as the same Irenaeus affirmeth there is in the Roman Church a more powerfull principality by reason wherof it is necessary for euery Church that is for all Christians throughout the whole world to haue recourse vnto it c. If any be desyrous to see more of this matter let him peruse the Reply it selfe out of which this Catalogue is taken and the Treatise of Faith newly set forth by the same Author FINIS Iren. l. 1. c. 3.
