Those, saith he, that wander from the members of Christ by the enormity, or faeditie of capitall crimes, by the iudge∣ment of the Church are suspended from the q Sacra∣ments, lest by the vnworthy receiuing them, they should be entangled in a greater guilt, as Iudas.

Therefore the Ro∣manists, will they, nill they, to saue themselues
