A defense of the sincere and true translations of the holie Scriptures into the English tong against the manifolde cauils, friuolous quarels, and impudent slaunders of Gregorie Martin, one of the readers of popish diuinitie in the trayterous Seminarie of Rhemes. By William Fvlke D. in Diuinitie, and M. of Pembroke haule in Cambridge. Wherevnto is added a briefe confutation of all such quarrels & cauils, as haue bene of late vttered by diuerse papistes in their English pamphlets, against the writings of the saide William Fvlke.

FVLK. 11. If the fathers at some time, by attributing too much to externall discipline, were carried somwhat too farre, whereby not a little was derogated from the merits of Christs death▪ yet they are not charged direct∣ly to haue impugned the dignitie thereof, whyche, when theyr eyes were attentiuely bent vpon it, they did wor∣thily magnifie and extoll. That we must be conforma∣ble to the suffering of Christe, if we wil bee made parta∣kers of his glorie, it is the diuinitie that is now taught in England: but that any sufferings, or any good works of ours whatsoeuer, do merite any part of eternall glorie, the diuinitie preached in England doth most iustly ab∣horre. But that the holie men of the Primitiue Chur∣che, by theyr seuere lyfe, and heartie repen∣taunce for theyr synnes, testified by teares, fasting, and

other chastising of their flesh, for the loue of Christ, did derogate from Christes merits and passion, it is a lewde slaunder out of Fraunce, from the trayterous seminarie at Rhemes, but no part of the diuinitie of England, al∣lowed by the Vniuersities of Cambridge, and Oxford, as you would make simple men beleeue that it is.
