CAP. II.
An Introduction to the proofes which followe in the seconde
part of this fortresse.
Repeating what he fantasieth he hath fortified be∣fore,
(which howe weake it is, I haue sufficiently dis∣couered)
in this Chapter: hee promiseth first to de∣clare
by diuerse sure and necessary tokens, whiche
protestantes doe lacke, that the faith then planted, was
a right faith: which in many principall pointes, we
doe not denye, but that it was a right faith.
Secondly, repeating the difference in doctrine,
gouernement, ceremonies, course and consequence
of both the religions, he will prooue all that they

had differring from vs, partly by Scripture, and part∣ly
by the faith of the first sixe hundreth yeares. To
which I replye. First, that what so euer was then
taught contrary to that we teache, for matter of faith,
can not be prooued by Scripture. Secondly, that
although some errours, which then were taught, may
be prooued to haue bene helde within the sixe hun∣dreth
yeares, yet they can not bee prooued, to haue
bene helde alwayes, especially in the oldest times, and
therefore can make no preiudice against our cause,
which take not vppon vs to allowe all thinges that
were helde in sixe hundreth yeares, no more then the
Papistes themselues doe. Finally, I haue shewed as
many differences of that time from the Papistes, as he
is able to shewe of vs from them, and yet some of his
differences are impudent forgeries.
