The peace of Rome Proclaimed to all the world, by her famous Cardinall Bellarmine, and the no lesse famous casuist Nauarre. Whereof the one acknowledgeth, and numbers vp aboue three hundred differences of opinion, maintained in the popish church. The other confesses neere threescore differences amongst their owne doctors in one onely point of their religion. Gathered faithfully out of their writings in their own words, and diuided into foure bookes, and those into seuerall decads. Whereto is prefixed a serious disswasiue from poperie. By I.H.

Fiftly, Caietane and Dom. a Soto, Scotus, Andr▪ Vega, Tho. and Bonauenture with Bellarm▪ differing.

SOme hold, that the good workes of the iust me∣rite eternall life vpon their very worth, in regard of the worke: though there were no such agree∣ment betwixt God and vs: So hold Caietane (in 2.2. quaest. 114.) and Dominicus a Soto (3. booke of Nature and Grace, chap. 7.) Others contrarily, thinke that good workes proceeding from grace, are not meritorious vpon the very worth of the worke, but onely in regard of Gods couenant with vs, and his gratious acceptation: Thus holdes Scotus in 1. Sent. d. 17. q. 2. whom other of the old Schoolemen follow: and of the later Andreas Vega: yet this o∣pinion differs far from the heresie of the Lutherans, &c. But to me the meane opinion seemes more pro∣bable, which teaches, that good workes are merito∣rious of eternall life vpon condignity, in respect of the worke and couenant together, which opinion I doubt not is agreeable to the Councell of Trent, and the chiefe Diuines, as S^t. Thomas and Bonauent. Bellarm. l. 5, c. 17. p. 464.
