Papist in the world is able to say in the same subiect, soundly and most euidently refuted, in the sixt Conclu∣sion aforegoing. For the last and best Resolution that Scotus could inuent, (after he had disputed the Question pro et contra, so profoundly as his wittes could conceiue,) was euen this and no other; viz. that Popish Auricular Confession is not grounded vpon Christes Ghospell or Apostolicall writing, but onely and solely vpon vn∣written Tradition; which is an huge and deepe Gulfe, without any bottome.

Epiphanius, S. Chryso∣stome, S. Basill surnamed the great, S. Gregorie Nazianzene, S. Damascene, and many other most excellent and holy Byshoppes. [ 2] Secondly, that others hold the contrarie,
