  • IV. BOOKE. Reveileth the manifold Contradictions in the Romish Defence of a Corporall Presence of Christ's Body in the Sacrament; and conse∣quently a necessary Impossibilitie thereof, without the impeachment of the Omnipotencie of God (yea with the aduancement thereof:) To∣gether with a Discovery of the falshood of their Thirteen Histories, relating so many Apparitions of True Flesh, and true Blood of Christ in the Eucharist: As also shewing the Determination of the Gene∣rall Councell of Nice upon the the point of Corporall Presence.
  • V. BOOKE. Noteth the three-fold Capernaiticall Conceit in the Romish (pre∣tended) Corporall manner of Eating, Swallowing, and gt-receiving of Christ's flesh.
  • VI. BOOKE. Displayeth the manifold and grosse Sacrilegiousnes in the Romish Masse; vpon their profession of a Proper and properly Propitious Sacrifice therein.
  • VII. BOOKE. Proveth the abhominable-double Idolatrousnes of the Romish Masse, as well Formall as Materiall.
  • VIII. BOOKE. Besides the Three Synopses or Summarie Comprehensions; First of the Superstitiousnes; Secondly, of the Sacriledge; Thirdly, of the Idolatrie of the Romish Masse; it further declareth the diverse Periuries, and Obstinacies of the Defenders; and also the many noto∣rious Heresies in the Defence thereof.
