The Protestants Security, in respect of the third Romish Perplexity, of Adoring in a Morall Certainty.

SECT. IV.

OVr Profession is to adore Christ with an infallible faith, and not with a conjecturall Credulity, or Probability, as we are taught by the holy Scripture, the Canonicall foundation of Chri∣stian faith; defining Faith to be an Evidence of things not seene; namely, a more infallible apprehension of the minde, than any perception of sight can be; a faith required of every one, which shall approach in supplication to God: Hee that commeth to God must beleeve that God is. Infallible faith then must vsher Prayer, yea and preaching also any fundamentall doctrine of beleefe, as it is written, I beleeved, therefore I spake: yea, without divine Faith, it is impossible to use any religious Invocation: How shall they invocate on whom they have not beleeved? So incredible and faith∣lesse is your Romish Conjecturall Faith of your worshipping, and Invocating Christ on the Earthly Altar, whereas (according to our Christian Creed of his sitting at the right hand of God in Hea∣ven) we, because faithfully, doe Catholikely, and comfortably adore him, where he infallibly is upon his Throne of Majestie in Heaven.
