The suruey of popery vvherein the reader may cleerely behold, not onely the originall and daily incrementes of papistrie, with an euident confutation of the same; but also a succinct and profitable enarration of the state of Gods Church from Adam vntill Christs ascension, contained in the first and second part thereof: and throughout the third part poperie is turned vp-side downe.

The answere.

I say first, that it is not impossible for God so to doe, though God should be so driuen without need to worke innumerable [ 1] miracles, & that almost euery houre. I say secondly, that thogh god shuld bestow such reuelations on his saints, yet would ma∣ny [ 2] absurdities folow therupon. For first, these reuelatiōs must [ 1] follow the prayers, and not goe before them; and so my con∣clusion is still in force. Secondly, thus to require myracles at Gods hands, were to tempt God grieuously. Thirdly, such [ 2] prayers should be a flat mockerie in Gods sight, because God [ 3] must first reueale the prayers to his Saints, then must he giue eare to the saints while they inculcate the same prayers: & last∣ly, he may grant thē if he list. Fourthly, in this maner of pray∣ing [ 4] they leaue God, whom they should inuocate, & they run to thē at whom they should not come. Fiftly, they do al this of in∣fidelitie, because they haue no warrant from God so to make [ 5] their prayers.
