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 S. Luke reprooueth y^e extortions of the Pha∣risies, & exhorteth them to works of charitie. As if he had said; [ 1] not vnwashed handes make you eate vncleanly, but your wic∣ked extortions. Vse therefore charitie, and giue almes to the poore, and then your soules shalbe cleane, though the platter be vnwashed. This sense is gathered out of the verses aforegoing.

I say secondly, that almesdeedes▪ and other good works pro∣ceeding [ 2] of faith, do neither merite nor iustifie as is prooued; but yet they are testimonies before men, that wee be iustified by faith through the merites of Christ Iesus. For which respect, iustification is often ascribed vnto them; as to the effects therof. I say thirdly, that the fathers in many places doe speake of [ 3] temporal remission, which often is graunted for almes deeds and the like.
