The dissent or difference.

The point of our difference and dissent are these. The Church of Rome teacheth and beleeueth, that Christ by his death hath made a satisfaction for all the sinnes of men, and for the eternall punishment of them all: yet so, as they themselues must satisfie the iustice of God for the temporall punishmēt of their offences, either on earth, or in purgatorie. We teach and beleeue, that Christ by his death and passion hath made a perfect and all sufficient satisfa∣ction to the iustice of God for all the sinnes of men, & for the whole punish∣ment thereof both eternall and temporall. Thus we differ, and herein we for our parts must for euer stand at difference wih them: so as if there were no more points of variance but this one, it should be sufficiēt to keepe vs alwaies from vniting our religions, and cause vs to obey the voice of Christ, Come out of her my people. For as in the former points, so in this also, the Papists erre, not in circumstance, but in the very foundation and life of religion.
