The Church of Romes continuance.

The Papist proceedes.
[ 8] THis is another marke most sure, the fayth of Christ must still endure: According as our Sauiour sayd, when for Saint Peter once he prayd. Simon, thy faith shall neuer fayle: the gates of hell shall not preuayle: The holy Ghost your Comforter, he shall remayne with you euer: And my selfe, your surest friend, will be with you to the worlds end.
The Protestants answere.
VVE graunt, the trueth must stil endure: but of this one thing let's be sure: And that is, whether we, or you, doe hold the Fayth of Christ most true. * 1.1Your doctrine is a doung-hill heape of mans traditions, which did creepe * 1.2Into the Church, by some and some, vntil you had spoyled Christs Kingdome. Christs words to Peter you abuse: therefore your sense we doe refuse.

The Papist proceedes.
SAint Paul doeth playnly write and say, [ 9] There shall be in the Church alway, Apostles, Prophets, and such like, that for the flocke of Christ shall seeke, And by their preaching bring them home, of Iewes & Gentiles, where they roame. Our Church haue these, and many moe, which labour thus, and bide much woe. If this be false, and not at Rome, then will I be conuerted soone.
The Protestants answere.
SAint Paul in places three doeth showe,* 1.3 what men into the world should goe: And after those, of Pastours all, that should bring men frō Sathans thrall, In setled Congregation still, there to be taught Gods word and will.* 1.4 But as for Munks, for Priests, for Fryers, for Iesuites, and common lyers, They haue no warrant in Gods word, although they reigne with fire & sword.
