Errors, and aduersaries vnto these truths.

Hereby are condemned all Heretikes, and errors impugning either the creation of the world by God; or his providence in the continuing, and preseruation of the same.

Of the former sort was,

First Aristotle, and his followers, which said the world was eternal, and without beginning.

Next, the Marcionites, that held, how God made not the world, as being too base a thing for him to create a 1.1.

3. Simon Magus, Saturnius, Meander, Carpocrates, Corin∣thus, who ascribed the worldes creation vnto Angels b 1.2.

4. The Manichies, who gaue the creation of all things vnto two Gods, or Beginnings: the one good, whereof came good things; the other euill, whence proceeded euill thingsc 1.3.

5. The same Manichiesd 1.4, and Priscillianists e 1.5, which did affirme man to haue bin the workemanship not of God, but of the Deuill.

6. The Familie of Loue, who deliuer that God by them made heauen, and earth f 1.6.

7. The Papists, who giue out how sacrificing Priests are the Creators of Christ g 1.7.

Of the latter sort were,

The Stoike Philosophers, and the Manichies, who are the great patrones of Destinie, Fate, and Fortuneh 1.8.

The Familie of Loue, which may not say, God saue any thing: for they affirme that all things be ruled by nature, and not ordered by God i 1.9.

The old Philosophers, who thought that inferior things were too base for God to be carefull of k 1.10.

And lastly the Epicures, who thinke God is idle, and gouer∣neth not the same. Of which minde was Cyprian, who held that God, hauing created the world, did commit the gouer∣ment thereof vnto certaine celestial powersl 1.11.
