and impietie.
The proofe from Gods word.

WOrkes of Supererogation (which are voluntary workes, besides, ouer, and aboue the commande∣ments of God) are often condemned in the holy Scripture, where wee are commanded to walke, not after the lawes of men, but according to the Statutes of God a 1.1; and to heare, not what man speaketh, but what Christ doth say b 1.2: & he, teaching the dutie of christians, setteth before them, as their rule, and di∣rection, the lawe, and word of God c 1.3, and more then that hee doth neither vrge, nor require.

And against mans Iniunctions.

They worship mee in vaine (saith hee) who for doctrine teach the commandements of men d 1.4.

Teach them to obserue all things whatsoeuer I haue com∣manded you e 1.5.

My sheepe here my voice, and know not the voice of stran∣gers f 1.6.

Which doctrine, ordinances, & workes whatsoeuer (besides, ouer, and aboue that which God hath reuealed, and imposed, is called of the Apostle, somtimes ordinances of the world g 1.7, vo∣luntarie religion h 1.8 sometime the doctrine of Deuillsi 1.9 and cur∣sed k 1.10: And the same is condemned in all Churches reformed after the word of God l 1.11.

The Errors, and adversaries vnto this truth.

Therefore both arrogant, and vngodly be the Papists, which teach, and speak in the commendation of such workes, and namely Petrus a Soto a 1.12, the Rhemistesb 1.13; yea and the Coū∣cell of Trent c 1.14.
