IESVIT.

For how can the Tradition of Christian doctrine be emi∣nently and notoriously Apostolicall, if the Church deliuering [ E] the same, hath not a manifest and conspicuous pedigree or deriuation from the Apostles, which is a conuincing argu∣ment vsed by Saint Augustine; how can we thinke that we Page  67 〈◊〉 receiued manifestly Christ, if wee 〈◊〉 not also 〈◊〉 [ A] manifestly his Church? It is a Principle of Phylosophie, Propter quod vnumquodque tale & illud magis. But the name of Christ his glory, his vertue and miracles, are to the world famously knowne from age to age, by rea∣son of the Church, and her preaching, that in her first Pa∣stours saw them with their eyes. Ergo, This Church must needes be more famous, more illustrious, as able to giue fame vnto the being, and Doctrine, and actions of [ B] Christ.
