ANSWER. [ B]

The mayne Proposition of this Section, to wit, Protestants 〈◊〉 fundamentally, according to the second kinde of erring, &c. is denied: and the Assumption of the Syllogisme, whereby the Obiectour laboureth to prooue the same, is palpably vntrue. For Protestants maintaine no priuate opinion, either stiffely or remissely, whereby they haue denied and abandoned the true Catholicke Church.

First, They maintaine no doctrine as matter of Faith, but that which is deliuered in holy Scripture, and which consen∣teth [ C] with the Primitiue Church, either expresly or virtually. But such doctrine is not priuate opinion, because the holy Ghost, which is the supreame gouernour and directour of the Church, and the Prophets and Apostles which were inspired from heauen, are the Authours thereof.

Secondly, The Romane Church is not the Catholicke Church, but an vnsound part of the generall visible Church, as it is prooued by the Learned of our part a, whereunto the Ad∣uersaries haue, as yet, made no replie.
