Synopsis papismi, that is, A generall viewe of papistry wherein the whole mysterie of iniquitie, and summe of antichristian doctrine is set downe, which is maintained this day by the Synagogue of Rome, against the Church of Christ, together with an antithesis of the true Christian faith, and an antidotum or counterpoyson out of the Scriptures, against the whore of Babylons filthy cuppe of abominations: deuided into three bookes or centuries, that is, so many hundreds of popish heresies and errors. Collected by Andrew Willet Bachelor of Diuinity.

The Protestants.

2 THis decree of theirs is contrary to the practise of the Apostles, whom the Rhemists confesse to haue ministred the sacrament to the Christians daylie, Annotat. Act. 2. sect. 6. So expounding the wordes of the text, They continued dayly in breaking of bread.

2. It seemeth also to be contrary to Saint Pauls rule, who speaketh of often communicating: Doe this, sayth he, as oft as you drink it, 1. Corinth. 11.25. For seeing the eating of that bread, and drinking of that cuppe, is nothing els, but a shewing foorth of the Lords death till he come: who seeth not, that it ought oftener then once or twice in the yere to be receiued, seeing the death of Christ ought continually to be remembred, and shewed foorth?

3 Therefore Augustine doth boldely reprehend their custome that content themselues with once receiuing in the yeare: Si panis quotidianus est, cur post annum illum sumas? accipe quotidie, quod quotidie tibi prosit: If it be thy daylie bread, why doest thou take it but yearely? take that daylie and continu∣ally, which may profit thee daylie, In Luk. serm. 28.
