• title page
• TO THE HONOVRABLE AND RENOVVNED VNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, Thomas Fitzherbert Priest of the Society of IESVS, wi∣sheth all Health, Honor, and true Felicity.
• THE PREFACE TO THE READER. Wherein certaine malicious cauills, & opprobrious reproaches obiected a∣against the Author by M. Collins in his Preface, are fully answered; and his notable fraud, folly, and grosse i∣gnorance, euen in Grammer is dis∣couered.
• table of contents
• A Declaration of the first poynt to be deba∣ted. M. Collins his grosse or rather ma∣licious construction of gerere personam. His notorious want of memory, wit, & conscience. CHAP. I.
• M. Collins his answere to a place of S. Augustine, & his 6. notes vpon the same are examined, and confuted. And by the way his notable folly, fraude, contradi∣ctions, and shamefull abuse aswell of S. Augustine & Origen, as of his Aduer∣sary, is discouered. CHAP. II.
• M Collins his answere to another place of S. Augustine is examined. Three rea∣sons which he vrgeth against the primacy of S. Peter are proued to be most ridicu∣lous; the first being nothing to the pur∣pose, and the other two being as forcible against our Sauiours Supremacy, as a∣gainst S. Peters. CHAP. III.
• M. Collins his answere to a third place of S. Augustine is confuted, with the dis∣cory of his foolish, and false glosse vpon it, and his childish ignorance in impug∣ning still our Sauiours Supremacy, no les then S. Peters. CHAP. IIII.
• A fourth place of S. AVGVSTINE is debated, which M. Collins chargeth the Adioynder to haue alleadged lame∣ly, and fraudulently. The imputation of fraude is cleared. A false glosse of M. Col∣lins vpon S. Cyprian is disproued. Fiue or six notable fooleryes of his detected; with his manifest corruption, and falsi∣fication of the sense, and text of the Adioynder. CHAP. V.
• M. Collins his answere to 2. places, the one of S Ambrose, and the other of S. Leo, is proued to be exceeding fraudulent: and by the way many fooleries, and ridiculous absurdityes are discouered therin. Finally M. Casaubon (to whome M. Collins remitteth his Aduersary) is found to be very defectiue, and absurd; iniurious to Carinall Bellarmine, and opposite to M. Collins. CHAP. VI.
• The Author passeth to another Controuersy touching Prayer to Saints, and the Ve∣neration of their relikes: and for breui∣tyes sake vndertaketh from henceforth to discouer only M. Collins his falsityes fraudes, and manifest lyes; omitting his absurdityes and fooleryes. AND In this Chapter M. Collins is conuinced to aue shamefully abused not onely the Author, but also S. Hierome, S Basil, the Councell of Gangra, S. Ephraem, S. Gregory Nazianzen, and S. Epi∣phanius. And by the way, Answere is returned to my Lord of Winchester, of a message which he sent to the Author by M. Collins. CHAP. VII.
• An impious and absurd glosse of M. Col∣lins vpon a discourse of S. Epiphani∣us against the Collyridian Heretikes is examined, and proued to be partly re∣pugnant to the text of that holy Father, and partly opposite to the beliefe, and doctrine of his Maiesty; and finally blasphemous, and most iniurious to the immaculate Mothr of God, whose ho∣nour is defended throughout the whole Chapter. CHAP. VIII.
• M. Collins is conuinced to haue shameful∣ly abused diuers other ancient Fathers, to wit, S Gregory Nissen, S. Chryso∣stome, the Councell of Constātinople, S. Augustine, and Theodoret; and to haue left my Lord of Winchester in the Lurch vndefended, touching a most fraudulent abuse of Cardinall Bellar∣mine, wherwith his Lordship was deep∣ly charged in the Adioynder. CHAP. IX.
• A manifest discouery of M. Collins his fraud in corrupting the Text, and per∣uerting the Sense of the Adioynder, touching the adoration of holy Relikes; he belyeth Gregory de Valentia, whom he vnderstandeth not: He abuseth e∣gregiously S. Hierome many wayes, in belying him, in clipping his text, in peruerting his sense, and incalumnia∣ting him. Lastly he is proued to be most ignorant euen in Grammar. CHAP. X.
• A serious discourse of M. Collins against the veneration, reseruation, digging vp and carrying about of holy Reliques is throughly examined, and his incredi∣ble impudency, fraud, & falshood ther∣in discouered by the manifest abuse of S. Ambrose, Sozomen, Theodoret, S. Chrysostome, Optatus, S. Gre∣gory the Great, S. Gregory of Tow∣ers, Origen, Victor Vticensis, and S. Hierome. CHAP. XI.
• My Lord of Winchester being charged in the Adioynder with inexcusable falsity in the manifest abuse of S. Augustine, is abandoned by his champion M. Col∣lins: in whome also three notable frauds are discouered ouching one sentence of the same holy Father; and that he hath shamefully belyed Cardinall Bellar∣mine Lastly the veneration, and tran∣slation of holy Reliques, and the custom to carry them in procession, is clearely proued out of S. Augustine. CHAP. XII.
• THE CONCLVSION TO THE VNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
• AN APPENDIX TOVCHING a place of S. Ephraem, alleadged by my Lo. of Winchester, against Prayer to Saints, de∣bated with M. Collins before in the 7. Chap. num. 50. & sequent.
• Faultes escaped in the print.
