§. 4. That personall succession to the Chaires of true Teachers, priviledgeth not their successours from errour.
1. Authoritie of Scripture.
EXod. 32.21. And Moses saide to Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them?
Loe then, How the verie first sitter in the high priest's chaire, falleth filthilie in grossest idolatrie.
2. Kings 16.11.16. And Vriah the Priest built an Altar, ac∣cording to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, &c. Thus did Vriah the Priest, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
descriptionPage 41
Note then, That notwithstanding of his succeeding personallie to the office of the high priest-hood, hee performeth all the idolatrous King's commande∣ments, and so foullie erreth.
Mat. 26.65. Then the high Priest rent his garments, saying, Hee hath blaspemed.
Note then, That the high Priests suc∣cession, nor place, freeth him not from erring, in calling CHRISTES trueth, blasphemie.
Mat. 23.2. The Scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses chaire.
But yet.
Iohn 7.48. Haue anie of the Rulers and Pharisees, believed in him? Yea, more-over.
Mat. 16.6. Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heede, and beware, of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadduces.
Verse 12. Then they vnderstood that hee bade them not beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadduces.
descriptionPage 42
Note then, That notwithstanding of their sitting in Moses chaire, they both rejected Christ, and his trueth, and taught contrarie falsehood: neither be∣lieving in the Sonne of God themselues, nor yet truelie teaching the people of God, concerning their MESSIAS.
2. Witnessing of Antiquitie.
NIcephorus doeth testifie, that Nesto∣rius & Macedonius, arch-hereticks, succeeded to S. Andrew the Apostle in the Church of Constantinople, called before Byzantium. Niceph. lib. 8. chronol. cap. 6.
3. Confession of Partie.
THat almost all Arch-hereticks were eyther Bishops or Priestes, sayeth Bel∣armine, Lib. 1. de Pont. Cap. 8. §. 4.
