Cum bono Deo. Raine from the clouds, vpon a choicke angel: or, A returned answere, to that common quæritur of our adversaries, VVhere was your church before Luther? Digested into several meditations, according to the difference of points. Extorted off the author, for stilling the vncessant, and no lesse clamorous coassation of some patmicke frogges, against the lawfulness of our calling.

Nonum Meletema.

BVt if it please you, let vs retort the Argu∣ment heere, and demand our Adversaries, Where is your Church in SCOTLAND ENGLAND and the LOW-COUN∣TREYS? I hope the Catholicisme of their Church may not suffer them to de∣ny, That they haue one heere. Now, if they affirme, That they haue one heere, let vs regest, atqui nullum sub∣latum vexillum, they haue no publicke, open, or avowed Mi∣nistrie heere, no visible face of a Church. Then, as they must needs grant, That their Church lurketh heere, why

will they not suffer vs, vsing the same libertie, to say, That our Church ceased not to bee simplie, even whereas shee lurked, patrum nostrorum memoria, vnder Antichrists persecu∣tion, more than theirs ceaseth to bee with vs to day?

For closure, It would bee headilie heere adverted vn∣to, howe our adversaries heere reason and conclude ab au∣thoritate, negativè, Vestra Ecclesia non fuit visibilis, ergo non fuit; which argutation, rather than argumentation, non recto stat talo, aut ingreditur pede; as which deceiveth 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
