His slandrous wordes, where hee like a slaue of antichrist doth call vs Caluinists, doth shew his had humor, and howe without lying and rayling, neither he, nor his consorts can maintaine their credit.Proclus Haereticus apud Epiphanium haeres. 64. saith Bellar∣mine,Ibidem.dicebat peccatum in renatis semper viuere. concupiscen∣tiam enim verè esse peccatum, nec tolli per baptismum, sed so∣piri per fidem, quod idem docuerunt Meslaliani haeretici apud Theodoretum lib. 4. de haeret. fabulis. haec est ipsissima senten∣tia Lutheri artic. 2. & 31. Item Philippi in locis communibus c. de peccato Originis, & Caluini lib. 4. instit c. 15. §. 10. But to report somewhat, that may tend to slander vs, he hath re∣ported a number of lies all vpon a heape. for neither did Pro∣clus say, that concupiscence was sinne, and that it was not ta∣ken away by baptisme, but onely made dull by faith: nor did the Messalians teach any such matter. nor doth either Epi∣phanius say that of Proclus, or Theodoret of the Messalians, that Bellarmine reporteth. nor doth either Luther, or Melan∣cthon, or Caluin teach, that sinne doth liue alwaies in the re∣generat.

Neither doth any man teach, that con∣cupiscence doth reigne, or liue in the regenerat, as this lying and slandrous mouth affirmeth. Whereas Nouatus denyed reconciliation to such as had fallen in time of persecution, Ibidem. or as Bellarmine saith, power to reconcile men to God, otherwise then by baptisme, he char∣geth Caluin with this heresie, as if Caluin did deny reconci∣liation to repentant sinners, or had said, that the church hath no power to reconcile such as are fallen. As not this therfore grosse impudency, to lye so manifestly? But saith he, Caluin denied, that there was any sacrament of repentance, beside bap∣tisme. as if he, that denied this, must néedes say, that the 0
