It is true that wee studie Philosophie, and not the Do∣ctrine of other sectes: but yet there is a very great differēce between these twoo Doctrines. 1. Philosophie is whollie naturall: but the principall part of this doctrine (that is, the Gospel) is reuealed from aboue euen from God. 2. On∣ly this doctrine declareth the Gospel: Philosophie is quite ignorant of it. 3. The Doctrine of the Church sheweth the originals of our miseries: Philosophie doth not so. 4 This doctrine whereas it doth assure vs of eternal life, it doth mi∣nister comfort vnto our consciences, and sheweth vs the way how to wade out of dangers: Philosophie teacheth vs not so much as this. 5. Of this we are taught the whole Law: Philosophie letteth passe the chiefest partes. Indeede Phi∣losophie conteineth two partes profitable for mans life, as Logick, Mathematikes & others which God would not de∣liuer in this doctrine: But as concerning this doctrine, Phi∣losophie hath but a little part of the Law, & that obscure∣ly, and that taken out but of a few preceptes of the Law. It hath certain common comforts: those that are not com∣mon it hath not, as being proper vnto the Church. Commō
