THE true state of the Question: VVith a Summary of the Rea∣sons, for vvhich, amongst men of different Religions, one side only can be saued.
VVhat is that meanes vvherby the reuealed truths of God are conueyed to our Ʋnderstanding, and vvhich must determine Controuersies in Fayth and Religion.
That the distinction of points fun∣damentall, and not fundamentall, is neither pertinent, nor true in our pre∣sent Controuersy. And that the Ca∣tholique visible Church cannot erre in eyther kind of the sayd points.
To say, that the Creed containes all points necessarily to be belieued, is neyther pertinent to the Question in hand, nor in it selfe true.
That Luther, Caluin, their asso∣ciates, and all vvho began, or conti∣nue the separation from the externall Communion of the Roman Church, are guilty of the proper, and formall sinne of Schisme.
That Luther, and therest of Prote∣stants haue added Heresy to Schisme.
In regard of the Precept of Charity tovvards ones selfe, Protestants are in state of Sinne, as long as they re∣maine separated from the Roman Church.
