to defend them in good earnest. What if all those be not Hereticks, who by these three Authours are put in the Catalogue of Hereticks? There be diuers besides these who haue made Catalogues of Heresies. And to account any doctrine to be an Heresy, it suf∣fices, that we know it to haue byn condemned by the Church, by what meanes soeuer we come to that knowledge. If he had meant well to Protestants, he should haue specified the particular Points, wherin they are accused to agree with Hereticks anciently condemned; and then haue shewed, that they are not such. Or if he could not doe this (as indeed it is im∣possible to be done) he should not haue vsed this ter∣giuersation in matters of Religion, but either haue plainly confessed the truth, or at least not haue put himselfe vpon answering that, which he knew could not be answered in the grounds, which Protestants will seeme to maintaine, namely, Consent with the Ancient Church. But the truth is, he cares not for Antiquity, and therfore with the Socinians would rea∣dily grant, that opinions condemned for Heresies by the ancient Church, may be orthodoxe truths. If any desire to be satisfyed, that sundry doctrines of Prote∣stants, are the same with those which haue been con∣demned by the ancient Church, let him read(e) 1.1 Bel∣larmine and(f) 1.2 other Catholicke Writers.
