REPLY.

The summe of his Answere, is this: Let a man be∣lieue the Scripture, and for the interpretation of it, be guided by himselfe alone, and then there can be no Heresy, but all must be of one Communion. A paradoxe sufficiently confuted, only by being recited. Such a Church of Socinians, will indeed abound with Vnity, or rather singularity, of euery man a part by himselfe: but it can neuer hope to enioy Vnion, or Communion of one with another.

Thus, I hope, the Reader cleerly perceaues, that, as I said in the beginning, Protestants are forsaken in this mans Answers, and grounds layd to introduce a new vnchristian Sect. But yet notwithstanding his contrary intentions, men who haue a feeling care of their owne soules, will see, both the force of his Motiues, and that the Infallibility of Gods Church, & the necessity of a liuing Guide in the way to Heauen, manifestly appeares, by his very Answers and Exam∣ple, which demonstrate, that whosoeuer relyes not on such a Rocke, must be inconstant in all his wayes.
