Demands to be propounded of Catholickes to the heretikes by Richard Bristow ... ; taken partly out of his late English booke of Motiues to the Catholicke faith, partely out of his printed Latin booke of the same matter.

THE CONTINVAL SVC∣cession of the Popes of Rome, as it is recorded in all Cronicles & Ecclesiasticall Histories (besides many other good writers) both olde and new, wherof I say with S, Augustine con. Epist. Manichaei, cap. 4. In Catholicae Ecclesiae gremio iustissime tenet me, &c. Besides ma∣ny other thinges, this moste wor∣thely keepeth me in the lappe of the Catholike Church: to wit, the Succession of Priestes from S. Peter the Apostle him selfe (to whom our Lord after his Resur∣rection Ioan. 12. committed the feeding of his sheepe) euen to the Bishop that now is.

Venite fratres si vultis, &c. Come brethren if ye will, that you may be graffed in the vine, it is a greif to see you lie so cut of. Nūber the priestes euen from the very See of Peter: and in that order of Fa∣thers, se who succeded whō. That is the Rocke, which the proude gates of hel do not ouercome. So saide S. Augustine, a branch then cleuing to the vine, in the Psalme that he made against the piece of Donate an Archeheretike of that time. And euen so say wee that now likewise are of the wholle vine, to these pieces of Luther & Caluine and others, that haue in our time cut off them selues. Or els, if we say not well, let them al lay their heads together, & shew that which they hitherto could neuer shew: that Gregorie the fiftenth who now is Pope, and

from whom it pleaseth them to dissent in so many Articles of Faith: that either he (I say) is, or any other of the Popes, his Pre∣decessors, was, the first amongst the Popes, that brought or tooke into the Romanes faith the saide Articles, or any one of thē. Sure it is, that they cannot so charge neither this, nor no other Pope. And therefore plaine it is, that the Romans are still in S. Peter & S. Paules faith, as they were whē S. Paul wrote vnto thē And ther∣fore againe with S. Augustine, Ipsa est Petra, This is the Rocke which the proud gates of hell do not ouercome.
