But Bellarmine touching vpō this point, in answering to Irenaeus, and diuers other Fathers that say, The Apo∣stles wrote all that they preached: saith more briefely, There are some things simply necessary for all men to saluation, as the knowledge of the Articles of the Apo∣stles Creed, and of the ten Commandements, and of some Sacraments: other things are not so necessary, that without the manifest knowledge, faith, and pro∣fession of them a man cannot be saued, if so be that hee haue a ready will to receiue and beleeue them when they shall be lawfully propounded vnto him by the Church. And this distinction, (saith he) is gathered from hence, that without the knowledge and faith of the Mysteries of the first kinde, no man of a ripe Age is admitted to Baptisme: but without the knowledge
A iustification of the Church of England Demonstrating it to be a true Church of God, affording all sufficient meanes to saluation. Or, a countercharme against the Romish enchantments, that labour to bewitch the people, with opinion of necessity to be subiect to the Pope of Rome. Wherein is briefely shewed the pith and marrow of the principall bookes written by both sides, touching this matter: with marginall reference to the chapters and sections, where the points are handled more at large to the great ease and satisfaction of the reader. By Anthony Cade, Bachelour of Diuinity.

and Faith (at least explicit) of the latter, men were or∣dinarily admitted, Acts 2 after one sermon of Saint Peter wherin he had taught the principall heads of faith in Christ, in one day 3000 men were baptized, who whithout doubt knew nothing else but those necessary things. And therefore it is added, that after baptisme they perseuered in the Doctrine of the Apostles, that is, they learned what yet they had not heard of Christian Misteries &c.
This our Bishop Ʋsher agreeth vnto, alledging the Apostles sermons to that purpose, which treated onely of the first principles of the Doctrine of Christ, vpon the receiuing whereof (as of sufficient doctrine to make them Christians) men were baptized. And this he further confirmeth by the writings of Irenaeus and Ter∣tullian, and the Creeds receiued by the Church, the Apostles Creed, the Creed of Athanasius, The Creed of the East Church, recited and confirmed for the be∣leefe of the whole Church in the Councells of Nice and Constantinople and the late Councell of Trent. Whereof I haue spoken already.
