Nations converted.

Great multitudes were converted in this Age, both in Italy, France▪ Spain, Germany, Polonia, In∣dia, Iaponia, China, by Priests, and Religious of the Roman Church: and likewise some considerable persons of the English Nation, even in the heat of persecution.

I have omitted multitudes of Provincial Coun∣cils, all establishing and defining our Tenets over the whole world, a sure eviction of the consent

of Nations, as well as Ages, in our behalfe.

Now let any rational and disinteressed man be judg, whether the Fathers of these foresaid coun∣cils were true Protestants or Roman Catholiques, (that is, whether they have taught and defined, Protestant, or Roman Catholique Doctrines) and doubtless, he will say, Roman Catholiques: And so by consequence were all the Ages and Countryes which have received, and approved them for Or∣thodox, by humbly submitting to their Decrees, to wit, all Ages, since Christs time: Therefore let no Protestant, or other Sectary delude himself, and his ignorant and credulous followers, with a pretence to Councils, seeing there is no one to be found for them (speaking of General and oecumenical Councils) which ha's defined, or taught their Negative Doctrines, but all have more or less condemned them, according to the Heresies then emergent. So impossible a task it is for them, to make a Catalogue of their Chief Pa∣stors and Councils in all Ages, which notwith∣standing must, and will be alwayes required of them, to the eternal confusion of their novelties.
