Institutions of Christian religion framed out of Gods word, and the writings of the best diuines, methodically handled by questions and answers, fit for all such as desire to know, or practise the will of God. Written in Latin by William Bucanus Professor of Diuinitie in the Vniuersitie of Lausanna. And published in English by Robert Hill, Bachelor in Diuinitie, and Fellow of Saint Iohns Colledge in Cambridge, for the benefit of our English nation, to which is added in the end the practise of papists against Protestant princes.

What things are repugnant heerto?

1 The error of the Papists, who make no difference betwixt the Law and the Gospell, but transforme rhe Gospell into a law, and call it a more perfect law: saying also that the old law was a law of feare, the new, a law of loue: and that Christ hath merited and doth giue to vs that grace, whereby we may fulfill the com∣maundements, and by them attaine righteousnesse and eternal, life.

2 Of the Monks, who cal those things which Christ, Mat. 5 38. & 6.31. & 19.11.12.21. speaketh to expound the lawe, to lance the conscience, and to stirre them vp to a desire of himselfe, counsels onely necessary for them who de∣sire something more perfect then the law of Moses commaun∣deth: & of this nature they faine three things chiefly to be deli∣uered by him. 1. of not reuēging, 2, of pouerty, 3. of virginity▪ but the precepts they say are necessary to al men, where as on the cōtrary

there is not the least word which Christ spoke which wee must not obey.

3 The error of Pelagius and the Schoolemen, who haue taught that the Patriarches were iustified and saued by obseruation of the law of nature, the Iewes by keeping the law of Moses, but Chri∣stians by obseruation of the new law of the Gospell.
