The third part of the Defence of the Reformed Catholike against Doct. Bishops Second part of the Reformation of a Catholike, as the same was first guilefully published vnder that name, conteining only a large and most malicious preface to the reader, and an answer to M. Perkins his aduertisement to Romane Catholicks, &c. Whereunto is added an aduertisement for the time concerning the said Doct. Bishops reproofe, lately published against a little piece of the answer to his epistle to the King, with an answer to some few exceptions taken against the same, by M. T. Higgons latley become a proselyte of the Church of Rome. By R. Abbot Doctor of Diuinitie.

Finally, this holy Sacrament is a principall part of the new Testament, and one of the chiefest legacies by Christ bequea∣thed vnto vs Christians. Now what law or conscience will per∣mit, that any legacie should be interpreted figuratiuely? to wit: that for a house, goods, or lands bequeathed and giuen by last will and testament, you should vnderstand a figure of a house to be giuen, or the signification and representation of some goods or lands. If this be most absurd and ridiculous in the testament of any ordinary man, about temporall goods: how much more pernicious and intollerable is it, to suffer this in the eternall Testament of the Sonne of God, and that in his di∣uine and inestimable treasures?

And thus at length by the grace of God I come to the end of this booke, wherein (good Christian Reader) if thou finde a∣ny thing, that may confirme thee in the true Catholike faith, or further thy knowledge therein; giue God (the Father of lights, from whom all good gifts descend) the whole praise: If any thing be amisse, impute it partly to my slender skill, ouer∣sight, or negligence; and partly to the want of a conuenient resting-place, commoditie of bookes, and conference: all which, these times of persecution doe depriue vs of.
