In elder times, you had Cerinthus and Arrius robbing Christ of his Divinity: Moniche and Marcion of his Humanity; the Nestorians, of the Unity of both ⟨p. 49⟩natures in one Person. They are dead: oh, bury them, bury them: let their Heresies rot. Alas, how are the spirits of them all, by a kind of transanimation, come into the Romists? Christ is, there, robbed of his Truth of his garments, of his peace, of his life, as well as at Jerusalem; and that without show of being his enemies; Spoliastis amici, You are my friends, yet rob me. Bones rob Christ of his adoration: stones of his Prayers: the Pope of his power. Remission of sins, validity of merits, ease of pains, the Pope must give; who would give the world, that he had them for himself. Too much shall be given to the name of Jesus, more then he would have; that a wicked man shall by it cast out Devils: to whom if the Devils reply not, as they did once to the audacious Sons of Sceva; aJesus we know, and Paul we know, but who are ye? yet God answers them, bQui• haec &c. Who hath required this at your hands? Too little to the nature of Jesus: Mans merits shall share with him in justification: Penance in satisfaction: Angels and Saints in Intercession. These are subtle Thieves, that have their bodies for a Communion, their consciences for a Mass, their voices for the Prince, their hearts for the Pope, their souls for the Devil.
In elder times, you had Cerinthus and Arrius robbing Christ of his Diuinitie: Moniche and Marcion of his Humanitie; the Nestorians, of the Vnitie of both ⟨p. 49⟩natures in one Person. They are dead: oh, bury them, bury them: let their Heresies rot. Alas, how are the spirits of them all, by a kind of transanimation, come into the Romists? Christ is, there, robbed of his Truth of his garments, of his peace, of his life, as well as at Ierusalem; and that without shew of being his enemies; Spoliastis amici, You are my friends, yet rob me. Bones rob Christ of his adoration: stones of his Prayers: the Pope of his power. Remission of sinnes, validitie of merits, ease of paines, the Pope must giue; who would giue the world, that he had them for himselfe. Too much shall be giuen to the name of Iesus, more then he would haue; that a wicked man shall by it cast out Deuils: to whom if the Deuils reply not, as they did once to the audacious Sonnes of Sceua;
