Extra quam (Ecclesiam Roman) nulla est salus. Without which (the Church of Rome) there is no salvation. That is, who live not under the obedience of the Church of Rome, can not be saved. No man can be saved without her Bulls and Pardons. The Church of Rome is the Ark of Noah, whosoever is without it, is drowned.1 Subesse Romano Pontifici (saith Pope Boniface) omni humanae creaturae declaramus, dicimus, definimus, & pronuntiamus omnino esse de necessitate salutis. We declare, say, determine, and pronounce, that it is of the necessity of salvation, for every mortal creature to be subject to the Bishop of Rome. If the case were ⟨p. 20⟩so hard as it is made by his words, then it would go amiss with all those Nations and Kingdoms, and people which believe in Christ in Ethiopia, India, Arabia, Africa, Asia, Graecia, Moscovia, of which some are greater than all Christendom. They are not subject to the Pope, they yield no obedience to the Church of Rome. Are they all drowned, because they be not within that Ark? are they all damned because they know not their good manner to the Bishop of Rome? the kingdoms of England, Scotland, Denmark, and Sweden: the Dukes of Saxony, Brunswick, & Wittenberg: the Palsgrave of Rhine, the Landgrave of Hessia, the Earls and Noble men through the whole Country of Germany, the infinite number of their people and subjects: many hundred thousands in Spain, Italy, France, Hungary, and in the kingdom of Pole, are without that Church, and live not under the obedience thereof: are they all therefore damned: God forbid: the mercy of the Lord is above all his ⟨p. 21⟩works, in every place, who so ever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved, who soever trusteth in the Lord, shall not be confounded. You may well reckon this for the sixth untruth:2 all which six are made in the compass of six lines.
Extra quam (Ecclesiam Roman) nulla est salus. Without whiche (the Churche of Rome) there is no saluation. That is, who liue not vnder the obedience of the Churche of Rome, can not be saued. No man can be saued without hir Buls and Pardons. The Churche of Rome is the Arke of Noah, whosoeuer is without it, is drowned.
