The Practice of Piety

26 That the Church of Rome may err and fall away from the true Faith: as well as the Church of Jerusalem, ⟨p. 990⟩or any other particular Church. Rom. 11.20.21.22.

26 That the Church of Rome may erre and fall away from the true Faith: as well as the Church of Ierusalem, ⟨p. 990⟩or any other particular Church. Rom. 11.20.21.22.

And seeing the new upstart Church of Rome teacheth in all these, and in innumerable other points clean contrary to that which the Apostles taught the Primitive Romans; let GOD and this Epistle judge betwixt them and us, whether of us both stand• in the true ancient Catholic Faith, which the Apostle taught the old Romans. And whether we have not done well to depart from them, so far as they have departed from the Apostles doctrine: and whether it be not better to return to S. Pauls truth, then still to continue in Romes error. And if this be true; then let ⟨p. 991⟩Jesuits and Seminary Priests take heed and fear, least it be not faith, but faction: not truth, but treason: not religion, but rebellion, beginning at Tiber, and ending at Tyburn, which is the cause of their deaths. And being sent from a troublesome Apostatical See, rather then from a peaceable Apostolical Seat; because they cannot be suffered to persuade Subject, to break their Oaths, and to with-draw their Allegiance from their Sovereign; to raise rebellion; to move invasion; to stab and poison Queens; to kill and murder Kings; to blow up whole States with Gun-powder, they desperately cast away their own bodies to be hanged
