An advertisement to all favourers of the Roman religion, showing that the said religion is against the Catholic principles and grounds of the Catechism.
An aduertisement to all fauourers of the Romane religion, shewing that the said religion is against the Catholike principles and grounds of the Catechisme.
Great is the number of them that embrace the religion of the present Church of Rome, being deceived by the glorious titles of Universality, Antiquity, Succession. And no doubt, though some be wilfully blinded, yet many devoted this way, never saw any other trueth. Now of them and the rest I desire this favour, that they will but weigh and ponder with them selves this one thing, which I will now offer to their considerations, and that is, That the Roman religion now stablished by the council of Trent, is in the principal points thereof against the grounds of the Catechism, that have been agreed upon ever since the days of the Apostles, by all Churches. These grounds are four; the first is the Apostles Creed: the second is the decalogue or ten commandments: the third is the form of prayer called the Lords prayer: the fourth is the Institution of the two Sacraments baptism and the Lords supper. 1. Cor. 11.23.
