Aduersaries to this ground.
First, the common Protestant, who in judgment holdeth one God, yet in heart and life he setteth up two or moe: some riches, some pleasure, some one sin or other: for where a mans heart is, there is his God. Paul saith, some make their belly their God: and that the Devil is the God of the world.
First, the common Protestant, who in iudgment holdeth one God, yet in heart and life he setteth vp two or moe: some riches, some pleasure, some one sinne or other: for where a mans heart is, there is his God. Paul saith, some make their bellie their God: and that the Diuell is the God of the world.
Secondly, the main Enemy is the Popish Church, 1which in word holdeth one God, but divers ways set up divers gods. As first the Pope himself, who (by their reformed Canon law) is to judge all, and to be judged of none. Who maketh himself a forgiver of sins and that properly: yea, a maker of laws to bind conscience aswell as Gods laws, which is horrible blasphemy. Secondly, the Virgin Mary, whom they make a Goddess as Christ a God: as Christ a King, so her a Queen; as he a Lord, so her a Lady: yea they set Christ below her, whom they desire to command her son by the right of a mother: yea and in some of their reformed Service books, they trust in her for salvation.
Secondly, the maine Enemie is the Popish Church, 1which in word holdeth one God, but diuers waies set vp diuers gods. As first the Pope himselfe, who (by their reformed Canon law) is to iudge all, and to be iudged of none. Who maketh himselfe a forgiuer of sinnes and that properly: yea, a maker of lawes to binde conscience aswell as Gods lawes, which is horrible blasphemie. Secondly, the Virgin Mary, whom they make a Goddesse as Christ a God: as Christ a King, so her a Queene; as he a Lord, so her a Ladie: yea they set Christ below her, whom they desire to commaund her sonne by the right of a mother: yea and in some of their reformed Seruice bookes, they trust in her for saluation.
