Question. What gatherest thou thereof?
Question. What geatherest thou thereof?
Answer. That the Papistry is at no hand Christianity, but rather so great a ⟨image 95⟩straying, as he that doeth embrace it & abide in it, he must fall from Christianity. The same is said of Grecism which also is so great a straying from Christianity, that no man can truly be a *Grecian and a Christian at this day. I say notwithstanding that the Gentiles (which now are comprehended generally in those same two factions and inclined to that cutting of of theirs which Paul manifestly foretold) are not for all that to be reckoned cut of, as long as the outward note of Baptism shall endure there: and further I say that the Church is gathered out of the middest and in the middest of Papistry.
