An answer to the Ten reasons of Edmund Campian the Jesuit in confidence whereof he offered disputation to the ministers of the Church of England, in the controversy of faith. Whereunto is added in brief marginal notes, the sum of the defence of those reasons by John Duræus the Scot, being a priest and a Jesuit, with a reply unto it. Written first in the Latin tongue by the reverend and faithful servant of Christ and his Church, William Whitakers, Doctor in Divinity, and the Kings Professor and public reader of Divinity in the University of Cambridge. And now faithfully translated for the benefit of the unlearned (at the appointment and desire of some in authority) into the English tongue; by Richard Stock, preacher in London. ...An ansvvere to the Ten reasons of Edmund Campian the Iesuit in confidence wherof he offered disputation to the ministers of the Church of England, in the controuersie of faith.

Which direction of his, as touching the forepart of it, the Scriptures and Apocrypha, if any think they could better advise, let them for me enjoy their conceit, under their correction I will subscribe fully to it. In the latter part, because he speaketh of Authors not in our natural tongue, in stead of them I would commend these unto you, written originally in our own tongue. For matter of controversy, Doctor Bilson, now Lord Bishop of Winchester, his true defence between Christian subjection and unchristian rebellion against the Jesuits. Doctor Fulke his answer to the Rhemist Testament, and divers other of his works: and Doctor Willets Synopsis. For matter of conscience, the Works of Master Greenham and Master Rogers. For matter both of conscience and soundness of faith, the Works of Master Perkins. Many other particular Treatises of special things there are, written by good and learned men; which you may read as occasion may offer it, and the advice of discreet men may encourage you. Now with the books of the first kind would I commend this particular book, which, at the commanding request of an honourable person, I have both reduced into one book, written ⟨image 8⟩by several Authors in several Treatises, and translated into English for your benefit. In which the greatest part of the controversies betwixt us and the Church of Rome, you shall find in some part touched. The state of the question plainly laid down, and some manifest, short and pithy answer or resolution of it. Two Papists are the opponents, Campian an Englishman, and Duraeus a Scot; one Englishman and a famous light of our Church hath answered them both. The answer to the first was more sparing, because the adversaries objections were either slender, or slightly urged. But there is so full a supply made thereof by the answer to the second, that he had little stomach or ability to make a rejoinder.
