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.

As for that that you demand with what mind Luther did take away this verse from the Church prayers, O holy Trinity, one God, have mercy upon us, certainly you are too suspicious. If Luther did think erroneously touching the Trinity, convince him: his books are in mens hands, and they are read by you, as it seemeth, very diligently. Allege, if you can, any one word, injurious either to the Trinity or Unity. For if out of all his writings, which are innumerable, you can draw no probable inkling of this suspicion, why do you make question about one verse taken away from the Church prayers? which whether it be taken away or no, I know not: and though it be taken away, yet how appears it that it was taken away by him? But Luther's condition is very hard, who must stand unto, both what he hath written, and what he hath not written. And these are those our paradoxes concerning God, which you could carp at in the books of all our writers, which have come forth in a manner infinitely. The matter is safe and sound: the adversary hath viewed over all of them, and yet hath found nothing.
As for that that you demaund with what minde Luther did take away this verse from the Church prayers, O holy Trinitie, one God, haue mercie vpon vs, certeinly you are too suspitious. If Luther did think erroneously touching the Trinitie, conuince him: his bookes are in mens hands, and they are read by you, as it seemeth, very diligently. Alleage, if you can, any one word, iniurious either to the Trinitie or Vnitie. For if out of all his writings, which are innumerable, you can draw no probable inkling of this suspition, why doe you make question about one verse taken away from the Church prayers? which whether it bee taken away or no, I know not: and though it bee taken away, yet how appeares it that it was taken away by him? But Luthers condition is very hard, who must stand vnto, both what hee hath written, and what hee hath not written. And these are those our paradoxes concerning God, which you could carpe at in the bookes of all our writers, which haue come foorth in a manner infinitely. The matter is safe and sound: the aduersarie hath viewed ouer all of them, and yet hath found nothing.
By and by you proceed to the person of Christ,
