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.

It were too long to declare every matter in particular; but by these two Emperors, whereof the one was our deadly enemy, the other was our most faith full friend, one may easily conjecture of every other circumstance, which are like to these afore spoken of. For as under the Tyrant our Catholic Christians, had a trouble some increase, so under this Emperor through Gods great mercy, they were brought to a most happy end. Let us look a little into the Turks affairs:* Mahomet and Sergius the Monk, that fell from his religion, by howling in the deep pit of hell, oppressed both with their own sins, and the sins of their posterity. This monstrous and outrageous beast,2 I mean the Saracens and Turks, if they had not bin quailed and driven back heretofore by the orders of Knights, in our holy warfare and by the Princes and people that take our part: as for Luther, *to whom it is reported, that Solyman the great Turk, for this cause gave great thanks by his letters, yea and as for the Lutheran Princes, to whom the fortunate success of the Turks is but a laughing matter, as for them, I say, this •aging fury, and most mischievous to mortal men, had before this time destroyed and overthrown ⟨p. 293⟩all Europe, and would have occupied himself, as busily in pulling down of Altars and signs of Christs Cross, as ever Calvin was himself.

Let vs looke a little into the Turkes affaires:* Mahomet and Sergius the Monke, that fell from his religion, by howling in the deepe pit of hell, oppressed both with their owne sinnes, and the sinnes of their posteritie. This monstrous and outragious beast,
