The sum of the answer to the first Reason, which is holy Scripture. 1 Papist account themselves disarmed if they must fight only with the scriptures. Page 24. nota. 2 Of the number of the Canonical scriptures, that Luther and Calvin and their followers have put out none which antiquity and the purest Churches have received. Page 26 3 Campian was an Apostate, not Luther. Page 26 4 Luther only thought not basely of the Epistle of S. James, but antiquity also. Page 27 5 All Protestants highly reverence this Epistle of S. James. Page 28. 30 6 Luther never writ so contemptuously of the Epistle of Saint James as Campian affirms. Page 29 7 S. Paul and the Fathers have taught justification by faith alone. Page 30 8 The place of S. James expounded and proved not to be contrary to the doctrine of justification by faith only. Page 31 9 Not Protestants of late, but the Fathers of old, have put out of the Canon Tobias, Ecclesiasticus, the two books of Maccabees, and divers other books. Page 32. 33 10 The Papists cannot defend the Articles of their religion by the Canonical scriptures, but are forced to fly to the Apocrypha. Page 34 11 Duraeus contrary to the Council of Trent denieth traditions to be of equal authority with the scripture. Page 34 12 Protestants have denied no one book, or word of any book of Canonical scriptures. Page 35 13 Angels do defend the elect, but their hierarchy and degrees are without warrant of the word, and their worship flat against the word. Page 35. 36 ⟨image 10⟩14 Man hath no freewill by nature. Page 37 15 The books of the Maccabees are rejected by divers Fathers, and the Laodicene Council. ibid. 16 Neither prayers to the dead, nor for the dead are lawful. Page 38 17 Se••en books of the Apocrypha were put out of the Canon by Hierome, a thousand years before Calvin was borne. Page 39 18 The 3. and 4. books of Esdra sometime were highly accounted by the church of Rome. Page 39 19 Protestants have not cut out of the Canon six epistles of the new Testament, but honour them much, neither have the Lutherans. Page 40 20 Augustine and Hierome in their difference for the number of the Canonical books reconciled. Page 41. 42 21 Meli•o Bishop of Sardis though he put the book of Wisdom in the Canon, yet he excludeth all the rest.
