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.

The sum of the second answer, touching the true meaning of the Scripture. 1 The substance and soul of the scripture is the true meaning. Page 59 2 The sense is not that which most hold, but which is agreeable to the scripture. ibid. nota 3 Papists make the Church the interpreter of scriptures; that is, first Bishops, then Councils; in their defect, the Pope: for he so challengeth it, that whatsoever he thinketh, that must be the meaning of it. Page 60 4 It is very absurd to hang the sense of the scriptures upon one mans judgement, especially upon the Pope, so unlearned and absurd an interpreter as many of them have bin Page 60. 61 5 They teach the sense of the scripture may be changed with the times and occasions. Page 61 6 Four senses of every scripture made by Papists. Page 61. 62 7 The manner of interpreting the scriptures amongst Protestants, which is ancient and safe. Page 62 8 Protestants do not exclude Christ from the supper, as Papists falsely accuse them; yet they include him not in it, as Papists do; his natural body they place in heaven, but the virtue, communion, and benefit of this body they exclude not, ⟨image 11⟩but mainte•• that whole Christ is present to each mans faith. Page 63 9 Christ is as present in Baptism, and was to the Fathers, as in the Supper. ibid. nota 10 The popish and false interpretation of these words, This is my body, this my blood, confuted by the same rule whereby Campian would confirm them, that is, by conference of them with the words adjoining. Page 64. 65 11 That the words of the sacrament be figurative, is proved by the induction of other sacraments. Page 65. 66 12 There is no miracle in the sacrament. Page 67 13 Papists affirm that the wicked eat the body of Christ as well as the believer. Page 67 14 All antiquity is on the Protestants side for the interpretation of the words of the sacrament against the Papists, and so their transubstantiation is a new invention. Page 67 15 The testimonies of Tertullian and Augustine alleged, and of Theodoret. Page 68. 69 16 The testimony of Macarius a Monk. Page 70 17 Campian dealeth unequally, pressing the Protestants to leave the judgement of the scripture and stand to the judgement of the Pope being an enemy to them. Page 71
