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.

Page 134 18 Relics of Saints not burned, nor their funerals removed, but their superstitions, injurious to God and his glory. Pag. 135 19 Augustine in his book of freewill doth not establish it, but showeth, that sin cometh from mans freewill, not from God, and therefore entitled his book so. Page 136 ⟨image 14⟩20 The Papists and Pelagians differ not much in freewill. Pag. 137. nota 21 Necessity is not opposite to the freedom of Will, but to force and compulsion; man lost not his will, but the quality of it. nota 22 Augustine esteemed much of antiquity, unity, and succession, if sincere wisdom and truth went with them, else he preferred truth before them; so do Protestants. Page 138 23 Optatus confuted Donatists by the communion of the Catholic Church, so are schismatics to be dealt with, but not from the now Romish church which is no true church. Pag. 138. 139 24 Anthony and other Hermits like him, have not successors like themselves. He accounted a Monastery for a Monk as water is to fish. Page 140. nota 25 Prudentius used a poetical liberty in his devotions to Saints. Page 140. & nota 26 Praying to Saints had gotten great footing in the Church when Ambrose lived, and he and other Fathers were corrupted by it. Page 141. nota 27 Gregory without any warrant called Images lay mens books. Page 141 28 It is lawful to break down• Images by warrant of the word and examples in it, and in the stories of the primitive Church. nota 29 Not Protestants but Papists reject oftentimes the testimony of the Fathers, and fly to Councils. pag. 142. Then Campians argument is not good: Protestants reject some things in the Fathers, therefore they reject their whole volumes; for if it be good, it will fall upon themselves. Page 142 30 Protestants have reason to prohibit popish books being full of sedition and heresy, specially seeing in Queen Mary's time they executed martial law upon any that had the books of Protestants. Page 143 31 Bishop Jewel proved all the ancient Fathers to be against the church of Rome, in disputing with Harding, as he had assumed at the Cross. Page 144. 145
