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.

But you who glory so greatly in Antiquity, in the voice of the Church, in Councils, what will you answer to the Laodicene Council,1 which forbids the reading of those books, which are without the Canon, and commandeth the reading of those only which are of the Canon of the old and new Testament:f But which are they? are all those which the ⟨p. 44⟩Tridentine Council hath put in the Catalogue? nothing less, but those only which our Church doth hold Canonical. If Campian, you will stand to the judgement of this Council, neither the book of Wisdom, nor any one of the other shall have place among the Canonical Scriptures. Now then whatsoever Augustine should say, if he were alive, doth not much trouble us: for whatsoever he should say in this kind, he could speak nothing against us, but it would touch the Fathers of the Laodicene Council, whose decree in this point, touching the Canonical Scriptures, either he had seen, or at least might take notice of it.
But you who glory so greatly in Antiquitie, in the voice of the Church, in Councels, what will you answere to the Laodicene Councell,1 which forbids the reading of those bookes, which are without the Canon, and commaundeth the reading of those only which are of the Canon of the old and new Testament:f But which are they? are all those which the ⟨p. 44⟩Tridentine Councell hath put in the Catalogue? nothing lesse, but those only which our Church doth hold Canonicall. If Campian, you will stand to the iudgement of this Councell, neither the booke of Wisdome, nor any one of the other shall haue place among the Canonicall Scriptures. Now then whatsoeuer Augustine should say, if he were aliue, doth not much trouble vs: for whatsoeuer he should say in this kind, he could speake nothing against vs, but it would touch the Fathers of the Laodicene Councell, whose decree in this point, touching the Canonicall Scriptures, either he had seene, or at least might take notice of it.
