This Doctrine serveth,
This Doctrine serueth,
First,1 for the confutation of the Papists, who clog mens consciences, and lay on them heavy and yet unnecessary burdens, enjoining them, if they would get termission of their sins, to go in pilgrimage to this or that place, to pray to this or that Saint, to make some satisfaction to God, &c: as if they should find mercy any where, rather then by seeking it at Gods hands: and they speed accordingly: for whereas David went unto the Lord for favour, and obtained it, they have still unsettled hearts, and restless consciences: or hard hearts, and benumbed consciences, never getting any true peace, or sound comfort in the assurance of their ⟨p. 14⟩reconciliation with the Lord.
