Reason. 19.
You must not tolerate Popery, unless you will withal tolerate all these heresies which are contained in Popery, viz. 1. That the word of God (I tremble to write it) is ⟨p. 15⟩obscure, imperfect, and insufficient to lead us to all truth that may save us, and to keep us from all error that may damn us. 2. That men must rest upon the judgement of men for salvation. 3. That some, if not all are born without sin: which one opinion may undo the world by keeping it in ignorance of is misery, and in a neglect of the way of safety. 4. That man works out his salvation by the power of nature, and is saved by the merit of his works. 5. That some sins are venial, and deserve not death (though the Law saith the man is accursed that continueth not in all things commanded in the Law to do them,) 6. That the sin against the holy Ghost is not unpardonable. 7. That Christ is not God of himself, and that bread and wine is God. 9. That there are many Mediators, as the Virgin Mary, &c. besides, that one Mediator Jesus Christ: by whose merits we are saved: That Saints are to be worshipped. 10. That we must still offer sacrifice, that preaching is the way of heretics. 11. That the virtue of Sacraments depend upon the intention of a Priest. 12. That the observation of outward Ceremonies is the essence of divine worship▪ 13. That mingle so many Ceremonies with the pure worship and holy Sacraments. 14. That the grace of God depends upon these Ceremonies, and the outward observance of them. 15. That some meats are unlawful. 16. That priests marriages are unlawful. 17. That a few words turn the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. 18. That one and the same body of Christ is in heaven and in earth all one. 19. That men must worship creatures. 20. That none are saved by the Sacrament who communicate in both kinds against the judgement of the Church. 21. That men can pardon sin. 22. That Mass may save men after they are dead. 23. That if man believes ⟨p. 16⟩in Christ he cannot be saved, unless he believe in the Pope. That Kings may be deposed and murdered by their Subjects: &c. They that indulge Popery, indulge almost all the Heresies that are in the world.
