II. Reason: The Faith or Religion of the Papists, as described by themselves, is so far from Infallibility, as that it is utterly uncertain, unintelligible, and mere contradiction and confusion; and a changeable thing; so that no man knoweth whether he have it or not, and whether he have it all; But whoever hath it, he hath certainly a hodge-podge of truth and falsehood.

III. Reason. Their Papacy, which essentiateth their Church, is a horrid Usurpation of Christs own Prerogative, and of an Office to do that which is incomparably above the Natural Power or Capacity of any mortal man; even to be the Apostle and Governor of the whole world (of Christians at least); To take Charge of all the souls on earth; to teach and call those that are uncalled, and to Rule those that are baptized: even at the Antipodes, and in all those unknown or inaccessible parts of the world, which he hath no knowledge of: A far more arrogant undertaking, than to be the Civil Monarch of all the earth; and utterly impossible for him to perform, and which never was performed by him.
