2. That never any honest godly man did turn Papist in the world; and this the Papists themselves will justify: For they say (by a Pope and general Council) that no man can be saved but a Papist: and they generally hold, that all that have Charity and are justified, shall be saved if they so die. So that if Popery be true, then no man had Charity or true Godliness before he was a Papist: and therefore never did one godly man or woman turn Papist. And therefore let them take the honour of their wicked seduced Ones. What glory is it to them that none ever turned to them but ungodly people?

3. And it followeth that the Papists do not so much as desire or invite any godly man to turn to them. If you understand their meaning, they call you not to turn to them, if you are not ungodly persons.
4. And hence it follows that every one that turneth Papist, doth thereby confess that he was a wicked man before, and that he had not the least true love to God; that he was not justified, but a graceless wretch.
