Well! but one of these Articles at least (the Popes Sovereignty) H. T. will prove successively, if you will be credulous enough. In the first age he proves it from Peters words, Act. 15. 7, 8, 9, 10. God chose Peter to convert Cornelius and his company: therefore the Pope is the Universal Monarch. Are you not all convinced by this admirable argument? But he forgot that Bellarmine, Ragusius (in Concil. Basil.) and others of them say, that no Article can be proved from Scripture, but from the proper literal sense. To say somewhat more, he unseasonably ⟨p. 146⟩talks of the Council of Sardis and Calcedon, an. 400. & 451. lest the first age have but a blank page.

In the second age he hath nothing but the names of a few that never dreamt of Popery, and a Canon (which you must believe was the Apostles) that Priests must communicate. Of which we are well content.
