But suppose you had said [since the Apostles time] This also had excluded most Churches on earth. But if you mean the Universal Church, we grant you easily, that it hath been visible ever since Christs time: but not alway in one place or Country. Is not the greater part of Christians in the world, whom you schismatically unchurch, a visible company? Doubtless you know they are. Yea the Abassines and many Churches that being out of the Roman Empire, did never so much as submit to your Primacy of Order, nor had you ever any thing to do with them (more then to own them as Christians) yet now are condemned by your Arrogancy, because they will not begin in the end of the world, to enter into a new Church, which they nor their Fore-fathers had ever any dependence on. It was a shrewd answer of an old woman, that the Emperor of Habassia's Mother gave to Gonzalus Rodericus the Jesuit, pressing her to be subject to the Pope as the Vicar of Christ, or else she could not be subject to Christ [Neque ego, inquit illa, neque mei sancto Petro obedientiam negamus: in eadem nunc sumus fide, in quae fuimus ab initio: ea si recta non erat, cur per tot aetates ac secula nemo repertus est, qui nos errrantes commonerent] i. e. We are in the ⟨p. 255⟩same Belief as we were from the beginning: If it were not right, why did no man in so many ages warn us of our error till now?] Mark here a double Argument couched against the Pope, One from Tradition, even Apostolical Tradition, (for Godignus himself saith, that no man doubts but Ethiopia received the faith from the beginning, even from the the Eunuch and St. Matthew.) The other is, that sure that Pope that cannot in so many ages look after his flock, no not so much as to send one man to tell them that they erred till about one thousand five hundred years after Christ, was never intended by Christ to be the Universal Governor of the world. What! will Christ set any on an Impossible work? Or make it so necessary to people to obey one that they never so much as hear from? But what said the Jesuit to the old woman! Why he told her [Non potuisse Romanum Pontificem, qui totius Christi Ecclesiae pastor est, praeteritis retro annis, Doctores in Abassiam mittere, eò quod Mahumetani omnia circumdarent, nec ullum ad ipsos additum relinquerant.
