§. 11. After all this Mr. D. addeth Wickliffs opinions against Popery to the number of 29. But what all this is to the case of Infant-baptism, what man besides himself can tell? But let me tell him that I would not have him too easily believe bitter adversary Papists, lest he forfeit the little relicts of his own credit: And that it is not like that Wycliffe was against enjoining the Lords-Prayer as he citeth: Yea, I would not have Mr. D. come so near the Papists yet as Wycliffe did. How doth he like such words as these [Trialog. li. 4. c. 22. fol. 138. Et talis est triplex Ecclesia; Ecclesia scilicet Militans, Dormiens, & Triumphans — Ecclesia Dormiens est praedestinati in Purgatorio patients — that is, There is such a threefold Church: The militant Church, the sleeping Church, the triumphant Church: — The sleeping Church is the Predestinate suffering in Purgatory.]

And lib. 2. c. 10. see what he saith of Angels and adoration of them. And c. 11. of Angels offices, and their being virtually every where. And what he saith of Kings, and Matrimony (quod excedit alia Sacramenta, &c.) li. 4. c. 19, 20. fol. 132, 133. Nor would I say that omnia quae eveniunt de necessitate eveniunt, as fol. 120. a. Or that Deus potest esse Asinus si velit, ut fol. 90. b.
