Tell us not of our 39 Articles, and other Church Confessions, as contrary to this: For those Confessions all profess what I here say: And you may as well tell us of our other Books and Sermons. Our question is not of mens Subjective Religion; For so each person hath one of his own; And it cannot be known but by knowing what is in each mans mind! And our Books and Confessions are (as is aforesaid) but the Expression of our sense of that which is our Regular Objective Religion: And we are ready to confess and amend any misconception: but our Objective Religion which is the Rule and Law of our Faith is only Divine.
III. Our Religion is known, even the Sacred Bible. But yours is unknown: what are approved Councils, and what decrees are intended to be de fide, and what temporal, and what perpetual, and how far the Popes Decretals bind, and whether all Isidore Mercator's Decretals be the Popes, with abundance of the like.
IV. Our Religion is owned by you, and every word confessed to be Divine and Infallible: But your added Popery is disowned by us as sinful, presumptuous and false.
