How exceeding filthy, when the most potent, and yet the most sordid Whores did Rule at Rome? by whose pleasure Sees were changed, Bishops were given, and which is a thing horrid to be heard, and not to be spoken, their Lovers (or Mates) were thrust into Peter's Chair, being false Popes, who are not to be written in the Catalogue of the Roman Popes, but only for the marking out of such times: And what kind of Cardinals, Priests and Deacons think you we must imagine these Monsters did choose, when nothing is so rooted in Nature, as for every thing to beget his like?] 1. Is not here a Succession fit to prove ⟨p. 45⟩the Church of Rome to be the true Church? O happy Succession! 2. And is it impossible that such Men as these should err? and such Bishops, Priests, and Deacons should change one word that was delivered orally from their Fathers? Is not here a sure Foundation for a Man to build his Faith and Salvation on?

Genebrard another furious Papist (li. 4. Sect. 10.) saith [In this one thing this Age was unhappy, that for near an hundred and fifty Years, about fifty Popes did wholly fall away from the virtue of their Ancestors, being rather irregular and Apostatical, than Apostolical.] Apostates make an Apostolical Succession of Infallible wicked Men. Reader, did not our Rational Discourser wisely choose the ninth and tenth Ages for his ground-work? These are the very Ages whose Testimony he appealeth to.
