A man might have been saved before, that had believed, that [Liberty from necessity is not necessary to Merit] with the rest of them, but now all of that belief must be damned. And was not the Pope unmerciful to the poor Dominicans, to send them all to Hell, that cannot change their belief, knowing how hard it is for a learned Tribe, especially so countenanced by Augustine, and Thomas, to alter their minds unfeignedly at a word. And yet in the Trent Confession they must all solemnly swear and vow that all things delivered, defined, and declared, by the sacred Canons and Ecumenical Councils, especially that of Trent, they do without doubting receive and profess: though no man had ever heard the Popes Reasons, yet if he do but see the Determination of their Church, he must presently not only believe the contrary to what he believed before, but do it also without doubting; though they'll confess millions are saved that believe Christ to be the Son of God, though ⟨p. 140⟩not without doubting. Well: but see what unity is procured by the addition of these new Articles to their Creed? The French Doctors ascribe to his holiness that the said Articles may be taken in several senses: The one sense is Heretical, Lutheran or Calvinian, but that is a sense, That the words lawfully used will not hear, but only may malignantly be fastened to them (say they) The other sense (which is genuine and proper) they Defend themselves, as true, and as pertaining to the Belief of the Church, as the Doctrine of Augustine, and as defined by the Council of Trent, and the contrary Opinion of Molina and the adversaries others maintain to be Pelagian or Semipelagian. See here what the Papists themselves now do implicitly charge upon the Pope; That he (by his express unlimited condemnation) doth malignantly fasten an Heretical sense on the words, which properly they will not bear, or else that he contradicteth Augustine and the Council of Trent, and Anathematizeth the Christian faith, and maintaineth the Semipelagian Heresy of Molina. And yet must we judge either their Pope to be infallible; or their Church to be at such unity in faith as they would make the ignorant vulgar believe? More of the like contention about his holiness Determinations you may see in Tho. Whites Appendicula ad sonum Buccinae, and Franscus Macedo his Lituus Lusitanus:
