Use 1. Let us see the damnable estate of all Antichristian false Teachers, for they that shall not only hold, but thrust on others damnable Doctrines, whereby ⟨p. 178⟩they hasten their own, and others destructions, must needs be in a damnable estate; it is their tenet, that no Church so safe to live and dye in, as their Catholic Church, and their reason is, because among Pagans, and Infidels you shall find nothing but horrible lies,, and blasphemies; and it is true; and among Christians, there is the safest living, for they are confident that salvation is found in their Church, and all out of their Church cannot be saved and therefore it is safest for all to live in their fellowship; but though there may be some that in that Church may be saved, yet whosoever they be that do know the Doctrine of the Church of Rome, and that do believe, and obey, and practise that Doctrine, not one of them, but they have sucked in damnable Heresies, and bring on themselves swift damnation; so that if there be any liars among Turks and Infidels, these Antichristian teachers shall carry away the prize in lying, and those that are saved among them, it is▪ because they secretly renounce their Doctrine. therefore let them not boast of our charity to some amongst them, for none more pernicious and evident Liars than they; therefore let us be dehorted from their Doctrine, and cleave close to the profession of the truth.
