That Papists are become odious unto us, where as we only reject your Popery, love your Persons, and approve of your Christianity. 2. That Papists brought us the first tidings of the Gospel, which hath been sufficiently before disproved. 3. That Papists hold all things in Religion that they did, and as they did, who first brought us the news of Christianity, which we have also manifested to be otherwise in the signal instance of the opinion of Pope Gregory about your Papal Power and titles. 4. That we have no occasion of exception against Papists, but only their holding the things that those ⟨p. 337⟩did, who first preached the Gospel here; when that is no cause at all of our exceptions, but their multitude of pretended Articles of faith, and idolatrous superstitious practises in worship, superadded by them since that time, are the things they stand charged withal. Now your Consequent being built on all these suppositions, fit to hold a principal place in Lucians vera historia, must needs be irrefragable.
