1The consent of each part of the doctrine of the Church: For that doctrine which is contrary unto it self, is neither true, nor of God, sith that truth consorteth with truth, and God contradicteth not himself. But the doctrine of the Prophets and Apostles alone except, all other Religions manifoldly jar, discord, and mutinize within themselves, even in their very foundation, and chief points. Wherefore the doctrine of the Church alone is true and divine.

1The confession of very enemies: Because the Devil himself is enforced to cry out, Thou art the Christ the Son of God: and other enemies are constrained to confess, that this our doctrine is true; for whatsoever goodness and truth they have in their Religions, the self-same hath our Religion, and that more clearly and soundly deciphered; and they may easily be convicted to have stolen it from our Religion, and intermingled it with their own forgeries, as indeed it is the custom of the Devil, through Apish imitation of God, to mingle some truth with his manifold falsehoods, that thereby he may the more cunningly and easily deceive men. Whence it ariseth, that these things, which other Sects have agreeable with our doctrine, cannot therefore be refelled, because they have borrowed them of us; but those things which are contrary to our doctrine are at the first on set overthrown, because they are the inventions of men.
