THE PREFACE.

The Points of Doctrine here Examined.

An Answer to Mr. Spencers Book INTITULED, SCRIPTURE MISTAKEN By the Protestants.

CHAP. I. The first Point. Of the Worship of Saints and Angels.

The first place of Scripture. Matth. 4.10. Thou shalt worship, the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

CHAP. II. Of Prayer and Invocation.

CHAP. III. Of Images.

The second protestant position (saith he) is, That no Image ought to be worshipped. The Scriptures are Levit. 26.1. Exod. 20.4, 5.

CHAP. IV. Of Justification by Works.

CHAP. V. Of the Merit of good works.

The first place he sets down, as alledged by us is. Rom. 8.18. The sufferings of t his present time, are not worthy to be compared with the glory.

The next place is Luc. 17.10. When ye have done all— say, Ʋnprofi∣table servants, we have done that which was our duty.

The next place is, Rom. 6.23. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.

Another place is Eph. 2.8, 9. Saved by Grace not by works, least any should boast.

CHAP. VI. Purgatory.

The first place is Revel. 14. Blessed are the Dead, who dy in the Lord— that they may rest from their labours, and their works follow them, or follow with them.

The next place is, 2 Cor. 5.1. For we know that if the earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

The next place is Wisd. 3.1. The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God and no torment shall touch them.
