A Table of the Chapters.

The Preface.

ERRATA.

To the most vertuous Lady, MARY de LANOU, wife to the Marshall of THEMINIS.

The Editions of such Authours as are cited in this Apologie of Mons^r. DAILLE, and in another English Tract of his, entituled, The use of the Fathers in controversies be∣tween Papists and Protestants.

CHAP. I. The Occasion and importance of this Treatise.

CHAP. II. The necessity of an union of Believers.

CHAP. III. That it is sometimes lawfull to separate from a Company of men professing Christianitie.

CHAP. IV. That our Separation from Rome was not made rashly, willingly, or unnecessarily.

CHAP. V. Reasons of our Separation from Rome found∣ed upon the diversitie of our Beliefs.

CHAP. VI. That our Separation ariseth not from particu∣lar matters of fact or private opinion, but from such things as are believed generally by all the Romane Church, and so that it is not like to the schisme of the Donatists.

CHAP. VII. That there are two sorts of Errours; the one overthrowing the foundation of faith, and obliging men to separate, and the other not. That the opinions of the Church of Rome which we reject are of the first sort, and those of the Lutherans of the second.

CHAP. VIII. That the adoration of the Eucharist, as it is practised by the Church of Rome, doth (as we believe) overthrow the foundation of pietie and salvation.

CHAP. IX. That the opinion of the Lutherans which we bear withall, doth not bring with it the ado∣ration of the Eucharist, either de jure, or de facto.

CHAP. X. That the dignitie and excellency of the Eu∣charist, doth not hinder it from being a grievous and deadly offense to adore it, if it be bread in substance as we believe.

CHAP. XI. That the opinion which those of the Romane Church have touching the Eucharist, ex∣cuseth not such as adore it.

CHAP. XII. The errour of those, who think they may give to the Host of the Church of Rome that reve∣rence which she commands, without adoring.

CHAP. XIII. That he, who believeth the Eucharist to be bread in substance, cannot give it the reverence which is practised in the Church of Rome, withoul evident falshood, hypocrisie, and perfidiousnesse.

CHAP. XIV. That every man who exerciseth the ceremonies and services, which the Church of Rome renders to the Host, declareth thereby that he adoreth it, and taketh it for his true and eter∣nall God.

CHAP. XV. An answer to the example of Naaman the Sy∣rian, objected by some.

CHAP. XVI. That to think it is lawfull for a man to exercise the ceremonies of a Religion, which he be∣lieveth not, doth by consequence diminish the glory of, and cast a blur on, the Martyrs.

CHAP. XVII. That this dissembling is condemned by our Lord in the Scriptures.

CHAP. XVIII. That this dissembling, grievously offendeth God, and scandalizeth men.

CHAP. XIX. That there are many other beliefs in the Church of Rome, which overthrow the foundations of our faith and salvation, as the Veneration of images, the Supremacie of the Pope, &c.

CHAP. XX. A conclusion of this Treatise. That They, who are of our perswasion, are obliged to forsake the communion of Rome; and, They who are not, are to prove and trie their own faith, be∣fore they condemne our separation from them.
