To the most Serene, and Supreme Nursing Mother of the Holy Catholick Church, MARY, by the Grace of God, Queen of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland.

To all Courteous and Nobly-disposed PROTESTANTS.

THE CONTENTS.

Question I. Where was the Protestant Religion Be∣liev'd, and Practis'd, the last five hundred years before Luther.

Question II. If Luther was not the first Teacher, of the Protestant Religion;to whom did he immediately succeed, in the Office of Teaching the same? Where also is treated of the Mission of the Protestant Teachers.

Question III. If the Protestant Religion, be Truly Catholick: When was it spread over the World; and what Heathen Na∣tions hath it Converted to Christ?

Question IV. What likelihood there is, that to bring to pass, and effect, the great and Merciful work, of the Conversion of the Nations of the Earth; and of their Kings, to Christ, God hath never yet made use of the True Religion of Christ and of the Pure Light of his Gospel.

Question V. Whether it be not a very inconsiderate thing, and full of danger, to prefer, in matters of Faith and Religion,the Teaching of Men, before the Word of God?

Question VI. Whether God hath left to Christian People, any sure Rule of Faith, any certain Guide in matters of Reli∣gion; any Infallible Interpreter of his Word?

Question VII. If God hath left no sure, and un-erring Interpreter of his Word, in Matters of Faith; How can it be defended, That the Holy Scriptures are not Unprofitable, and even Pernicious to Mankind?

Question VIII. Whether the State of the Great Family, City Kingdom, Commonwealth, Army of Jesus Christ that is of his Church, do require a Supream Spiritual Head, or no?

Question. IX. Whether the Way to Salvation be narrow, or no?

Question X. How it can be defended, that Jesus was the True Messiah, promis'd in the Old Testament, if the Church, which he Founded, err'd so many Ages, in her Doctrine of Faith.

Question XI. Did the Church of Christ err heretofore, because Christ could not preserve her from erring, or because he would not.

Question XII. If the Church of Christ did Err, for so many Ages; How can it be Defended, that God is Truly good, and doth Truly desire the Salvation of Mankind?

Question XIII. If the Church of Christ did Err, from the True Light of the Gospel for so many Ages; could be find none fit, in so many hundred years, to restore the same, till Luther (falling out with the Pope, and breaking his Vow of Chastity,) began to Teach a New Religion tending to Liberty and Looseness?

Question XIV. Whether God, by Miracles, can draw and incline men to believe a false Religion, or no? Where it is shewed, that God, by Miracles, did draw our Fore-Fathers, at their first Conversion to Christanity, to believe Papistry.

Question XV. Out of which Religion, the Elect of Christ,are to be gathered, at the day of Judgement?

Question XVI. Whether Protestants, or Catholicks do take the surer way to Eternal Happiness? Where it is shewed, That Papistry, by the judgement of all Learned Protestants, is a Saving Religion; and consequent∣ly the securer way.
