3.]] Theyr belly / is their god. Augustine hath also this diuision. [[Quest. in Matth. quest. 11.]] Euell catholiques are they / which do lyue otherwise then they saie that they do beleaue. Schismatiques are they / which for diuersitie in opinion do diuide and separat the church / for +schizein+, is to deuide. Heretikes are they / which perseuere / and continue in that schisme. [[Lib. 2. contra Cresco. cap. 7.]] But in an other place he saith. That Heresie / doth differ from schisme. For a Schisme / is a stryfe which risith vppon diuersitie of sentences. Neither can a dyuiding or a schisme be / onles they which do make it do thinke and holde contrarie thinges. But Heresie is / an inueterat schisme. [[1. Cor. 11.]] Saint Paule obseruith no such diuersitie / for he vsith theise too wordes for one thinge. Nowe that ye se what Heresie is / consider well wether that the papistes be heretikes / or no? They themselues do stoutly saye that they be none.

Paule teachith thus. [[Rom. 3.]] We holde that a man is Iustified by faithe / without the deedes of the Lawe. Agayn he saith. [[Gal. 2.]] We do knowe that a man is not Iustified by the deedes of the lawe / but by the faithe of Iesu Christe. And Peter / whom Paule did then withstond / did not speake agaynst this doctrine. Of the Iues / also he writith thus. [[Rom. 10.]] For being ignorant of Gods righteousnes / and goinge about to establishe their own righteousnes / they were not obedient to the righteousnes of God. In which place he settith theise two righteousnesses / the one / against the other / the righteousnes of faith / against the righteousnes of worckes / so that the one excludith the other. The same thinge he doth where speaking of Iustification he saith. [[Rom. 11.]] If it be of gra
