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. Yea and sum
other ther are / which dare affirme / that the papistes do
differ from vs only in certayn abuses of ceremonies / and not in
the doctrine of faith. But how farr theise men do err from the
truithe / it shall forthwithe appeare. For I will playnly
proue / that the papists are Heretikes / and do mayntayne
Heresie againste certayn principall doctrines of our faithe.

[[The Papistes are heretiques.]]
Furst in the Article of Iustification / the papistes do picke out
vnto themselues this doctrine: That a man is not iustified by
faithe only / but by goode worcks also. which doctrine is
contrary to the holy scriptures. 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.
