ROME'S ORDERS NOT VALID

IN

ENGLAND'S CHURCH;

THE PRACTICAL RECOGNITION OF THEM SHOWN TO BE
UNSCRIPTURAL, UNREASONABLE, AND CIVILLY AND
ECCLESIASTICALLY UNLAWFUL.

BY LEX ANGLICANA.

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."—
1 John iv. 1.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"-Matthew vii. 15, 16.
"This is the mystery of the Man of Sin. This maze the
Church of Rome doth cause her followers to tread, when they ask
her the way to Justification. I cannot now stay to unrip this build-
ing, and sift it piece by piece; only I will pass it by in few words, that
that may befall Babylon in the presence of that which God hath builded,
as happened unto Dagon before the Ark."-Hooker. Discourse on Justi-
fication.
