Response aux cinq premieres et principales demandes de F. Jean Hay, moine jesuite, aux ministres escossois

your right to show that it is heretical, and not for us to show that it is not.
What, then, can one do with you? But what? Here is an offer that we make to you: combat our confessions, we will defend them. If not, do what you have not yet done: that is to say, draw up a Papal confession, and we will combat it point by point with the true weapons of Christians, which are the holy Scriptures, trusting in him who has promised to abolish his adversary by the spirit of his mouth.

II. Demand.

Let them tell me if the Gospel of Jesus Christ was ever preached in the Kingdom of Scotland before the time of Paul Methuen, and of Master John Knox, or not. And if their Ancestors, *who were not of the Calvinist religion, are perpetually in the fire of hell.
†These two have been the first Calvinist abusers of Scotland, of whom Methuen was a baker, and Knox, an apostate priest, and in the end a necromancer.

* Calvin, in sermon 7 on the 1st to Timothy, says that those even who know the Gospel think that all those who err through simplicity are good people, and that there is no malice or venom in them: and that they themselves speak of their superstitions of the past time mockingly: then he adds that this is very far from groaning: seeing that Saint Paul declares to us that these are enormous and inexcusable offenses before God. From which it follows that his followers are damned.
