The Rescuing of the Romish Fox, Articles – Errata
Twelue new erronius articles of Steuengardinars crede taght in hys boke called the examination of the hunter.
1 The cerimonies & traditions whiche the buſſhop of rome hath ordined / and ar now allowed in England ar the pale of the chirche of Englond.
2 The popis cerimonies and traditions / ar good and polytique lawes / Wherbi god hath Encloſed the kyngs ſubiects vnderunder his mageſti alone.
3 As king Richard an euel mā made a good politique law for the body & cōmon welth of Englōd / ſo can the pope an euel mā mak good lawes & holſum doctrine for mans ſowl & Chriſtes churche.
4 What ſo euer is good ſpoken and vſed by man is miche mor of god / then Chriſts doctrine is hys fathers doctrine.
5 He that ſayeth that the lawe of the goſpel ought only to be holden in Chriſts churche and is ſufficient alon for it / ſpekith ſo far out of reaſon that he is not worthy to be reaſoned with all.
6 Thei that hold that the croſſ of ſiluer or gold oght not to be worſhipped with kiſſing of it & bowing & kneling to it / ar ennimies of Chriſts trew croſe & tak away the means that might ſet owt the glori of Chriſtis croſe.
7 Nether Paul nor the croſe can be worſhipped with godly honor.
8 As Chriſt vſed clai for an inſtrumēt to heal the blindmans eyis withal and hath ſaued diuerſe bi faith & made it an inſtrument of ſaluation / & as god hath ordined Timothe to be an inſtrument of ſaluation both to hymſelf & for other / ſo may the pope orden halli water to be an inſtrument of ſaluation both of body and ſoule to al them that ar ſprinkled with it.
9 No man can commit idolatrie with hys bodi alon & in only kiſſing of an image or idole / and in only kneling to it can no idolatrie be committed.
10 For as moche as god vnderſtandeth thē that ſing in Latin / thogh they vnſterſtand not themſelues ther praer is acceptable be for god.
11 As a father may forbid certane of his childer to mari ſo may a king in his kingdome forbid certane of hys ſubiects to mary / that is to ſay all the preſtes of his realme.
12 He that wold take a way the popis ceremonies owt of the chirche / ſhuld driue away all godlines / and ſemlines / al religius and denowt behauiour owt of the chyrche.
