CHAP. I. COntaining the chief Heads of this whole Controverſie touching the Eaſtern Churches, and their Opinion from the 11th. Century to this preſent. Mr. Arnaud's firſt Artifice laid open 61
CHAP. II. That the temporal ſtate of the Eaſtern People ſince the 11th. Century, and the efforts the Latins have made to communicate to them their Religion, do invalidate the proof which is pretended to be drawn foom their Belief. Mr. Arnaud's ſecond Illuſion detected 73

CHAP. V. That the means the Emiſſaries have uſed for the introducing of the Roman Religion amongſt the Schiſmatics, the Seminaries which have been ſet up for the ſame deſign, and the particular inſtructions given them touching the Doctrin of Tranſubſtantiation, do ſufficiently ſhew that there can no advantage accrue to Mr. Arnaud by their Belief.
