Well, then, here we have, _according_ to _your_ Scriptural Church, a universal apostacy. The true Church decayed, the whole of Christendom drowned in damnable idolatry, and all good religion destroyed _universally_, and _that_, for eight hundred years; and we have also _your_ Scriptural Church either not existing, or buried in this universal spiritual destruction. Really, your Scriptural Church, Sampson-like, not only demolished the _whole_ spiritual fabric of Christendom, but also perished _herself_ under the ruins of this universal spiritual destruction; but the strangest thing of all is, whilst with _one_ hand, she was endeavouring with her spiritual power, to hurl the Catholic Church, into the vortex of this universal spiritual destruction, she, with _the other_ hand, charitably saves _us_ Catholics (as Moses was saved from the waters) from this deluge of universal spiritual idolatry; and I will now show you how; for your Scriptural Church, in her sixth article of the Thirty-nine Articles, teaches that, "Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation." Now, this very Scripture, (the book of salvation,) declares (as I have already shown in my above description of the Catholic Church,) that, the Catholic Church should _never_ err, and of course, could _never_ fall into idolatry. And, therefore, in obedience to your Scriptural Church, and to the Scripture itself, we believe that the Catholic Church, _never_ has fallen, and _never will_ fall into idolatry. For the Scripture says, "Heaven and earth _shall_ pass away, but God's word, _shall not_ pass away." Really, your Scriptural Church, is very kind to us in this respect, and I almost begin to think, she must be a worthy descendant of Pharo's daughter, who saved Moses from the waters of the Nile.
