3. so they likewise say, Maria consolatio infirmorum, redemptio captiuorum, liberatio damnatorum, salus vniuersorum. [ab]_Giselbertus in lib. altercationis Synagogae et ecclesiae, cap. 20.  Maria quasi maria_, saith Augustinus de Leonissa, sermon 5 vpon Aue maria, for as all riuers come from the seas, and returne to the seas againe, Ecclesiastes 1. 7:  [ac]so forsooth (if you will vndertake to beleeue him) all grace is deriued from Mary, and ought to be returned again to Mary.  We finde so much in [ad]Rosario Mariae, reparatrix & saluatrix desperantis animae, &c.  That which is worse, their owne Pope (who cannot, as they teach, erre in a poynt of doctrine as Pope) calleth her expresly Deam. Pet.  Bembus in his epistles written in Pope Leo 10. name, lib. 8. epist. 17. printed at Strasburg an. 1609. that which is worst of all, in their most approued Bible:  they translate Gen. 3. 15. ipsa conteret caput tuum:  she shall breake thine head, although (as their owne Iesuit [ae]_Ribera_ confesseth honestly) the Hebrew text, the Chaldee paraphrase, the translation of the Septuagint, and all good Latin copies reade ipse conteret, he shall bruise the serpents head, applying it to Christ, according to that of Paul, The God of peace shall tread downe Satan vnder your feete, Rom. 16. 20. by this euidence you may see that the gunpowder crue praise not God in the saints, nor the saints in God:  but on the contrarie the saints as God.

Againe these S. Peter men (and as I haue warrant to terme them on this day Salt Peter men) erre from the true meaning of our text, because they doe not praise God in sanctis eius, in his saints:  but dishonour God in sanctis eorum, in saints of their owne making, vsually praying vnto some who were no men, and to many who were not holy men.  It is doubted by the two great lights in their glorious firmament, Bellarmine and Baronius, whether there were euer any such man as S. George, or such a woman as S. Catharine.  Cardinall Bellarmine lib. de beatitudine sanct. cap. vlt.  Sec.. respondeo sanctorum doth acknowledge that they worship certaine saints whose stories are vncertaine, reputing the legend of S.
