not only as duty of our office, but also by |
express command of the holy Father. in the |
name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal
Shepherd OF your souls, do we exhort |
you to beware of false prophets who
come to you in sleeps clothing, bot
In "ardfy are ravening wolves. What, in
effect, save mask of hypocrisy is that
specious name Evangelical, which the
Protestant teachers give to them selves
and to their conventicles And what, but
