A catalogue OF DIVERS VISIBLE PROFESSORS OF the Catholic Faith. Which showeth, that the Roman Church hath been (as the true Church must be) continually Visible, in all Ages since Christ. Taken out of the Appendix to the Reply of A. D. unto M. Ant. Wotton, and M. joh. White Ministers.  Deut. 4. & 32. 
Inquire of ancient times before you: remember the old days of your Forefathers: consider of every age as they have passed: ask your Father and he will tell you: demand of your Ancestors, and they will declare unto you.

TO THE READER.  
GENTLE Reader, This ensuing Catalogue, hath been greatly desired by divers friends to be printed alone, to the end, that when any Adversary of the Roman Church shall demand (as the use of many is to do now adays) a visible succession of Professors of the Catholic Faith, throughout every Age, all agreeing in one, & the self same unity of Faith and Belief, from Christ his time unto ours; thou mayst easily, & without further seeking of other Authors, show the same unto him for his satisfaction in this behalf. And if he cannot show unto thee a like succession of Professors of his Church & Faith (as infallibly he will never be able to do) all agreeing in the profession of one and the same Faith and belief from the beginning; then hast thou good reason not only not to credit, or hearken unto him, or his Church, but unto the Catholic, one of whose special Marks, is this of visible Succession, which of how great importance the same is, and ever hath been in the controversy of Catholic and Protestant belief, I leave to thy prudent Consideration.

AN ADVERTISEMENT concerning the former Catalogue.  
I Would have thee advertised (Gentle Reader) that in this Catalogue, I have set down the Names of all the chief Pastors, as being the principal members of the visible Militant Church, with observation of the year or time, and such order of succession, as I could find in those Authors, which I had at hand.  
Likewise I have set down, the names of some few other Professors, living in, or near those several ages, in which I have placed them: but in this I have not been so curious, either to name all which are known, or which myself know to have been; or to set down any precise year, or orderly succession of their being; but have contented myself to name only a few in every age, and this without specifying the particular year, in which they flourished, or observing any exact order, in which they succeeded one another.  
Thirdly, I have set down some principal councils, or Assemblies of the Pastors, and Doctors of the Church, leaving out many others, which I might have set down. The reason why on the one side, I have set down these particulars, is, that it may evidently appear, that the Catholic Roman Church hath been continually Visible, in every Age, as the true Church must, and aught to be.  
On the other side, the reason why I have omitted so many other particulars, is, partly that I may not be too tedious to my Reader; and partly that I may not seem to exact unreasonable pains to be taken by our Adversaries, when a like Catalogue shall be required of them, of the names of like visible Professors of their Protestant Church & belief throughout every age: which whiles they do not (as indeed they cannot) I may boldly say with old Irenaeus, 
Iren. l. 1. c. 3.   
That by only bringing forth that Tradition and Religion, which the greatest, and most ancient, and to all men manifest, I say, the Church of Rome, founded and erected by the two most glorious Apostles S. Peter & S. Paul, received of them, and by succession of Bishops, hath brought unto our time; we do counfound all those, which howsoever, either by vain pleasing of themselves, or vain glory, or by blindness and perverse judgement, do make erroneous decoctions.  
And this I may the better urge, because (as the same Irenaeus affirmeth)  
there is in the Roman Church a more powerful principality, by reason whereof, it is necessary for every Church, that is, for all Christians throughout the whole world, to have recourse unto it etc.  
If any be desirous to see more of this matter, let him peruse the Reply itself (out of which this Catalogue is taken) and the Treatise of Faith, newly set forth by the same Author.
