Infidelity is of two forts : i of pure Negation ; fact: in Pagans and Turkes to whom God neuer yet vouchfafed the word or meanes of faith. 2 of euill difpofîtion, when the price is put into the hands of fooles to get k owledge, but they haue no heart : the doelrine of faith vouchfafed, but credence denied vnto it.
