Short, quick defense of the Catholic Church’s position against the Protestant reformers.

A fascinating individual: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_...
He wrote this "Ten Reasons" pamphlet against the validity of the Anglican church and was subsequently discovered, arrested, imprisoned, tortured, hung, and--as if this wasn't enough--drawn and quartered.
The ten reasons he gives are:
1. Sacrae Litterae.
2. Sacrarum Litterarum sententia.
3. Natura Ecclesiae.
4. Concilia.
5. Patres.
6. Firmamenta Patrum.
7. Historia.
8. Paradoxa.
9. Sophismata.
10. Omne genus testium.
His main targets are Luther, Chemnitz, Beza, and Calvin. Luther comes across like an absolute maniac, which is probably not entirely inaccurate.

Although it says it is by St. Campion, there is not actually very much by him. His 10 reasons are short and to the point. The rest was background information and then text in Latin, which this post-Vatican II Catholic could not read sadly. 😟 Still what I could read was good. Perhaps another version might be better.
