  Jesu-vvorship confuted, or, Certain arguments against bowing at the name Jesus proving it to be idolatrous and superstitious and so utterly unlawful : with objections to the contrary fully answered / by H.B.

summary:
  That the first is true , to wit , that the worshipping of the name JESUS painted on a Wall is idolatry , no good and sound Protestant will deny , for , there is this same reason thereof , as of all other Image-worship , names being a kind of the things they represent or intend . The reason of this act is taken from the practice of the IESU-Worshippers , who never use any adoration or signe of reverence when JEHOVAH is named , but only when JESUS is named they give both outward and inward adoration to the name JESUS , but not to the name JEHOVAH :

  A most godly sermon preached at St. Albons in Woodstreet on Sunday last being the 10 of October, 1641 : shewing the necessity of selfe-denyall and humiliation by prayer and fasting before the Lord in regard of the present plague we now lye under : which God in his good time remove from amongst us / by ... Henry Burton.

summary:
  Vse 1. To condemn all Popish Charity , and many which they call good works , instead of denying themselvs in those works , they deny Christ ; for in those works , they say they deserve the Kingdome of Heaven . Vse 2. To condemn another sort of carnall profane men that build their salvation on common duties , works of morality ; who say that they doe all men right ( though perhaps they are compelled so to doe ) this overthrowes the Doctrine of Christ , this is not to deny themselves , but to deny Christ .

  A full and satisfactorie ansvvere to the Arch-bishop of Canterbvries speech, or, Funerall sermon preached by himselfe on the Tower-hill, on Friday the tenth of Ianuary, 1645, upon Hebr. 12. 1, 2 at which time he was there and then beheaded wherein is a full and plenary discourse to satisfie all those who have been startled with his suttle and Jesuiticall falacies and evasions in the said speech : and other passages and observations of great consequence, to satisfie the expectation of the Kingdome therein.

summary:
  Good people , This is a very uncomfortable place to preach in , and yet I shall begin with a Text of Scripture , in the twelfth of the Hebrewes , Hebrewes . 12.1 , 2. Let us runne with patience that race that is set before us , looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith , who for the joy that was ser before him , endured the Crosse , despising the shame , and is set downe at the aight hand of the Throne of God . And yet speakes of a place of Scripture you see ▪ that no Text in all the whole Bible ( had hee had grace ) could have come neerer to his conscience , for persecuting , imprisoning , whipping , pillering , and drawing the blood of the saints of God , in that Tyrannicall manner whiche he hath done .

summary:
  The Imposition therefore of a Liturgie upon the Conscience devised by men , and pretended for the worship and service of God , yea and the onely divine publike worship of his Church , is a maine branch of Popery , as being the Character of Antichrist or Antichristianisme , which is the very with Popery ; Popery & Antichriāisme being convertible termes . Thus it is as plaine , as brief , that the imposing of a Liturgie of mans devising upon the Conscience is the pretended Service of God ( though indeed it is rather the service of many , * and which God condemneth as a a vaine worship of him ) is a maine branch of Popery .

  Englands bondage and hope of deliverance a sermon preached before the honourable House of Parliament at St. Margarets in Westminster / by Mr. Henry Burton ... Iune 20, 1641.

summary:
  The Church of God is the spouse of Christ , the spouse of Christ must not put on a Babilonish garment , lest she be taken for a whore , it is a shame for a spouse , to be in a whores garment ; she must be ruled by her husband ; and therefore we must not goe about to paint the service of God with our colours , nor with the colour of our devotion ; ye fairest face by nature if painted , the beauty will be quickly eaten out , the painting , decking , adorning , & colouring ye complexion of the service of God , with mans devises ; it disfigures the faire , and beautifull face of Gods service , and makes it seeme like a hag in the eyes of God , and indeed there is nothing did destroy religion more then when men began to set up service of God , of their owne devising ; Thus did the Popes from time to time from age to age , bring in that masse of Superstition and Idolatrous service ; So that it is rather the service of man , or rather the service of the divell , now you must know beloved , that Jesus Christ , thtt is our Lawgiver , that is our Prophet , he knew what was to be done in matters of worship , who is the onely King over our Consciences ▪ as well as our high Priest to sacrifice for us , and to make attonement for us , we must hearken unto him , for he hath done all exactly , he hath beene as exact a Lawgiver in the new Testament as in the old , will you aske then what service he hath left , he hath taught us to pray in the Church of God , to preach the word of God , he hath taught us to expound the Scripture to old men and yong , and for to spend their time in the Church of God , he taught Ministers , not onely to Preach , but also to pray ; we must give our selves to prayer , and the word , that is prayer , and Preaching . Secondly of the Love of Jesus Christ , the sonne of God , though hee was sent of the Father , yet it was his owne good will that he gave his life for the Church , shed his blood for it , when hee put our humaine nature upon him , that he might learne to have compassion on our infirmities , and out of that compassion save us , yea there was so much of that Philanthropos , love of man in Christ , that hee wept over the Jewes , because of the hardnesse of their hearts , because they would not give eare to his word , nor believe in him , hee wept for the destruction comming upon them .

  The grand impostor vnmasked, or, A detection of the notorious hypocrisie and desperate impiety of the late Archbishop, so styled, of Canterbury cunningly couched in that written copy which he read on the scaffold at his execution, Ian. 10, 1644, alias called by the publisher, his funerall sermon / by Henry Burton.

summary:
  This is that Peace and Truth , which you contend for ; for the procuring and meeting whereof , all trueth shall be corrupted , and peace perturbed , not only in the Churches but in Civill States and Kingdo●●s , when for the maintenance of your Truth & Peace , Princes shall be set against their People , and People forced to stand for their Liberties against Prelatticall ●surpation , and Tyrannicall Invasion ▪ But I conclude ; if such was his deplored condition then , as to ly naked to such language ; how is the measure thereof now filled up , in an obstinate out-facing & maintaining all his wickednesses , perpetrated since that , till now , and th●t before the high bar of the Kinhdome , the very Tribunall of God , and at last upon the very Scaffold , powring out his blood in a most obdurate , desperate , and finall impenitency ? O that this might be an example to all that tread in his steps . 2. For the Kings happinesse : when yf either he counselled the King to all those courses , so destructive both to himselfe and kingdome ; or yf hee by obeying the Kings command , in being an active instrument of all those cruell oppressions perpetrated by him , upon the innocent subjects , and exorbitant , illegall , violent , tyrannicall invasions upon the just lawes of the kingdome , and naturall liberties of the subiect , be thus by the lawes of the kingdome , and a due proceeding therein , brought to this just penall death : surely , this can little make for the Kings happinesse ; unl●sse the cutting off of such limbes as these , and so of this active instrument of mischiefe in patticula● , may be a meanes to procure the Kings happinesse , in case such Heads so cut off , prove not the heads of the Roman Hydra ▪ which upon the cutting off of one head , puts forth two , untill the whole Lerna-Lake shall be quite drained and dried up ; otherwise , he , whose life hath but a little advanced the Kings happin●sse , can give but little hope of raising it by such a death , the just reward of a traitour .

summary:
  THese prisoners having this liberty granted them just the day before the hearing , Master Prynne thereupon repaired with his answer ( formerly drawne up and engrossed by Master Holt ) to Master Tomlins another of his counsell , newly returned out of the Country the evening before ; and having got him to signe this engrossed answer , he goeth therewith to Master Holt , desiring him likewise to subscribe it according to promise ; who refused to doe it now as hee had done before , protesting , that he durst not for an 100 peeces signe it , because he had received an expresse command to the contrary . THis petition being reade in open Court the 12. of May ; the Court commanded Master Holt , one of Master Prynnes counsel forth with to repaire to him to the Tower to take instructions for his answer ; and in the afternoone the Lieutenant of the Tower , was sent for by the Prelates instigation , and checked by the Lords for suffering Master Prynne to dictate such a petition , and one Gardiner , ( a Clerke belonging to the Tower , who writ it from his mouth by the Lieutenants license ) was for this capitall offence by a warrant from the Arch-Bishop , and others , the same evening apprehended by a Pursevant , and kept prisoner by him some 14 dayes , and not released , till he had put in bond to appeare before the Lords when ever he should be called ; after which he was hunted after by the Archbishops pursevants out of the high Commission : Who upon the reading of this petition , and Doctor Bastwicks , made a motion in Court of purpose to prejudge the cause before it came to hearing , tending highly to affront his Majesties prerogative , and thereupon procured this forejudging order , wherein his insolent motion is recited .

  Conformitie's deformity. In a dialogue between conformity, and conscience. Wherein the main head of all the controversies in these times, concerning church-government, is asserted and maintained; as without which, all reformation is headlesse, and all reconciliation hopelesse. Dedicated by Henry Burton, to the honour of Jesus Christ, as the first-fruits of his late recovery from death to life; as a testimony of his humble and thankfull acknowledgement of so great a mercy: and published for the service of all those, that love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity ...

summary:
  And this thou shalt do , if ( I say not , if thou dost shake off the fear and favour of men , the love of the world , of honours , pleasures , riches , preferments , ambition of greatnesse , of domination over Gods people , Nor if thou castest out that old spirit of bondage under the Prelates , lest it turn into a more dangerous tyrannie , then that of the Prelacie , as being more refined , and going under the plausible name of Reformation : Nor do I say , if thou becommest a self denying man , taking up thy crosse daily to follow Christ : without all which notwithstanding , thou canst not be his true disciple & follower , or enjoy true fellowship with him . ) And therefore ( Conformity ) now that you are about the setting forth of your Confession of Faith , let not this one Article be missing : That you do believe , confesse , and professe before all the world , that JESVS CHRIST is the sole King and Law-giver to every particular visible Church of his , and over every particular mans conscience : So as no Power on earth may usurp authority , upon what pretence soever , to make and impose what laws they please to bind the Conscience , or to regulate the Churches of God ; but ought to leave both Conscience and Churches to the only rule , and law of Christ , the Scripture , to which alone every mans conscience must be consined , all Divine worship in all things conformed , and all Church-Government reduced .

  An answer to Mr. William Prynn's twelve questions concerning church government at the end whereof, are mentioned severall grosse absurdities, and dangerous consequences of highest nature, which do necessarily follow the tenets of Presbyteriall, or any other besides a perfect independent government : together with certaine qveries.

summary:
  Judg. 17. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , and 18 , 19 , 20. Is it not to be feared that men cry out for a subordination of Churches or Presbyteries to inlarge their owne jurisdiction ? and will not the same mercuriall spirits at times and opportunities refine the businesse , and discover when a Papall plenipotentia may best conduce to unity , and that with good reason too according to their carnall principles ? for why should not a Monarchicall Government be as lawfull in Church as Commonwealth , if the insinuated argument in your seventh Question be good , it should be necessary so far forth , as many judicious Writers hold a Monarchicall Government to be most exquisite and perfect for every Civill State ? Whether would it not be an ungodly course for any people to hazard any thing at the disposall of others , or to be carried by most voices , which may possibly , if not more then probably he decided in such a mannee as the yeelding obedience thereunto would be burthensome to their consciences , if not absolutely sinfull ? Whether were it not an ungodly course for the whole Commons of a Kingdoms , so farre differing in Religion as that they professe before hand that they dare not yeeld to one another upon perill of damnation , to make choice of a Parliament and Synod , with entring into Vow and Covenant to become afterwards all of that Religion whatsoever the Parliament and Synod should agree on ? whether it be not absurd for men to say they will be of such a Religion as shall be setled , before they se● evidence to convince them ? and whether it be in the power of man to be really of what Religion he will , untill he see reason and demonstration for it ?

  A divine tragedie lately acted, or A collection of sundry memorable examples of Gods judgements upon Sabbath-breakers, and other like libertines, in their unlawfull sports, happening within the realme of England, in the compass only of two yeares last past, since the booke was published worthy to be knowne and considered of all men, especially such, who are guilty of the sinne or arch-patrons thereof.

summary:
  I shall therefore confine my selfe only to such domesticke examples , as have fallen out in sundry corners of this our Realme within these two yeares , of purpose to refute the * madnesse of those Prophets , who in the Presse and Pulpit ; and the profanes of those people , who in their dauncing-greenes , and may-pole arbors , have bene so audacious , as to affirme , the Profanation of the Lords day by Maygames , Daunces , May-poles , Wakes , and common Labour out of time of divine Service , ( especially after evening Prayer ) to be no sin at all against the 4. Commandement , or any other Law of God or man ; but c necessary and commendable point of true Christian Liberty ( they should have sayd of carnall and heathenish licentiousnesse rather ) from which the people must not be debarred ; But let these blinde guides , and libertines learne from these examples , to correct this their erronious judgment , and practise ; for feare the Lord make them the next examples in this kinde , to teach others to keepe his Sabbaths better , and more intirely for the future . THese Examples of Gods judgements hereunder set downe , have fallen out within the space of lesse then two yeares last past , even since the Declaration for sports ( tolerated on the Lords day ) was published , and read by many Ministers in their congregations ; for hereupon ill disposed people ( being as dry fewell , to which fire being put , quickly flameth forth ; or as waters , pent up and restrained being let loose , breake forth more furiously ) were so incouraged , if not inraged , as taking liberty dispensed , thereby so provoked God , that his wrath in sundry places , hath broken out to the destruction of many , would to God to the instruction of any .

summary:
  On the contrary ▪ is not the present deiection ●nd affliction , yea in a manner the deplored , and ( if 〈◊〉 apprehension may be iudge ) desperate condition of Christs 〈◊〉 afflicted f●llow●rs , a good signe , 〈◊〉 deliverance is not farre off ▪ What say you to the state of Israell in Aegypt , and that even then , when Moses was sent to fetch them out by ● strong hand ( as now in this V●●l God is abou● to delive● his people from the Beasts ) when now ( vpon Moses hi● coming ) they began to be in worse case , and harder bondage , then ever before , their Taskmasters are more severe and strict , then ever ; the poore caitiffes must make good their intollerable taske , and daily tale of bricke , and yet now they are denied straw , which formerly was allowed them ; they are now ( poore soules ) scattered over all Aegypt , to goe scrape vp stubble in stead of straw . Although perhaps , 〈◊〉 great many will not belieue this , at least such as 〈◊〉 , and will not 〈◊〉 ▪ but willingly winke , for feare they ( should be eye witnesses of their owne wofull wr●ck and other● , which on 〈…〉 cowardise hath prouided 〈◊〉 when was there ever a greater , and more generall confidence of these Froggs , then now ?

  A censure of simonie, or a most important case of conscience concerning simonie briefly discussed not altogether perhaps vnparallell for the meridian of these times. By H. Burton rector of little Saint-Matthewes in Friday-street London.

summary:
  Pronunciat enim Episcopus huiusmodi ad p●pulum , dic●●s : Pax vobis ▪ Oculis quidem carnalibus videtur quasi Episcopus magnus , & diuin●s obt●tibus , inspicitur lepresus magnus . And if hee that offends one soule , had better haue a mill-stone hanged about his necke , and be drowned in the bottom of the Sea : then he that shall scandalize so many Soules , and whole Cities , and People , Men , Women , Children , Citizens , Countr●men , his neighbours , and others further off , which are vnder his charge , what shall he suffer ?
