In all places of the world , where the ancient foundations were retained , and those common principles of faith , upon the profession whereof men have ever beene wont to be admitted , by Baptisme , into the Church of Christ : there we doubt not but our Lord had his subjects , and wee our fellow-servants . keywords: apostle; body; catholick; christ; christians; church; doe; faith; foundation; god; hath; heb; himselfe; iesus; knowledge; lord; man; measure; men; non; people; place; principles; sonne; text; things; unitie; wee; world cache: A68833.xml plain text: A68833.txt item: #25 of 25 id: A70861 author: Ussher, James, 1581-1656. title: Prophecys concerning the return of popery into England, Scotland and Ireland by Arch-bishop Usher, Mr. Herbert, Dr. D.

[et. al.] date: 1682 words: 11008 flesch: 37 summary: If the tossed Romanists run to the spruce and self-conceited Independents for shelter , because these fine new Masters seem to have patents for Christian Liberty , and urge a Magna Charta from Christ , to be accountable to none in matters of Religion , but their own little Congregation , Church , or Body , in which , as in an Ecclesiastick Corporation or free Borough of Religion , they may hang and draw , exercise high and low Justice upon mens souls as they list in their little Conventicles ; yet here the poor Papist finds so much of a rude and exotick novelty , such a grosse shew of Schisme , such variety , such an inconsistency , such a plebeian petulancy , such pitiful and ridiculous affections , and arrogating of Church-power in some of the plebs , and such contempt of it in others , that he cannot think it is other than some pieces of Josephs bloody coat , or some torn limbs of his body . For among these there are a sort of people who affect Supremacy in Church and state too , a spiritual and temporal Dominion , no lesse than doth the Pope of Rome : there among them many petty Popes , who would fain be the great and onely Dictators of Religion , whose opinionative pride and projects are as yet of a lesse volume and blinder print , but they every day mediate and agitate new Editions of their power , and larger additions to their parties and designs ; being as infallible in their own conceits , as imperious in their spirits , and magisterial in their censures , as the proudest Popes of Rome ; not doubting to condemn and excommunicate any private Christians and Ministers , yea whole Christian Churches , yea and the best Reformed in the world ( such as England was ) , if they be not just of their form and fashion , or if they will not patiently submit to their multiform and deformed Reformations , by which they daily with-draw true Reformation to such a small thread , that losing its strength and integrity , it must needs snap in pieces and become uselesse : the strange fires of blind , popular , preposterous and sacrilegious Zeal so over-boyling true Religion and sober Reformation , till they are utterly confounded and quenched with such fordid and shamefull deformities , as must needs follow their Divisions , Distractions and Despiciencies , as to all Church-order , Christian unity and Ministerial authority . keywords: christ; christians; church; england; god; holy; men; order; papists; people; popery; power; reformed; religion; rome; tcp; text; time cache: A70861.xml plain text: A70861.txt
