  A caveat for sinners, or, a warning for swearers, blasphemers, and adulterers. Shewing, the vengeance of the almighty, inflicted upon several, whose habital custom to the afore-mentioned and horrid sins, rendred them the objects of God's vvrath; as you may hear by the sequel. Very necessary to be placed up in the houses of every good Christian, that they may avoid the like crimes. Written by that reverend divine, Mr. R.B.

summary:
  Yet this beloved Sin too much is us'd , Man's Soul is wrong'd , and God himself abus'd ; While the poor Sinner little thinks upon The pains that follow , if they will run on Till Judgements overtake , and then too late Perhaps they may repent their wretched State ; And when they 'r overwhelm'd with fear and pain , Of time mispent , perhaps they may complain : Their Consciences in their faces then will flye , Horrour surprize them when they come to dye ; Their Charming Kisses turn to deadly frights , And change to fearful pains , their chief Delights : eng God -- Wrath -- Early works to 1800.

  A discourse concerning zeal against immorality and prophaness deliver'd in two sermons in St. Michaels Church Dublin, October 29, and November 26. 1699.

summary:
  That Sin I say , shou'd surely stir up the Indignation and Zeal of all those who have any Honour , any Love for GOD or Religion to punish , to destroy it ; so effectually to suppress it , that it never may again Triumph in our Streets . Thus for Example : Are we Zealous Ministers of Religion ? Then must our Zeal appear both to GOD and Man in our Publick Preaching and Exemplary Life ; and in our Private Labours and Endeavours to infuse Piety and Zeal into others .

  An antidote against the poysonous vveeds of heretical blasphemies, which during the deplorable interval of church-government have grown up in the reforming Church of England. As it was lately presented to the Church of God at Great Yarmouth. / By Iohn Brinsley, Minister of the Gospel there. Augus. 10. 1650. Imprimatur, Edm. Calamy.

summary:
  Why the manifold transgressions , and mighty sins of the people ; ( so the verse foregoing giveth the reason of it . ) I , though the times should be never so successeful and prosperous in all other respects , yet if sin abound in them , they are evill times : {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , Difficult times , specially for the Ministers of God to bear up head against the stream . And so we may say , There must be Blasphemies , God seeth it expedient to permit them , and that to this end amongst others , that they which are {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , Sincere and constant unto God and his Truth may be made manifest to themselves and others .

  An answer to a printed book, falsely intituled, A blow at the serpent It being truly a blow of the serpent, lately published by one Richard Coppin. Wherein, among many others, these following heresies, and abominable errours of his, are briefly, and plainly confuted out of the word of God. 1 That the deitie of Christ was united to the sinful nature of man, and consequently that his conception was impure. 2 That there is no resurrection of the body. 3 That the pains of Hell are not eternal. 4 That there is no general day of judgement, but such a temporal judgement only as befals men in this world. 5 That God will not destroy any man, but only sin in man. 6 That all shall be saved, the divel not excepted. 7 That the humane nature of Christ is not ascended into Heaven. By Edward Garland M.A. and minister of Gods word at Hartclip [sic] in Kent.

summary:
  Man of the Resurrection of his body , and Christ of his Session at the right hand of God , the greatest dignitie that Humanitie is capable of Ephe. 1. 20. Secondly , Christ was a Saviour as he was both God and man : If he had been sinful himself , he could not have saved others ; but should have stood in need of a Saviour himself ; therefore the humane nature of Christ was not polluted with Original sin , but was sanctified .

  The VViltshire rant; or A narrative wherein the most unparallel'd prophane actings, counterfeit repentings, and evil speakings of Thomas Webbe late pretended minister of Langley Buriall, are discovered; the particulars whereof are set down in the following page. Also the proceedings of those in authority against him. With a catalogue of his untruths in his Masse of malice, and replies to sundry of them. by Edw. Stokes Esq;

summary:
  For the first that ever manifested those principles publiquely to M. Stokes , was the said W. L. and F. B. Whereupon the said parties were received with greater love amongst the fellow-creatures at Langley , and the said W. L. entertained , and who but he with the Parson and his , &c. And so they continue great friends for a good space ; but when the differences first arose between Webbe and his Mistress , this Lewis and his wife assist Mistress W. and chargeth the Parson , as you may see formerly expressed ; wherefore the Parson resolves to call them to an accompt for taking parties with the weaker vessell against the mighty male Ranter . Yet M. Stokes confesseth that about four years since he heard the said Parson preach in the Parish Church of Largley a very unprofitable Sermon , without any life , power , or appearance of the spirit of God , shewing the Auditory how much and how often they should eat and drink ; when he ought rather to shew that that which enters into the body defileth not , but that from the heart proceeds murthers , adulteries and the like , and to have indeavoured to have made clean the inside of the cup and platter , for till the heart be cleansed and purified through the presence of the Spirit of Christ , there can be no Christian watchfulnesse , nor imitation of a divine life : These with all observations of meats and drinks perish with the using , and are bodily exercises which profit little ; and this way of preaching by Tho. Webb was friendly reproved by M. Stokes , who then seemed to take it well , and a little after confest to M. Stokes that he had not the assistance of the Spirit of God in his preaching , as formerly , but now this reproof is become a crime to make up the Masse of Malice .

  A blow at the serpent; or a gentle answer from Madiston prison to appease wrath advancing it self against truth and peace at Rochester. Together with the work of four daies disputes, in the Cathedral of Rochester, in the Countie of Kent, betweene several ministers, and Richard Coppin, preacher there, to whom very many people frequentlie came to hear, and much rejoyced at the way of truth and peace he preached, at the same whereof the ministers in those parts began to ring in their pulpits, saying, this man blasphemeth, ... Whereupon arose the disputes, at which were some magistrates, some officers, and souldiers, peaceable and well-minded, and very many people from all parts adjacent, before whom the truth was confirm'd and maintained. The whole matter written by the hearers, on both sides. Published for the confirmation and comfort of all such as receive the truth in the love of it. By Richard Coppin, now in Maidston Prison for the witness of Jesus. Twenty five articles since brought against him by the ministers, as blasphemie, and his answers to them, how he was

summary:
  If any sin of man should hinder mans salvation by Christ , then that sin would appear to be too strong for Christ to conquer , and then no man could be saved , for there is no sin but every man is guiltie of , for all have sinned , and all are guiltie ; but this I say with the Prophet Elihu , that his bad works may hurt a man as he is , and his good works may profit men , but shall no way profit the salvation of his soul : But because good works are good to men , therefore would I have all men observe and do them , doing unto others , as they would others should do to them , which is the sum of the whole Law , for he that loveth God , will also love his Brother . Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies , thy right hand shall finde out those that hate thee ; thou shalt make them as a fiery Oven in the time of thine anger , the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath , and the fire shall devoure them : There is no man so wicked , nor so righteous in himself , but the Lord will find him out , and will make him as an Oven , in which he will kindle his fire ; to burn up the briers and thorns , to wit , mans sins and iniquities which man is full of , and against which the fire of his anger is revealed , that he may devoure them , but not man , for all mans works shall be burnt , and he himself shall be saved , so as by fire , as it is written , Jacob have I loved , and Esau have I hated , though they tumbled both in one bellie , Jacob is the good , even the spirit ; Esau is the evil , even the flesh , and everie one hath this Jacob and Esau within them for a time ; but Esau which is flesh , shall be burnt by Jacob which is the spirit , the flesh shall be destroyed , but the spirit saved , and so saith the Lord , the house of Jacob shall be a fire , and the house of Esau shall be for stubble , and they shall kindle in them , and devoure them , and there shall be nothing left of the house of Esau , for the Lord hath spoken it , and anger is not in me , saith the Lord , against the persons of men , but if they set briers and thorns in my way against me , I will pass through them , and burn them up , by this shall the iniquitie of Jacob be purged , and this shall be the fruit thereof , to take away their sins , that the Lord may dwell therein , and saith the Prophet , I saw the Lord upon his Throne high , and lifted up , and his Train fill'd the Temple , and behold an Angel came with a live coal in his hand , which he had from the Altar , and he laid it on my mouth , and said , Loe this hath touched thy lips , and thine iniquitie is taken away , and thy sin is purged ; so God is said to sit in his Temple man-like , a Refiner of silver , to purge away the dross and tyn , and to destroy all together for ever .
