But , if we measure the true being of a visible Church , by the direct maintenance of fundamentall principles , though by consequences indirectly overturned , and by the possession of the word of God , and his Sacraments , though not without soule adulteration ; what judicious Christian can but , with mee , subscribe to learned Zanchius , that the Church of Rome hath yet the true visibilitie of a Church of Christ : what should I need to press the latitude , and multiplicity of sense of the word , Church ; there is no one term that I know , in all use of speech , so various ; If , in a large sense , it be taken to comprehend the society of all that professe Christian Religion , through the whole world , howsoever impured , who can denie this title to the Roman ?

- summary: 2. The first , that there must needes be some Catalogue or Canon of the sacred Bookes aswell of the old as of the new Testament , the which all Christians with an assured faith should imbrace as a most certaine and an vndoubted truth , and this is a very necessary point of faith , yea of it dependeth the authority of all the bookes of holy Scripture , because by this Canon the sacred and true books of Scriptures are discerned and made knowne from all those which be Apochriphall ; especially because aswell in times past as in these our daies there hath byn so many , and so great Controuersyes about the Canonicall and Apochriphall bookes of Scripture ; and such a Canon was altogeather necessary aswell in the auncient Church before Christ , as in our present Church after Christes tyme ; the which also our Aduersaries themselues haue learned by experience . But there is one thing I cannot let passe , because therby we clearly conuince that the Traditions of the Church do not only contayne vnwritten points of fayth , but ( that which is more ) euen in our Aduersaries iudgment they change and abolish such things as are expresly commaunded in Scriptures : for euen in the Table of the Law of God , which is sayd to be written by Gods owne hand , in many and manyfest words the keeping of the Sabboth day is comaunded , the which notwithstanding , now all , except a few Anabaptists , do confesse to be abrogated by Ecclesiasticall Tradition only , without any expresse testimony of Scripture .

For which cause , I have in these straits of time , thought it one part of my duty which I owe unto Christ , and to his Church , to propound , and briefly to resolve ( as God hath enabled me ) some important Cases of Conscience , which ( hoping they may conduce to the furthering of the great businesse now in agitation concerning Religion ) I have adventured most humbly to recommend unto the serious consideration of this most just , sage and grave Senate , as to which not only I , but all the people of the Land doe owe our best service , and for whose happy successe of all their grave Counsels , we are all bound daily , and that in a more than ordinary manner to solicite ( as we still doe ) the throne of Grace , that the Spirit of Christ may be abundantly poured forth upon this most Noble Assembly , in all wisdome , and understanding , and in all judgement , zeale , courage , constancy , unity , unamity in the love of the Truth , that such a perfect Reformation may be wrought as Christ at this time calleth for , as his word appointeth , as all Gods people every where thirst after , and as the whole Antichristian faction is afraid of , that so , when Christ alone shall be set upon his Throne over our soules , to rule us according to his word , and to dwell among us by his Spirit , the Kings throne may be for ever established in justice and judgement , and Gods people in this Land may enjoy both inward and outward peace unto the day of Christ , and so our posterity after us may blesse God , and for ever call this Parliament , The blessed Parliament .

- summary: But the Catholicke faith doth so say that the Word of God was made Man , that hee tooke vpon him our nature and properties , not deceitfully , and in shew , but truly , and liuely : and that he did not resemble those things , which belong to the nature of man , as not his owne , but that hee did sustaine them rather , as being his owne : and that hee was altogether also the very thing , which hee did resemble . So then , if we will not giue eare vnto Man , but vnto God , if we will not trust vnto our owne wings , but seeke for aide of him , we may boldly expect assistance of him according to his word .

- summary: To confirme this point , no man can be ignorant , if euer he read the Romane Histories ; but that , before the Incarnation of Christ , there was not so much as one King , Consull , Dictator , or Romane Emperour , instructed in the Law of God , but all were Idolaters and Infidels , obseruing the Religion of that Magician , Numa Pompilius . If Iesus Christ said by his Apostles , that we are the Temples of God , in which the holy Ghost inhabits ; must wee therefore imagine , that we are transubstantiated into a masse of stone ? If the holy Apostle writ , that Iesus Christ is the Rocke , out of whom came liuing water , to wash and purge vs from our sinnes : Must we wrest out of this a transmutation , and transubstantiation of Iesus Christ into a Rocke , or a materiall stone ? If the holy Apostle testifieth , that we are the bodie of Christ : may wee by this inferre , that we are translated , and now no more men , but transubstantiated into an accident without substance ? I readily foresee , O you obdurate Missalians , that you will obiect all these pre-alleadged places : wherein this word est , is , and make no mention of the Sacraments , which must the more exactly bee obserued , in that these be sacred mysteries ordained of God : which is most true .

It is not a matter of small consequence to them which oppose names to things , and triumph in the naked sounds of Church and Catholike , whether you apparell the sense in any other furniture of Language then this : they cannot reply as a Demosthenes did to Aeschines , whē being vpbrayded with the improper vse of a word , hee answered , that the fortunes of Greece consisted not therein ; No , in hoc sit a sum fortunae Romae , in these Sillables the fortunes of Rome are entrench'd ; not the seuen Hils whereon shee is seated , not her extended Wals whose auncient Tracts are almost en●omb'd with Age , not her Castle of Saint Angelo are halfe so relied vpon by her , as this single Article ; For why ? Shee hopes , the Church will serue her for a Cittadle or Towre of defence , Holynesse will colour her title , and Catholicke will from all quarters furnish her with a voluminous Armie of ancient and experienced souldiers .

This therfore is to be held vndoubtedly for Vniuersall & Catholike , which the most eminent of the Fathers , that liued in the time of the foure first Councells , haue taught in diuers Countreys , and different parts of the world , and which none of the rest haue impugned or noted , as disagreing from the doctrine of the Church ; or which the Fathers of these Councells haue witnessed , to haue bene belieued and practised by the whole Church in their ages : and that shall vndoubtedly remayne as ancient and Apostolike , which the Fathers of those ages haue testified to haue bene obserued by the whole Church , not as a thing newly begun in their time , but descended to them by continuall and immemorable succession from former ages , or from the expresse Tradition of the Apostles .

The most of your further dealing with the Prelatick Protestant , is to tell him that his Ritual Principles lead him to turn Papist , or else he cannot answer the Puritan : I take not my self any further fit to interpose herein , than to tell you , that in all things truly Indifferent , there is a just middle between any mistaken Scruplers that hold them sinful , and a Papist that maketh them a part of his Christianity or Religion , and will not be of the same Religion and Church with those that be not of his mind , nor will willingly suffer them to preach or live .

- summary: For Jesus Christ going to Worship at Hierusalem , the Samaritans , who were of another Religion , refusing to receive him in his Journey , two of his Disciples , James and John presently took Fire , and out of a well-meaning Zeal for their Master , and of the true God , and of Hierusalem the true place of Worship , asked leave to dispatch out of the way these Enemies of God and Christ , and the true Religion . What can then the Church of Rome plead for her Persecution to Men for the cause of Religion , which James and John might not much better have pleaded for themselves against the Samaritans ? Does she practice these Severities out of a Zeal for the Honour of God , of Christ , and the true Religion ? Upon these very Accounts it was that James and John would have called for Fire from Heaven to have destroyed the Samaritans .

- summary: As for that common evasion , applyed to Christ as he is God , and as he is man , it is contrary both to reason and Scripture , to limitate by so great a disparity , as Hos. 11. 9. for I am God and not man , Isa. 31. 3. 40. 17. implying contradiction , as he is , and as he is not , and is but a presumptuous begging of that which is in question , and if it be illogicall to limitate by a superiour , or subordinate ( as the Pope errs , not as he is Pope , but as he is man ) it is much more absurd to limitate by a disparate , and that of infinite disparity , to omit that Luke 2. 40. this I say to the shame of such as shut their eyes against the most illustrious and authenticall testimonies of all or the most memorable and approved times , places , and persons ; hardly to be brought that ever they had greater grand Fathers , &c. not allowing any more of authentick and classick testimonies , then the most vain and improbable traditions amongst men ; nor to beleeve the Histories of Moses , Christ , &c. because they had not the happy houre of St. Thomas , or others to be seeing , and sensible witnesses , as Iohn 20. 27. 1 Iohn 1. 1. The Lord God of his most gracious goodnesse grant , that the more able and ingenuous , like true and trusty souldiers of Jesus Christ , whose eyes the God of this world hath not blinded ; would do their utmost endevour to reduce the rest from that long captivity of our spirituall Babylon , under that Man of sin ; and that God would prosper their endevours that are studious of the sincere Truth ; and strive for the same to death , as the son of Syrach , 4. 28 ; and defend justice for their life , to the exaltation of their Nation , as Prov. 14. 34 ; that releeve the oppressed , &c. as Isa. 1. 7 ; that so wee may enjoy the good things of the Land .

- summary: That honor we render them in the act of Sacrifice consists in mentioning their names , as of the faithfull seruants of God , in the prayers we addresse to him , thankes-giuings , and prayses for the victories they haue obteyned , and in humbly mouing his condescending in our fauor by their Intercessions , S. Augustin hath declared 1200 years past that none ought to conceiue the Sacrifice as offered to the holy Martyrs , although by the custome in practise euen in those tymes vniuersally by the Church , the Sacrifice was offered vpon their holy bodies , & vnto their memories , that is to be vnderstood , before the places wherein their pretious Reliques were conserued ; and the same father sayth further , that commemoration was made of the Martyrs at the holy table at the celebration of the Sacrifice , not intending to pray for them as we doe for other dead , but rather in order to their praying for vs. I alledge the perswasion of this holy Bishop by reason the Councel of Trent vseth almost the same words to instruct the faithfull , that the Church offers not the Sacrifice vnto the Saints , but to God alone , who hath crown'd them : and that the Priest doth not adresse himself to S. Peter or S. Paul saying : I OFFER VNTO YOV THIS SACRIFICE , but praysing God for their victories , he implores their assistance , to the end that they , whose Commemoration we celebrate vpon Earth , may be moued to pray for vs in Heauen . Whereby the same Church professeth , that all the merit of the Redemption of mankind is annexed to the Death of the son̄e of God ; & certainly by all that hath bin already said , it ought to haue bin vnderstood , that when we say to God in the celebration of the divine Mysteries , We offer you this holy host , we doe not pretend by this oblation to make , or present to God a new payement of the price of our Saluation , but to employ towards him the merits of IESVS CHRIST there present , and the infinite price he hath at once pay'd for our Redemption vpon the Crosse.

- summary: When they accuse them for those Corruptions of Divine Worship , they did not consider the softning Excuses of more refined Men , so much as the Acts that were done , which to be sure do always carry the stupid vulgar to the grossest degrees of Idolatry ; and therefore every step towards it is so severely forbid by God , since upon one step made in the publick Worship , the People are sure to make a great many more in their Notions of things , therefore if we should accuse the Church of Rome for all the Excesses of the past Ages , or of the more ignorant Notions in the present Age , such as Spain and Portugal , even this might be in some degree well grounded , because the publick and authoris'd Offices and Practices of that Church has given the rise to all those Disorders ; and even in this we should but copy after the Fathers , who always represent the Pagan Idolatry ; not as Cicero or Plutarch had done it , but according to the grossest Notions and Practices of the vulgar . so that tho the worshipping the Host of Heaven , or the worshipping an Image as a Resemblance of the Divinity , may be acknowledged to be the highest degrees of Idolatry , yet many other Corruptions in the Worship of God are justly reducible to it , and may be termed not only idolatrous , but Idolatry it self .

FOrasmuch as there is in the world a great controversie among people concerning the Worship of God , one crying , This is the right Worshp : Another , That is the right Worship ; and People in these Nations are divided about the Worship of God , and divers one from another in their performances and practices of Worship , one sort worshipping after this manner , another after that , and there is great strife through the whole Nation about this matter , and a great dis-satisfaction among people , which is the right Worship , and who are the right Worshippers , and thousands are desiring after the right Worship of God , and to become Worshippers of him as he requires : Therefore now it is upon me to shew unto all the World what the true Worship of God is in it self , and who are his true Worshippers . But however though something there may be altered , and changed , and converted to another use , and something taken away , and other inventions brought in , instead thereof , yet still they are the same Houses which you worship your God in , which Houses were set up by the Authority of the Pope , and there remains yet the Popes sign and symptome of the Romish Church upon them ; and these Houses you call your Churches , and thousand of thousands of blind ignorant people esteeming and respecting in their minds of these places more then of any other , supposing them to be more holy and that other places are not so good to worship in ; alas poor , blind , ignorant people , that deceives your own souls in the traditions & inventions of man , which you live in the practise of , supposing it to be the very Worship of God , which is no other in it self but Idolatry , and you Idolaters ; for doth not all unconverted people , and unrighteous people , such who are not taught of the Lord , nor led by his Spirit , but daylie rushes into iniquity , and into evil , are not such found Worshippers here in Steeplehouses , conforming themselves to these things , and these practises ? And can such worship God ? Or is God worshipped by such ? I tell you nay , the Lord God is pure , and they that worship him , must be sanctified , and led by his Spirit which leadeth into all truth :

- summary: 4. What is that death that hath passed over all , and reigned from Adam to Moses ? and whether it doth not reign yet in and over you ? and what is Moses Ministration , and whi●her ever through it you yet truly came ? and whether that part be subdu●d in you which the Law of God was added upon , and whether are you come to Christ , and knowes him as he was before Abraham , and before Mary ? and how was he Davids Lord ? and how his Son ? and is Christ within you born , and reve●led to you , by whom the world was made ? and do you expect to be perfectly freed from sin that ye shall not commit sin in this life upon earth , yea , or nay ? 5. What is the soul , and what was its state , and condition before transgression ? and what is its state , and condition in trnasgression , and whether may man come to be restored by the second Adam into the same estate , while upon earth , as he lost in the first Adam yea , or nay ? FRiends , We the Servants of the Lord , are lovers of all your souls , and wisheth well unto you in the Lord , that truth and peace , and righteousnesse may be among you , and in your hearts ; and we are travellers in the labour of the Gospel of Christ Jesus for the elect Seeds sake , having received the glad tidings of life , and eternal salvation into our hearts , through the revelation of Christ in us , who is our hope of glory , and the Lord hath manifested greatly his power amongst us , and revealed the riches of his grace in our souls , to our own everlasting satisfaction & peace with God ; and also he hath made us Ministers of his grace , and of his word to many others , to the turning of many from darknesse to light , and from Satans power to God , and of him we are called and ordained by his spirit into this his work to preach the everlasting Gospel to the Nations , and to war against Anti-Christ , the Whore and false Prophets , come up since the days of the Apostles , & have reigned over the World for many generations ; and this is our work in the World , to fight the Lambs battel with his spiritual weapons and armour , and to follow him whithersoever he goeth , and to give up our selves in his service , to do or suffer for him whatsoever he calleth us unto ; and in this hitherto hath the pure and mighty presence of the Lord God been with us , and is with us unto this day ; and great is his Name amongst us his people , and to be praised for ever more ; and of this hath God given us the sure witnesse in our selves , even the testimony of his good spirit , which bears us witnesse in our own consciences , that these things are true , whether men believe or re●ect our testimony ; for we are not Ministers of man , nor by mans will , neither do we stand to mans judgement , to be approved or disproved thereby ; But to the witnesse and testimony of Gods spirit in every conscience we do commend our selves , where ever any of us do come , in the simplicity of truth , in the demonstration of the spirit , and not by words of mans wisdom , and in the day of the Lord shall we be justified herein by him , and by his witnesse in all mens consciences ; & in the mean time we do suffer all things patiently , and in the meek & quiet Spirit of the Lord ; and as for us two in particular who are now come into the Town of Dunkirk , as we have in some part declared unto you already ; and so I here again say unto you , not being ashamed nor unwilling to give you an account of our coming ; for we came to be made manifest openly in the sight of all men in our doctrines , principles and practises which are of and from the Lord , and fully agreeing in all things with the Scriptures of truth , which were given forth by the spirit of truth as the holy men of God were moved , and as we have said to you , we still testifie , we were moved of God , and by his spirit to come unto this place in love to the souls of people , and it is the Lord God that hath sent us , and not man ; and whether you believe us herein , or doth reject us , the testimony of God is sure , and remains with us ; and for the truth hereof , we are not affraid to do and suffer , but can do , and suffer in the strength of Christ whatsoever is put upon us ; Though chiefly our coming was ( so far as the Lord shewed us ) in relation to these Popish Idolaters , to discourse with their Iesuites , Friars and Priests , and to discover to them the errors of their wayes , and the falsnesse of their worships , and to testifie unto them in the fear and power of the Lord concerning their Church , that it is not a true Church of Christ , but a false Church come up in the Apostacy ; and these things we have to argue with them , if the heads of them will admit dispute ; otherwise to charge these things upon them from the Lord , and by his authority ; and if they do any of them receive our testimony , and turn from their idols , and be converted unto the truth , they may be happy ; but if they shall reject our testimony , and not believe the truth , then shall they the more be fitted for destruction , and the day of their destruction the sooner approach , and the Lord shall be clear of their blood , and our reward shall be with us from God ; for our testimony shall not returne to us in vaine , but shall accomplish its end wherefore it is sent , and the Word of the Lord by us shall either convert to God , and to the truth that they may be saved , or shall through rejecting of it , harden the heart against God and against the truth , that they may the more justly be condemned , and the Lord and his servants be the more clear ; and no other thing saving this do we promise to our selves as the success of our endeavours : And not so much in relation to the men of our English Nation are we come , though the Gospel of Salvation is freely come to them also , that they may be freed from the Captivity of sin and death , and we may not work , nor cause any disturbance or grief to any of them , further then what they may take at us for the truth sake , or for declaring it in the fear of God , and without any just cause given by us to any of you , or them , though we dare not promise to you , nor our selves , what we will do , nor what we will not do ; onely this we say , if the transgression of any just Law can be charged upon us , we refuse not to suffer what shall be imposed ; and this we do beleeve that the Lord will so keep us , and order us by his spirit of truth , and carry us in meekness , and righteousness towards you , while we stay amongst you , be it weeks , or moneths , that you will have no just occasion against us , by any offences justly Ministred by us ; and if you do take occasion against us without any just cause given , be it upon your selves , to your own shame , and condemnation in the sight of God and men , for we are cleare ; Onely this we do give unto the Lord , and cannot unto men , the exercise of our consciences , and to be obedient unto the teachings of his spirit in all things , as he shall guide and lead us , and if he commands to do , or not to do any thing , and you the contrary , we must obey him , though we disobey you ; for its better to obey God then man , and when he bids speak , in what place or season soever we may not be silent ; for to keep our consciences cleare in the sight of God in all things by obedience to him is our care , and study , and that which we are given up to do ; and if you set your selves to gain-say this , it will turne to your own destruction ; for no other promise then this can we make for our selves , but to do , and speak amongst you , as the Lord our God shall move us , and lead us , and this Testemony we do bear for the Lord , he doth not move us , nor lead us to any thing , saving to what is just , and good , and holy , which may tend to the happiness , and peace , and welfare of your souls and bodies also : and in the Fathers will we stand , and as we came in his will , so we cannot submit to stay or go at any mans will save the Lords alone : And as concerning our coming and staying , and work here , this is a sober account to you , which may satisfie you and any sober and reasonable men ; And as conscerning our being with you yesternight , many things passed from some of you and your Minister chiefly , to which I had a great desire to have answered , and to have cleared the things objected against us , but time and his patience afforded not the opportunity ; therefore now this I do propo●nd about the call to the Ministry , which was the thing in dispute , to which I then could freely have spoken ; whether he will give me and us a faire meeting in some publique place that is convenient for your selves to hear , and be Judge between us , to discourse this matter ( viz. ) what the true call to the Ministry is , which is truly according to the Scripture , and that to be laid down first , and then to compare his call to his Ministry , and also his call to Dunkirk , with what the true call is which is allowed of , and aproved in the Scriptures , and also to compare our call to the Ministry , and even our call to Dunkirk , with what the true call of Christs Ministry was , as declared in the Scriptures , that it may be seen whether his call , or our call is the more different from , or agreeable to the Scriptures , and even the light in your own consciences shall be Judge between us in this cause ▪ and upon such an Issue , upon a just determination would we gladly joyne tryal ; and such a meeting upon such grounds and proceedings may tend to satisfie your selves , and many more , and such a meeting I do fully desire with your consent , and concurrance who may preserve the people in peace and soberness , that all may be edified in the things of so great moment as this is ; For if he can prove his call to the Ministry to be such as was the Apostles and Ministers in the true Christian Churches before the apostacy , then shall we own him , and not deny him ; but if he cannot do this , and if we can do it on our own behalfe , in the power and spirit of the Lord , then may you and all men judge who are the true Ministers of Christ , and who are the deceivers ; And this manner of proceedings would decide all doubts in you , about us ; and we shall be clear in manifesting the truth concerning the true Ministry and the false , and the difference between them in their call , in their practice , and in their maintenance ; and this is sent to you to read and consider of , in the fear of God , as the testimony of our love to you , and the truth , that you may take heed to your waies ; and we would receive first your answer , whether you do consent , and will allow such a meeting , and secondly his answer whether he will undertake such a dispute , and we further are ready to clear all doubts that may remain in you about us , who are your friends , and desire your prosperity and faithfulnesse in what the Lord calls you unto .

And if the Church in the Apostles Time had not believ'd with Us , that there is no Substance of Bread remaining in the Eucharist , St. Justin Martyr would not have written , that this Sacrament , after the words of Consecration are pronounc'd , Is the Flesh and Blood of that Incarnate Jesus ; but that after the Consecration , that Flesh and that Blood are added to the Eucharistical Bread and Wine : Nor yet would St. Cyril of Hierusalem have us'd these words , This which We see , is not Bread , though the taste thinks it to be Bread ; but 't is the Body of CHRIST ;

- summary: Why therefore should our Age be thought destitute of Miracles ? What use was there then for them , which may not happen now ? What Scripture , what word of GOD banishes from us these VVorks of the Almighty ? If thou have regard to those frequent , and , as I may say , daily Miracles , by which the Church was in her beginning asserted , they were already , as St. Augustin confesses , ceas'd in his time ; but as for such , as are more seldom , though no less certain , neither was that Age , nor is ours , without them . It has ever from the most Antient Times , been the Custom of the Orthodox Church , to request of the Blessed Spirits , the Holy Martyrs , and all others , whom the Majesty of Miracles manifested to be in the Fruition of GOD and Heavenly Joyes , that they would Pray for us to our Lord.

- summary: I saw A MAN , in more than Kingly State , And thousands , did his dread Command await , Yet did his grifly Face , his panting Breath , His failing Limbs , bewray th'approach of Death : But soon I found , that he was vile and proud , He rais'd his Eyes , and spake odd Words aloud Of BULLS , and BRIEVES , and CANONS , and CROISADES And whispered some Tales of WHORES and BAUDES , And Stories , which imported nothing less Than that He was grow'n old in Wickedness : I ask't , What wretch was that who passed by ? And presently they made a dreadfull Cry , And said , I did blaspheme , And spoke prophanly of an Heavenly Name , Since Divine Honours were his rightfull Claim . To them some HELL-HOUNDS did succeed , Their eyes were sunk , their hands were red , Their words were dreadfull , threats were loud , Their looks were grim , they breathed blood , I saw them bring forth from dark Shopes , Wheels and Racks , and Cords , and Ropes , They gathered fewell , kindled fire , And fastned stakes , I did enquire What all these dreadfull things did mean ? More dreadfull then mine eyes had ever seen : They told me , these were persons , whose great zeall Did alwayes levell to the Churches weall , And that these Tools , whose sight did shake mine heart , Were instruments , by which they did convert Men to the Faith :

If there can be no Authority in a Church , without Inf●llibility ; or there can be no obligation to submit to Authority , without , it , then the Church of England doth not use the best Arguments against Sectaries , But if there be no ground for Infallibility , if the Church which hath most pretended to it , hath been most grosly deceived , if the Heads of that Church have been not barely suspected of Heresie , but one of them stands condemned for it in Three General Councils , own'd by that Church ; then for all that I can see , the Church of England hath wisely disowned the pretence of Infallibility , and made use of the best Arguments against Sectaries from a just Authority , and the sinfulness and folly of the Sectaries refusing to submit to it .

Neither is the Bishop or Church of Rome , with the Adherents of it , an infallible Judge thereof ; for it is evident , both he and it have erred herein divers times ; which I have evinced already by divers examples , which I will not repeat ; but add to them one confessed by Mr. Lewgar himself in his discourse upon the Article of the Catholick Church , pag. 84. S. Athanasius being excommunicated ( though by the a whole Church )

- summary: AT Antioch , in which the noble Sirname of Christian was first assumed , did the Doctors , Eminent Divines , Prophets and renowned Preachers flourish : Of this sort God beheld posterity , the Scribes and Magi , the Learned in the Kingdom of God , searching out things new and old ; prophesying of Christ and Moses , what a heinous thing it is to hiss at such good men , and maliciously extol evil ? my adversaries hissed , why so ? because they have exploded a Learned Scribe . If they Quote the Gospel , we appeal to it ; the words with us are , This is my Body , this is my Blood , which expression seem'd so prevalent with Luther , that he desired to be a Zuinglian , because in that point he could be prejudicial to the Pope , yet being taken and bound , in the conclusion did yield , and acknowledged Christ to be really present in the Holy Sacrament , not less against his will , than the Devils heretofore being overcome with Miracles , called upon the Name of God.

- summary: Will any Presbyterian , or Independent , or Anabaptist make that Declaration ? he well knows they neither can nor will whilst they retain the principles of their parties , and they cease to be of either party assoon as they make that declaration ; he confesses that the Doctor hath subscribed , and submitted to , and practises all that Church requires of him , and hath farther unprovoked given this ample testimony to it , that he was not obliged to do , and which no man can give , that is divided in his affections , and equally inclined to another Church that differs from it ; and yet he is so jealous of the honour and security of the Church of England , that Church that he hath Apostatized from , that Church that he hath traduced and reviled with all the scurrility of Language , of this Church in which he will not permit a possibility of Salvation ; he is so careful , that he will not allow the Doctor to be a member of it , but advises like a loving Father , the drowzy and sleeping Prelates , to be watchful over him as a spy and treacherous person , who whilst he perswades them ( poor simple creatures ) that he will be a champion for their Church , endeavours all he can to destroy and undermine it . That that Church is the Church of Rome where there constantly resides a Supreme Magistrate , who , in case any new opinions shall start up to the prejudic of Religion , which have not been enough convinced by former definitions of the Church hath full authority committed to him by our Saviour to declare and determine what is agreeable or contrary to the sence of the Scripture , since it cannot be supposed that our Saviour would constitute an officer , and not indue him with all necessary faculties , or not qualifie him sufficiently for the discharge of so great a trust ; and from hence they resolve , that the greatest danger of damnation is not from the commission of those sins against which the spirit of God hath so plainly denounced it , but in an obstinate presumption in contradicting the opinions or directions of the Catholick Church , and refusing to submit to the authority of the Vicar of Christ , who hath the unquestionable power to bind and to loose , to pardon and to condemn sins , having the Keys of Heaven , and of Hell ; and therefore whilst they will depend upon him , and put themselves under his protection , they cannot but be safe .

- summary: And what man of sense will give so much as a common Historical Credit , much less admit that as an Article of Faith , which has no better Foundation than what is bottom'd on counterfeit Authors ? Especially since it is not pretended to be attested by any that were Eye-Witnesses , or that liv'd for a considerable time after ; nor is it credible that so wonderful and publick a Miracle , if truly transacted at Rome , should have escaped the notice and mention of some of those Roman Historians who have so exactly given us the Memoirs of that curious and very Learned Age. 2. This Tale does not quadrate or hang well together ; for Platina , as 't is plain by his Words , makes this Exploit done at Peter's first coming to Rome ; for as he assigns one main part of his Errand in going thither , to be for obviating the mischiefs of that Impostor ; so by his Relation the matter seems to have been quickly determined after Peter's arrival ; and he expresly says Simon Magus dyed of that fall , non ita multo post , not long after : Now they say Peter went to Rome in the second Year of Claudius , Anno Chr. 43. and so in that or the next Year Magus must be defeated . But if it were on the 29th of June , it must be either in his 13th or some other foregoing Year , which is contrary to the whole stream of your Evidence , or else after Nero's Death , which likewise will utterly marr the credit of the whole story ; for no man ever talk'd of Peter's being at Rome , but he also affirm'd that he suffer'd there under Nero. 3.

By being charitable to all , I cannot deserve evill of any ; and I hope no national Church so ill but may deserve my charity : the first sally of my pen intended nothing beside an Apologeticall Epistle , and by an autops●e , or self-unravelling to satifie my self ; and a Romanist of him , of whom he had talk'd much , and knew little ( proposing neither order , or method , it being my Province to unravel the mysteries of riddling nature , rather then the disguises of Antick Polemicks , but my glib penne found it easier to ingage then to retreat , and while the multitude of my own thoughts oppress'd me , the fear of my own disability would not suffer me to betray the succours which reason offer'd , even the whole militant Church , lending the weapons of Antagonists , and offering the Canons of the Church against them ; which I shall bring in with the flag of defiance to no Christian Communion : neitheir make use of the forces to gratifie any faction , for all carry the Angels motro , glory be to God on high , and goodwil towards men .

Well , for your satisfaction I will undertake to prove , that S. Peter was the Chief of the Apostles ; and that Christ gave him the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven , and built his Church on him as on a Rock ; and that the Bishop of Rome is S. Peters Successor , and Head of that Church which Christ promised to lead into all truth ; and then you must confess the Roman Church to be that Catholic Church which is mentioned in the Creeds .

And further it appears from the same words , that the expression of Christ and the Apostle , is to be understood in a Sacramental and mystick sense ; and that no gross and carnal presence of body and bloud can be maintained by them . 3. We believe a Presence and Union of Christ with our soul and body , which we know not how to call better than Sacramental , that is , effected by eating ; that while we eat and drink the consecrated Bread and Wine , we eat and drink therewithal the Body and Bloud of Christ , not in a corporal manner , but some other way , incomprehensible , known only to God , which we call spiritual ; for if with St. Bernard and the Fathers a man goes no further , we do not find fault with a general explication of the manner , but with the presumption and self-conceitedness of those who boldly and curiously inquire what is a spiritual presence , as presuming that they can understand the manner of acting of Gods holy Spirit .

Gregory w●ites concerning S. Benedict● upon the credit of four Witnesses , were not fit to be believed , little prejudice will arrive to the Catholick Cause , or advantage to yours , till the Doctor can rationally assure men , that all is false whatsoever all other holy Fathers , and particularly S. Augustin testifies concerning a world of Miracles , many of which he had seen with his own eyes , and others he had received by the Testimony o● many Witnesses living in the place where such Miracles were done , evidently prove , that the Veneration which Catholicks allow to the Relicks of Saints is acceptable to God. Yet withal , that sharpness of stile● and even bitter Invectives , both against Persons , Tenents , and Practices , may in some cases , be made use of , without prejudice to Charity ; yea , that Charity it self o●t requires them , we must likewise acknowledge : especially when those who are enemies to Truth , or Piety , are high in popular esteem for zeal , and learning ( as the Pharisees were among the Iews ) and thereby give credit , and authority to errors , and suggestions of cruelty .

- summary: Again though it were true , that the English Clergy have received their Ordinations from the Roman Catholic Church , yet sure I am , that Church never released them from their Canonical subjection to their Superiors , particularly to their Patriarch and Supream Pastor of Gods Church : She never gave them power to change the order of administring Sacraments ; to reverse Ordinances of Superior Councils ; to expel Catholic Bishops from their Sees , meerly because they were Catholics ; In a word , she never gave them authority to alter , or rather destroy , the whole Religion , in a manner , professed in England since they were first Christians . Tenenda est nobis Christiana Religio — ) Christian Religion is to be held by us , and the Communion of that Church which is Catholic , and is named Catholic , not only by her children , but also even by her enemies .

The Case then being thus , let 's consider what a deluge of Uncleanness may be pour'd out upon this Nation by 1000 or 2000 , supposing there were no more of those Popish Ecclesiasticks in England at a time ; especially since they look upon it to be their Interest to debauch the Nation , as one of the best Expedients to advance Popery , as was evident from the practice of the late Reigns : and therefore it seems to be the natural way of obviating the growth of Popery , to make the Romish Ecclesiasticks uncapable of promoting it by that Method which they like best , and find most successful .

- summary: Yea , we have seen how the World and worldly Church , not being able to try the Spirits and Doctrines , have contradicted and crucified the Son of God himself , and have reproached and persecuted all his People , who are baptized into one Spirit with him ; and doing this , they have thought they have done God good service too ; and all because they were not able to judge of the Spirit and Truth of Christ in Himself and his Members , but have followed the Judgment and Councel of the chief Guides in the outward Church , who have caused them to erre , and to mistake Truth for Error , and Error for Truth , Christ for Antichrist , and Antichrist for Christ. And thus you may perceive that seeing many false Prophets are gone out into the World , it concerns the faithful , as they tender their own everlasting Salvation , not to believe every Spirit that speaks of Christ , and his Kingdom , and his Things , but to Try the Spirits whether they be of God. Object .

- summary: In answer , If there be any doctrine that plucks down God and sets up man in his stead , it is mans assumed authority to make laws and impose them upon the people , which is not to be found in the records of God ; and two of these strings you have to your bow , which if once they were broken , man would be more thrown down , and God exalted , namely forced maintenance of your bellies , which cannot be had without an arbitrary power , by which you contend to dethrone God and his appearance in his people , as it appears by your appealations to humane authority , to set up your selves more then the Kingly power of Christ . Truly ( my Lord ) the deep sense hereof , makes our hearts to bleed , to see the precious Scriptures so abused , Fundamentals destroyed , and our poor peoples souls , whom we have long laboured to principle in the Truth , so much endangered : We humbly conceive , that as Popery was heretofore , so Arminianisme and Socinianisme now , doubtless are like to be the plagues of this poor Nation ; even that cursed Doctrine , that so much pulls down God , and sets up man , comes upon us like a flood .

Do not they tell us again and again , that both the Canon and the Sense of SCRIPTURE , depend , as to us , on the Authority and Interpretation of their Church ? And can its Testimony then possibly amount to any more than that Church's bare Word ? Do not they deny us a Iudgment of Discretion , whereby we should discern for ourselves , whether it speak fór or against their Church's Authority ? And will they yet produce it to convince us of the Authority by which alone we are both to receive and understand it ?

and in the Revelations it is declared that all the world went after them who had the lying signes , wonders and the miracles and deceived them that dwelt upon the earth , and that has been the worship of the beast , and this has been since the dayes of the Apostles , who said some should depart from the faith which is the shield , and so made war against the Saints which was in the faith and over-came them ; but now the Devill shall be taken , and with him the beast and the false Prophets , and cast alive into the lake of fire , and Babylon the great whore confounded , and the Lamb and the Saints shall have the victory ; and the everlasting Gospel shall be preached to them that dwell upon the face of the earth , which is the power of God , and strike down all those that has got the words but not the power , and reach to the life and immortality , that that may come to light through the Gospel which is the power of God , and to you that is the word of God . 11. and so are not built upon the true foundation of the Prophets and Apostles and Christ Jesus , ) who being past feeling , who are gone after the vanities of your own minds like Gentiles into Idols , Ephes. 5.4 . who are the injurious Persons , as Paul was in his first estate , before conversion , when he persecuted , who never after conversion did persecute , for then he came into the life and substance of what he professed in words before , and so your fruits do shew your Church to be made up of injurious Persons , persecuting like Saul , not converted , and yet you he doting about Law and Gosple which you do not know what you affirm and speak of ; so your Church many of them through Philosophie , and rudements below are held up by the Commandments and doctrines of men , and feigned and voluntary humility which is your own , and usurped authority Jezabel-like , so hath forsaken the command of the Lord Jesus Christ and the true Church , who said keep from Idols , you have made Idols and Images that can neither hear , nor see , nor go , so your Church is to be confounded , which trusteth in Idols and Images , so not in the true Church of God , and your Church is made up of them that kill the Lord Jesus Christ , and kill the Prophets , and kills the Saints , and so fills up the wrath to the utmost which is to come upon you , and your Church is made up of such who for the love of money hath erred from the faith , and are covetous , and will sell Pardons for money ; your Church is made up of such who be given to blaspheme , and so hath lost the godliness in which the Saints increase ; but you have cankered the People with your images and pictures & idols of things below , so out of the sober state , in the malice , hatefull , out of the fruits of the true Church , but made up of such which Peter speakes of to be in Corahs , Cains , Balaams way ; so your fruits declares , and thus you are contrary to Christ and the Apostles , and true Church separated from them , and such as the Apostle declares against hath made up your Church .

- summary: So the English Church , as corrupted with Romish Errours , must needs be so before it could be Protestant or Reformed ; but the Catholick Truths it alwaies held made it a Christian Church , even under that mixture of Errours : so when by Reformation it had cast them off , it remained the same Christian Church : but a more pure and sound one , holding still the same Catholick Truths , without that mixture of Errour , like as the ancient Christian Church did , before Popery prevailed , as Tr. 1. c. 1. But every true English Protestant acknowledges the Church of Christ is a visible society of Believers , or of Professors of the Christian Faith , ( of whom some are effectually called , true and lively members , but that is invisible , others not yet advanced beyond the externall calling or profession ) a society , I say , of such Professors , under such a Regiment or Government left by Christ and his Apostles : and left to this purpose , to keep all in unity , and to advance those , that are admitted in the visible Church to the meanes of Salvation , unto a reall and effectuall participation of Grace and Union with Christ , as lively Members of his body , Eph. c. 4. 11 12 , 13. 16.

And it is the Doctrine and Belief of the Clergy-Men , before mentioned , and the People that are their Hearers , and Members of their Churches , That none can be set free from Sin , nor be made perfect from it in this Life ; and so they preach against Perfection from Sin , which God and Christ commanded that People should be perfect and holy ; and are God and Christ such hard Masters as to command that of People for them to do , which cannot be done nor attained unto in this Life ?

- summary: And what have we done , that we must not be counted a Catholick Church ? Is it because we will not receive things which the Church of Rome hath since added to the Catholick Faith ? Is it because we will not admit of the Doctrines which that Church was first induced to believe by the Darkness and Ignorance of the Ages it lived in , and at last loath to part withal for fear they should be thought to have been so long in an Error ? Is it because we will not yield to things which we apprehend to be directly against the Word of God , and destructive to that Catholick Faith the Christian World hath professed in all Ages ? When you had already begun to doubt , whether our Church were a true Church or no , because you found not that Satisfaction in it your sickly Desires wanted ; it was then an easie matter to give ear to confident People , that magisterially and peremptorily assured you , that you would find Satisfaction in their Church ; and being fed with this hope , your Inclinations to that Church grew stronger every day , as our Mother Eve , the hopes of being like God , suggested to her by the Serpent , did egg and spur her on to eat of the fatal Tree .

- summary: And whatsoever people or Church ( though they claim infallibility ) that teaches a contrary Doctrine unto this ; we have good reason to suspect it , to be that hasty driving and overdriving spirit that would force a faith , where God hath not given it ; ( not to be the infallible spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ ) of which the Church of Rome hath given a vehement cause of suspition , by their cruelty and tortors they have exercised towards them , who could not receive their Principles and own their Judgment in all things : But R. E. the Lay-Gentleman blinded thy eye , when he made thee call into question the truth of Scripture , and that it proceeded from the infallible Testimony of Gods spirit , and if thou had a certain feeling of the same in thy self , and in thy own Conscience to let this go and make this void as an insufficient ground to receive Christianity upon , & to lean to a prop without thee , and to be judged by men , who have been as fallible and changable in their Judgments as the Moon ; which have assumed the name of Catholick Church , whose Testimony thy Instructer I perceive told thee , ought to be received , concerning what as is pretended to be revealed or not revealed by God , yet all must be obliged to stand to their Judgment though never so repugnant to the Doctrine of Christ , and practice of the Church of Christ in the first Primitive times , truly so called ; yet it is granted that the Church of Christ are the dispersed Members through the World , though not of it , agreeing in one faith , being in the power of God , and being led and guided by the Holy Ghost , their Judgments ought to be received , which cannot ( as lead by the Spirit ) fail , in giving true Judgment in matters of faith , which pertains to Salvation , but as men they may fail , and as erring from the spirit they may fail ; and infallibility is not intailed to the persons of any men , but as they continue in the grace of God , and walk in the spirit , and bring forth the fruits thereof , nor to any place or City , but as they continue in Covenant with God ; for the promise of God was to Jerusalem , and Mount Zion , and to many other places and people in divers Cities , where the glory of God once appeared , but now through their Apostacy and unbelief , and disobedience they are desolate , as to the presence and power of God , and their Sun is set , and they are covered as with the shadow of a Cloud ; but this true Church whereof I have spoken , was seen to fly into the Wilderness for time , times and a half , and that since the Apostles days , and then was she not so visible and universal as she had been before ; and the man child was caught up unto God ; now if thou reckon the Roman Church to be this true Church ; shew the time , times , and half a time , wherein she fled into the Wilderness ; and how long she hath been there , and when was the time of her return , and if ever she was there , how that will hang together with your assertion , that she hath been visible , and so universal this fiften hundred years ; and if this could be proved that Rome hath been so , whether doth it not rather demonstrate her to be the Whore that sat upon the many waters ? which waters are Nations , Kindreds , Tongues and People , and what Church ? instance if thou can , doth lay claim to the Nations , Kindreds , Tongues and People to be yours , and to rule over so many Kings of the Earth , as you lay claim to be universally of your faith , and of your Church , which gives us a shrewd character to believe , that indeed you are mystery Babylon ; besides the blood of the Saints that have been shed under the name of Hereticks , by this visible Catholick Church among the Nations this twelve 100. years , doth give clear evidence that it can be reckoned or imputed unto none but you . But an old Plea comes to my mind , which some of the members of the Church of Rome hath alledged to me in the days of my youth , when I was conversant with them , and among them , in a friendly , neighbourly , and sober discourse , of things of this nature before mentioned ; it was said unto me , the Roman Catholick Church is that Church whereby Christianity hath been conveyed to all Nations , and the great Oraccles thereof delivered unto us , and the Scriptures also came from us , by which you know the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God , and the knowledg thereof came unto all , and all her Children ought to be subject unto her , as the true mother that brought them all forth , and if any went astray either into Heresie , or Schisme , which might not only hurt themselves , but also others ; ought not the Mother in natural love to her Children to correct them , and ought not they to bear her correction , and submit unto it ; and hath not she power to correct her Children when they go astray ? unto which is answered , Christianity that which is truly such , and them whom God will own to be Christians was dispersed through the Nations by the power of God ; and we say , that the Church of Rome hath begotten Christendom into that mould and frame into which they are now cast , more by force and awe then any sound Doctrine ; and as for the Scriptures coming from her , that we deny ; We know they came from the Apostles , and from the Primitive Christians , according to the will of God , and have been preserved to this day , though through many polluted hands they have come ; and we know how much your rage was kindled , that ever it should be Translated into the English Tongue , and many felt the effect of it to the loss of their Lives , as I hope many in England doth well consider : But suppose a true Mother have many Children , and suppose some do swerve and go astray from her precepts , and under pretence of correcting of them she shut them up in Goals , and nasty holes , and afflict them with sundry kind of torments , and at last of all kill them and destroy them ; what Judgment will be given by reasonable Men of such a Mother , but this , that she is become unnatural and cruel , and hard hearted , and degenerated from the nature of a loving and tender Mother , and deserves not to have or ever to have had any Children ; and such a kind of Mother hath your Church been , to all that have dissented from her ; that I may say of her as the Prophet Jeremiah said , ( especially in these latter ages ) the Sea Monsters and Dragons of the Wilderness draw out their breasts to feed their young ones , but the daughter of my people is become cruel .

- summary: So that 't is no more necessary or expedient for every Heir , as to the Esse of his being King , to Declare the Conditions immediately upon his coming to the Crown , than 't was requisite for every successive Generation , when the Court of Wards was in force , to declare he held his Lands by Knights Service ; the ancient Tenure of the Estate sufficiently evinc'd the former , and the very Descent of the Crown to the next of Blood , brings with it a tacite implication of all the Immunities and Liberties of the Subjects , in as full and ample a manner , as if they had been repeated a thousand times over . Right , The King is before his Coronation as absolute a Monarch as after : This the Case of Watson and Clark ( who Conspir'd against King James before his Coronation , and were condemn'd of High Treason ) puts beyond all Controversie , and the Reason of this is clear ; the Paction and Agreement between King and People , is an inseperable Concomitant to the Crown , devolves with it to the next Successor , and is the tacite Condition and Terms upon which he accepts the Government .

And now for the Statue or Image of Christ , if it be worshipped towards with such a religious look and devout cast of the eyes as before , significative of the highest veneration that is due to God , or can by us be given to him , it is apparent that this exteriour ritual worship is done to this Image also ; nor can be any more doubted , than if kissing of this Image were the Ritual performance and it were kissed , that this Image was the Object of the kissing with all the exteriour devotionalness used therein : and that therefore this Image thus adored , though but relatively , partakes of divine worship .

- summary: It is certain that abundance of people were drawn from their Popish Opinions and Superstitions by it , and it is probable , that the remaining Roman Catholicks would in time have come over entirely into the Communion of the Church of England , and have brought their Hearts and Affections as well as their Bodies thither ; for it could not have been otherwise , but that the Light , and Plainness , and Reasonable Service of the Protestant Church would have prevailed ( by God's Blessing ) upon every honest well-meaning Papist , and have saved the Pope the trouble of detaching his Incendiaries and Seminary Priests hither . As he had laboured in the promoting the Popish Recufancy , and getting the English Papists to be governed by the Jesuits ; so he now employs all his Arts and all his interest to get Seminaries erected for the supplying England from time to time with Priests to keep up that Recufancy , and to prepare the Papists here , to joyn with any Invasion that they abroad should procure against their own Countrey .

- summary: For how is it possible , considering the passions of humane nature , that the Persecuted Party should love their Persecutors , whom they see armed with Fire and Faggot to destroy them ? and when once they hate them ( as they will soon do when they 〈◊〉 them ) their passion will immediately provoke their Reason to damn and censure them , which is the only means that Persecuted People have a stay to the stomach of their hungry Vengeance , till they have power , and opportunity to glut it in the blood of their Persecutors : and if in the revolution of things , the Persecuted should get above their Persecutors , what can be expected , but that to preserve themselves , they will destroy them from whom they can expect nothing but destruction , should another revolution mount them uppermost again ; and so Christendom will be made a Cock-pit of Cruelties , and as often as mens understandings are deceived , and abused ; so often there will be new Executions and Massacres , which must therefore needs be the more cruel and unmerciful , because they are so Consecrated with a pretence of Religion : for when Religion , which should be the Antidote of our Cruelty , proves its greatest Incentive , it must needs run on the faster into mischief , by how much that which stopped its course before , drives it on with the greater violence ; so that by Persecuting men upon the score of Opinion , we do what in us lies , to banish Charity out of the World ; and in the room of that Love and Union , which our Religion injoyns , to introduce nothing but Rage , Revenge , and Cruelty ; and to make Christendom more Barbarous th●● America . Thirdly , That the Proposition is not be understood of our practice , but of our Judgements and Opinions : for every man hath a natural Right , as he is a Rationable creature , to judg for himself ; and to punish any one for so doing , is the greatest tyranny in the world ; it being an exercise of dominion over the minds of men , which are subject only to the Empire of God ; but as for our practice , that 's liable to the restraints of humane Laws ; and that as well in Sacred , as in Civil Affairs ; they cannot indeed oblige us to do what God hath forbidden us , because his , being the supreme Authority , ought to take place against all the countermands of any inferiour power whatsoever : but then there are a world of things which remain in a state of indifferency , and are left undetermined both by the natural , and positive Laws of God : and these are all liable to the commands and determinations of humane Authority , and are the proper matter of Civil and Ecclesiastical Laws ; to the extent of whose jurisdiction , there can be no other restraint , than only the countermand of a Superiour Authority ; and therefore if there be nothing antecedently evil enjoyned by the Laws , whether Civil , or Ecclesiastical , we are bound to obey them ; and if we do not , we are justly punishable for our disobedience .

In a word , let him prove Scripture to have in it the nature of a Rule of Faith , or ( which will fall into the same ) to have been intended by God for that end , that is , to be of it self such to people of all capacities that soberly enquire , as secures them from erring in Faith while they rely on it , and this of it self without needing any society of Men , or Church to attest or explain it , and then I shall yeild his discourse to run as currently as his own heart can wish : but in proving this , he hitherto hath and ever must fall short most miserably .

- summary: On the other side , Transubstantiation lay unquestion'd and quiet a long time ; and when it came to debate , there was no such opposition as that of Arius , to call in question the Authority of its Tradition ; the Church receiv'd it unanimously , and in that sense continu'd , till rash Reason attempted to fathom the unlimited Miracles and Mysteries of God. But , Sir , to be short , What relation has this to the present Parallel of the Trinity and Transubstantiation ?

- summary: Suppose then we should grant , That the Pope , or Church of Rome were infallible , what advantage has a Papist for Certainty above a Protestant ? Does the Infallibility of the Pope make them all infallible ? These are the proper limits of all Human Authority , both in Church and State ; below this there is no Authority , and above it , it is not Human Authority ; for a blind Obedience can be due to none but God , and he himself seldom exacts it .

- summary: Where this is not , there is no Church ; and where this is , there is but one Church ; how many particular Churches , or distinct Communions soever this Church is divided into : From whence it as evident , that there never can be more than one Church in the World : for those Nominal Churches , which have not the same Lord , the same Faith , the same Baptism , are no Churches ; and all that have , are but one : Which makes it a ridiculous Triumph of the Church of Rome , as if we Protestants did not believe one Catholick Church , or could not tell where to find it , when we profess to believe but One Church , and that all true Churches are Members of this One Church . Now this is a mighty prejudice against any Notion , if it destroys the visibility of the Church , which is so plainly taught in Scripture , and does , for ought we know , unchurch the greatest Member of visible Church-Members ; if the Church consist only of those who were elected from all eternity , and are in time called by the Grace of God to a state of real Holiness and Sanctification , and made the living Members of Christ's Body , I cannot possibly see how there can be a visible Church on Earth ; for this internal Grace which makes a Church-Member is invisible , and therefore Church-Members are invisible too , and then I fear ,

And this I confess were a just Exception against the Answer , if it were true ; but I challenge him to give any one Instance of it , wherein the Answerer has set up the judgment of private Authors against the declared Sense and Judgment of their Councils and Church .

- summary: This he knew not how to reconcile , but by saying , That when the Church prayed for Saints and Martyrs , Prophets and Apostles , the meaning of her Prayers was not to intercede with God for them , but to praise God for their Graces and Vertues ; but when she prayed for meaner Christians , her Prayers were Intercessions for Pardon and Rest to their Souls ; and yet they were all prayed for in the same form of words , and the ancient Church made no such distinction between them : and thus he reconciles the matter by expounding the same words to two different and contrary senses , as they are applied to different subjects , which has taught the Church of Rome , when occasion serves , to soften her Prayers , by expounding them contrary to the plain and natural signification of the words : that the most direct and formal Prayers to Saints and the Virgin for all Temporal and Spiritual Blessings , when they please , shall signifie no more than a bare Ora pro nobis , Pray for us . When several Bishops who have originally all the same Authority in the Government of their several Churches , bestow different Powers on some Bishops , whom they advance above others with the Title and Authority of Metropolitans , or Patriarchs , with a Power of calling Synods , and receiving Appeals , and the principal Authority of Ordinations ; and govern their several Churches by such Ecclesiastical Laws , as are agreed on by common Consent , or the major Vote , This is a very useful Constitution , and of great Antiquity in the Church , if it had not its beginning in the Apostles times ; and for any Bishop or Church causelessly to break such a Confederacy as this , is a very great Evil , and has the Guilt and Crime of Schism ; but yet it does not seem to be such a Schism as divides the intrinsick Unity of the Catholick Church , and cuts off such a Church from the Body of Christ.

- summary: This Combination of Churches and Bishops does not , and ought not to introduce a direct Superiority of one Bishop , or Church , over another ; or of such Synods and Councils over particular Bishops : Every Bishop is the proper Governour of his own Diocess still , and cannot be regularly imposed on against his consent . For this Reason , the Pope and Legates , and Italian Bishops opposed the Divine Institution of the Episcopacy , and for the same Reason the other Party so vehemently contended for it ; and then I will leave any man to judge , which of these two Opinions must pass for the Sense of the Council and Church of Rome : We wish with all our Hearts , the Church of Rome did agree with us in the Divine Institution of Episcopacy , which was the Sense of the Primitive Church ; but unless all Parties in the Council of Trent were very much mistaken , the Supremacy of the Pope , as it is Taught by that Council , does utterly overthrow the Divine Institution of Bishops , and make them onely the Pope's Creatures and Dependants .

- summary: I am blamed for diminishing the glory of our Nation , by ascribing all discoveries to the Antients , or else to Foreigners : to which I answer , that they take off from the glory of our Nation more , who usurp the inventions of others : I rather preserve the credit of the English ( though not of the Virtuosi ) then diminish i●… : undue praises add not to any mans esteem : nor do I think I derogate from Dr. Willis , if I should say that his notion about the use of the Cerebrum and Cerebollum was fairly intimated by Carla Ruini , that ingenious Bolognese , in his Italian Anatomy of an ●…orse : neither do I lessen the performances of the Honourable and curious Mr. R. Boyle , when I averr that Aristotle did held the Ayre to be ponderous , and weighed it before him ; or that the Elasticity of the Ayre was ( as to name and thing ) fully proposed by Pecquetus ; and which is more than I have yet said , yet 't is true , even the comparison betwixt the Atmosphear and Flocks of Wool is urged by him . The Ethicks there are gen●…rous , and subservient to Religion , and civil prudence , and all manner of virtue : the Logick and Metaphysicks are so entwisted with the established Religion , and so requisite to the support of it against Papists and Socinians , that without a miracle the neglect hereof must bring a change in the former : even common wisdome teacheth us that we must vary our Weapons and Militia according to what our enemies practise : thus when the world assumed Guns , we have been forced to abandon our Archery , and quit those fortifications which sufficed against all former approaches , since the battering Canon were introduced : the learning of the Sarracens prevailing on the minds of men endued with reason , the Monks and Ecclesiasticks were forced to Study School-divinity in opposition to them , and not to rely upon the sole support of Authority , Legends , and feigned Miracles : and whilst that Subtlety of reasoning and distinguishing continues amongst our Adversaries , 't is no less than apparent madness to cast our Arms away , and desert those courses by which alone so great a part of the Nation is to be reduced , and Foreign encroachments prevented .

- summary: But to consult with a friend in the matters of friendship is like consulting with a spiritual person in Religion ; they who understand the secrets of Religion , or the interior beauties of friendship are the fittest to give answers in all inquiries concerning the respective subjects ; because reason and experience are on the side of interest ; and that which in friendship is most pleasing , and most useful is also most reasonable and most true ; and a friends fairest interest is the best measure of the conducting friendships : and therefore you who are so eminent in friendships could also have given the best answer to your own inquiries , and you could have trusted your own reason , because it is not only greatly instructed by the direct notices of things , but also by great experience in the matter of which you now inquire . Christian Charity is friendship to all the world ; and when friendships were the noblest things in the world , charity was little , like the sunne drawn in at a chinke , or his beames drawn into the Centre of a burning-glass ; but Christian charity is friendship , expanded like the face of the sunne when it mounts above the Eastern hills : and I was strangely pleas'd when I saw something of this in Cicero ; for I have been so push'd at by herds and flocks of people that follow any body that whistles to them , or drives them to pasture , that I am grown afraid of any truth that seems chargeable with singularity : but therefore I say , glad I was when I saw Laelius in Cicero discourse thus .

John Damascen de Defunctis , the Sermons of Saint Augustine upon the Feast of the Commemoration of All-souls ( which nevertheless was instituted after S. Augustin's death ) and divers other citations , which the Greeks in their Apology call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , The Holds and the Castles , the corruptions and insinuations of Heretical persons . [ When we are gone from hence , there is no place left for repentance , and no effect of satisfaction . ] S. Dionysius calls the extremity of death , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The end of all our agonies , and affirms , That the Holy men of God rest in joy , and in never failing hopes , and are come to the end of their holy combates S. Justin Martyr affirms , That when the soul is departed from the body , 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , presently there is a separation made of the just and unjust : The unjust are by Angels born into places which they have deserv'd ; but the souls of the just into Paradise , where they have the conversation of Angels and Archangels . S. Ambrose * saith , that Death is a haven of rest , and makes not our condition worse , but according as it finds every man , so it reserves him to the judgment that is to come .

He gave some Apostles , &c. to the Consummation of the Saints ? Pro. The Scripture says so , because under the Gospel the Church was not limited to the Nation of the Jews , but all Nations might be Members of it : and there should be a Church to the end of the World ; but it doth not therefore say this Church should be in all Nations , at all times , much less doth it say that its being so is a Mark that it is the True Church .

The Author thereof had required that clear and plain Texts of Scripture be offer'd , which interpreted in the Protestant way , by those who receive it thus expounded for their whole Rule of Faith , should so prove the two principal Articles of Christian Belief , the Trinity and the Incarnation of Christ ; as also the Obligation of keeping holy the Sunday , and not Saturday , as one of the Commandments seems to require ; and that so convincingly , that a Christian might ground on them his Faith.

- summary: Now for those strange Apparitions and Cures , said to be made at the places of their Sepulture , or otherwhere ; whether it was so and so , or how it was , I am content with St. Augustin ( knowing the way of God , in permitting such Events to be inscrutable , and the wisdom of man , in making application thereof to be often meer foolishness ) they should remain the Objects of my Admiration , rather than the Subjects of my Scrutinie ; and I hold them , in some sort , able ( especially in the eyes of young Believers ) to confirm a point which is consonant to the Word of God ; but no proofs of any thing without or against it . In Reprobation ( the reverend Davenant choseth rather to term it Non-election ) none of the sacred and undivided Trinity are interessed farther , than that God contracts his hand , and suffers man to remain overwhelmed under the ruine he hath brought upon himself .

- summary: For in stead of acknowledging with the Scripture ( which teacheth it vs ) that of our owne nature , being dead in our sins , vnable to frame euen a good thought , and bring forth of our selues any good thing , by reason that the whole imagination of mans heart is set vpon nothing but euill at all times euen from his youth ; God hereupon doth baptise vs not onely with water , but principally with the holy Ghost , by the which correcting and mortifying by little and little the corruption of our nature , infected with the sinne which we bring with vs from the belly of our mother , of vnbeleeuers , impenitent , rebellious , wilfull , and disobedient to his commandements and precepts , such as wee are of our selues and of our owne nature , he makes vs to beleeue his truth , takes from vs the hardnesse of our hearts , makes vs flexible and pliable vnder the yoake of his lawes , and of his obedience , that so renouncing all vnfruitfull workes of sinne and darknesse , we may liue as true children of light in righteousnesse and true holinesse : in stead ( I say ) of acknowledging , teaching , and carefully vrging this , they doe the quite contrary , 1. extenuating ( as I haue already said ) and diminishing as farre as they are able , this naturall corruption and originall sinne which is in vs , saying that it is but a light infirmitie , spirituall languor , and weaknesse of nature , which makes vs indeed backward and slow in good , but not dead to all good , and quicke and ready to all euill : 2. attributing to the water , salt and spittle , and other such like things of baptisme , the mortification of that naturall corruption in vs , and not rather to the merit of Iesus Christ our Sauiour , and to the power and efficacie of his death and passion : 3. in that , that seeming to acknowledge the grace of God to be necessary for the healing of this euill , yet in effect they doe quite disanull this , and attribute it to themselues , and to the force and power of their free-will : 1. in that they imagine that in man , by the force and power of his nature , there are some preparatiues and dispositions to receiue this grace , and consequently that there are in him certaine merits of congruitie ; so that with them the cause why God offereth and presenteth his grace to one and not to another , is because the one is well prepared , ( of himselfe , you must vnderstand , and not by the grace of God , seeing he prepares and disposes himselfe for to receiue it ) and the other is not : as if man being so miserably corrupted as hee is , could of himselfe doe any thing that might deserue grace de congruo , as they speake , that is , might binde God by way of honestie and conueniencie , to bestow vpon him his grace : 2. in that they make this grace to bee such , as that all the vertue and efficacie thereof depends wholly vpon the libertie of man , which in effect is to make this grace idle and vnprofitable : for how can any man call that medicine sufficient , and effectual for the healing of a maladie , which can doe no good without one certaine ingredient ? Now do they make the grace of God like to this medicine ; it can doe nothing ( as they say ) nor worke in vs without the force and vertue of our free-will , which is the chiefe ingredient , according to them , which giueth force and efficacie to this spiritual medicine . His offices are many and in a great number , as I haue said ( yea almost infinite , and hee would neuer haue done , that will recount them and stand vpon each of them in particular ) but they may all notwithstanding be reduced to these two specials and particulars ; which he hath purchased vs by his death and passion , and merited by the effusion of his precious bloud , our Iustification and Sanctification , which God promiseth to his people in that new couenant , which he foretelleth by Ieremy , 31. and 32. that hee was to make with them , rehearsed by the Apostle to the Hebrewes , 8. and the 10.

- summary: And we see by experience that hatred and ill will , and looseness of life , gains ground more by the Schisms that are amongst Christians , than by any thing else ; and no wonder , since men that are of different and opposite Communions do not use to love one another ; and vicious persons do not value the Communion of a true Church , nor care if for their ill manners they be turned out of it , when they can take Sanctuary in a pretended Church of another Communion , that makes as loud a claim to all the Priviledges of a Chruch-Society as that Church can do from which they have divided themselves . And there are three sorts of men who fail of knowing the truth , for want of due endeavours to find it out .

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 .

- summary: But though we believe such things , when they are revealed by God , which Natural Reason could never have taught us , and which Natural Reason does not see the depths and mysteries of ; and therefore do not stint our Faith , and confine it within the narrow bounds of Natural Reason ; yet we use our Reason to distinguish a true from a counterfeit Revelation , and we use Reason to understand a Revelation ; and we Reason and Argue from revealed Principles , as we do from the Principles of Natural Knowledge : As from that Natural Principle , that there is but one God , we might conclude , without a Revelation , that we must Worship but one God : so from that revealed Doctrine of one Mediator between God and man , we may as safely conclude , that we must make our Applications , and offer up our Prayers and Petitions to God , onely by this one Mediator ; and so in other cases . And this can be known onely by Revelation ; for Reason cannot discover it , because it depends not upon any necessary Reason , but on the free and arbitrary appointment of God : as St. Paul tells us , That as no man knows the things of a man , but the spirit of man , that is in him ; so no man knoweth the things of God , but the spirit of God : That is , as no man can tell the secret thoughts and purposes of a man , nor how he will determine himself in matters of his own free choice and election :

At that General Councel of Ariminum , branded by his Majesty for heretical , the farr greater number were pious and orthodox men ; the Arrian party perceiving they could not out-vote them , resolved ( if possible ) to out-wit them , and therefore moved in Councel , that , whereas the Nicene Creed had brought in are word {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} signifying , the second Person in the Trinity , to be of the same substance with his Father ; which word gave much offence to many , because it was not to be found in the Scriptures , and was very dark and intricate in it self ; that therefore it should thence forward be forborn , and instead thereof should be inserted , that the Son is like unto his Father in all things , according to the Scriptures .

The Almighty Father being perswaded by the reasons of the Son , is disposed to satisfie him ; but to proceed with the wonted circumspection of divine Iustice , he commands Saint Paul to transfer himself-to Earth , to understand the complaints of Mortals , and to forme a diligent Processe of the actions of the Roman Spouse accordingly : And he speaks to him as followeth ; PAul , great are the discomposures which arise from an unchast woman ; This very Heaven cannot glory it self to be free of them ; my only begotten Son himself is troubled and aggriev'd at the dishonest actions of the Church of Rome his Spouse .

- summary: About the yeare also , 1180 , Alexander the third , Pope of Rome , being mightily puft-up with the mountanous tympanie of pride and arrogancie , by reason of a great victorie he had obtained , compelled Fredericke then Emperour of Rome to come ( on a day appointed by the said Pope ) to S. Marks in Venice , and there before all the people , he commanded the Emperour to prostrate himselfe flat on the ground before the Pope , and so to crave his mercie and pardon , which the Emperour accordingly did ; whereupon the Pope like self-flated Nebuchadnezzar , or indeed , most like Lucifer himselfe , trod with his foot on the Emperours necke , and with his proud heart and mouth , most blasphemously abused that Scripture , Thou shalt goe upon the Aspe and Basiliske , and upon the Lion and the Dragon shalt thou tread . And here in the first place , I shall give you one undeniable cause of incontinencie in the Priests of Rome , from the top to the toe , from the Pope their holy Father himselfe , to the most base and beggarly inferiour Fryers and hedge-priests of Rome ( besides the publike toleration of Stewes , as afore-said , a most stinking streame from a most filthy fountaine ) namely the Popes most horribly pernicious Decree to make it unlawfull for any of their Priests or Ecclesiasticks to marry ; by which means in the dayes of Pope Gregorie ( who first forbad Priests marriage ) this said Pope , afterward , causing a fish pond of his to be fish'd and sewed , in the cleansing of the pond they found to the number of 6000. sculs of little Infants ( in that one pond ) which had been begot in that unchaste condition of Priests about him , and had been murthered and cast into this the Popes pond .

The law of the Lord is immaculate ; that is without spot , or blemish of falshood , or impiety : The precept of the Lord is Lucid : that is bright , shining , and like a light to shew us the true way to serve God , and save our soules : The testimony of the Lord is faithfull : and Saint Paul cals it a sound doctrine ; by which Metaphor he intimates , that as that body cannot be judged sound & healthfull , which is seased upon by any disease ; so that Doctrine , Faith , or Church , cannot be wholsome , and soul-saving , which hath adhearing to it any maxime , or assertion false or favouring vice ; but there needs no proof of this ; for it is called the word of God : And the doctrine of Christs Church must needs proceed originally from Christ ; who will not permit his Church to teach impious or false doctrine .
