     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: A 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is a Greek word , and the derivations that are given of Heresie from other words then 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , Greek or Latine , are fond and spurious . It was a word amongst the Philosophers , Greek and Latine , us'd for any Sect promiscuously , and so the acception is indifferent ; but 't is otherwise in sacred Scripture , in Ecclesiastical Writers , Fathers , and Historians , amongst whom 't is alwaies us'd in an evil sense , the Acts of the Apostles being excepted , where 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is alwaies translated Sect , only Acts 24. 14.

     summary: Who albeit they agreed not with M r Wotton in all particulars ; and in some things then debated were not all of one mind , as in that question occasioned by M r Wotton's answer to one branch of the last Article , to wit , Whether in the work of redemption the faithfull be considered as one with Christ , or no : or in plainer terms , Whether our insition into Christ in the order of Nature be deemed to precede the work of our redemption , or the work of our redemption in the order of nature to go before it : concerning which , being somewhat a nice subtiltie , they were divided ; some holding the one part , and some the other : IT hath ever been and is generally held a breach , not of Charity alone , but even of * Piety too , to insult over and trample upon persons deceased : which if in any sort of men doth well deserve such a censure , surely among Christian men especially it may justly be so deemed for any in that manner to deal with their Christian brethren , such as have lived and died in the profession of the same common Faith in Christ , and in the fellowship of the same Church of God with themselves .

     summary: This Heroick action of the Turkish Monarch , was not much short of that policie of one of the ancient Christian Emperours , who having his Army mixed of Christians and Pagans , and desiring to discover who of the first were little better then those of the latter , made , like another Jehu : a publike Declaration for the restoring of Paganisme , upon which , divers of the Christian Commanders shewing themselves forward to desert the truth , and to follow the stream and time , he presently reproved and cashier'd them ; alledging , that all such were unworthy to serve any Prince that had proved unfaithfull to that divine Majesty , by which Princes rule . The second , in the manner of his first wound , which was given him in his throat , and caused immediately the bloud so abundantly to stream out of his mouth , as he never had time once to call on God for mercy or forgivenesse , but spent the last minute of his life , in the revenging himself on his murtherers .

     summary: Whether is not the said Ordinance , in the example of it , a direct incouragement and confirmation to Popish Magistrates , to persecute the faithfull servants of God , who live in their territories with fire & sword , for professing the truth of God amongst them ? And whether doe not they , who here seeke to plucke up the tares , by such an Ordinance , plucke up the wheat also there , by the same ? Whether was there ever any such Ordinance , or State act , ever heard of , or knowne , in any the Reformed Churches ? I meane , which was so apparently bent against the faces , if not of the greatest part , yet of so considerable a part of the best and most conscientious men amongst them , as this is ? Whether was there ever any thing done in the Bishops times , or any thing attempted to be done by this generation of men in the day of their greatest interest and power in the Kingdome , of that bloudy consequence to those godly persons , Ministers , or others , whom they most hated , and sought to crush , as this Ordinance , if once established , is like to be , to surre greater numbers of truely pious and conscientious men ? Whether the said Ordinance ministreth not an advantage , of opportunity to the worst and wickedest of men , who commonly hate the best and faithfullest Ministers most , to accuse them unduly of such things , which according to the ordinary course of Law , may touch their lives , or otherwise bring much affliction , and vexation to them ? WHether it be agreeable to the Spirit of Christ , ( who came into the world , as himself saith not to destroy mens lives , but to save them a , ) to make snares of any of his Doctrines for the destruction of the lives of men ? Whether it be agreeable to the mind of Christ , for men to inflict the heavie censure of death upon their Brethren , for holding forth such Doctrines , or opinions in Religion , suppose contrary to admonition , which , for ought the said inflicters know , except they make themselves infallible , may be the sacred Truths of God ?
