     summary: But you , Jesuite-like , for I am sorry ● cannot give it a milder term , are not afraid to say , The Scripture tells us not sufficiently and particularly which Books in it self are Canonical , b nor what various Readings are the right , nor whether every Text be brought to us incorrupted : So that in effect , you do resolve the credit of the Holy Scripture , into the Truth of Church-History ; which words are so contrary to the true Protestant Doctrine , so derogatory from the Self-evidencing Light , and Divine Authority of the VVord of God contained in the Scripture ; and so fully agreeing with the Doctrine of the Jesuites in this Point , that all which you have writ ( pretendedly for the Defence of the Scripture , when indeed you betray it ) is not able to make any tolerable satisfaction . A defence of The antidote against Mr. Baxter's palliated cure of church divisions wherein Mr. Baxter's contradictions and inconsistences ... are clearly discovered, and the great question about conformity briefly stated in a letter to Mr. Richard Baxter / by Edward Bagshaw.

Now the Spirit speaketh expresly , that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith , giving heed to seducing Spirits , and doctrines of Divils : Speaking lyes in hypocrisie , having their conciences seared with a hot Ir●n . For my own part , these sad considerations made me leave my Christianography , and write an He●●siography to describe the Hereticks and Schismaticks of this time , in which I set downe their beginning among us ; their hereticall opinions and errors , confuting them ; and also relate how other Princes and Common● wealths have suppressed them , and how severely some of them have beene punished among us .

     summary: Secondly , Divisions open a doore to let in a foraine enemie : and it is a free and miraculous mercy that God hath kept out the French , and the Spaniard , and the Danes from invading England in these times of our divisions . As God caused the Midianites to destroy one another : so these Divisions set a Kingdome against it selfe ; they set a man against himselfe ; a Citie against it selfe , to destroy it selfe , : In a word , that I may expresse all misery in one phrase : Divisions bring in Civill warres , which of all warres are most uncivill .

     summary: It is asserted by some Divines of Scotland , that in all such things as are alike common to the Church , and to the Common-wealth , and have the same use in both , whatsoever Natures light directeth the one , it cannot but direct the other also ; for as the Church is a company of Christians subject to the Law of God , so is it a company of men and women , who are not the outlawes of Nature , but followers of the same . So others of them will nottolerate , or admit into fellowship the godliest Christians , unlesse they will enter into Covenant , professe their faith , submit to their Church Orders , though they would be of their Church ; so that these men who now would faine have a toleration in this great Kingdome will not allow any in a remote Plantation , nor in one of their small particular Congregations , for feare of disturbing the peace of their Church , and yet would have a toleration in this Kingdome , never caring to disturbe the peace , and good of the three Kingdomes which would be much hazarded by it , but thus partiall men are ( and you may observe it ) t is ordinary for men when they are not in place nor have no power in Church or Common-wealth , and hold also Doctrines and principles contrary to what is held , and established , then to plead for tolerations , when as the same parsons comming to be in place and to have power , wil not tolerate others to set up any way different from theirs .

       title: The schismatick sifted. Or, The picture of Independents, freshly and fairly washt-over again. Wherein, the sectaries of these times (I mean, the principall seducers to that dangerous and subtile schisme of Independency) are with their own proper pensils, and self-mixed colours, most lively set forth to be a generation of notorious dissemblers and sly deceivers. Collected (for the most part) from undeniable testimonies under their own hands, in print; for the more fair and full satisfaction, and undeceiving of moderate and much misled Christians; especially by the outward appearance of their piety of life, and a pretence of their preaching sound-doctrine. / By John Vicars.
