Tithes or other set maintenance Thy next place is 1 Cor. 9.11 But what spiritual things have ye sowne unto the people unlesse spiritual Delusions Teaching for Christs doctrine the Traditions of Men calling Sprinckling Infants the Baptisme of Christ and roaring out Lyes in the Idols Temple spiritual melody and eating a bit of bread and drinking a sup of wine feeding on the Body and Blood of Christ Is Original Sin the Doctrine of Christ Is Denying the Deity to be Communicable the Doctrine of Christ or Antichrist Is not he that denyes Jelus to be come in the flesh an Antichrist Then Edward Reyner hath no wrong done him to be called Antichrist for He denyes the Substance of the Deity to be communicable Is not Christ Jesus of the Substance of the Deity Is it not said Christ in you the Hope of Glory Paul tells us he used not this power but suffered all things lest he should hinder the Gospel of Christ If the Ministers of England were such as Paul was they would be content with Paul's Reward and what was that Verily saith he 1 Cor. 9.18 That when I preach the Gospel I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge Paul he kept under his Body and brought it into subjection lest that saith he when I have preached to others I my self should be a Cast-away 1 Cor. 9.27 O that when thou preachest Self-Denyal to others thou wouldest make Paul thy President and practise it thy self and not cry out of the difficulty thereof as thou dost page 80. and so be discouraged and never take up the Crosse but live in such pomp and pride as thou does nor call for respect to thy person as thou does like a Proud Pharisee as thou art Do either of the places in Scripture thou produces prove that the Apostles called for that respect to their persons which thou receivest Or does either of the places mention respect to their persons The Pride of thy Heart is seen in thy third proof I saiah 52.7 The words are these How beautiful upon the Mountaines are the feet of Him that bringeth good tydings that publisheth peace that bringeth good tidings of good that publisheth salvation that saith unto Sion Thy God reigneth Come down thou proud Son of Ambition that aspiring spirit in three shall be level'd with the Dust 1 Pet. 5.5 For God refuteth the proud and gives his grace to the Humble Page 174. Thou counsels Masters and Mistreffes to Make their Servants read Scriptures and Bring them to the Publique Ordinances He that dares use such lofty language now when Liberty to tender Consciences through the infinite love of the living God is allowed how would he thunder would he not prove another bloody Bonner if ever power should be put into his hands Art thou a Minister of the Gospel and thus seeks to dethrone him by taking his Golden Scepter of Loe from him and wouldst rule thy self over his Saints with thy rod of iron thy persecuting spirit Is not Christ alone King of the Conscience Away thou Traitor to the King of Saints Thy Treason is discovered against him and his Tender Lambs but it shall not prosper Page 217. Thou talks of Contempt of the World of all the Wealth Pomp and Glory in it and sayes it is Christian Magnanimity to contemn silver and gold 'T is such Magnanimity as neither thee not the Priests of England who preach for Rewards are indued with What people lives in more pomp and glory of the World than your selves according to your outward estates who coret silver and gold more then your selves Page 219. Paul thou sayes was singular in Self-Denyal 1 Cor. 9.27 O that Edward Reyner could truly say so of himself but while he preaches this to others he himself becomes a Cast-away for he like a Coward cryes out of the difficulty thereof and never yet durst deal with it Page 80. P. 225. Ah that thou hadst eyes to see who it is that rests in the Name without the thing who it is that Sardis-like hath a Name to live but is dead and who they be that are the Synagogue of Satan But this is hid from thy eyes for thou delightest in darknesse and loves not but loathes the light an infallible sign thy Deeds are evil Revelat. 3. 1 9. Page 227. Priest Thou sayes Neither is that Baptisme sufficient to Salvation which is outward only of the flesh Ans Why dost thou use it then sprinckle Infants being thou hast neither precept nor president for that practice Priest Baptisme is that of the Spirit thou sayes in the Heart Ephs 4.5 If this onely be Christs Baptisme Whose is the other Paul owned but one Lord one Faith one Baptisme Page 244.

Were they fil'd with more wisdom of heart than this Fox is with deceitfullness A cunning workman he is seene to be but the Mystery of his iniquity is laying open Read it saith Edmond Calamy and it will make thee very holy here and perfectly happy hereafter Is not this a Chicken of the Serpents hatching can lies contradictions and blasphemous Doctrine make very holy here and perfectly happy hereafter And now he concludes with an old Sacerdotal Complement Your Servant in the work of the Ministry Your Teacher thou mightest more truly have said in the Mystery of Iniquity His Letter is short but I cannot say sweet yet he hath a notable faculty of writing much in a little many filthy lies are laid down in his little letter Babylon he loves Babylon he lives in and in Babylon I leave him The God of life and love be merciful unto him The next thing I meet with is Edward Reyners Preface to the Reader where he sayes After serious consideration and consultation with flesh and blood what consult with flesh and blood about the things of God Did Paul so Gal. 1.16 Nay he conferred not with flesh and blood but it seems thou didst whether Paul or thee better deserves the Name of a Minister of the Gospel in this particular let the wise man judge Yet thou sayes thou found thy heart inclined thou hopes by the good hand of God to take those ten Rules into second thoughts upon two grounds especially That in the review of them they appeared to thee too short and defective The other was that notwithstanding the tenuity and imperfection of them God hath as thou was informed its likely by such flatterers as Calamy made them instrumental for the good of others But it is the good hand of God to make it clear thy hope was the hope of an Hypocrite desiring to seem what thou wert not a Minister of the Gospel Hadst thou been a true Minister of the Gospel thou wouldest not have consulted with flesh and blood Thou couldest not have preached that which was defective and imperfect did ever any of the Apostles deliver such Doctrine as thou hast done How wert thou guided by what Rule not by that Rule which Paul was Could the Holy Ghost give out that which was defective and imperfect Wilt thou make that pure spirit the Authour of that filthy Book He that is so weak as to believe thee or thy Dreams is not guided by wisdom so I pitty him Thou beseeches the Reader to take thy ten Rules out of thy Book into his bosom Thy meaning is to believe and practise them What believe lies contradictions and blasphemies live and die in ignorance They have little reason to answer thy request otherwise than Get thee behind me Satan John 16.13 1 John 3.9 What if a man could repeat all the Bible that 's larger and better then thy Book yet if the Vnction within the spirit of Christ live not in him all will avail him nothing If that seed remain not in him how can he be guided into all truth how can he keep himself and not sin Pen and Inck shall never make a sinner become a Saint Calling it a Delusion and they that are guided by it thou countest deluded The true Rule but not thy ten Rules will if observed keep from wandring stumbling falling and halting But thou art not yet in the way to Heaven for Christ is the way He is the light and him thou lovest not but to thy power dost persecute him both in print and Pulpit He is the Guide into all truth and him thou followest not but flyest from He is the Rule and him thou walks not by but delightest in the dark Dungeon of self-inventions Luke 13.24 The way seems to thee so narrow and strait thou dares not Amos 1.6 strive to enter in but takes pleasure in the broad way because its easie to the flesh But woe be to them that are at ease in the flesh Thou art not come to the brideling of the Tongue witness the many lies in thy
