Temptation not from Religion 10. Thus we are Catholicks and our Church will prove so too We beleeve the holy Catholick Church we professe it is but one (q) Cypr. l. 4. ep 2. A Christo una as St. Cyprian speaks but one of Christs making though divided through all Nations into many members per totum mundum in multa membra divisa (r) Item Episcopatus unus Episcoporum multorum concordi numerositare diffusus Ib. So the Episcopacy is but one under that great (s) 1. S. Pet. 2.25 Bishop of our soules but it is diffused by the numerous consent of many Bishops One Church and one Bisho●rick and yet many Bishopricks which are called Churches and (t) Concil Nic. Diatyp 2. every Bishop is head as it were of that Communion or Church which is committed to his charge (u) Tertull. de Praescrip c. 20. These many Churches small or great una est illa ab Apostolis prima ex qua omnes are that one first Apostolicall Church of whom come all (x) Sic omnes primae omnes Apostolicae dum omnes unam probant unitatem Ib. Thus they are all prime all Apostolick while they all approve one unity (y) Ib. c. 32. This unity is by Tertullian placed in Faith and Episcopall succession Hitherto then we are right for those Churches that have this faith and this successive government (z) Ib. non minus Apostolicae deputantur pro consanguinitate doctrinae are equally Apostolick with those very Churches which were planted by the Apostles And in the Councel of Ephesus the appeal is not to the Bishop or Church of Rome for tryall of doctrine but to the (a) Vincent Lirin c. 42. consent of the most famous Catholick Bishops that were before them If Rome be judge the work is short we shall quickly have one Religion setled good or bad But the old rule is this (b) Ib. c. 3. Quod ubique quod semper quod ab omnibus that which hath been beleived in all places at all times by all the Fathers that is truly Catholick and nothing else for ought I know 11. This fully manifests that this Nationall Church is as much Catholick and Apostolick as can be desired And yet I cannot expect that this should work upon you who are obstinately prepossessed against all satisfaction I remember A.C. was not ashamed to publish in print (c) A.C. p. 54. that the Lady whom the two Bishops conferred with did not aske the Question as if she meant to be satisfied with hearing what either of them said And was it not is it not so with you Simon Magus will be the old man say St. Peter what he may And (d) 2. Tim. 3.8 as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so will your corrupt faction resist the truth come what can 12. But you have reason for what you say and this it is (e) n. 3. Because although I said the Church of Rome was a member of the Catholick yet the 19. Article of our Church sayes that the visible Church of Christ is a Congregation of faithfull men in the which the pure Word of God is preached and the Sacraments be duly administred according to Christs Ordinance in all those things that of necessity are requisite to the same What is here to displease you Is not all true Refute it if you can deny it if you have the face (f) Ib. But in divers other Articles our Church condemnes the Church of Rome for not preaching the pure Word of God And that 's it that offends you Sir we undertake not to judge your Church but her doctrine we condemne her errors and yet acknowledge her to be a Church (g) Apoc. 2.13 God blames the Church of Pergamos for enduring the seat of Satan within her Diocese as also (h) Ib. v. 15. for holding that odious doctrine of the Nicolaitans and yet grants her to be a Church such a one as it was St. Paul calls the Corinthians (i) 1 Cor. 1.2 a Church but (k) Ib. v. 11. c. 3. he blames their schismes (l) Ib. c. 5. their carnality (m) Ib. c. 11. their disorders in the Church (n) Ib v. 20 c. their prophaning of the Lords Supper and (o) Ib. c. 15.12 charges them with the heresie of the Sadduces Your errors were crept in among us and shall not we dare to call them errors and to teach our Country-men to avoyd them Foure of these that B. Martyr hath charged you with and proves them to be blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits as I acquainted you § 24. You read and turn over and take no notice of what you read This 't is to be led by other mens eyes and to see no further then your new Masters will give you leave 13. Justly we taxe you Art 30. for maiming the blessed Eucharist and for denying the Cup or Blood of the Lord to Lay men As if our Saviour had not shed it for them as much as for us and had not given it to them as well as to us What is the meaning then of these words (p) St. Mat. 26.27 Drink ye all of this or did not the Church of Christ understand what they did when they gave it to Priest and People And how can I communicate with them that will not suffer me to communicate with Christ according to his own Ordinance who deny me that which Christ hath commanded me to take In denying me the Cup ye admit me by halves in truth ye forbid me the Lords Table I withdraw not my selfe I have proved § 11. that in the judgement of the Catholick Church this Sacrament is to be administred to the Laity in both kinds I shall adde therefore with you that (q) n. 4. the Church of Rome doth neither preach the pure Word of God nor duly administer the Sacraments in those things that are of necessity requisite for the same This appears by our departure or as you name it our separation not from you but from your errors As you are a Church we communicate with you wherein ye are erronious we depart from you And in this we relie not upon our owne judgement but (r) In ipsa vetustate omnium vel certè penè omnium Sacerdotum pari●er Magistrorum definitiones sententiasque sectamur Vincent Lirin c. 3. submit to the generall resolution of the ancient Fathers The Jews at Gods command (s) Lev. 13.46 separated the leprous from the sound the clean from the unclean and so doe we Though (t) Num. 12.14 Miriam were Moses owne Sister yet did he withdraw himselfe and the whole Congregation from her while leprous But when she was healed of her foule disease both he and the rest communicated with her Cast off your leprous errors and we are for your communion 14. And whereas you adde that (u) n. 4. Archbishop Lawd says it is not lawfull to make

4.3 those few in Sardis that had not defiled their garments from the multitude that had (i) Ingemuit totus orbis se Arianum esse miratus est Hieron cont Lucifer c. Vincent Lirin c. 6. The world groaned and wondred to see it self all Arian But God sees not as man sees at that time he had a Church and his eyes beheld it though it were very difficult for man to point it out Visible it was to some and those not over many Thus much for the Visibility of the Church 10. It is time now to look toward the second proposition wherewith you charge me which is this You say the Church of Rome The second Proposition and those in communion with her are not the Catholick Church because they have grievously erred and in one fundamentall at least What ever I said I am sure I have manifested that the Church of Rome and those particular Churches in her communion are not cannot be the Catholick Church no more then some parts of man may be said to be the whole man or (k) The Church is called the House of God 1. Tim. 3.15 some parts of an house to be the whole house But as for the reason which you impose upon me I am certain I never gave it I never said these were not the Catholick Church because they have grievously erred and in one fundamentall at least This reason was not could not be given for that purpose neither was it needfull or usefull For had it never erred the Catholick it could not be a Catholick it might be a part but not the whole If these you speak of be the whole all other are excluded and that your party most uncharitably aimes at Take Rome at the best at the highest (l) Concil Nic. can 6. she hath her priviledges among many not over all other Provinces must enjoy theirs And divers Bishops have as large territories as ever justly had your Pope of Rome He that hath a desire to know the truth of this let him consult the 6 Canon of Nice the 2 3 of Constantinople the 28 of Chalcedon with the 28 125 Canons of the African Code and he shall quickly discern that Rome in those days was no such wondrous Church She no lesse then others had her bounds which she might not passe 11. But I remember well I said that if there were no other cause then the maiming of the Lords Supper I could not communicate with the Church of Rome The reason is because our Saviour ordained it to be given in both kinds and ye have most sacrilegiously robbed the Laity of his blood By this means yee make the people unfit for martyrdome if St. Cyprian mistake not (m) Cyp. l. 1. ep 2 Quomodo saith that Father ad martyrii poculum idoneos facimus si non eos ad BIBENDUM prius in Ecclesia POCULUM DOMINI jure communicationis admittimus How can we make them fit for the cup of Martyrdome if first in the Church we doe not by right of communion admit them to DRINK THE CUP OF THE LORD And againe (n) How can we shed our blood for Christ who are ashamed to drink the blood of Christ Cypr. l. 2. ep 3. Quomodo possumus propter Christum sanguinem fundere qui sanguinem Christi erubescimus bibere No may the people say we are not ashamed to drink it but yee are ashamed to give it us to drink at least to acknowledge the wrong that yee have done us We have a right to drink it but yee have barred us from our right Thus yee have gone against the sense and practise of the Primitive Church Yee have also departed from the Institution of Christ (o) Ex Christi institutione Sacramenta virtutem obtinent Tho 3 q 64.3 c from which the Sacraments receive their force and virtue What efficacy then can your half Sacrament be of 12. But for your further satisfaction I adde First The Church of Rome and those in communion with her are not the Catholick Church exclusivè solely excluding others however divers of that faction appropriate that title to them And yet (p) Art 19. we grant Rome herself to be a Church that is a member of the one Catholick though an erronious member as a vicious man is a man or as an ulcerous member is a part of the body Though we see her errors we deny not her essence but wish she were cleansed from her corruptions Secondly a particular Church cannot be styled the Vniversall and Catholick signifies nothing else * Si hominem dicas jam quemvis hominem dixisti Athan. de Definit tom 2. p. 45. no more then Socrates can be said to be Home in specie all or the onely man Neither can we affirm that man is the onely animal the onely sensitive creature though the most excellent Yet in the third place though we deny you to be the Catholick we acknowledge you to be a Church (q) Archbishop Lawd §. 20. n. 3. For that Church which receives the Scripture as a Rule of faith though but as a partiall and imperfect Rule and both the Sacraments as instrumentall causes and seals of grace though they adde more and misuse these yet cannot but be a true Church in essence 13. It is not then every abuse of Scripture and Sacraments but (r) Haeretici de Deo falsa sentiendo ipsam fidem violan Quapropter non pertinent ad Ecclesiam Catholicā Aug. de Deut. locut l. 6. c. 10. the razing of the foundation that ruines a Church and makes that to be none which heretofore was one Of the essence of the Church I take to be these two (s) Omnes haereses ad utramque formam à nostris Ecclesiis provocatae probent se quaquâ putant Apostolicas Tertul. de Praescrip c. 32. the Catholick faith and the Apostolick government The former is the soul of the Church and gives it life the other is as the sinews thereof which knit the members together firmly into one body Without the former it is built upon sand and without the other it cannot last (t) Heb. 11.6 Without the Catholick faith we cannot please God and without a Bishop the Sacraments will quickly cease Yea the very communion of the Church must fail since according to St. Austin's rule (u) Non possunt communicare nisi iis quos sedere in sedebus Episcopalibus audiebant Aug. ep 163. we may not so much as hold communion with any that have not Episcopall Sees Since then yee professe the Catholick faith and continue the Apostolick government though mixt with corruptions and encroachments (x) Archbishop Lawd § 2● n. 2. we grant you to be a true but not Orthodox Church For (y) Integritatis custodes recta sectantes Aug. de verâ Rel. c. 5. Orthodox Christians are keepers of integrity and followers of right things Of which the Church of Rome is neither 14. If then
