Epist 59. London Printed for Tho. Parkhurst at the three Crowns at the lower end of Cheapside over-against the great Conduit 1658. TO THE CHRISTIAN READER And more especially to Mr Will. Prynne Esquire A While since I met an absurd ignorant Pamphlet under the name of one Dr Swadlin pleading for a Promiscuous receiving the Lords Supper by promiscuous sinners a Term as new as unsound and silly I meant to have said somewhat to his madness But perceiving by a later Pamphlet of his own that he is Fame infamia periturus and that 't is likely he writeth such trifles to get a miserable living I waved him not thinking it strange to read what I found there because they were his Neither hath it cost me any great expence of patience to hear such a Spittler as Joh. Spittlehouse in name and deed call us Judasses and all the ill-names that his worse heart hath invented and his loathsome throat spit forth against us Neither have I regarded the ignorant blarings of so base and silly an Almanack-maker as Will Lilly not worth his worthless profession I can as easily slight the ravings of Papists Anabaptists and pitiful Jesuited Quakers as the Lion the bawlings and yappings of a little Cur But to see a petty-martyr an old Professor and a learned one even a Mr. Prynne to fall from his own stedfastness to behold him watching over us like a Leopard and helping the Sons of Lot and hear him even him using as Mr. John Goodwin called it the very language of Dragons against us this grievs once for all and sick as I am I cannot but say to him as dying Caesar to his Brutus Etiam tu Prynne What is our Saul amongst such Prophets even such Prophets as the old Prophet was 1 Kings 13. will he bring us into a praemunire against God and our high trust and calling whilst he tells us a fair tale of what is our duty to do and indure when we find not one word for it in our Commission When I first saw Mr. Prynns book of the Lords Supper vindicated in the Title which came to my hand some few daies since I beheld it with such a spirit as Paul the Athenians Altar to the Unknown God for I perceive Mr. Prynne doth adore a conceit of he knows not what whilst under the Inscription of Vindication hee defameth profaneth and prostituteth the blessed Sacrament Therefore whilst he gives the empty name of a Vindication to his book let him give me leave to do the thing to vindicate the Lords Supper indeed from all wicked unholy bold intruders and usurpers and wherein he ignorantly mistakes himself I will declare unto him if he Please to trust me as willingly in mine as I would him in his Profession In his Book I am very sensible of his change of Spirit since he wrote his useful Book of the Perpetuity of the regenerate had some man then shewed him such a Book as this of his and fo●etold him You shall one day write thus he would have cried out What am I a Dogg that I should do such a thing Then he would have plucked out his eies for the godly Ministers zealous of Reformation but now they are become his enemies because we tell him the Truth And hereunto I cannot but note his fury railing impertinencies and false principles in his book and have laid down better not from my own judgment but from former and later judicious sound Divines at home and abroad I have also observ'd his pomp and confidence the matter and form of his whole book and to satisfie my self I have dared gently to prick his ratling full blown bladder to consider the paint of this Butterfly the feather of this Ostrich or rather the squallid wings of this flitter-mouse whereby I can easily judge according to the old rule Qui se habet pro sapiente hunc Deus homines habent pro ignaro For the profest refutation of the Book I do not look upon it as my work I know the Lawyer hath learned and pious Antagonists with whom I number not my self in point of ability yet a smal measure might be sufficient to answer 100 such Pamphlets or any other that I have had the trouble to see upon their subject My present writing and further I never intend is onely to enter my dissent and protest and not without good evidence to the truth against Mr. Pryns erroneous conceit for which I am grieved and for the reproaches he casts upon conscientious Ministers for the reproaches of those that reproached them are fallen upon me whilst our enemies rejoice that they have found our friend and Brother to be an Executioner rather to grieve then torment us that they have gotten our Demosthenes to write angry Philippicks against us even our own Prynne to implead us and open his mouth against us with a tongue of falshood and compasse us about with words of hatred and fight against us without a cause for our love he is our adversary but we give our selves unto praier vide Psal 109. and our praiers return into our own bosome our hearts are fortified his spittings upon us are wiped off and soul-establishing consolations and promises are applied to the condition calling and person of every godly Minister They shall fight against thee but they shall not prevail against the for I am with thee saith the Lord to deliver thee Jer. 1. 19. In nothing terrified by your adversaries which to them is an evident token of perdition but to you of salvation and that of God Phil 1. 28 vide Genev. Bezae not as I know thy works behold I have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and not denied my name Behold I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan which say they are Jews and are not but do lie Behold I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have
