three Holies lowd doe cry Unto the Lord of Sabbothes majesty The Glory of whose majesty doth fill Both Heaven and Earth whose praise is singing still By blest Apostles Prophets Martyres and The holy Church through every Realme and Land All these doe knowledge him alone to be The Father of infinite majesty Whose honorable true and onely sonne By his obedience hath our pardons wonne The Holy Ghost the comforter of all Such as with stedfast faith for comfort call To this God Good and Gracious Glorious Great To him all knees must bowe all soules entreat All those that will not bend such power he hath That he will break them in his furious wrath 'T is well t' avoyd will-worship but 't is ill To frame what kinde of worship each man will When in the Temple we doe God implore 'T is God and not the Temple we adore The Priest did worship t'wards the mercy Seate And 'twixt the Cherubins our God entreat He worship'd neither Seat nor Cherubins But only God that takes away our Sinns And as on Sea and Land in every place With humble reverence we must sue for Grace So in his Church and houses consecrated And to his service only dedicated Wherein Christ Crucified is preach'd where he In Word and Sacraments doth deigne to be Sure in those places where Gods love is such All mens best manners cannot be too much For though we owe God reverence everywhere Yet in the Church it best becomes us there When we participate most of his Grace O then and there shew manners in that place The Saints in Heav'n doe kneele and praise Gods name And Saints on earth must likewise doe the same O come let 's sing unto the Lord rejoyce In our salvations strength our hearts and voyce Let us with thanks before his face appeare And shew in him with Psalmes our Gladnesse there O come let 's worship fall and kneele before The Lord our maker let us him adore This doctrine David to the Church did teach Which from those times to these all good men preach Only a new fantastick upstart Troope Of proud contentious spirits scorne to stoope I have shewd proofes and more I will produce How men are bouud unto this reverent use St. Paul repeats the places I have shewd That every knee shall to the Lord be bowd For there 's no other name else under Heaven But Iesus name by whom Salvation 's given Th' Apostle kneel'd and told th' Ephesians why To pray that Grace their faith might fructifie In Iesus blessed name our soules releife And life eternall doth consist in chiefe In all we say or doe we still must frame To say and doe with thanks in Iesus name Beleevers in this name with faith most steady Are sav'd and unbeleevers damn'd already This name alone was the Apostle's ayde To dispossesse the devill from the mayd That from this name no bonds should make him flye And for this name he willingly would dye Full of such proofes as these the Scriptures are Which to all people plainly doth declare That 't is th' Almighties Mandate and decree That all at Iesus name shall bend the knee And in all ages till these times and dayes The Churches practice it hath been alwayes And that amongst us this duty is not new But Queene Elizabeths Injunctions view Or else King Iames his eighteenth Canon read There by Authority 't is published Archbishop Whitguift if you please to note In 's Book which he 'gainst master Cartwright wrote Maintaines that all men must this duty doe Imprinted page seaven hundred forty two And learned Hooker doth the same defend In that rare Tract and Treatise which he pend Ecclesiastick Polity instil'd The true use there of Kneeling is compil'd So absolute acute and exquisit That all the Christian world approveth it Those unkneeling saucy Separatists Are often falsly called Calvinists For master Calvin's flat against their side And they are all from his directions wide He in his Institutions doth allow At Iesus name that every Knee shall bowe Those that will read may in five places finde How Calvin clearely hath declar'd his minde Madde Innovaters in their Consultations Doe nothing but cry out 'gainst Innovations Like he that rob'd himselfe and by and by Cry'd theeves theeves and pursude with Hue and Cry So these men have new fashion'd fangles found Which have from Scripture or the Church no ground Whilst we in our Church Governement doe hold Not any thing but what 's authentique old Yet vile Impuritans revile the State And Church when they themselves doe innovate Sure they are Ignorants or Hypocrites That are inspir'd with these unholy fits And with a heav'd-up hand and white of eye They 'le doe a man a mischiefe zealously And on religious points will stand most stoutly But in conclusion cozzen men devoutly These peoples braines are stuft with froath and bubbles Their concord 's discord and their peace is troubles He that can measure smoake or weigh the wind Or to the Peace the restlesse Ocean bind Number the Starres or Sands on Neptunes bounds Or take great Whales at Sea with hunting hounds Make Mountaines swim stop Rivers in their source Or stay the Sunne in his Diurnall course He that can doe all these hath power and skill To fix these fellowes stedfast in their will These are our Church and Ceremony haters That love to fish in foule and troubled waters Swift in defame their reason is their will And Will shall be their reason they say still To end this point they are a sort of youths Whose judgements still are farthest off from truths But He that in the Heavens doth reside Doth see their malice and their plots deride And though they rave and raile our State shall stand Supported only by th' Almighties hand And through the venom'd vapours of their spight Our Churches Government shall shine more bright Their errours have beene answer'd quash'd and quell'd And often by grave learned men repell'd Their causes have beene canvas'd and disputed By Scriptures Councels Fathers all confuted Ecclesiastick Canons Statutes Lawes Decrees Sense Reason all against their Cause All Institutions Orders Decencie And Ancient Custome tells them all they Lye But all these they esteeme at slender rate For they have vow'd still to be obstinate They'have beene refeld by wise-men grave and good And learn'd and still all these they have withstood Therefore they are unworthy of Reply From wise men but from such poore fooles as I To Answer their poore cavils they are such A Sculler 's fitter than a Scholler much I know two Enemies Gods Church resists The Papists and Schismatique Separatists And Shee alas like Christ betweene two Theeves Prays daily for their Pardons and Repreeves For why Betwixt the Romane Monarchie And the severe Geneva Anarchie Our Church disperseth her resplendent Beames As blessed Vertue is 'twixt two extreames For whilst Shee hath a biding in this
