A93056	Holy things for holy men: or, The lawyers plea non-suited, his evidence proved insufficient, his foul mouth civilly wiped, and his arrogant railings admonished, and bridled; in some Christian reproofe and pitie expressed towards Mr Prynn's book; intituled, The Lord's supper briefly vindicated, (or rather indeed by him therein exposed, vilified, and profaned: and the conscientious ministry therein abused, injured, and affronted. By S.S. minister of the gospel.	Shaw, Samuel, 1635-1696.	1658 (1658)	Wing S3037; Thomason E946_2; ESTC R207597	33,401	60

and his Histriomastix yet you see now this Demosthenes hath the Squinacy Let me not say an evil heart hath deceived him but hee 's retained on the other side whilst he makes a wide mouth at us he bears the best affection to the worst case and doth now but despise what formerly he printed and professed I see it and am sorry that such great wits and great parts often fall into great madness magna ingenia magnas dementias and the greater age and height a man attaineth unto the greater and more dangerous is his fall when he lets go his hold Let no man therefore think himself safe but strengthen himself in the Lord and the knowledg and obedience of the Gospel Thinking still that he reads upon Mr. Pryn's books that which some found upon the Statue of Zenacherib Look to me and learn to be godly to be stedfast to hold the truth in love and let him that thinketh he standeth take heed least he fall And why amongst many reproaches are we so often and again in his book branded for self-seekers The man goes barefoot himself and yet planteth thorns hee 's made of glasse and yet throws stones at others A man clad in Birdlime crieth out against self-interest Shall I say Lawyer cure thy self Shall I cry out in a passion as Scaliger once did Hodie Proh dolor juris Prudentia ex matrona facta est meretrix ex regina tyranna ex matre noverca No verily good manners and better experience of some honorable persons of Mr. Pryns society and of many of his Profession have told me that worth and desert and nobleness deservs and commands respect in all The profession of the Law is good if a man use it lawfully but yet the Gospel is better and the faithful Ministers of it as low as we are are too high for the reach of Mr. Pryns scurrility and procacity Truly the Slander that Mr. Pryn is pleased to deform us with in the day of his sin and our reproach is such as neither would be alleged by the Divel nor wicked men for the very incredibleness of it For if we be self-seekers 't is we and not our office and zeal and Ministry Is it self-seeking to procure adversaries To rebuke reprove and reject Daring and confident spirits that are thereby provoked against us Is it self-seeking to put on the spirit of an Elias a Jeremy or a Chrysostome I have alwaies feared that flattery and self-seeking had rather been whelps Mr. Pryn's expression of the same Litter I thought that to crie peace peace and to heal deceitfully and daubing with untempered mortar had been self-seeking to say to the wicked by inviting or admitting him in his prophaneness to the Lords Supper it shall go well with him had been self-seeking If this be to bee vile and self seeking we will be more vile and self-seeking It is our zeal and honor and duty 't is our evidence of faithfulnesse in our Stewardship both before God and men But I shall follow the game no further upon this stinking sent that his Rancorous breath hath left but do heartily wish him a better tongue a milder spirit and if he be indeed better learneder then other men he ought to be the more modest inoffensive not full of ferocity rudeness giving such great just offence to the Church of Christ The Second thing I have observed in his book is his weak impertinent and failing proof which he bringeth for his grace begetting soul Converting way we know the Scriptures are indeed the holy and soul-establishing Word of God and proofs from thence sitly applyed are like apples of Gold in pictures of Silver But as the wringing the nose bringeth forth blood so wresting and forcing the Scripture extenuateth the Proof Mr. Pryn hath brought above 500 quotations into view about his opinion in his little Pamphlet but not so much as any one evidence given by any of them but a slight vapor he maketh of what some good men have granted that 't is possible that Conversion may be wrought upon some persons at the Lords Table p. 25. How poor a shift is this after he hath filled his book with with quotations as full as the Turks their ditches and trenches with their slaves and captive Souldiers to argue from what God in his Infinite mercy and prerogative may do to our duty what we must do I shall give you some Instances of his distortings and misapplications and yet by him conceited to be the most pat prest and convincing Proofs in all his book He undertakes to prove that the Apostles admitted Infants to the Lords Supper pag. 11. from Acts 2. 44. 46. Is it not a convincing proof and to the Purpose yet such kind of proofs are constantly produced quidlibet ex quolibet Again pag. 12. 38 39. he saith these Scriptures prove viz. 1 Cor. 10. 1 2 3 4 5 and vers 16 17. and 1 Cor. 12. 12. 13. The Lords Supper to be a converting grace-begetting Ordinance and that all baptized Christians ought to receive the Sacramentall seal of the Lords Supper without secluding any for ignorance scandall unregeneracy or want of saving grace the universality of all Christians have right to and actuall duty in Communicating together at the Lords Supper Thus doth he imprison the truth in unrighteousnesse who ever hath bin so confident as Mr. Prin to assert that none baptized are to be excluded from the Lords Supper at least who ever hath been so shameless as to bring such Scriptures to prove it as never had any the least acquaintance with his conceit He produceth pag. 38 another Proof from Joh. 6. 27. to 53 a good long Proof and saith that not onely most Popish writers wholly but all Protestant writers equally apply it to the Lords Supper and is not this his huge bold ignorant confidence when as Protestant writers declare the contray Must ad Loc. manifestum est non loqui Dominum hoc loco de Sacrament ali carnis suae esu c. it is manifest that our Saviour in this place saith Musc speaks not of the Sacramental eating of his flesh Of the same mind is Chemnitius Rollock and the later laborious Hutchinson The English Annotations Diodat Fulk and Cartwright in their answers to the Remish Testament Protestant writers that have the clear mind of all the rest But surely M. Pryn conceivs us unacquainted with Protestant writers or too lazy to follow him and convince his impertinent quotations Let any that understandeth judg whether those words Whosoever eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life be properly applyed to the Vnregenrates eating of whom I tremble to speak it the Apostle saith they eat and drink damnation to themselves Learned and copious Gerhard de sacra coena cap. 21 num 229 saith Dictum Johannis Cap. 6. 53. non de sacramentali sed spirituali corporis sangninis Christi manducatione bibitione tractat And the like I

of Christ and upon cap. 11. See saith he how Austin shewes that they that live wickedly are not of the body of Christ and have no salvation by him but those eat the Lord that abide in him which Hereticks Schismaticks and wicked Catholicks do not c. and upon cap. 12. 12. after many expressions to the purpose it is evident that wicked men are truly not of the Church for they receive not life from Christ they may indeed converse in the Church but they are not of the Church Upon 1 Cor. Chap. 4. 1. The Minister the steward should take care those that live wickedly he should shut them out of the family and when they be penitent receive them again And a little after Let him not withdraw from looking into those to whom he ought to distribute the Sacraments that if he see they be doggs he may drive them away but if they be pious and fearing God he may invite them and compell them Upon 1 Cor. 11. 29. Furthermore in the Sacraments there are two things the Word and the Signs when as the Word of it self cannot move the hearers destitute of faith and of the Spirit of God much lesse can these signs do it which if they be compared with the Word are not so powerful as it Buoer in his second book to Latomus blames those Missificks and Shavelins that they would contrary to the antient custome of the Church and duty of the Gospel prostitute the Sacrament even to any though they had no faith nor were no lively members of Christ And this saith that worthy man in causa est cur ita placent c is the reason that false worship doth so please men because howsoever wickedly they live and rush unto all wickednesse yet they shall be promised mercy from God see cap. 35 38 39. Saith Luther upon Gen. 9. Doctor in Ecclesia libere reprehendat quae cum scandalo fiant impenitentes arceat à communione Let the Teacher in the Church freely repreprehend scandals and drive away impenitent persons from the Communion Chemnitius in his Exam. of the Trent Council de efficacia usu Sacramenti 'T is saith he Luthers proposition in his book De captiv Babylon Omnia Sacramenta ad sidem alendam instituta esse And Luther saith he according to the Word of God required Faith altogether to the use of the Sacrament And further in the Examination of the seventh Canon after a large speech to this same purpose he goeth on in these words Neither is the efficacy of the Sacraments such as if God did infuse and imprint grace by them to salvation even to them that neither believe nor accept as some think and did in former times as Aug. tells lib. 21. de civit cap. 25. and as Paul saith The Gospel is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth and Heb. 4. the word profited them not not being mixed with faith So it may be said of the Sacraments those visible words ●●d Seals of the promises See the rest as it follows in the whole paragraph Beza is very copious against Mr. Prynns conceit all over his Writings De re Sacramentaria sub titulo 13 Quid sumunt infideles all may there read at large Os autem fidei quoniam soli fideles afferunt c. Because onely Believers have the mouth of faith therefore they onely take the very thing or substance it self and thenceforth eternal life But unbelievers eat and drink judgment to themselves because they discern not that is despise and reject the body of the Lord offered and have no understanding of it Therefore their condemnation comes by reason not of the body and blood of Christ unworthily taken for whereas they are onely taken by faith they are never taken unworthily but are quickning but of the Body and Blood of Christ rejected and contemned For the Bread and the Wine must not be considered as meer Bread and Wine in this action but as Symbols of the body and blood of our Lord hence therefore it is c.

The Word and the Sacrament have this difference That kindles faith this nourisheth that is like the Charter this the Seal that is offered to all and is needful to the Sacrament this not so POLANUS de subjectis Coenae Dominicae lib. 6. cap. 56. after a large discourse worth the perusal he laies down many sorts of persons not fit to be admitted amongst which impenitent unbelievers and scandalous seditious rebellious to Superiors covetous Brawlers adulterers unclean persons thievs usurers drunkards have their number such are not to be reputed members of the Church Neither are any to be admitted except first the Pastor of the Church hath tried them that they hold and professe the true doctrine of Faith c. read the rest at leisure 't is all of the same stamp I snip no patches here and there Zach. Vrsine aboundeth in testimony on our part against Mr. Prynne and his Adherents De Sacramentis cum Paulo ac totâ veteri Ecclesiâ We professe with Paul and the whole antient Church that those that are not the living members of Christ do not eat Christ Thes 10. 11. The Ministers ought to admit all to the Sacrament whom confession and life and the divine institution doth not exclude but on the other side they profane the Sacraments if knowingly they give to those by whose confession or manners it is not manifest that they are lively members of the Church or cannot keep the form of the Institution Thes 20. The Sacraments are Seals of grace they are Seals to the Word Thes 37. Seals of mutual obligation between God and us They do not confer grace its gifts but they seal what is conferred Thes 42. They injure the divine truth which would communicate the things signified in the Sacrament to wicked men which God doth plainly affirm in all the Scripture he doth bestow them onely upon believers Thes 48. See also his Exercitations 1 Cor. 10. from 1. to 15. To those that want Faith and Repentance the Sacraments are no Seals of grace but aggravations of punishment By these and many the like Mr. Prynne and his drifters may see how far they differ from this excellent Divine Forbesius Instit Hist Theol. lib. 9. cap. 1. calls the Sacrament foederis divini Sigillum c.

I have no more to add but Beza 's short Epistle to his Diallacton which I shall apply to my self in this work Pacem aliorum quaerere pulchrum est habet certam promissionem Beati Pacifici Sed vereor hoc dum cupide sector ne quod eis qui pugnas diruunt evenire solet idem mihi quoque accidat Illi dum aliorum saluti consulunt ipsi reportant vulnera ego dum id operam ut dissidentes redeaent in gratiam ab i●sdem fortasse nullam inibo gratiam Id si fit illius exemplo me levabo qui dixit si hominibus placuissem Christi servus non essem Vale ac stude Christo placere S.

A most absurd unchristian untheological erroneous if not blasphemous assertion These are but a few gleanings of that Harvest of his that replenishes his book in a most odious manner This is the colour of Mr. Pryns tongue dyed red in the reputation of the Saints Behold here the growth of ill weeds in a good soil Is it not pity to see Jordane fall into such a sea of Sodom to see a man in reputation for wisdom with the foolish Emperor to make shew of so many Spiders to boast the greatness of his City to shew the greatness of his reading by the badnesse of his choice Truly I never believed Mr. Prynne had had so foul a stomach till I beheld and loathed the filthy vomit of that book of his Far be it from us to study so base a language as to return railing for railing good breeding civility and piety hath taught us better Better it is and yet it grievs us to do it to spread his book before the Lord with the perplexed words of David Psal 10. This thou hast seen O Lord for thou beholdest mischief and spite to requite it with thy hand c. For Mr. Prynne himself I shall onely tell him as Austin Petilian Whilst he willingly withdraws from our reputation he unwillingly adds to our reward and as learned Beza answered That Cyclops Heshusius Illyricus Haec vero cujus culpâ eveniant vide● Dominus judicabit At ●e neque Deus neque homines nisi serio resipueris à tot calumniis foedissimis mendatiis absolverit God will see and judge where the fault lieth and truly neither God nor men will ever forgive such calumnies and stinking slanders except you repent And let Mr P●ynne remember that hard speeches have judgment following them And if to call a brother Raca and fool be in danger of hell fire to call Fathers and Pastors of the Church of Christ Liers Impostors c. bringeth the Railer into danger of something The praise that the Bishop of Lincoln worthily gave King James Funeral Sermon May 7. 1625. pag. 51. may be the inglorious Trophey of Mr. Prynne However he lived awongst Puritans and was kept as a Ward under them yet he despised their opinion so what ever Mr. Prynne hath pleaded for Puritans and Non-conformists and conscientious men see his Perpetuity in Epist

rushed him upon such absu●dities and wild conceits Scaliger tells us In homine docto tria omnino excellere debent morum integritas at que civilitas eruditio varia ac multa ingenium summum cum accerrimo judicio conjunctum a learned man should have intire good manners and civility various and much learning and a high wit joined wit a piercing judgment You have had Mr. Prynns integrity good manners and civility expressed freely against the conscientious Ministers before his multiplicity abundance of reading if his Scriptures had been right applyed in the quotations of places cited of which we have had a tast an unsavory one Now to his Ingenium summun cum accerrimo judicio cujunctum high and huge wit and judgment Where I wish I could justifie the latter as I can affirm the former But I hope this is but his disease of his fancy and some distemper and heat and not a perfect calenture of his conceit that may prove curable and that 't is not the very constitution of his serious and more considerate soul I do wish heartily for I loved him as a great Puritan a strict and regular professor he may out-live this discracie that is at present fallen upon him and be more useful to the Church of God then thus Yet to see and pitty the discomposure of Spirit that he is under hear the man talk a little and observe his strange kind of unreasonable reasonings and remember what the Spirit of God saith Eccl. 10. 1. Dead Flyes cause the oyntmen of the Apothecarie to send forth a stinking savor so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour Pag. 9. M. Prynne saith this position of some That to deliver the Lords Supper to such as have no pre-existent saving grace and faith within them is but to set a seal to a which cannot work any saving grace and conversion in them This position he saith is as false as God is true Doth Mr. Prynne understand no more of the Truth of GOD then thus where is non sence in Divinity and what is an impious Paradox Mr. Prynnes words if this be not Let him no more talk of untheological and almost blasphemous assertions except he will justifie the madness as Irenaeus calls it of Marcion and his followers that affirmed there were two Principles at first or two beginning of good and evil that were equally poised Else I hope Mr. Prynne will as the distemper wears off return to his former right mind And that he will live to affirm the great and glorious Truth of GOD to bee truer then the mistake of any weak and sinful man can be false 2. But that which aggravateth the matter is this That what Mr. Prynne saith is as false as God is true Is indeed a very truth according to God an undeniable serious holy truth Yet this must bear Mr. Prynnes brand for an infinite unspeakable incomprehensible falshood as false he saith as God is true This I suppose is ignorant bold and false enough And yet brethren this bold affirmer of alas he knows not what for I am angry at such palpable stuffe takes upon him to adjure us to acquiesce in his conceits and follow his advise and fancy in no lesse matters then in tremendis mysteriis in the managing and administring the Lords Supper Let Mr. Prynne give counsel in the Law with an honest mind and good successe wherein they say he hath good skill but God forbid we should no better understand our Theological work then to take our Institutions and precepts anew from him that though never so learned in his own is but very jejune and empty as to these great and holy things of our Calling and Ministry and is therein but like him that Prov. 13. 7. maketh himself rich and hath nothing In his seventh page he gives a very mean answer to another position that he cavils at viz. That Sacramental Seals serve onely to confirm pre-existent not convey non-existent grace This he quarrels at and miscalleth it a grosse Solecisme in Divinity and Law Corrigit magnificat nescit quid significat To confute the Position he tells us the primary p. 8. original most usual end of Seals and sealed writings is to convey and transfer new rights titles c. and their secondary end to confirm corroborate enlarge estates formerly conveyed How shal Mr. Prynne teach us in our Profession that falls short in his own For doth not experience teach us and do not as wise Counsellors affirm that the Seal and Writings are matters of Record that of themselves properly convey nothing but are a lasting memorial of what was bargained demised purposed and conveyed and on what terms before 'T is the act and deed of the parties concerned and agreed before that is the conveyance And if it cannot be proved that there was no personal actual conveyance as well as a Seal and a Writing Mr. Prynne himself for a small fee will give it for Law that such a Writing and Seal is little better then a blank and signifies nothing It makes me smile to hear him Romance it so gallantly in p. 14. and 15. where he relates how the three Knights Mr. Maurice Mr. Humphrey and himself kill'd the Gyant that still liveth At least he shews you the ropes of sand where with they bound him thus Saith Mr. Prynne Because preaching and hearing may sometimes work damnation yet doth sometimes work and convey by the concurrence of Gods Spirit faith grace and repentance so doth the Lords Supper likewise as he saith he shall prove anon or to morrow or never Mr. Prynne retains and constrains thirty or forty Scriptures to bear up the bedabbled train of this vaporing conceit but to prove it indeed I find not a word in his Book nor is there a word for it in the Bible But we are commanded to preach and teach to rebuke exhort c. and by such means and by walking like lights c. to indeavour the conversion of the Unregenerate And for this we have evidence of the Word and abundant witness in the conscience of many blessed be the Lord. But for Mr. Prynns conceit and his fellows of a proper work of Conversion by the Sacrament for all the rich flourishing applause that their own mouths give it it is but but a failing bankrupt conceit And pag. 17. he offers to compound at half a crown in the pound with a Why should they not constantly and frequently administer the Lords Supper to them viz. the Unconverted because some of them may possibly may probably be converted really reclaimed from their sins renued saved by it And pag. 18 and 19 hee followeth the same importunity Possibly saith he some may be converted by it and pag. 24 he saith 'T is usually and properly wrought by the Lords Supper And if he hath not proper proof for it there is none in all ●he Bible for he proves it from the Queen of Sheba 1
