Maiesty and vs your people it is and shall bee the daily and dutyfull prayer of Your Maiesties loyall subiect and old seruant Henry Burton To the Reader CHristian Reader if this Treatise may seeme to any to bee superfluous as defending that which noe good Christians deny yet considering how fruitfull these last times are in bringing forth the spurious spawnes and monstrous birthes of all kinds of heresies among which this of the Antinomians a most pestilent and pernicious sest is not the least which denyeth any further vse of the Morall Law to belieuers no not as a rule of conuersation as of duty to be conformed vnto and seeing also how many counterfeit Christians are ready do daily intertaine this Libertine doctrine which lets loosse the raines to all licentiousnesse as both the Doctors and Disciples of this Antinomian heresie the Sons of Belial do euidently proue in the practise of their lawlesse and gracelesse life lastly waighing how this Antinomian frye is as an enemy to true fayth and the power of religion so a friend to all other heresies now on foote specially to Popery seruing as a way maker for it by breaking downe the wals of the City of God that so Romes Troian Horse full of traiterous Engines and armed Engineers may finde the easier reentry for the erecting of their Dagon instead of Gods Arke I hope thou wilt not esteeme either my paines lost in writing or thyne in reading this small tract And howsoeuer there is small hope that those who haue already deepely drunke in this sweete deadly poyson will easily admit of any Antidote or Preseruatiue or suffer it kindly to worke vpon them so intoxicated they are with the spirit of giddynesse and I feare many of them iustly giuen ouer of God to a reprobate sense hauing fallen from the truth of the Ghospell once acknowledged of them Yet I doubt not but by Gods grace this Treatise will be a meanes to preserue all sound and simple-hearted christians in the true fayth of Iesus Christ neuer to be seduced by such spirits of errour and perhaps to reduce into the way of the truth all such honest-hearted poore soules as haue beene beguiled by them Onely this let mee premonish thee of that whereas in the fourth page I promise to affix the Copy of that letter at large which gaue occasion of this Treatise I haue since altered my minde for these reasons 1. Because 〈◊〉 coppy is very large 2. Because I haue set downe the substance of it in all the particulars throughout this Tract 3. Instead thereof I haue added vpon occasion offered when I had ended this treatise as a branch thereof a short discourse toucbing the Sabbath day the Morality whereof some haue of late impugned as not binding Christians in the obseruation of the Lords day the diuine Institution whereof they also deny So as if I haue not made good my promise in a matter of no necessity nor of much moment thou wilt pardon mee if J haue made thee amends in adding that which is of farre greater importance and benefit And if herein also I haue not in all poynts satisfied thy iudgement to the full concerning the Law of the Sabbath and of the diuine institution of the Lords day instead of the Iewes Sabbath I shall by Gods grace shortly giue thee further satisfaction in a fuller and ampler Treatise purposely penned in answere to a booke lately come forth which would vtterly euacuate the Lords day for the Christian Sabbath and reduce vs to the Iewes sabbath-Sabbath-day agayne Which will bee a worke somuch the more necessary by how much this Iewish Sabbatarian findes already many Maléferiatos homi●es idle and giddy-brained Christians to imbrace his booke which is written with Amighty confident and Gyantlike spirit as if the Arguments thereof were inuincible Jn the meane time inioy this and pray for mee that God would assist me in that greater worke and in all things that may most concerne his glory and the benefit of his Church Farewell Thine in Christ Iesus Henry Burton Faults in the Printing to be corrected with the pen.

Onely let your conuersation be such as becommeth the Gospell of Christ that whither I come and see you or else be absent I may heare of your affaires that yee stand fast in one spirit with one minde striuing together for the fayth of the Gospell This is indeede that onely thing worthy to bee contended for and that with earnestnesse And if those two mothers before King Solomon did so plead about the liuing child which yet was mortall and a sinfull brood how should the true Church of God plead her titles to that which brings immortality the blessed fruit and issue of the liuing fayth But how shall we know who hath best right to this liuing fayth One saith Mine is the liuing fayth and thine the dead fayth another sayth No but thine is the dead and mine the liuing As therefore Solomons sword deciding the quarrell gaue the liuing childe to the true mother So the sword of the spirit Christs word a greater then Solomon onely can determine who is the true mother the true Church to which the liuing fayth of right belongeth sith it is deliuered to none but to the Saints Nor were it a matter of wonder to heare the whore of Babylon the old Romish beldame to make claime to the liuing fayth as her naturall child which now long agoe by ouerlaying it in the night of blacke ignorance and supine security with her vnwealdy body become so grosse and monstrous with the infinite additions of humaine Traditions standing in stead

TO THE HIGH and Mighty Prince Charles by the grace of God King of Great Britaine France and Ireland Defender of the Fayth c. GRatious Soueraine this small treatise humbly pleades your Royall Patronage by a double title the one from the Author of it your old seruant who oweth all he is to your Maiesty the other from the worke it selfe being a defence of the Morall Law of God against the Antinomian Libertines in these daies who deny to beleeuers any more vse thereof And what one subiect can more iustly clame your Maiesties protection then this of the Morall Law sith you are not only by a proper title Defender of the fayth but by a common trust committed to Kings keeper of both Tables The discharge of which trust as it tends much to the honour of the great Lawgiuer who hath made you his Vicegerent to see his Lawes well executed So it is the maine propp and pillar to support and secure your royall Throne The consideration whereof when I saw these sonnes of Belial thus vndermining the Kings Throne hath prouoked my zeale both to God and to your Maiesty to write this simple Treatise For to deny the Morall Law to be of any more vse to belieuers or to be so much as a rule of conuersation or that they owe obedience vnto it in poynt of duety and conscience this strikes at the very root and cutts in sunder the k●●ot not onely of christian charity but euen of all ciuill society and happy vnion and communion betweene King and Subiects Head and Members For first the rule of Gods true and vnmixed worship commanded in the first Table is taken away Secondly the rule of all christian and ciuill duties betweene man and man in whatsoeuer relation they stand of equality or inequality Commanded in the second Table and all this with one stroke of cutting off the Morall Law from belieuers And particularly these Antinomians cut off all dutifull and conscionable obedience to Princes grounded on the fift Commandement wherein they being principall Parents namely of our Country all due honour and obedience in the Lord is commaunded to bee giuen them in the first place as of children to their Father Againe on the other side they breake downe the bankes that God himselfe hath pitched to confine the course of Kings whose hearts in the Lords hand like the riuers of waters keeping within their bankes refresh the Land on euery side with their sweete streames but being without the bankes of Gods sacred lawes how soone might they ouerflow and drowne all Therefore it was the care of the wise and good God to the end he might prouide for the hapy welfare both of the King and People to leaue it in charge to the King of Israell that he should haue a coppy of the Law alwaies by him to reade therein day and night Deut 17.18 19 20. to learne thereby to feare the Lord his God to walke humbly among his brethren to doe iustice and iudgement to the end hee may prolong his dayes in his Kingdome hee and his Children in the middest thereof But these Lawlesse Antinomians enemyes to God to Kings and States would robb Christian Kings of this blessed Booke of Gods Law that soe if they could strippe them of the grace and feare of God in their hearts letting loosse the reynes of all honestie and conscience they might vsurpe a gouernment after the lust of man not after the law of God and so precipitate ineuitable ruine to Princes and Common-weales For take away Gods Law and what law of man can bynde the conscience eyther in poynt of obeying or of commanding For though it hath euer beene a Maxime among the very heathen that humaine Lawes and such as were ratified by solemne oathes and couenants betweene Prince and people they held sacred and inuiolable as that Law of the Medes and Persians the Kings writing and seale c. Dan. 6.16 Yet the maine ground that bore vp all the rest was the conscience they had by naturall instinct of Gods eternall Law written in their hearts accusing or excusing knowing that God was an auenger of the breach of lawes oathes couenants such as were agreeable to his Law This then being the strongest ligature to combine the Head and Body politicke in a firme society whereby it becomes inuincible perpetuall and glorious these sonnes of Belial would dismember all Wherein they plainely shew who is their syre 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that lawlesse one whose Motto is Volumus et iubemus wee will and command which style Platina notes to be first taken vp by Boniface the third who first vsurped the Papall Headship ouer the Church So as casting off all lawes of God and man hee became that great Beast described in the Reuelation whom no law or reason can bound or limit accounting it a disparagement to his tyrannicall greatnesse to bee confined within the lists of any lawes oathes vowes couenants though neuer so iust and sacred Now the Lord Iesus so blesse your Maiesty that trampling this Antinomian Anomian heresie both syre and sonnes vnder your sacred feete you may long and happily raigne ouer your people as a tender father ouer his children while your chiefe care is first for the mayntenance of Gods pure worship without mixture and for the execution of iustice and iudgement these two being the summe of both the Tables and the supporters of the Kings Throne which the Lord euer defend from all Antinomian Anomian spirits In this Treatise also J haue occasionally proued the diuine institution of the Lords day our Christian Sabbath denyed by some And as your raigne hath beene honoured with a pious law for the due obseruation of this great Holy-day of Christ So I trust that this my vindicating of it to its owne right of diuine institution will not a little helpe to the better execution of that your Christian law Which that it may be more reuerently and religiously obserued both in Court City and Country to the purging out of profanesse and to the increase of all christian graces in your
