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

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.

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.

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.

of Sin and amongst other the sin of prophaning the Lords Table such were once his words therefore See I beseech you the character that Mr. Prynne then gave of us and the contempt that now he casts upon us M. Prin Perpetuity p. 344 saith The Sacraments do never convey any inward and spirituall grace which may truly regenerate and ingraft man into Christ But where there is a hand of faith to receive them the grace conveyed by them Again Pag. 346. he saith The Lords Supper is a cause of grace to none but such as receive in a worthy manner Mr. Prynn in his Epistle and perpetuity pag. 348 calls this an Arminian popish Doctrine That the Sacraments do Ex opere operato convey grace to men or that the bare act of Baptism or receiveing the Lords Supper should of it self without any respect of the persons and of the Sacraments convey grace to all that come unto them so far Mr. pryn against himself Nay in this very Book Lords Supper vind pag. 58. Sacramenta consistunt in eorum vsu c. out of Ames The Sacraments consist properly in the use of them so that a Sacrament is not a Sacrament but in it's Sacramentall receiving it doth then an unregenerate person receive it as a Sacrament Doth he indeed Communicate really and worthily receive the Body and blood of Christ with all the benefits of his death and passion as Mr. Prynn concludes his long assertion of it pag. 39. for else if the unregenerate receive not worthily They receive not the body and blood of Christ at all and so Mr. Prynn's great talk amounts onely to a nihil significat Wee willingly confesse and imbrace what he saith out of Dr. Ames that was the world knowes far from Mr. Prynn's opinion as light from darknesse in this his tenent Our sentence is that the Sacraments have all efficacy in respect of grace which a practicall soul can have by any relation but cannot effect grace immediatly but by the mediation of the Spirit of God and of Faith Let Mr. Prynn shew us the relation and the Faith of an unregenerate person if not let him not write crafts-master over his so impertinent quotations Or will M. Prinn apply that his Capitall quotation out of Jewell to which true believers onely have a title to the unregenerate also By the partakink whereof we be revived strengthened and fed unto immortality and whereby we are joyned and incorporated into Christ that we may abide in him and he in us c. If Mr. Prynn affirmeth yea that the unregenerate are here intended he expressly opposeth Scripture Fathers and all Protestant writers that I have seen and as in some part I have cited If it be nay Then what doth so long a quotation of no lesse then two pages to so little purpose 'T is true Jewell saith the Sacraments do serve to aid and direct our faith But where doth he or any other Protestant affirm that they beget faith where there was none at all before Such a proof clear and full and backed with Scripture would say something but all other affirmations beneath that are but clouds without water and Mr. Prynns book but a Tree without fruit and himself but like a raging Sea foming out of his own shame and his partners whom I recommend to the perusall of the last Paragraph in his own Epistle to those who falsly and maliciously traduce calumniate and slander vid. Epist to his Perpet you see now how scandalous how slight how false and forged all these your accusations are you see they are but shifts to evade and colours to oppose the truth and such as do professe it and defend it they are but meer impostures and pretences whereby the devil and your own deceitfull hearts do labor for to blind your eyes and to keep you still in darkness to stupifie your hearts and consciences and so to set you in opposition against all grace and goodness that so they may deprive you of your souls at last Consider who and what it is that sets you now on work to slander and traduce the Saints of God and to oppose his truth and know that it is not the God of peace and union the God of grace and truth but the very Devill himself the very spirit of Antichrist and the enemie of all grace and goodness who out of some carnal wicked sinister and by respests hath put you on this service ask but your own breasts and the secret whisperings of your own consciences and they will tell you so And therefore though I have spoken somewhat sharply to you before to make you know your selvs the want of which knowledg is the cause of all your errors so now I do beseech you by the mercyes of God and by the death of Jesus Christ your Saviour And these words I say of Mr. Prynne in diebus illis I do heartily commend to Mr. Prynne and his fellows now in this day of their change and hatred against what they are changed from Finally I shall desire both them and my Fathers and Brethren to take it as my Prayer to God and Apologie unto them all what I shall only add as they may copiously find in the Conclusions of Peter Martyrs Tractate of the Supper and of Beza's against Westphalus My prayer shall be Faxit autem Deus The Lord grant of his goodness that the Church of Christ may at the last obtain both peace and truth as to this Sacrament Which I wish because the Lords Supper hath been so injured buried and deformed with lies impostures and superstitions that one would indeed rather think it any thing then that which the Lord instituted in his Supper which least we should reform the Devill the grievious enemy of all peace and truth hath sown so many opinions contentions differences heresies and contests onely not bloudy that humane reason can scarce hope for a consent worthy Christians But this alas is not onely our grief for we lay a double reproach upon this Sacrament for some of us rear an Idoll out of this excellent and singular gift of Christ and others that have little sincere faith and a conscience defiled with grievious sins without lawfull examination of our selvs do even usurp the holy mysteries The Lord pity this great calamity and vouchsafe us at last the Eucharist restored to his Church with the good use there of even for our Lord Jesus Christ's sake Amen vid.
