A05604	The ansvver of Iohn Bastwick, Doctor of Phisicke, to the exceptions made against his Letany by a learned gentleman which is annexed to the Letany it selfe, as articles superadditionall against the prelats. In the vvhich there is, a full, demonstration and proof of the reall absence of Christ in the sacrament of the Lords Supper, with the vanity and impiety of the consecreation of temples churches and chapples, also the necessity of the perpetuall motion and circulation of worship if men be bound to bow the knees at the name of Iesus. This is to follow the Letany as a second part thereof.; Litany. Part 2	Bastwick, John, 1593-1654.	1637 (1637)	STC 1573; ESTC S104507	58,976	32

pursuivant_n themselves_o often_o brag_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o master_n attendance_n and_o in_o such_o ample_a manner_n as_o i_o think_v the_o king_n majesty_n have_v not_o common_o great_a and_o therefore_o that_o can_v be_v deny_v which_o be_v daily_o practise_v and_o for_o their_o servant_n insolency_n i_o have_v frequent_o both_o see_v it_o and_o feel_v it_o now_o whereas_o you_o think_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v will_n take_v that_o i_o call_v bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n antichrists_n little_a toe_n and_o in_o my_o litany_n desire_v deliverahce_n from_o they_o and_o withal_o seem_v to_o accuse_v they_o of_o incontinency_n all_o which_o you_o think_v will_v be_v censure_v of_o unad_a visednes_n at_o least_o if_o not_o think_v scandalous_a and_o punishable_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o by_o bishop_n i_o understand_v the_o prelate_n and_o by_o priest_n their_o own_o creature_n a_o generation_n unknown_a in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o deacon_n the_o under_o priest_n in_o this_o kingdom_n officer_n of_o which_o the_o scripture_n know_v nothing_o likewise_o for_o the_o deacon_n such_o as_o the_o church_n choose_v and_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o apostel_n they_o be_v man_n of_o gravity_n full_a of_o faith_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o good_a government_n and_o honesty_n and_o be_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o distribute_v the_o liberalitye_n of_o the_o saint_n among_o the_o poor_a indigent_a and_o necessitate_a brethren_n now_o i_o know_v never_o a_o deacon_n in_o england_n either_o guilty_a of_o any_o of_o those_o virtue_n before_o specify_v or_o that_o be_v ever_o employ_v in_o that_o office_n or_o be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o poor_a or_o take_v the_o least_o care_n of_o they_o who_o ordinary_o they_o trample_v upon_o and_o most_o reproachful_o abuse_v with_o the_o name_n of_o rascality_n so_o that_o such_o deacon_n as_o i_o pray_v against_o be_v limb_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o inferior_a order_n of_o shaveling_n &_o such_o as_o ought_v to_o be_v spew_v out_o of_o the_o church_n as_o profitable_a for_o nothing_o but_o the_o increase_n of_o wickedness_n and_o for_o bishop_n such_o as_o god_n appoint_v i_o honour_v they_o and_o will_v maintain_v their_o dignity_n to_o the_o last_o drop_n of_o my_o blood_n so_o far_o i_o be_o from_o pray_v against_o such_o neither_o do_v i_o ever_o speak_v unreverent_o against_o the_o king_n bishop_n and_o those_o that_o be_v appoint_v as_o a_o

statute_n of_o the_o kingdom_n they_o be_v proclaim_v to_o be_v and_o by_o the_o defender_n of_o their_o proceed_n in_o their_o ecclesiastical_a court_n who_o in_o a_o book_n set_v forth_o by_o their_o common_a consent_n do_v conclude_v all_o those_o in_o a_o praemunire_n that_o challenge_v their_o authority_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la as_o the_o pope_n and_o clergy_n of_o rome_n which_o at_o this_o time_n they_o do_v and_o for_o your_o better_a satisfaction_n look_v in_o the_o apology_n for_o proceed_n in_o court_n ecclesiastical_a a_o book_n make_v by_o the_o prelate_n own_o creature_n and_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n you_o shall_v see_v all_o the_o prelate_n by_o their_o own_o witness_n in_o a_o praemunire_n and_o delinquent_n against_o his_o majesty_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o contumacy_n and_o true_o i_o think_v there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o affront_n put_v upon_o regal_a dignity_n as_o on_o that_o day_n i_o be_v censure_v never_o such_o dishonour_n put_v upon_o

call_v they_o antichrists_n little_a toe_n and_o to_o pray_v against_o they_o for_o they_o be_v as_o disperat_o impious_a &_o equal_o to_o be_v detest_v of_o all_o such_o as_o true_o fear_v the_o

tell_v you_o that_o day_n proceed_n you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o howsoever_o they_o have_v feign_v some_o trivial_a article_n against_o i_o they_o be_v all_o by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o court_n think_v so_o poor_a as_o they_o open_o aver_v they_o will_v not_o condemn_v i_o for_o they_o &_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o because_o those_o that_o have_v swear_v to_o they_o be_v

i_o look_v for_o favour_n and_o assistance_n in_o this_o combat_n from_o the_o prelate_n never_o suspect_v that_o they_o will_v have_v be_v my_o enemy_n for_o this_o endeavour_n especial_o i_o have_v

the_o most_o part_v not_o only_o the_o pope_n knight_n i_o mean_v fir_n johns_n bachelor_n of_o wicked_a art_n but_o master_n of_o the_o black_a and_o devilish_a art_n of_o deceive_v i_o say_v they_o
