to your children because you thinke their names will make them good when as wee see these poore children being misled by their parents separating from Gods Church into Conventicles loose all Religion God too while they run a whoring after their own invention● and worship the Calves of their own imagination But again the name being the image of a thing you hence assirme that bowing to a name is bowing to an Image Ergo it is Idolatry tobow to he name of Iesus If this be your Logick God keep me from your conclusions You have I beleeve forgot bow a worthy Gous did of late vindicate this part of worship but I will beare with your short memory seeing you have almost spoyled it by hearing long winded Sermons But now comes another of your great arguments that the Lyturgy is taken out of the Popish Brevia●y and therefore it is unlawfull I can tell you that the Lords prayer is taken from thence will you therfore say it is unlawful Your Brethren do as good for many of them will not use it the Apostles Creed is there too but those Articles are now no part of your saith Turner is your Apostle but I am sure his Creed will never save your soules the ten Commandements are there too but the World the Flesh and the Devill are so potent in your affections that you will not keepe them and therefore desire not to heare them But if the Papists mix with our Prayers their superstrtious ones must not we therfore use the good ones The Divell confessed Christ to be the Son of God so did Peter yet our Saviour never blamed Peter for using the Divels confession Next you find fault with the translation of the Psalmes in the Liturgie for answer to this pray understand if you can that the Psalmes in the Service booke were never yet allowed of by any Papists but were one of the first translations since our blessed Resormation and authorized by Act or Parliament for publike Service This last which is the best translation was done by King Iames his Command and by him appoynted to be read in Churches and if they were as I wish they might be enjoyned by Parliament to that use I dare say none would refuse to read them instead of the old Next you find fault that we use Gloria Patri instead of praise the Lord It seemes you thinke holy duties enjoyned are unlawfull to be performed for what is Gloria Patri but praise be to the Lord Another frivolous Cavill you have against reading parts of Chapters as in the Epistles and Gospels he is a foole they say that can say nothing and rather than you will have nothing to say you will talke like a foole for tell me good Sir is it not lawfull nor commendable on such occasions to take those parts of holy Writ only as are agreeable and pertinent to the time and occasion If you will not allow a part of a Chapter do not allow a Chapter of a Booke for the division of bookes into Chapters was not originall but of latter times done few ages ago I will give you one instance more delightfull to your fleshly desires Why is your Mutton your own deare dish brought to your table by the joynt and not by the whole sheep and why do you cate but part of that joynt only such as you best like and not all of it you cannot give me a reason of one but I can returne it to you in behalfe of the other only this one excepted that this your trade of Pamphleting will not maintaine so great a table as a whole sheep every meale and two legged Mutton into the bargaine Your last and worst argument is against the Letany which you say is not the stumpe or limbe of Dagon but the head of the Masse booke in which you say are nothing but repetitions and a multitude of words as Good Lord deliver us heare us c. ridiculous invocations Magick spels and no beeter than conjuring Oh horrid Prophanation of true zealous devotions stop thy mouth audatious Blasphemer and blush for the abuse of those cries for mercy and short ejaculations for and ience at the Throne of grace Looke on Psal 136. and see if there be not more repetitions in these very words for his mercy endures for ever See also our Saviours practise Matth. 26. praying three times the very same words Father if it be possible let this cup passe from me Can you teach David and our Saviour will you charge them with vaine repetitions He that is wise in his own conceit is a foole but take heed pride goeth before a fall and an high mind before destruction You have great need to say one part of the Letany from all blindnesse of heart from pride vaine glory and hypocrisie from envy hatred and malice and all uncharitablenesse c Look I beseech you to an extemporary prayer of one of your own trib how many vaine and impious Tautologes have you there a dozen expressions of one thing crying good Lord mercifull Father gracious Lord c. three times in a breath to stop a gap and keep his tongue in play prophaning the name and attributes of God to fill up his non-sence and helpe out his dull invention Lastly tell me do you ever thinke to come to heaven by conjuring Can you come thither without the Incarnation Nativity Circumcision Temptation and Agony the death and buriall the glorious Resurrection and Assention of Christ This it is to cast most glorious pearles before Swine who will be sure to trample them in the mire You need no other answer but the whipping post or gallowes that dare defame the mysteries of Salvation But though you will call it conjuring it shall ever bee the chiefe part of my publike devotions and I will adde this to my private Letany From the numerous generation of Smects From viperous tub Preachers and their giddy Sects From those who holy prayers of our Church neglects Good Lord deliver me And now Sir having in some measure layed open the invalidity of your arguments I crave leave a little to rub you by the elbow for your jeering I perceive you are a carnall man fleshly minded you love Mutton well but cannot away with Porridge Take heed you do not surfet your selfe too much of your straight-laced Mutton it wil bring you to a Consumption and then good Porridge well seasoned and well boyled will prove the best nourishing dyet to restore your decayed nature You are I perceive a Cook too but no ordinary Cook for you never would dresse Porridge One of the Popes fat Cooks you are not for they put poyson in the Porridge You are then a leane Cook for your leanesse you may thank your Mutton You are no ignorant Cook but one that is well experienced one that knowes the whore of Babilon well and cannot abide her because shee is out of your reach For if shee were neare you would be one of her best customers having as good a desire to the flesh as the best Experience is gained by old age so it seems you are an old Cook and then if the name be the image of a thing you are a Cook-old But will nothing down with you but Mutton sure your stomach is very strong Your extemporary exercises are but raw meats full of crudities but you know where to vent them and no carryon will kill an old Crow The learned Clergy you wil not heare for they are Baals Priests you say But you love strong backed men as Potte● and Carmen inspired Weavers and soule-curing Coblers such as were Ieroboamb's Priests made of the lowest of the people I ●e ceive you hope to gaine something by their Calves But to return to the matter in hand and come to a Conclusion since I perceive you are such a great Mutton monger pray what part of the Mutton shall I assigne If I allot you the head you may thinke I account you a Sheeps head blow your R●ms Horne and assemble your tribe to a consul tation if the neck you will say I jeere your stiffe neckednesse The shoulders you are content to keep for Fryday nightsu spper with the helpe of a good fat Coney for your digestion The breast and loynes you and your Brethren love dearely But above all I commend unto you the rumpe and least you should blend legs with your sisters I will take the legs and begone Psalm 78.30 31. They were not estranged of their lusts But while their meat was yet in their mouths The wrath of God came upon them and slew the fattest of them and smote down the chosen men of Israel Levit. 19.27 Yee shall not round the corners of your heads neither shalt thou marre the corners of thy beard FINIS
