the second booke of Samuel when the Citty Abel was besieged by Ioab a woman of the sayd Citty demanded of him if he would destroy a Mother in Israel som will wonder that a woman speaketh heere Chap 20.19 vers but seeing that it concerneth not onely a mother but a daughter and a mother together I call faith and charity soe for the faith is the mother and charity is the Daughter but the daughter is oblidged and bound to keepe and entertaine the mother and this entertainment cannot be done but by forgetting ones selfe following as St. John speaketh in his first epistle hereby perceive wee the Charity or Love of the sonne who layd downe his life for us Chap 3.16 v. and wee ought to lay downe our Lives for the bretheren hereby we see that it stould be distroying the mother and the daughter to cause Charity to begin at ones selfe as one will make us beleeve this is the first point yet hath he others that are very dangerous and strange as when he doth preach that wee must beare with the wicked untill such time that God gives him repentance wholly contrary unto the Doctrine of St. Paul who commandeth expresty to put away from among you the wicked person Corrintians first epistle Chap 5.13 verse is it not a lamentable thing when he doth preach unto us that God was anger'd against his Sonne altogether against the section of the 10 Sunday al 's Sabbath of our Catechisme if Father had beene anger'd against the Sonne it must follow that the Sonne must have bin a sinner Isaih 53. c. v. 4. a doctrine contrary and Erronious against the stay of our faith our God was anger'd against the charge that his Sonne hath taken upon him to witt our sinnes I speake now of the 4 point upon the Natures of our saviour Jesus Christ he hath preached unto us two natures but not three and being assembled with the people to examine those which were to answer touching their faith they were warned to keepe them selves from them which attribute 3 natures unto the Sonne of God as if it had beene an execrable thing this happened by reason Another Minister through his greate prudence and knowledge for the safegard and salvation of the people had made a distinction and difference touching the nature of the soule and that of the body I speake not touching the divinity for I beleeve there is not such an Athiest among us which would deny it but I speake of the nature of the dying body and of the nature of the soule scuffleing and striving without Dying those that will either deny th' one or th' other put them selves in great danger of their salvation for wee must have had the one and the other to be fully redeemed he doth preach unto us alsoe that one must confesse all kind of truth altough it should be against ones owne honour upon paine of eternall damnation yet Gods word doth give us knowledge what kinde of truth wee must confesse a truth for the advancement of his Glory and the good of our neighbour alsoe when charity doeth require it but there is such truth that would be hurtfull if it weare knowne and also the word of God doth forbid it this commeth neere the Oricullar confession we have understood in one of his prayers that our sinnes do offend God but they do not endanger the king Chap 12.25 verse against which wee read in the first booke of Samuel the Prophet warneth the people saying but if ye shall still doe wickedly yee shall be consumed both ye and your king I will yet set downe a thing which unto my thinking is blasphemy in saying that God is a Robber Chap 1.21 verse Job useth an other manner of speaking in saying the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away blessed be the name of the Lord in the Proverbes the wise doth shew us that he that robbeth the poore afflicted the Lord wil pleade their cause and will spoile the soule of those that spoile them Chap. 22.23 verse by which words he doth give us to understand that the wicked shall not remaine unpunished and as such measure with he measureth he shall be like as wise measured with but shall our God be called a Robber therefore hath hee not at his command both the Robber and their Robberry without being called by that name a fearefull thing to understand these are the points which I have put forth to the end one should not mistake ownes selfe soe I will end and returne to my beginning which is unto the good deed of the woman because it derived from thence that Judas tooke occasion to commit his abominable deed if on these dayes a woman should commit or doe a good deed it should not be the cause that Christ should be betrayed Mark 14. c. v. 10. for he is no more subject unto such treason neither could that miserable Judas do it for hee is in his place it should be the woman then that should beare the punishment but what should be that punishment even the privation of the Sacrament and afterward excommunication but all this is not hurtfull unto the faithfull soule the corporall hand will find som hindrance therein but I will say with an Auncient Father wherefore makest thou thy teeth and mouth ready beleeve onely and thou shalt eat Christ it shall be the faith then which shall benifite her selfe therein I say that poore faith although weake and feeble being sustained by the spirit of fortification will be ready for this action shee wil keepe her 2 hands cleane the one to receive Christ unto her and the other to give her selfe unto him those two hands will have as much freedome as that which did write upon the wall I have heere written what I have said if one doeth say more they are false accusations but one must have patience to these things is the faithfull Christian bound these things have bin done unto the greene wood what will be done unto the dry those that doe Read this I intreate them to excuse mee untill the time of my Excommunication of the which I am threatned and then I wil write more if my God doth permit What I have written is not to dishnour the holly Ministeri to whom I am bound in dutyfull respect and obedience but I say that the word of God doeth command us not to hearken unto the Embassadour that publisheth not the message that his King hath enioyned him By me the Wife of MICHAEL le CLERCQ The Wallons CONSISTORIE and their SUSPENTION COnsidering that my opressions and greevances do increase from day to day by the furie of those that have taken me in hatred without a cause I would not faile of my promise because a while agoe I had given to understand the occasion of my troubles with promise to write more at the continuation of them but it seemeth unto som that what is written by a
