A90688	Heautontimoroumenos, or, The self-revenger exemplified in Mr. William Barlee. By way of rejoynder to the first part of his reply, viz. the unparallel'd variety of discourse in the two first chapters of his pretended vindication. (The second part of the rejoynder to the second part of his reply being purposely designed to follow after by it self, for reasons shortly to be alledged.) Wherein are briefly exhibited, amongst many other things, the rigidly-Presbyterian both principles and practice. A vindication of Grotius from Mr. Baxter. of Mr. Baxter from Mr. Barlee. of Episcopal divines from both together. To which is added an appendage touching the judgement of the right Honourable and right Reverend Father in God, Iames Lord primate of Armagh, and metropolitan of Ireland, irrefragably attested by the certificates of Dr. Walton, Mr. Thorndike, and Mr. Gunning, sent in a letter to Doctor Bernard.

Wentworth and Charke and Egerton and others of the Presbyterian Ministry made privy to the plot to which they were accessary by their concealement Perhaps Mr. B. is not acquainted with those affairs And therefore to requite him for his care to have me very well inform'd about the Faction which played Rex in King Iames his Court p. 69. lin 32 33. c. for which he adviseth me to a book writ in elegant verse by Thomas Hepey if I am able to procure it for love or money I will direct him for information to a most admirable volume printed in the year 1593. and intitled thus Dangerous Positions and proceedings published and practised within this Iland of Britain under pretense of Reformation and for the Presbyterial discipline If King James did intercede for those mens release perhaps being then but King of Scotland he did not know the whole cause of their imprisonment here in England or he was not out of his wardship to those fiery spirits as he call'd them and so might intercede in complaisance to his Guardians however unfit for that office to a King of his Age or he was not yet perfect in his mystery of King-Craft or let the cause of his intercession be what it will he did many things of which he afterwards repented that they were done § 4. What Mr. B. is pleas'd to add p. 66. lin 19 20. of K. James his writing into Scotland that he would labour to reduce the Church-government of England to that of Scotland rather then conform that to England's is for many reasons very incredible First because Mr. Barlee tells it and citeth no other Author then the unwritten words of a Scotish Minister At every dead lift he tells us something that he was told be it of me or any man else Secondly K. James was so far from such a preference that his a version to Presbyterianisme was as great as to Pigg or to Tobacco Witnesse his words at Hampton-Court where speaking of Dr. Reynolds and other chieftaines of the party If this quoth he be all that they have to say I will make them conform themselves or I will harry them out of this Land or else do worse Witnesse his letter from White-Hall A. D. 1617. to the Presbyterians of the Kirk wherein he upbraided to them their ignorance and profanenesse and resembling them to the Heathenish Constable of Castile told them they would indure both Lions Dragons and Devils to be figur'd in their Churches but would not allow the like place to the Patriarchs and Apostles Witnesse his chiding speech in the Diet held at St. Andres when he pressed upon them to keep a yearly commemoration of our Saviours greatest blessings bestow'd upon mankind as his Nativity Passion Resurrection Ascension and Descent of the Holy Ghost the private use of both Sacraments in urgent cases the Reverent administration of his holy Supper the catechizing and confirming of children by Bishops much too long to be here inserted Witnesse his very angry letter directed to the Arch-bishops of St. Andrews and Glascow representing the wrongs he had received from that sort of men and saying He was of that age that he would not be content to be fed with Broath as one of their Coat was wont to speak Witnesse his other angry letter directed singly to the Arch-bishop of St. Andrews wherein he complained of their ridiculous and scornfull dealings with their Soveraign their greater irreverence towards God himself saying The Ministers ease and commodious sitting on his Taile they are the Kings own words hath been more look't to then that kneeling which for reverence he had required to be enjoyned to the receivers of so divine a Sacrament Neither can we conceive as he there goes on what should be meant by that Table which they required even in their private administrations to people upon their Death-beds unlesse they meant to make a round Table as did the Jewes to sit and receive it In conclusion seeing we and this Church here must be held Idolatrous in this point of kneeling or they reputed rebellious knaves in refusing the same they are the Kings own words it is our pleasure c. Witnesse his third severe letter sent with this unto the Councell for inhibiting the payment of stipends to any of the rebellious Ministers they are the King own words in Burg or Landwart Witnesse his first letter of indignation to the generall Assembly indited at Perth wherein he charged all the rebellious dispositions of the people who of their own dispositions were most Loyall upon them and their Doctrins minding them of his patience under their manifold provocations their slandering the truth of God they are the Kings own words by walking disorderly under the cloak of seeming holynesse shaking hands as it were in this their disobedience to Magistracy with the upholders of Popery still the Kings own words Witnesse his fourth sharp letter directed to the Bishops at the last Parliament which was held by that King in Scotland telling them they had to deal with two sorts of enemyes Papists and Puritans that they should go forward in action against the one and the other That Papistry was a disease of the mind and Puritanisme of the Brain they are the Kings own words and that the Antidote of both must be a grave settled and well-order'd Church in the obedience of God and their King Whereof he will'd them to be carefull and to use all means for the reducing those that either of simplicity or willfulnesse did erre Witnesse his speeches at Hampton-Court when he trounced Mr. Knewstubs for taking exception to the Crosse in Baptisme when he said of him and his Brethren I have lived among this sort of men ever since I was ten years old but I may say of my self as Christ did of himself that though I lived among them I was never of them since I was able to judge neither did any thing make me more to condemn and detest their courses then that they did so peremptorily disallow of all things which at all had been used in Popery Witnesse his words upon the third day of that Conference when he pleaded for subscription to the three famous Articles which the Church-men of England were to approve by subscribing namely the Kings supremacy the Articles of Religion and the Book of Common Prayer The necessity of which he did presse so home and evinced by three such excellent Reasons as he thought it fit to conclude in these words That if any after things were well ordered would not be quiet and shew his obedience the Church were better without him he were worthy to be hanged Praestat ut pereat unus quam unitas Yet how favourably he used them notwithstanding his Threats and how much mercy the Bishops shew'd them in spight of all their guilts and provocations many thousands can witnesse and have found too soon

P. concerning the judgement of the late Primate as to the controverted points That matter is ventilated in severall Letters to Dr. Bernard In the first it is evinced that T. P. spake safely of the said Primate on which side soever the Truth might lye and that the case of Mr. Barlee is very sad on all hands The same things with more advantage are evinced in the second The third Letter sheweth that the Primates Honour was advanced in the publication of his change The Aspersions cast upon the Primate by Mr. B. as well as on Bishop Overall with whom the Primate at last concurr'd The great Harmony and Agreement between the judgement of the Primate as it is lately set forth by Dr. Bernard and the Doctrin deliver'd in the Books of T. P. The fourth Letter doth make a parallel of the Primates judgement with the writings of T. P. in 13 particulars Then sheweth the inconsistence of the Primates judgement with M. B's in 15 particulars wherein is also included Bp. Andrews his vindication The fifth Letter exhibiteth the three Certificates by which T. P. was induced to believe and publish the Primates change the first from Dr. Walton the second from Mr. Gunning the third from Mr. Thorndike Vpon which satisfaction is required of such Calvinists as have adorn'd their Doctrins by unjustly usurping the Primates Name His Grace of Armagh is farther proved to have changed his former judgement by the Irish Articles concluded A. D. 1615. and by the late account which Dr. Bernard gave of it To which is added the Primates care that Dr. Iackson's writings might be preserved And Mr. Baxters Censure of St. Austin as unsound and against Scripture in that particular wherein 't is collected from Dr. Bernard that the Primates judgement agreed with Austin's An Introduction to the First Chapter concerning Slanders and other Falsehoods § 1. IN the whole Catalogue of Impostures by which the God of all Glory hath been dishonour'd Religion perverted and the World abus'd there is certainly none greater then the Dishonesty of the Tongue For in a direct contrariety to the principal Ends of its Creation to wit the Honour of God and the mutual benefit of man it is frequently imployed by some sorts of Factors more especially in the blaspheming of the one and in the ruining of the other Since the Iesuites and their Apes who at the first did but imitate yet at last were able to instruct them have made use of their Tongues to conceal their meanings although intended by God to lay them open there have been whole volumes written concerning the Mystery or Science or Art of Lying and a sadder confusion hath been made of the distinct est Languages and Tongues then that which was given for a Defeat at the T●wer of Babel God himself in much mercy was the Author of the one but the Devil in great malice was the first Father of the other § 2. Now the Dishonesty of the Tongue though of divers species and degrees by a generical word is called Falsehood which being singly taken is breach of Truth and joyn'd to witnesse is breach of Iust●ce and joyn'd to Neighbour is breach of Charity all expresly forbidden in that short Praecept Thou shalt not bear false witnesse against thy neighbour In the former respects it is no more than a Lye whereas in the later it is that and somewhat more Improperium a Slander But there are three sorts of speaking which are not literally True betwixt which notwithstanding there is a very vast Difference to wit a Rhetorical a Logical and an Ethical Falsehood Of which the first and the second may in many cases be very innocent but there is hardly any case in which the third will not be guilty And yet of this last sort there are degrees too For a Lie that is perfectly officious is not so filthy as a malicious one That is

betwixt this and that bear witnesse Reader that Mr. B. hath accused me a second time in print of saying that which is said by none but Ranters and yet he thinks he hath not hitherto a just occasion to name his Author But he hath not yet done with it nor I with Him I do assure him And therefore let us observe him confuting himself in his own defense as it were casting himself backward by trying to stand upon his guard W. B. Secondly I cannot but believe had he not publickly brought in a large plea for the innocency of Infants chap. 4. p. 25 26 27. but that the same front of his would bear him out in the deniall of what a person of true honour and integrity told me as having heard it too from his own mouth that he called a waggish lad of about four years old an innocent free from sin who yet I trow hath by this time committed some kind of actuall sins T. P. § 13. In these few lines there are many things most grosly false which in case they were true would be impertinent and absurd Before I shew the grosse falsehoods I will relate the whole story which gave occasion to this calumny though nothing but Rancor could be the cause There was a child in his Parish of 3. years old who being sickly and consumptive as his Physicians were of opinion and yet at that time the only Son of his parents whose plentifull Fortune might make them the gladder of a Son gave some occasion to his parents of very mournfull apprehensions I thought it my part as in many respects I was obliged to administer comfort in such a case In the tract of my Discourse I was led to say that if God should be pleased to take their child unto himself in the harmlesse Nonage that he was in they might raise themselves comfort even from this consideration that God had taken him from the evill to come and set him in safety as the book of Wisdom expresseth it God might speedily take him away for ought they knew to this end that wickednesse should not alter his understanding nor deceipt begu●le his soul in case he outlived his harmlesse years That this was the utmost I have more witnesses then one and I defie his Informer to prove it more if he is able Now observe Mr. B's prevarications of the truth 1. The child was then but 3 years old Mr. B. hath mounted it to 4. 2. The child was then very weak Mr. B. feigns him to have been waggish 3. I said he was harmlesse Mr. B. addes innocent and free from sin Innocent I might say though I do not remember that I did but free from sin I am sure I did not● and they that heard me will bear me witnesse But innocent and harmlesse are both of one signification When David said he would wash his hands in innocency and that in innocency he had washed them when Daniel said that God had saved him from the Lyons for as much as before him innocency was found in him when Abimelech said In the innocency of my hands have I done this when God himself said of the inhabitants of Jerusalem that they had filled that place with the blood of Innocents will Mr. Barlee complain against those expressions and say they were denyers of original sin If his person of honour will say I said any more then the pen-men of Scripture have said before me I will prove him a person of no integrity But secondly how should a person of honour have any thing to do with Mr. Barlee He that can let him believe it Or thirdly how unfit is Mr. B. to give his verdict of that child to whom he was concluded to have owed a shrewd turn ever since that child was known to have cut him with a Sarcasme but my words were spoken long before M. B. had found him waggish Nor doth he pretend that the child was then guilty of actuall sins when I pronounced him to be harmlesse but he Trow's that by this time he hath committed some such and why he Trow's it he is too bashfull to give the reason Fourthly be it so that the little Gentleman of four years old he should have said of 4. years young was somewhat playfull with Mr. B. as Mr. B. professeth to be with me did he think the Babe was of his match and fit to be writ against from the presse and in the presence of all the world to receive his Correptory Correction I have read the saying of Will Withers in Q. Elizabeth's time that if any man pinch't him he would strike him that stood next whosoever he were I should have quite forgot my reading but that I am thus put in mind If Mr. Barlee is once confuted or pinch't with a discovery of his inventions woe be to all the little children that stand in 's way But now fifthly let us grant him as much as may be concerning the Age or the ladderie or the waggishnesse of the child or my pronouncing that he was innocent yet what was this to the purpose for which alone with a secondly it was pretended to be brought Thus runs his Argument Mr. T. P. did say a child was innocent of four years old therefore probably he said that Himself was without sin and above sin and by his own power could abstain from all sin who is somewhat more then four years old How much better might he argue against Daniel and David who spake of Innocency in themselves then here he doth against me who only spake of another who was also more innocent then either Daniel or David Doth he not strike through me at the Church of England I am sure in the collect upon Innocents day which must now be called the waggish lads day we are appointed to use these very words Almighty God whose praise this day the young Innocents thy witnesses have confessed and shewed forth not in speaking but in dying mortify and kill all vices in us c. If Mr. B. did not know what Innocent signifyes because it is a Latin word why must my Front be therefore brought upon the stage I told him sufficiently what was meant by Innocence apply'd to Infants even in that very page which he just now cited viz. a simplicity and inoffensivenesse of mind He doth not reply either to that or to any other part of my plea for Infants but only shews that he is angry both with me and with a Gentleman of 4. years old and leaves posterity to determine whether the Infant or his Accuser was the waggish lad W. B. Thirdly if his publick and domestick Confessions of which he speaks do all sound a contradiction to or a cordiall retractation of what he formerly said to my Reverend Brother I am heartily glad of it for the good of his Soul and long I wish he may with St. Iohn continue in that

he fear'd it by so much the stronger was his opinion which set his fear at that pitch So that if he speakes sense his meaning certainly must be this which will be worse then if it were non-sense that he did think me well-nigh in the same condition with Simon Magus but yet he was not of that opinion or else he was of that opinion but he did not say it in those words Let him choose which he pleaseth his falsehood in saying he did fear what he did not or his falsehood in saying he did not think what he did And let him study some little Logick though it be but a System that he may trouble the world with not-so-many contradictions Above all let him not call it his godly jealousy as here he doth p. 12. to pluck the Tares from the wheat before the Harvest untill he is able to distinguish betwixt the one and the other But let him leave it to him who shall come in the cloud at the last Day to gather the wheat into his Garner and to burne up the chaff with unquenchable Fire When Mr. B. was pleas'd to charge me with Atheisticall Lucianizing and with the pouring out of damnable blasphemyes for vindicating God from the aspersion of being the Author or cause of sin I would ask him if he thought me a pretious vessell of election When he will answer that Question I shall shew him what follows § 5. In his c. 2. p. 12. lin 24 25. c. He saith he only charged me with consequential Socinianisme to his best remembrance in all his book Is not this a rare Christian vvho for so great an injury to his Neighbour vvill make no other satisfaction then to deny or to extenuate the crimson Fact and to justify this too with want of memory It can as little be expected by any Reader that I should remember so many pages wherein the Socinian is put upon me Yet by but dipping into his book I find him speaking of my Socinio-Grotian-Persian glosses my desires not to be accounted a Socinian in such a fleering way as doth imply that I shall be so accounted do what I can my d Atheistical Lucianizing and d Castalionizing which with him who brands Castalio vvith no lesse then viperous Socinian books p. 13. vvas to call me Socinian and very much worse unlesse he thought that the Atheist Lucian vvas a Socinian only many hundreds of years before Socinus vvas borne or that Socinians are all Atheists Again he told me I vvas nearly allied to the Iesuites and Socinians though novv he virtually confesseth I vvas no more like a Iesuite then himself like a Dominican and so by his logick he is nearly allied unto the Papists and vvhich is vvorse unto the Libertines vvho only built upon the Calvinists Foundations In hovv many more places he did asperse me as a Socinian I must needs be forgetfull as vvell as he He hints my erring about the very Trinity but holds forth nothing only dreames of a Manuscript and talkes as impertinently out of it nay a great deal more then Mr. Haddock did in his sleep At last he concludes hovv he may shew me another time justly suspected of Socinianisme because I read the books of Episcopius Castalio who are no more Socinians then Mr. Barlee for ought I know and I read them as little I believe as He. Or if I read Socinian books never so much as I know few men have read them lesse doth it follow I am a Socinian more then I am a Presbyterian because I read Dr. Twisse and Mr. Barlee By this way of reasoning Mr. Barlee may justly be thought a Heathen because it appeares by his Latin shreds that he hath taken some few of the Heathen Poets into his Bosome His signal ignorance of Antiquity as to the Canon of Scripture and the three subsistences in one substance I leave as I find it meerly for fear of being tedious § 6. In his c. 2. p. 13. lin 19 20 c. he talks of his witnesses in the Country how tender he hath been of my life and of my livelyhood giving this instance of his tendernesse that he thought me fit to be punished but not to be burnt as was Servetus at Geneva Yet 1. he defends the burning of Servetus who was not so bad as Mr. B. hath labour'd to fancy me For let them say what they please to lessen the guilt of that cruelty yet they are partyes and must not so easily be heeded as other men who are none If Servetus his book was so blasphemous why was Calvin so diligent in burning up the Impression which he should rather have preserved that posterity might see some competent cause for such a terrible execution Yet by the Providence of God one or two of the Copies escap't the fire and we are assured by peerlesse Grotius that in the Copie which he saw he could not find those things which were objected by Mr. Calvin What Melanchthon spake of it was meerly on supposition that Calvin's narrative was true And Oecolampadius was offended at the Barbarity of the Sentence Nor find I any thing pretended against Servetus which was so highly blasphemous as the making God to be the Author or cause of sin How well Mr. Calvin could tell his own Tale and how diligent he was in being the first Informer of his Affairs we may guesse by his Epistles which he writ to the 4 Helvetian Cityes for the gaining of authority to his new Devise Secondly Mr. B. complains of the severity which was used to Penry which shews how much kinder he is to Treason then to that which either is or is called Heresie And with how many sorts of heresy he hath been pleased to load me in both his books I need not here reckon either to his or my Readers Thirdly though he professed in his Epistle to be so sollicitous of my Fame outward safety as no man more yet he will have me to be a Sorcerer and to be ranked with the witches spoken of by the Apostle 2 Tim. 3. 13. ch 2. p. 42. again he chargeth me at once with Socimanisme and dimidiate Pontificianism p. 38. with my good friends the Anabaptists and Quakers p. 42. two sorts of persons to whom I am equally a stranger and more a stranger then Mr. Barlee with vehement pleading for the lawfulnesse of praying for the dead and unto Saints p. 44. Nay in the very next page to the place I am upon he seeks my sequestration by this Dilemma § 7. Either he practiseth in his publick Ministry those many liturgical knacks which he doth so zealously plead for or he doth not if the first he knows at what perill he doth it if the later he proclaims himself a timorous unconscionable Coward to all the world The Lord shew Mr. T. P. a way how to leap out of this snare and this the Lord

sworn to live in subjection and obedience the foul and horrid consequences of which most Popish and Iesuiticall Tenent I could easily tell him out of story were this a place for such inlargements I shall omit many things untill I am farther provoked and find it needfull I will only observe this once for all that when he labours to excuse his senior sym-Presbyters and Patrons whom he had tacitly accused of temporizing and inconstancy and receding from their subscriptions c. he saith they only receded from the Rituall part and in an age unceremonial What a rare Animal is this and with how healing a Tongue can he lick himself whole although his ulcers are never so grievous There is but one Article of 39 commanding a dutifull observance of rites and ceremonyes the rest are only of substantials from which when the party apostatizeth then all was but rituall you may be sure and they grew out of fashion that is the times did alter and like their ordinary Emblem upon the pinnacle of the Temple the men alter'd with them There is nothing more easy then to put soft names upon the ruggedst Actions in the world Drunkennesse is good Fellowship Euphoniae gratia fornication a Trick of youth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and so 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 every thing may be any thing I make no doubt but if Popery should reign amongst us in these dayes and should be as rigidly imposed as in the dayes of Queen Mary Mr. Rabbi Buisy would be the first at his Crucifix and his Beades and would say in his Defense to any man that should accuse him of serving the Times that he only conformed to the rituall part and in an Age ceremonial They are very unlikely to take up the Crosse who have laid it so heavily upon other men's shoulders But now that I and Mr. B. have taken our Turns in his Dilemma I must consider of a way how to shorten my work lest if I punish the Malefactor after the measure that he is guilty I loose as much time as my greatest adversaries can wish § 8. In his c. 2. p. 16. lin 18 19 31 c. he denyes that he intended a publication of his papers against a Manuscript called mine and explains what he meant by communi Presbyterorum consilio in one of his letters directed to me long since If I had not experience of his hardinesse I should admire how he durst to contradict his own eyes when he could not but know that mine are open that it is in my power to send his letters into the light I have them now under mine eye and do find my self threatned in the second as I find him boasting in the first vvhat publick use he would make of an Answer to my Pamphlet and what account he would give to the Church of God of what he had been doing against that Trifle I am also looking upon his third Letter as he directs me wherein his words are precisely these being a Presbyterian I affect much to proceed communi Presbyterorum consilio that is in plain English by the common Counsell of the Presbyters not by the common consent only as here he falsely translates his own Latin Did he think that consilium had been the Latin word for consent or did he wilfully mistake it or had he forgot his own words when he challeng'd me to look under his Hand and Seale Other men may judge as they think convenient but I believe his forgetfullnesse is the best expression of his Remembrance § 9. In his c. 2. p. 17. lin 16. he saith I make more hast with my good works then good speed giving this reason in the margin because my Correct Copie Sinner impleaded and Philanthropie were all put forth in lesse then a twelve-month He cannot indure to speak Truth though nothing is gotten by his falsehood Nineteen Months were expired betwixt the first and the last of those three books And what had he to do with that why must he publish to the world that I am industrious in my calling and that himself if he is able is not willing to tell twenty without loosing 7 before he comes to 19 But be it so that my books had come forth all in a day can that either better them or make them worse then indeed is Mr. B. an excellent Author who after some years travail to use his Phrase was able to squeeze out a couple of Monsters And however he tells me that I am not quick-sighted yet in the very same line I can see his Latin acutum cernere mordere and few lines before I can see his Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and whilst I see I pity both advising him henceforward to content himself with Dutch and Hebrew § 10. Whilst I am thus going forwards in shewing his Falsehoods I am arriv'd at that page where he is pleas'd to accuse me of the very same crime palpable untruths which I published against him and of them not a few but many threes saith our Accuser But here he stumbles at his own threshold and no sooner tryes to get up then he falls quite down First he confesseth that his three Exceptions were bare hearsares which he had sworn were no bare hearsayes p. 17. Next he feares that I had scarce so much as hearsayes to bear me out in what I said though part of what I spake was from his own hand-writing part from his mouth delivered to me from his own messenger on purpose sent unto my House who did not whisper it neither but spake it audibly to others and part from such persons who for number are more and for credit more weighty then this unhappy Recriminator can pretend to be Thirdly he tells us he will but touch upon a few of my supposed calumnyes without so much as mentioning a world more when yet he had told us in his Title-page that he had made a full Abstersion of all calumnyes hoping the Reader would forget what he had said in his Title or not read on till p. 20. or not observe the contradiction betwixt the one and the other or at least conceive a world more beyond the collective All. How impossible it is that M. B. should knowingly have omitted to accuse me of any failing which he conceived to be such I will briefly demonstrate by 2 examples of his willingnesse to make me guilty 1. In the conclusion of my Philanth I had written these words when some wagers have been laid concerning the Correptorie Correction The Printers officer by setting his letters so loosely as to fall out of the frame expressed it thus when some wagers have con been laid cerning the Correptorie Correction which misplacing of the syllable con which should have been added to cerning was demonstrably no other then the misfortune of the Presse and yet Mr. B. in his Prints thought fit to trouble his Readers with it 2. Whereas

which they owed to God under his Majesty whom they professed they knew to be intrusted with the Ecclesiasticall Law as well as with the Temporall whether all the premisses above mention'd have not been thus and thus as in the queres hath been expressed I leave to be determin'd by all unpassionate and sober men I will conclude this section with the observation of King Iames That in the margin of a Bible of the Geneva Translation presented to him by an English Lady he met with some Notes very partial untrue seditious and savouring too much of dangerous and traitorous conceipts As for example Exod. 1. v. 19. the marginal Note alloweth disobedience unto Kings and 2 Chron. 15. 16. the Note taxeth Asa for deposing his mother only and not killing her And how the Book against the supreme civill Magistrate was supposed by Dr. Reynolds to have been writby Ficlerus an arrant Papist which yet was proved to have been writby a great Disciplinarian whether Iesuite or Puritan it was not specified and confessed by Dr. Reynolds to have been applyed against the Queens Majesty that last was for the Pope the Reader may see in the two next pages Of what concernment this is to Mr. Barlee in particular may be partly judged by the subject of this section and partly by that which now ensues § 6. Mr. B. confidently affirmeth c. 2. p. 68. lin penult antepenult ult that Paraeus his Book upon the 13th to the Romans doth not at all treat of meer Ecclesiastical censures such as suspension excommunication c. but only of the lawfulnesse in some cases of coordinate states putting down of elect and limited Princes such as most of the German Princes are 1. If Mr. B. was ignorant of what was said by Paraeus in that his Comment he cannot easily be excused for being so bold whilst he is blind as to say that what he saith All those can tell who have seen Paraeus c. 2. If he was ashamed to own his knowledge of the Truth in that affair he should not have outwardly excused what he inwardly condemn'd nor have denyed explicitly what he implicitly granteth by so grosse a falsification For first it is as visible as the Sun at noon that it was not only the Comment upon the 13th chapter which alone is mention'd by Mr. B. but the whole book of Commentaryes upon the Epistle to the Romans which was condemn'd and executed as women murdering their husbands are wont to be by the wise Decree of the most learned Protestant orthodox Vniversity assembled together in Convocation A. D. 1622. And secondly it was burnt for containing such propositions as were unanimously judged and pronounced by that vast body of learned men 1. false 2. impious 3. seditious 4. subversive of found polity 5. insidious and 6. craftily threatning utter ruin 1. to all Monarchie 2. to the Faith and Profession of the primitive Church 3. to the writings of the ancient and holy Fathers 4. to the decrees of Christian Councells 5. to the Canon of Holy Scripture Nay thirdly the most wise King Iames as Grotius calls him who was acknowledged by Mr. Barlee at once an Orthodox and learned Prince was so far provoked by the above-said book of Paraeus that he commanded it should be burnt by the hand of the common Hangman Fourthly to shew the wonderfull falsehood and unhappinesse of Mr. B' s suggestions be it known that Paraeus did deliver these Doctrins in the book above mentioned 1. That the Bishops and Pastors by the consent of the Church may and ought to deliver up to Satan their wicked and unjust Magistrates if they are stubborn untill they repent 2. That the inferiour Magistrates being subjects have a right to defend themselves even by Armes against the superiour Magistrate 3. That private subjects who are not so much as inferiour Magistrates may take up Armes if they cannot be defended by an ordinary power 4. That subjects meerly private may defend themselves and their Relations against a Tyrant as well as against a private Assassin if they cannot implore the ordinary power nor by any other means escape the danger which they are in This may serve for a Tast of that renowned Presbyterian Now it is to be observed that when the question is to be put whether the chief Magistrate is a Tyrant ungodly unjust or whatsoever else it is which makes him lyable to Satan and to the sword the chief Magistrate himself must not be suffer'd to be the judge for he will never condemn himself but they forsooth will be the judges who have a mind to make him away both by excommunication and force of Armes Fifthly it is apparent from the premisses that Paraeus did treat of Ecclesiastick censures which Mr. B. denyed and not of coordinate States much lesse of them only which Mr. B. affirmed and unlesse M. B. did believe that subditi was the Latin word for Princes or States and that inferior did signify coordinate and that by tradere Satanae could not be meant an Ecclesiasticall censure what excuse can he invent to lessen the guilt of his excuses And if he anchors upon this he doth declare himself a stranger to the Latin tongue Sixthly Mr. B. discoyers his affection to Paraeus his Book by censuring the censure of that Famous University and by censuring me for approving of such a just censure As if the Book were more pardonable for endeavouring the ruin of Church and State then King Iames and All Oxford for sending that Book into the fire Seventhly that the burning of that book was ill resented by the party as M. B. happily confesseth doth help us vvell to demonstrate that though Paraeus was but one of the Presbyterians yet his partners and Abettors in the pernicious doctrins by him espoused were too many by too many Nor is that any wonder for eightly Paraeus was an Oracle to that sort of men much consulted and observed an aged Professor of Divinity at Heidelberg invited to sit in the Synod at Dort whether because he could not go by reason of his Antiquity he sent his large Descants upon the 5 known Articles which had not only the honour to be read in the Synod but to be printed even at large in the History of the Thing Ninthly the University of Oxford did solemnly decree that all who were candidates of degrees in any faculty should before their admission subscribe to those Censures of Paraeus his Book and at the very same time should take a corporall Oath that they would ever damn and detest from their very souls those Paraean propositions before rehearsed Tenthly Grotius the Great was of this judgement that if Paraeus his eversions of St. Pauls Divinity are once admitted for expositions no Government can be safe one minute longer then the Abettors of such Doctrin shall want Ability to Rebell Eleventhly Mr. B. pleads for Paraeus that he speaks against elected and limited Princes as if

have been calumnyes indeed First he made himself smutty and now with a char-coal he strives to make himself clean But never was any man fowler in the full Abstersion of a chimney At first he promis'd his Reader that he would write in a certain method but solemnly brake it a little after by declaring his purpose to quit that method and for brevityes sake to be immethodicall For above 30 years space he durst to lay down his life he never swore a rash Oath yet he swore most rashly not above 3 leafs before and no lesse rashly in his Correptorie Correction p. 174. besides that he swore the Scotish Covenant and another Oath besides that which if he did not swear rashly was rashly broken He never cursed if you believe him in 30 years but yet believe me he cursed himself Correp Corr. p. 25. and here curseth others c. 2. p. 38. and together with himself the chief men of his party upon whom he wisheth that myriads of Anathematisms may light if they hold that God is the fountain or cause of sin Yet he holds it himself in the very next page where he saith that God is the naturall cause of the mere act of sin and the accidental cause of the very obliquity of the act of sin p. 55. c. 3. He denyes that he accused me of assertive Socinianism and yet accuseth me often in the Great and addes rank to the Socinian He frequently called me Arminian and Arminius my Father yet he reckons up many things wherein he confesseth I do recede from Arminius and that irreconcilably and yet he feares not to say that I have all my Principles from Arminius I am but inclin'd to Popery yet am half a Pontifician or Papist nay a whole one He saith he never call'd me Heretick yet often doth it He pleads for the lawfulnesse of his railing and yet denyes his pleading for it He saith his Manuscript Copy of my Notes doth not differ from mine in any material thing and yet in the very next page he saith they are two distinct things and that 't is false to say that they are one and the same for substance He would not presse me to things which I was most likely to refuse to have my Doctrins tryed by and yet would be tryed by no other then his Senior Sympresbyters Grotius is often a Socinian and yet a Papist which no Socinian can be The same Grotius is an enemy to all Popish and Episcopal Clergy which no Papist can be and be a Papist He saith his Senior Sympresbyters have receded from their subscriptions and yet for all that that they have been least upon their Tropicks in these Tropical times God saith he is the naturall cause of the Act of sin and yet that sin hath no efficient cause Corr. Corr. p. 55. Throughout his first Book he was much and often for the way of the Sublapsarians yet being beaten out of that he declares himself now to be a Supralapsarian He sometimes commends me for extreamly gallant parts and diverse rare excellencyes and fine Abilityes and of a superlative wit yet at other times I am a wordy and windy man of a blunt judgement and fitter then any of my neighbours to supply the place of an Idiot It is frequent with him to slight my Arguments as if they had nothing of force in them and yet he confesseth that he is brought to an extremity to his very last Reserve of forces which if they fail the Cause is lost This I say he confesseth if he understands the meaning of his Proverb Deventum est Triarios If he doth not I cannot help it He confesseth that his passions against me are exuberant here and there and talks of giving me satisfaction but yet he boasts of his moderation and will not so much as accept of my pardon His fictions and railings he calls his Frailtyes and doth confesse they are great and many and that he began his first Book with a Confession of them and yet his whole first Chapter is not only to excuse but in some places to commend them He snatcheth severall occasions to tell the world that he learned Hebrew many years since and hath attained to some little something and from the 18th year of his Age to this very hour men of the greatest Note for learning and piety have given large Attestations to his scholarship which he ever writes with ll when they have not been sollicited to it by any thing but their own forwardnesse And again that the most illustrious Luminaryes of the Church did grace his labours with their unexpected Encomiums p. 2. And that some of the greatest eminency for learning and piety did in letters expresse their good Resentment of his labours thankfulnesse for his pains But yet in a grosse contradiction to the first of these passages he hath published two Books whereby he hath shew'd it to be impossible that the most learned and the most pious should commend his learning For if they were learned how could they be so much mistaken and if they were pious how could they speak what they knew not to be true Since Mr. B. hath so partial an opinion of himself and had such need to let it fly as that he could not forbear to say in Print that he is not hardly opinionated against himself and also shews what it is that hath done him hurt it will be a charitable attempt to lay that spirit thus conjur'd up and to mind him of something for his Humiliation He tells his Patron he saith not as a spaniel that he knows not any mere individual alive to whom under God he would more desire to approve all his Travails As if he thought that individual had signified a Man which every child could have told him is a generical word as aptly spoken of a Beast a Tree a Stone or a Devil as of any man whatsoever I had said that sin was quid positivum he saith I put an Apotheosis upon sin as if he thought it derived from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 pono unlesse he means that I made a God of it and then it is infinitly worse as I shall shew in my second part He calls me 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in such a way as if he thought it had signified a young man only For he could not intend to say that I am newly converted to the Christian Religion as the word importeth because he calleth me Apostate and Apostatarian and twenty things to that purpose So he useth the word Apostacy and writes it with a c as if he thought it had signified who-know's-what Nor can he excuse it any way possible unlesse by confessing he bore false-witnesse I did but dip by accident into his Correp

Corr. when I chanced to light upon this rare passage Heartily I can wish that you would not steer the ship you are one of the guiders of per Archipelagum through the main Ocean unto Rome it self It seems he thought that Archipelago which I mention'd in my Notes had been the oblique case of a Latin word because he knew Pelagus was Latin for a Sea And such was his knowledge in Geographie that he thought the Archipelago had been the Ocean through which we saile from hence to Rome or if he knew it to have been the Aegean Sea his mistake was more ridiculous in thinking that that Sea was on this side Italie As great a jest as that Preacher's who told his Hearers they must passe through the dangers of the Red Sea before they could arrive at the Cape of good Hope I need not speak of his citing Aristotle and Chrysostom in Latin because I know not what it may signify whether that he thought they were Latin Authors or met with a Translation at second hand It were well if he were able to write true English on all occasions as well as upon some Examples of the contrary are extremely rife in his publick works Whosoever shall consider how he prayes perfect non-sense in his Dedicatory Epistle and how in the end of his Postscript he is skipping for joy out of sense and syntax and shall compare what I have shew'd ch 2. § 17. he will say that Mr. B. was somewhat too lavish of his praises upon such an obnoxious and faulty self his faults being greater then those of Rivet of which the grave and wise Grotius took publick notice And in this I have follow'd that great example § 5. What he alledgeth to shew his learning for no other reason can I imagin concerning the Books in his study of which he proclaimeth unto the world that he should be loath to part with them for 150l ch 3. p. 126. lin 7 8. is as far from being argumentative as any thing which he hath spoken for his Doctrin of decrees or of God's being the cause of sin And though it merits not an Answer or confutation yet because I cannot imagin vvhy he should put it into his Book unlesse he thought it to be of force to serve for a part of his Vindication I vvill respect him so far as to make him a return by these degrees 1. I never did accuse him of having a cheap study of Books nor did I ever conceive it could be any mans crime Grotius vvas the Owner of very few Books he liv'd most upon borrowing the Books of others and that from the chiefest parts of Christendom vvhich having contracted into his paper and thence digested into himself he became an * animated Library or an * Ambulatory Pandect of all the best learning in all the vvorld 2. What he saith of his Books is gratis dictum neither proved by witnesse nor by an Inventary of the particulars and vve vvho are English-men do not like your Dutch reckonings nor is it the likelyer to be so because he sayes it vvho hath been found so often to give us the issues of his Invention The Boy in Horace vvas so known to speak falsely that vvhen at last he spake an important Truth none of the neighbourhood vvould believe him 3. He doth not tell us hovv much his study of Books is worth but for hovv much he vvill not leave them vvhich is only to tell us his great affection to those Authors vvhom he hath indeared unto himself by many late obligations But another man perhaps may be as glad of their room as he can be of their company 4. Admit 150l would buy a great study of books which yet I cannot apprehend if he meant to infer himself a man of great learning I deny his sequel For then the richest man living would have it in his power to be the learnedst Many Stationers are masters of much more learning then the best Scholars can pretend to but there is commonly this difference that the Stationers learning is without him the Scholars within him Yet the Stationer hath a mighty command of his learning as well as Mr. W. B. For as he bought it at his pleasure so he may sell it at his need and till then may hang it upon a Tack We see 't is very ill arguing from the Quantity of the Study to the Quality of the Student whose greater commendation were to have no more Books then he can put into his Brain Whosoever shall impose a Treasure of mony upon a Mule will not certainly enrich but load the creature But if he prized his Books to save his Executors a labour he should not here have put it in his Book of Abstersions he should rather have reserved it for a Codicill of Instructions to be annexed when time serves unto his last Will and Testament § 6. I must not thus insist upon the other like parts of his vindication and yet I may usefully represent them for many reasons by drawing up a short Catalogue of his escapes from the Question of Gods Decrees wherein will be seen his Dexterityes in finding work for the Printer and providing materials for a Book without indangering his Cause upon all occasions the very mention of which he had found by experience to be unsafe Hereupon he takes occasion because no good body would be so courteous as to offer it to acquaint his Readers with many particulars of his life which the publick-minded man would not have to dye with him Ex. Gr. 1. He hath been in this very Country well-nigh these fourteen years never behaving himself unchristianly ignorantly or rudely amongst many discerning gracious Christians amongst divers most venerable and eminent Scholars 2. He is averse from the very Act of writing fairly and slowly 3. He would not for 500l that other men should be put to it with Printers Correctors and Transcribers as he hath been 4. Of divers late years he hath preached by the hour-glasse 5. He catechizeth in his Parish as well as preacheth 6. His Carrier he tells us comes to him on Saturdayes in the afternoon and goes by ten a clock on Munday morning next after 7. A Bishop of my name to whom I never had any relation was wont to make clinches as well as He. 8. We must know at what glad T●dings his Sympresbyters would have jumped 9. He layes up an Article against me against the time that ever we may be so blessed as to enjoy Presbyterian Censures 10. He tells us a Tale which he was told by an Oxford Stationer to commend his Book for Orthodox because it was so little bought 11. A certain man whose name was Forbes a Scotish Divine was for above 30 years Preacher at Delph 12. And he did speak to Mr. Barlee in the presence of Dr. Ames 13. He was more then ordinarily acquainted with Bishop Davenant
