it Only before he engages in it he must remove if possible out of the way a frightful Word which a learned Man no Dissenter calls an Ecclesiastical Scare-crow p. 12. yolep'd Schismatick That learned Man for such all that have heard of him will own him lay under violent Temptations when he writ that Tract and was suspected to be what for ought I know my Friend is a Socinian For what makes the Man when he had demanded of me Whether the Dissenters held centrary to the Church of England with the Papists p. 5. begin with the Ninth Article Is it not that he may leave out what concerns the Trinity Art 1. The Eternal Son of God being made Man Art 2. c. Or that he would not disoblige the Papists by taking notice of their false Canon of the Scripture Art 6. If this be so verily Friend I must add another frightful Word to that of Schismatick and let you know that you are an Heretick But to pass that by how doth he clear them from the Guilt of Schism Why he tells us some of them think thus and some are offended at that And what is it to me what they think Should I tell my Friend what I have heard what Thought did I suppose he would be offended too but more of this upon the Head of Ignorance where I shall make a little more bold with my Friend Let us now see what my Charge against them was And p. 4. I had accidentally occasion to speak of Corah Dathan and Abiram and I chanc'd to call them Schismaticks becaused they caused a Schism or if the Word fright my Friend for tho' he hath learn'd to give bad Words I perceive he loves not hard ones made a Division in the Jewish Church and that was all I did not then tell him what I do now That God caused the Earth to open her Mouth and swallow them up alive that had opened their Mouths against their lawful Church-Governours A Judgment so dreadful one would think no Dissenter should ever forget it For did not these Men subscribe all the Articles of the Jewish Faith Not so much as one excepted Did they not conform to all the Ceremonies of Moses Law Yet in that they did not submit to their lawful Church-Governours God thought fit to make them an Example to all Ages of the Sin and Deserts of those that will not submit to their lawful Church-Governours But let us go on and it seems p. 20. I call their Conventicles Schismatical and p. 69. their Division Vnchristian For these five Words here is an Outcry made against me as if I meant with my Doctor to knock out the Dissenters Brains p. 7. which if they have no more than my Friend are not very many and therefore ought to be spared But hark you my Friend are not Divisions Unchristian I find one of our Lords last Prayers was That we may be all one Jo. 17.21 22 23. Or do not your Conventicles make a Division and so are Schismatical for I have before told you these are both one You that herein undertake to vindicate the Dissenters will in your next I suppose vindicate Corah Dathan and Abiram against the Lancashire Levite that hath made them Schismaticks and till that time I dismiss this Head We now may pass to the fearful Story of one Darrel a Devil-monger that purged out seven Devils at a time out of seven Women c. And this Man you say you will not vindicate p. 15. But the Reason I suppose is because you cannot for notwithstanding your Word you first close upon it and you observe 1. That the Relator of this Story is accused by the Learned Bishop Vsher as a partial and fabulous Historian My Friend should have told us where But he goes on to pass his own Judgment upon him and censures that Book of Dr. Heylin's for a Farce of Diabolical Stories and malignant malicious Reflections upon all Parties p. 15. I have read of a sort of Men that say Our Lips are our own who is Lord over us And such an one I suppose my Friend is For since I writ the Surey Impostor I have seen Dr. Harnest's Book against Darrel and if Dr. Heylin hath been as sincere in his other Collections as he was in this a more faithful Historian that was not Inspired did never set Pen to Paper The only thing that seems in any thing the least to discredit it is the Opinion of Bishop Hall to which I reply That that Great Man was but a Youth when Darrel plaid these Tricks for the Bishop was born Anno 1574. and Darrel practiseth with Katharin Wright 1586. when the Bishop was but 12 Years old and from her proceeds to the rest And the Bishop being born at Ashly de la Zouch his Friends possibly might be some of Darrel's Admirers and so infuse such an Opinion of Darrel into him in his Youth as afterwards he was not able to remove Besides it doth not appear that the Bishop ever perus'd Dr. Harnest's Book and so might retain his Prejudices imbibed from his Neighbours for the scarceness of the Book could make one guess that it underwent the same Fate with that of his Friends Surey Impostor is said to meet with to be bought up by the Party and burnt Be the Opinion of that single Bishop what it will I think I have the Judgment of a whole Convocation to oppose unto it and that in the Canon where my Friend finds the Popish Word Obsession whence he thinks it probable the Dissenters had the Word and not from the Papists And probable enough it may be so for the Dissenters finding the pretence there Censured out of that Spirit of Contradiction to the Church of England which they mostly act by may be supposed not only to make use of the Word but the Imposture also which is there condemned But let us inspect the Canon Can. 72. which prohibits all Ministers without Licence obtained To attempt upon any pretence whatsoever either of Possession or Obsession by Fasting and Prayer to cast out any Devil or Devils under Pain of the Imputation of Imposture or Cosenage and Deposition from the Ministry Now would my Friend know the Reason which that Convocation had for making this Canon I must remind him that the Noise which Darrel made with casting out Devils and the Imposture of it was then fresh in every Bodies Mind Dr. Harnest's Book which contain'd the Discovery of it was printed but three or four Years before viz. 1599. and this Convocation begins to sit 1603. and they judged it necessary for the future Prevention of such Imposture and Cosenage to make a Canon that might discountenance and suppress such Hypocritical Pretences What say you to this my Friend Where is the Dirt that I cast in the Face of my Mother p. 5. Could the Convocation condemn such a Fanatical piece of Popery as this is without naming and advising us of the thing My Friend is a Man
