A75511 An apology vindicating the Cavaleers from a partiall, or rather a passionate aspersion too rigorously put upon them for making churches prisons and stables. Wherein is discussed, disputed, (although not the lawfulnesse) yet (at this time) the unavoydable necessity of it. 1643 (1643) Wing A3560; Thomason E102_18; ESTC R11539 17,118 26

3._o three_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o separatist_n make_v his_o house_n or_o as_o it_o be_v say_v his_o barn_n a_o church_n i_o speak_v it_o again_o in_o the_o word_n of_o his_o calumniator_n for_o it_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v make_v apparent_a that_o he_o do_v either_o at_o least_o not_o the_o latter_a how_o ever_o it_o be_v not_o their_o constant_a opinion_n who_o bear_v that_o name_n that_o church_n shall_v be_v disuse_v and_o barnes_n or_o private_a house_n serve_v in_o stead_n of_o church_n only_o this_o much_o be_v true_a that_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v offend_v at_o the_o custom_n and_o humane_a imposition_n in_o our_o public_a worship_n they_o choose_v rather_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o their_o private_a house_n or_o it_o may_v be_v any_o where_o then_o omit_v the_o

be_v at_o all_o scandalous_a in_o propriety_n of_o speech_n because_o i_o be_o about_o to_o prove_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o cavalier_n be_v more_o scandalous_a for_o the_o scandal_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o nonconformist_n for_o so_o may_v he_o most_o fit_o be_v call_v unless_o you_o please_v to_o call_v he_o what_o in_o very_a truth_n he_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n be_v only_o scandalum_fw-la acceptum_fw-la a_o positive_a scandal_n a_o scandal_n in_o fancy_n and_o opinion_n only_o whereas_o that_o of_o the_o cavalier_n be_v scandalum_fw-la datum_fw-la a_o active_a scandal_n a_o scandal_n in_o truth_n and_o reality_n second_o i_o will_v thus_o be_v conceive_v that_o to_o any_o man_n that_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o his_o way_n the_o practice_n of_o the_o cavalier_n upon_o supptfition_n of_o their_o own_o principle_n touch_v the_o holiness_n of_o church_n which_o the_o separatist_n conceive_v and_o that_o true_o most_o false_a be_v at_o least_o ought_v to_o be_v ancount_v more_o offensive_a even_o to_o the_o man_n of_o their_o own_o party_n as_o have_v in_o it_o a_o just_a cause_n of_o scandal_n than_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o nonconformist_n suppose_v all_o true_a which_o be_v object_v can_v be_v either_o to_o the_o cavalier_n or_o any_o christian_n whatsoever_o the_o former_a be_v true_o scandalous_a the_o latter_a in_o a_o groundless_a opinion_n only_o and_o therefore_o the_o former_a be_v more_o scandalous_a nevertheless_o leave_v the_o indifferent_a reader_n to_o his_o own_o judgement_n touch_v what_o be_v scandalous_a or_o more_o scandalous_a i_o shall_v i_o doubt_v not_o by_o the_o reason_n follow_v make_v it_o evident_a ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la at_o least_o that_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o cavalier_n be_v most_o scancaious_a and_o that_o out_o of_o the_o notorious_a position_n of_o their_o own_o party_n first_o than_o one_o point_n of_o their_o divinity_n be_v that_o irreverence_n in_o church_n be_v scandalous_a upon_o this_o ground_n they_o condemn_v all_o such_o as_o bow_v not_o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n all_o such_o as_o receive_v not_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n kneel_v all_o such_o as_o bow_v not_o at_o the_o altar_n or_o stand_v not_o up_o at_o gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la etc._n etc._n as_o scandalous_a person_n whence_o i_o subsume_v that_o if_o these_o man_n be_v upon_o these_o title_n scandalous_a than_o a_o fortiori_fw-la much_o more_o the_o cavalier_n who_o by_o dishonour_v by_o pollute_v and_o unhallow_v whole_a church_n at_o once_o casheere_v all_o those_o observance_n the_o very_a neglect_n whereof_o in_o other_o they_o cry_v up_o as_o scandalous_a 2._o second_o another_o principle_n of_o they_o be_v that_o throw_v down_o of_o organ_n silence_v of_o cathedral_n

which_o be_v the_o know_v gracious_a practice_n of_o the_o holy_a cavalier_n 3._o a_o three_o position_n of_o they_o be_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o consecration_n there_o be_v impress_v a_o holiness_n
