belieue our Church Regeneration is by infusion of grace by sowing the good seed it differs froÌ„ increase of grace perseverance RegeneratioÌ„ is ortus boniseminis the springing of good seed This good seed did grow in stony and thorny ground RegeneratioÌ„ is the individual act making Christians Increase of grace perseveraÌ„ce preserue Christians And morall perswasion cannot regenerate stony and thorny hearts dead in sinne Therefore regeneration being the individuall act of God bound to his Church by his owne covenant iudge as our Church doth concerning the baptized that all baptized are regenerate The grace of Gods covenaÌ„â— doth admit of noe Separatists for it did not separate but bind Isaac Ismael vnto God in obedience neither doth it separate but vnite the baptized vnto Christ As for the separating iudgement according to the mercifull decree of election who are the saved this belongs only to God to pronounce But let all Christians religiously pray and liue according to the grace of restitution and humbly submit their iudgments concerning the secrecy of personall election The Separatist sinnes against the 17. Article which sayth that Gods election is secret to vs for we know not the elect by their particular names He sinnes against the 35 article at the 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 10. 11. 15. 19. 20. 21. homilie For these doe charitably exhort the whole coÌ„gregation to obey and honour God whereas the separatist is noe freind of Publicans and sinners but the vncharitable accuser of our Saviours pittied coÌ„pany The Anabaptist is he whose purenes is a supposed birth without originall sinne And yet our bodies are parts of Adams nature that did sinne And no man was borne without sinne Christ only excepted His tenet is that infants must not be baptized Yet Isaac was circumcised the eighth day And to be circumeised and baptized are one and the same in effect And Abrahams Religion and ours are the same Gal. 3. 9. 14. 15. 16. 17. And therefore by a necessarie seale of the Covenant we must doe as Abraham did binde little children in covenant to God This Puritan sinnes against the 9 27 Articles The one affirmeth that infants are borne in originall sin the other that infants must be baptized If infants be borne without originall sinne then t is noe controversy That originall sin foreseene is not the meritorious cause of reprobation The sinner deserues the iudg intends punishment So 't is certaine that sinne is not the foreseene intending efficient of that preordain'd punishing decree And it is without question that Gods Supremacy may pardon or punish pro absoluto beneplacito only as he will seeing 't is the prerogatiue of supremacy he being supreame Iudg. But he cannot be iust in decree if he so reprobates but for sinne foreseene For the law was not that any should die in Adam if he had not eaten of the forbidden fruit and therfore this law in prevision transgressed is the meritorious efficient of reprobation The Brownist is he whose purenes is to serue God in woods and feilds He is a wildernes of purenesse His opinion is that Idolatry cannot be reformed without pulling downe of Churches But King Hezekiah commaunded the Levites to sanctifie the house of the Lord and to carry forth the filthines out of the sanctuary c. 2. Chron. 29. 5. And our Saviour whipt the buyers and sellers out of the Temple though it was prophan'd yet without any pulling downe he calls it the house of prayer Mat. 21. 12. 13. This Puritan sinnes against the 35 Article at the 1 homily which teacheth a decent keeping of the Church Loves familist is he whose purenes is to serue God as wel at his Neighbors charge as at his owne Omnia sunt Communia no one saith that the things which these Loue-Masters possesse are their owne but all are Common Yet S. Paul saith that he is worse then an Infidell that provideth not for his owne family If he be poore his poore purenes must not labour with his hands to get his liuing though he be a Mechanicke he must only meditate on the word Yet the text saith he that will not Labour let him not eate He in his conceipt is a greater S. then S. Iohn the Baptist and that he is in persecution for the Gospell and therefore Ananias doth sell his possessions that the poore brother may participate of his brotherly kindnes Concerning S. Iohn our Sauiour saith that he was as great a Prophet as any borne of a woman Concerning Ananias S. Peter saith that he dissembled with the holy Ghost Concerning this poore Saints persequution for the Gospell his punishment is iustly to be inflicted on him for abusing the gospell with his deceipt to maintaine idlenes His neighbour seduc'de to sel is vndone this is iniurie which must not escape vnpunished This Puritan sinnes against the 38 Article For this truth is to be beleeu'd that as in persequution the rich did releiue the poore Saints So in the time of peace all able men must labour to preserue the Common wealth Here note that Loues-familist in the 38 Article is called the Anabaptist and t is true subiectiuÃ¨ sed non formaliter The same man may be Loues-familist and the Anabaptist but to be formally the Anabaptist is not to be Loues-familist their definitions differ The Precisian is he whose purenes is not to sweare before a Magistrate yet this kind of swearing is commanded Deut. 6. 13. He teacheth that vnlawfull swearing is a greater sinne than murther God indeed is greater than man Hence is the compare But the effect destructiue is greater by murther for thereby mans life is destroyed but vnlawfull swearing cannot wound so deepe And God commands that the Murtherer die the death blood must be shed for blood he deales not soe seuerely with the swearer This Puritan sinnes against the 39. Article which teacheth that t is lawfull to sweare before a magistrate The Sabbatarian is he whose purenes is to preach downe all holy dayes Preaching the instrumentall directing cause to keepe holy the sabbath day he makes to be the keeping holy the Sabbath but Gods holy worship common praier is this keeping holy the sabbath day For preaching the holy direction teacheth holy worship common praiers to be the holy practise of that day to praise the Lord for our Redemption c. This is the sole principall end of preaching on the Lords day The Sabbatarians preaching is a Sylua synonymorum Tantologies Iterations His praying is too much brainsike babling His opinion is Labour thou sixe dayes therefore there must be noe holy dayes but the Lords day T is true in an vnderstanding iudicious sence Thus. Thou must praise God for the Creation Redemption Restitution and preseruation of the world To praise God for these causes onely the 7. day is set apart which is not the Iewes Sabbath the sabbath only for the creation But this is the day following when Christ rested from subduing sinne hell and death when

the Lord Iesus ceased from his worke Heb. 4. He then appoynted a certaine day by saying to day ver 7. And because Christ rested from his worke of restoring his kingdome to Israel in the same manner as God did from his ver 10. appointing the first day after the creation to be the sabbath Therefore the first day of the Iewes weeke the scripture calls and t is instituted for to be the Lords day for this is the day of Christs rest religiously to be celebrated with holy worship in remembrance of our iustifying sanctifying sauing victorious and trivmphing Redemption But concerning other holy dayes there were seauen together in the time of the law Deut. 16. Therefore when God was to be praised for preseruing Israel in tents when he brought them out of Aegipt c then the text saith not labor 6. dayes but keepe holy 7. dayes c. So when God is to be praised for the Angells good newes to the Blessed Virgin for the Natiuity of our Sauiour for his circumcision c then the Church teacheth not 6. dayes labour but to praise the Lord on the holy time appoynted This Puritan sinnes against the 35. Article at the 7. 12. 13. 14. 16. and 17 homilies For these doe teach the holy obseruing of feasts vnto the Lord. The Anti-disciplinarian is he whose purenes is aboue the Kings Supremacy Imperious Imagination His holines is the Churches greatest Authority and as good a Rule for to know the Reformed true faith as holy writ He is a strict obseruer of the law therefore his Religion is the best religion But our Sauiour teacheth that mercy is the best part of Religion Matth. 9. 13. And he neuer learned that Christs kings office is aboue Christs Priests office in spirituall things for as much as Christ a Priest died for to make satisfaction for our sins to God the Supreame Iudge who is Christ a king and that from this office of Christ a king the king is derived and that the Priest is derived from Christs Priests office This Puritans tenet is that kings must be subiect to the Puritan-Presbyters Censure submit their Scepters throw downe their Crownes and licke vp the dust of their feete Thus Mr Rogers in the 11. page of his Preface to the 39. Articles and thus T. C. teacheth in his Reply page 180. Thus the oath of Supremacie allegiance are broken This Puritan is an Arch-traitor His prowd holynesse sinnes against the 21. Article which affirmeth that Princes in their Dominions haue supreame Authority to gather together Generall Councels and against the 35. Article at the last homily which preacheth downe Rebellion and against the 37. Article which saith that the King is supreame Governour of Church and Common Wealth next and immediately vnder Christ in his Dominions in all causes and over all Persons Ecclesiasticall and Civill His tenet is that all Priests should be Equall But who ever gaue all Priests authority to ordaine and did exalt inferiour Priests and pull downe Superiors for that equality but Farellus and Viretus by Sermons two Geneva-Presbyters But by what Law Whence was that authority This Puritan sinnes against the 23 33 and 36. Articles which teach the lawfulnes of Arch-Bishops and Bishops Superiority and Iurisdiction This Puritan is an enemie to Church-Ceremonies as if Gods Ministers and his house should be naked without all externall beauty He saith that he is only for essentials at baptizing c. And yet Metaphysicall divinitie is farre beyond the spheare of his plainely and briefly c. For the Scriptures deduceable sence transcends his capacitie This Puritan sinnes against the 20. Article The Presuming Predestinatist is he whose purenes is an inspired knowledge that hee shal be saved by Gods absolute election He is so sure of his salvation as if he were now in heaven as if thete were no life in him but Gods essentiall glory This is to sin without feare or wit He considereth not that the World the flesh and the Deuill are such cruell and subtile enemies that they did soe terrifie S. Peter as that he denied with an oath that he knew the Rocke of Saluation and the other Apostles fled And pray thou Continually that thou enter not into temptation Thus the 17. Article teacheth thee And presume not that thou art absolutely certaine of saluation for in denying Christs soules locall descent into Hell which is against the 3 Article thou deniest a part of Christs subduing euill spirits and his triumph ouer the power of hell for this end Christ descended to the spirits that were disobedient in the daies of Noah 1. Pet. 3. 18. 19. 20. And thou seemest to deny that good workes are the striving instrumentall causes for salvation in that thou regardest not Examples of good life by abhorring Apocrypha scripture which is against the 6. Article Suffer the words of exhortation be not factious in the Church to mainetaine an Imperious ruinating holynesse to amaze silly people to gaine a competency by way of collection God hath given the tenth part in al Israell for an inheritance to mainetaine the Priesthood Num. 18. 21. And if the humane positiue law hath not made provision according to this divine law stay the Lords leasure till he shall assist the king and the generall Councell of this land to reforme this thing as yet full of difficultie If thou hast no Benefice faction can never bring thee any de iure but reformation may Downe on thy knees repent and amend and praise God Almighty for as much as thy Dread Soveraigne Lord and king hath spared thy life so long thou being nothing better in tenet than an Arch-Traitor Downe on thy knees giue harty thankes to God in that the Most Reverend Arch-Bishops and the Right Reverend Bishops thy holy and Ghostly Fathers haue not delivered thee over to Satan Maiori Excommunicatione cursing thee forth from the Church and all humane societie thou being a most contumacious Schysmatique It is not sufficient that thou deny that thou art any such Puritan for thy faction is visible almost every where in this land Downe on thy knees and pray for Gods holy spirits illumination that thy zeale may be according to the infallible knowing faith and that God may thus incline thy heart to our true faithfull reforming Christian Religion The Lord Almighty and most mercifull make the light of his countenance to shine vpon thee and to reforme thee Then the Church shal enioy her much desired vnitie In which how happy a thing it is for Brethren to dwell together for Christians to liue and die I desire you to consider I pray you I beseech you Even I though I am very disdainefully hated of you am so charitably affected I labour alwaies to the vtmost of my praiers and studies to instruct you with true sanctifying reformation and so shall till death remaine Your hearty well-wisher to solid Reformation GILES WIDDOWES 1.
