Obsequium amicos Veritas odium parit Flattery gets Friends and Truth gets Foes April the 9th 1680. LONDON Printed in the Year 1680. A Word to the Christian Intelligent Reader IN short I am traduced for a Jesuit who have taken my self this twenty years to be the greatest Antipapist in the World Who my Accusers are originally I cannot tell they that have thus aspersed me have made me the worst of Mankind Reader dost thou know a Jesuit Let me give thee some real Marks of a real Jesuit though 't is hard to do in this Age yet possible 1. A Jesuit is one bred up properly in Jesus-Colledge in Rome a place I never saw in all my Life 2. They are brought up to some Trade or other that they may the better insinuate their Errours this I confess I had never the Happiness to be of and so the more uncapable of gaining a Living in these hard Times though St. Paul was a Tent-maker as well as a Civilian 3. a Jesuit is always shaved on the Crown 't is true I have a Periwig and but little Hair on my Crown but yet I was never shaven there 4. A Jesuit will not cannot preach up the free Grace of God but he must hang his Pipes on some Arminian String by propping up the Creature in some Power that in his fallen State he hath not or else when he tells you of Christs Merits he minces them and tells you that Christs Righteousness and Holiness is by the Spirit communicated into us and to our Nature infused like the Heresie of old Osyander honest Calvin speaks of but he will as soon be hanged at Tyborn as to confess that it is the very Righteousness and Holiness that Christ as Mediator God-man wrought in this individual Person is by an Act of Grace given and by Promise imputed to us and received by Faith alone without Works wrought in us or by us And he cannot tell that Faith and Repentance and new Obedience are Fruits and Effects of our free Justification but he will readily tell you that they are Causes and Acts of ours preceding it or Conditions of it 5. He is a met amorphosied Creature now a Quaker now a Presbyterian now a Church of England man a Baptist finally any thing but a true Evangelist and that he can as soon be hanged as be he can pretend to outward Pharisaical Holiness well enough and says 't is of the Spirit yea he can be a Separatist too but to believe that Jesus in his Person and in his Room and Stead did all for him as to his Righteousness before God this he cannot swallow he is an old Pharisee in a finical spiritual pretended new Dress 6. He allows lying with other mens Wives if they please him and calls Adultery and Fornication but a venial Sin and when his Lust is hot and the Creature weak and tender of Conscience 't is no Sin at all 7. No Creature hath more Confidence even to the Extremity of Impudence than he for if it be but for papal Interest he can Murder Regiscide or commit any horrid Act with the Confidence of meriting Salvation thereby yea he can look another mans Wife in the Face and demand a Nights Lodging of her and if she deny him and detect him he can as confidently put it off with a Jest as if he meant no such thing really All his Confessees are his Children but especially if they be of the Foeminine Gender 8. He is very demure when he is about his spiritual Concerns but take him at another time he 's as apt to stumble at a Curtizens Lintel and at a Firkin if he miss the Tavern as any man living 9. He is very zealous of obeying his Superiour and makes it the chiefest Article of his Creed to be very obedient to them whilst in the Method and Course of his Life he horridly violates the Command of God Q. Whether some that look for Attention from others like Diotrephes be not infected with the Itch of the Jesuits 10. He hates Marriage and living with a Wife as his Master does Holy-water but a Whore is the best spoke in 's Cart at some times Farewel VINDICIAE VERITATIS IT was the frequent Cry of the Jews of old in their greatest Discrtions from God and his Covenant The Temple of the Lord the Temple of the Lord thereby thinking to blind the World and their Consciences with their outward formal Services and ignorant Zeal while they and their Children made Cakes and offered them to the Queen of Heaven and were found treading the Steps of Idolators proud Boasters fiery Zealots Oppressors Covetous Proud hating and persecuting all that did not pin their Faith on their Sleeves and draw their Measures from their Lines though never so corrupt and false Jerem. 7.8 9 10.18 Jerem. 5.20 21. Jerem. 20.10.11 Of the same Spirit were the Scribes and Pharisees in our Lords Days and the furious zealous Jews in the Apostles times Mat. 23.5 8 9 10 11 12 13. and to the end 2 Tim. 3.1 2 3 4 5. 1 Tim. 4.12 And of the same Stamp are many of our zealous and Jehu-like Presbyterians in this our day who would truly have done the Church of Christ more Service and the Lord less Dishonour if they had upon their black Bartholomew day conformed to the present times and he that varies from me in this Particular either like the Mole is blind or else like a K. is a Respector of mens Persons The Holy humble tender hearted and truly evangelically principled that have the Apostles Spirit Phil. 3.13.14.15 by what ever Names they are called or distinguish'd I truly
