A relation of Heresies describing the Original Ring-leaders of the same the time when they first bgan to spread with a discovery of those described in our times and first of the Jesuits THE Originall of these was one Loyola a Spanish souldier they beare the name of Jesus but came from the Devil the Father of Lyes This Order was confirmed by Paul the third Bishop of Rome in Anno 1540. Their Errours are many but the chief are these viz. 1 They presumptuously arrogate to themselves the name of Jesus a name above all names and their chief generall equall with Christ 2 These chiefly maintain the Popes temporall power as well as his Spiritual whereby he may depose Kings 3 They deny the oath of allegeance 4 They do not teach it to be lawfull to murther Christian Kings but meritorious also 5 the Jesuits teach and maintain that the Pope only is Jure Divino a Bishop that all others hold from him Socinians Socinianisme was so named from Lelius Socinus in Master Calvins time his opinions broached by letters First concerning God 1 That there is no naturall knowledge of God whereby to instant men to acknowledge or beleeve the Deity 1 That the Incarnation of Christ is repugnant to reason can no way sufficiently be proved out of Scripture 3 That Christ is not truly God and that the belief of his Divine nature is not agreeable to Scripture 4 That Christ did not by his death satisfie for our sins 5 That the Holy ghost is not God 6 That it is repugnant to the word of God to believe three persons and one God 7 That man in the state of innocencie was not created in originall righteousnesse 8 That the old Testament is not necessary for a Christian man though it may be profitably read Arminians So called from James Arminius of Leydon in the Low countreys in the year 1605. The errours concerning Prdestination 1 THat in compleat and not peremptory Election of singular persons is made by reason of foreseen faith repentance sanctity and godlinesse that this is the gracious and Evangelicall worthinesse by which he that is chosen becomes worthier then he that is not chosen And therefore that faith the obedience of faith Sanctity godlinesse and perseverance are not the fruits or effects of the unchangeable Election unto Glory but Conditions and Causes without which a thing is not brought to passe before required and foreseen as already performed by those who are compleatly to be chosen 2 That all election to Salvation is not unchangeable but that some which are Elected withstanding Gods decree may perish and for ever do 3 That in this life there is no fruit nor fence or certainty of immutable Election unto Glory but upon condition contingent and mutable 4 That it is absurd to make an uncertain certainty that God out of his mere just will hath not decreed to leave any man in the fall of Adam and common state of sin and damnation or to passe over any in the communication of grace necessary to faith and conversion 5 That the cause why God sends the Gospel to one nation rather then to another is not the mere and onely good pleasure of God but because such a nation is better and more worthy of the Gospel Further concerning the death of Christ and his Redemption 1 THat God ordained his son to the death of the Crosse without any certaine or determinate counsel to save any particular man expresly c. 2 That the will of God was not to establish a new covenant of grace by the blood of Christ but to procure the making again with men any covenant either of grace or works 3 That Christ by his death did not certainly merit for any mans salvation it self and faith by which this satisfaction of Christ may be fully applyed unto salvation c. 4 That the covenant of Grace which the Father by the mediation of the death of Christ made with men doth not consist in their being justified before God and saved by faith in apprehending the merit of Christ but in this the exaction of perfect legall obedience being abrogated reputes faith it self and the imperfect obedience of faith for the perfect obedience of the Law 5 That all men are received into the state Reconciliation and grace of the Covenant and none condemned for Originall sinne 6 That Christ neither did not ought to die for those whom God dearly loved and chose unto eternall life seeing such stood in no need of Christs death With many other concerning mans corruptions conversion and the perseverance of the Saints Arians So called from Arius Deacon of the Church of Alexandria who infected the World with this Heresie and was condemned by three hundred and eighteen Bishops in the Councell of Nice under the Emperour Constantine the great and banished 1 They deny the Trinity of persons 2 They deny the sonne to be God 3 They deny the eternall generation of the Sonne which is they say against reason and truth 4 They deny Christ to be called God in respect of his Essence but by reason of his dominion 5 They deny the Holy Ghost to be God These Hereticks have been burnt amongst us heretofore as in Anno 1611 March the 18. One Bartholomew Legate and the April following one Edward whightman burnt at Litchfield for the same Adamites Of this Heresie Saint Augustine makes mention 1 They call the place of their meeting Paradise 2 They pray heare and celebrate the commnion naked according to the similitude of Adam before his fall But more lately practised by a Piccard in Bohemia that came out of the Low countreys and professed himself to be the Son of God he taught this sect to go naked and to call him Adam terming him and his Sect freemen and all the rest slaves that weare clothes Libertines that would abolish the Law The authour of these by Pontanus is described to be one John Agricola who spread this opinion in the yeare 1535.
