The Quaker-Jesuite OR Popery in Quakerisme Being a clear Discovery 1. That their Doctrines with their Proofs and Arguments are fetcht out of the Council of Trent Bellarmine and others 2. That their Practises are fetcht out of the Rules and Practises of Popish Monks With a serious Admonition to the Quakers to consider their ways and return from whence they are fallen By William Brownsword Minister of the Gospel at Kendal LONDON Printed by J. M. and are to be sold by Miles Harrison Bookseller in Kendal 1660. To all who hold the Truths of Christ and continue in Communion in the Ordinances of Christ within the Town c. of Kirkby Kendal Beloved THe respect I bear to your Souls the Truths and Church of Jesus Christ much endangered by the secret and unwearied actings of the Emissaries of Rome insinuating themselves and instilling the corrupt Doctrines of that Church into many in this Nation having the advantage of our lamentable differences and the toleration of all Sects not professing themselves openly to be Papists wherein they are so wise as to conceal their names that they may be the more taking in their Doctrines witness the Anabaptist Jesuite at Newcastle and the Quaker Jesuite at Bristol mentioned by Mr Prynne occasioned a late serious publique disswasive of you from the Church and Doctrines of Rome under what name soever and by whomsoever they were propounded to you and especially as they are propounded by the Quakers who as they are more active among you then other Sects so do their doctrines and practises more harmonize with Rome then others The charge of falshood against me by them hath produced this demonstration of the truth of what I had publiquely asserted which as I hope it will tend to settle you against their way so may it through God's blessing be a means to fetch back some who are ignorantly drawn from us into their snares In order to my attempt it will be necessary to premise what is Popery and what doctrines are Popish doctrines It cannot be denyed but that the Church of Rome doth still assert and maintain some truths concerning the Trinity Church Scriptures c. which are Catholick not Popish Doctrines owned not only by them but all the Reformed Churches together with the Eastern Churches It is not of these that we are speaking but such as are peculiar to that Church as apostatized from its primitive purity wherein she hath been still opposed in the Churches Confessions of Faith in learned Protestants disputes and in the sufferings of the Martyrs in Q. Maries days and which have had the Sanction of the Councils of the Pope and the pains and labours of Cardinals Jesuites and Priests for their defence against the Champions of Truth in our Churches In these doctrines which are peculiarly Romes do the doctrines of the Quakers conspire and may therefore be called Popery without falshood Again its requisite to shew what practises I mean I shall not rake into the common sins of Papists knowing that there may be found too much profaness in any Church or Society and that therefore these common vices cannot denominate a Papist but I shall only speak of such practises as are by the Reformed Churches charged upon them as theirs and are peculiar to those Orders amongst them which the Reformed Churches are strangers to I mean of Monks Hermites Nuns and the like These things being thus premised I come to my Parallel and first I shall parallel their Doctrines and then their Practises Papists affirm 1. THat all men have Grace sufficient to salvation given them the Pelagians before them did assert the same as Bellarmine shews Bellarm. l. 2. de Grat. c. c. 3. c. 5. and both they and himself urge for it John 1.9 which he explaining saith it must be understood of the light of Grace which no man at all doth want Bayly the Jesuite in his Catechisme affirms That Grace is not wanting to any man but man is wanting to that Grace that is doth not minde it obey it in which he is opposed by learned Rivet Rivet Cath. Oath Tract 4. Qu. 5. Concil Trid. Sess 6. Can. 17. The Council of Trent smites them with an Anathema who say only the Predestinate have Grace And if you would know what the Papists mean by this Grace Davenant will inform you that they mean That within them which enlightens their minde checks them from sin Davenant Determin Quest 49. and moves them to some good actions In this the Papists are opposed by the Reformed Churches in their Writings against them 2. That this is true The Council of Trent saith Can il Trid. Sess 6. Can. 18. if any man say that the Commandments of God are impossible to be observed by a justified man who is in the state of Grace let him be Anathema The Text 1 John 3.9 is urged by Bellarmine and he infers Bellarm. de justif l. 4. c. 11. Rhem. Annotat in Luc. 1.6 Baily ubi supra That if he sin not then he keeps the Law The examples of Noah Job Zechariah Elizabeth are urged by the Rhemists Bellarmine L. B. in his Right Religion evinced the Jesuite Baily in his Catechisme They all urge That Precepts and Exhortations to persection were vain if men could not be perfect here That God commands nothing impo●●●ble to men Bellarm. l. 2. de justif c. 7. and Bellarmine expresy saith If faith be not perfect in this life it can never be perfect 3. That this is their Churches Doctrine and Truth Bellarmine saith Bellarm. l. 2. de justif c. 15. in this ALL the Catholique Doctors agree That the righteousness whereby we are justified is a real inherent righteousness within us and not Christ's without us imputed to us and the words of the Roman Catechisme Catec Rom. Tract de Bapitsmo made by appointment of the Council of Trent are exceedingly observable which saith The Grace we have is not only that by which God remits sin but it 's a Divine Quality inherent in the soul and as it were a certain splendour and light which blots out all the spots of the soul and makes it clear and beautiful So Baily The formal cause of our Justification is that righteousness which God creates in us Ba●●y Catec c. de justif by which we are renewed in Spirit and purified from all sin And this saith he dwells in us and is given unto us freely And going on Rivet Cath. Orthod Tra. 4. Q. 1. 2. he scoffs at Calvin's and the Protestants as the Quakers do Philosophy That sin doth dwell in our souls yet God imputes unto us the righteousness of his Son and for that accounts us just His whole answer is well worth reading but too large to be here transcribed The Council of Trent decrees If any man say that men are justified either by imputation only or only by remission of sin excluding Grace and Love which is shed abroad in our
