Let us now presuppose that all the whole Regiment of Iesuites and Seminaries were lodged in safe custody may we then perswade our selves that Popery will vanish like a dumb shew I am cleerly resolved that though it receive a great Eclipse notwithstanding without other helpes the Kingdome of Antichrist will onely lye hidden as a weed that seemes withered in Winter and is ready to sprout out with the Spring Temporall Armes are Remedies serving for a time but the Spirituall sword is permanent in operation and by an invisible blow workes more then Mortall man can imagine The Word of God carryeth this two edged Weapon in its mouth which is to be vsed by faithfull Ministers of the Church whom pure zeale without respect to wordly promotion or persons ought to encourage Of Judges the Scripture saith Estote fortes and daily we see that sitting in their judiciall seares God inspireth them with greater courage then whē as private Persons they are to give their opinions No lesse is the power of the holy Ghost in his servants that out of the Pulpit are to deliver his Embassage Let them therefore not be dismai'd to speak out plainly and tell the truth without running a middle course betweene heate cold Unprofitable descanting upon the Scripture with an old Postell or for want of better matter waste the poore time shut up in an houre Glasse with skirmishing against the worthy Pillars of our owne profession Rumour which is ever ready to take hold of evill hath raised a secret though as I hope a causelesse suspition that there should be some secret combination under hand by changing the state of Questions to put us in our old dayes to learne a new Catechisme and when they haue brought us out of conceit with the Reverend Interpreters of the Word to use us then as the Wolves mentioned in Demosthenes Apologie handled the Shepheards when they had delivered up their Dogs Most sacred was that Speech of our most gracious King concerning Vorstius he that will speake of Canaan let him speake the Language of Canaan How can we draw others to our Church if we cannot agree where or how to lay our Foundation Or how may we cleanse the Leprous Disease of dissension which the Papists which are least assured to themselves and most doubtfull of their salvation are not ashamed to ascribe unto many of us I would not have Ministers indiscreet like Dogs to bark against all whether they know or know them not I like better the opinion of Aristotle who adviseth those that stand in guard of a place to be curst onely to such as are about to endammage the City If Pursevants and other civill Officers would learne to keepe this rule they might goe about their businesse with much credit The imagined feare of inviting the Romish faction by force to deliver their ghostly Fathers out of prison move me not a whit For I cannot believe that they esteeme them at so deare a price that they would runne the hazard by freeing others out of hold to put themselves into their places some will say that a man of straw is a head good enough for a discontented Multitude That the Papists are very Cholericke it appeares sufficiently by their writings yet it hath pleased God to send those curst Cowes short hornes that when they could not finde a man of sufficiency to serve their turne they were faine to doe homage to Garnets straw forgetfull as they are that such stubble cannot endure the tryall of fire but unto us that ought to be doers as well as Professors of the Gospell let this remaine as a memorable Theoreme Religion is the Mother of good Order good Order is the cause of prosperous Fortune and happy successe in all Counsels and enterprises wherefore in what estate soever their wanteth good Order it is an evident Argument that Religion goes backward 11. I have ever held it for a kind of injustice to omit the executiō of mean laws made to prevent the effects of idlenesse then to apply main extremity of the sword whē the proling habit gotten by the vice comes to light No lesse is the course uncharitable with pardon for this presumption be it spoken when vee spare them that have no Religion at all and censure those that can give account of somewhat tending to that purpose He that is in misery must be borne withall if he speak miserably and when the child from his Mothers Brest hath suckt nothing but Popery a man had need to be angry with discretion if he heare him speake in the voyce of a Papist God calleth some by miracle but the ordinary meanes is his Word if that means in many places of this Land be wanting of what Religion is it likeliest the people will be I suppose that few men will gainsay my assertion that outward sense will direct them to Popery which is fuller of Pageants then of spirituall doctrine
