A37498	The tryal of spirits both in teachers & hearers wherein is held forth the clear discovery and certain downfal of the carnal and antichristian clergie of these nations / testified from the Word of God to the university-congregation in Cambridge by William Dell ; whereunto is added A plain and necessary confutation of divers gross errors delivered by Mr. Sydrach Simpson in a sermon preached to the same congregation at the commencement, Anno 1653 ; wherein (among other things) is declared, that the vniversities (according to their present statutes and practices) are not (as he affirmed) answerable to the schools of the prophets in the time of the law, but rather to the idolatrous high places ...

be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o great_a evil_n then_o to_o bring_v up_o child_n in_o ease_n and_o idleness_n and_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o live_v free_o and_o without_o control_n according_a to_o those_o natural_a lust_n and_o corruption_n which_o they_o bring_v along_o with_o they_o into_o the_o world_n which_o do_v soon_o wonderful_o improve_v through_o such_o a_o careless_a and_o

the_o heathen_a 2._o i_o conceive_v it_o meet_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n or_o chief_a magistrate_n shall_v take_v great_a care_n of_o the_o education_n of_o youth_n as_o of_o one_o of_o the_o

will_v short_o be_v 3._o to_o this_o end_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o school_n if_o want_v be_v erect_v through_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o city_n and_o great_a town_n but_o also_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v in_o all_o lesser_a village_n and_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o nation_n take_v great_a care_n that_o godly_a man_n especial_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o great_a school_n and_o also_o that_o no_o woman_n be_v permit_v to_o teach_v little_a child_n in_o village_n but_o such_o as_o be_v the_o most_o sober_a and_o grave_a and_o that_o the_o magistrate_n afford_v to_o this_o work_n all_o suitable_a encouragement_n and_o assistance_n 4._o that_o in_o such_o school_n they_o first_o teach_v they_o to_o read_v their_o native_a tongue_n which_o they_o

opportunity_n to_o send_v child_n to_o they_o they_o teach_v they_o also_o the_o latin_a and_o greek_a tongue_n and_o the_o hebrew_n also_o which_o be_v the_o easy_a of_o they_o all_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o great_a account_n with_o we_o for_o the_o old_a testament_n sake_n and_o it_o be_v most_o heedful_o to_o be_v regard_v that_o in_o teach_v youth_n the_o tongue_n to_o wit_v the_o greek_a and_o latin_a such_o heathenish_a author_n be_v most_o careful_o avoid_v be_v their_o language_n never_o so_o good_a who_o write_n be_v full_a of_o the_o fable_n vanity_n filthiness_n lasciviousness_n idolatry_n and_o wickedness_n of_o the_o heathen_a see_v usual_o whilst_o youth_n do_v learn_v the_o language_n of_o the_o heathen_a they_o also_o learn_v their_o wickedness_n in_o that_o language_n whereas_o it_o be_v far_o better_o for_o they_o to_o want_v their_o language_n then_o to_o be_v possess_v with_o their_o wickedness_n and_o what_o shall_v christian_n youth_n have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o heathenish_a poet_n who_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o devil_n prophet_n and_o deliver_v forth_o their_o write_n in_o his_o spirit_n and_o who_o through_o the_o

education_n which_o ought_v to_o correct_v their_o natural_a corruption_n do_v exceed_o increase_v and_o inflame_v it_o wherefore_o my_o counsel_n be_v that_o they_o learn_v the_o greek_a and_o latin_a tongue_n especial_o from_o christian_n and_o so_o without_o the_o lie_n fable_n folly_n vanity_n whoredom_n lust_n pride_n revenge_n etc._n etc._n of_o the_o heathen_n especial_o see_v neither_o their_o word_n nor_o their_o phrase_n be_v meet_v for_o christian_n to_o take_v into_o their_o mouth_n and_o most_o necessary_a it_o be_v that_o christian_n shall_v forget_v the_o name_n of_o their_o god_n and_o muse_n which_o be_v but_o devil_n and_o damn_a creature_n and_o all_o their_o muthology_n and_o fabulous_a invention_n and_o let_v they_o all_o go_v to_o satan_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v 6._o it_o may_v be_v convenient_a also_o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o university_n or_o college_n for_o the_o instruct_v youth_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o liberal_a

the_o habeatur_fw-la scripture_n as_o the_o university_n pretend_v they_o sure_o be_v without_o love_n to_o their_o brethren_n who_o will_v have_v these_o study_n thus_o confine_v to_o these_o place_n and_o do_v solennibus_fw-la swear_v man_n to_o read_v and_o teach_v they_o nowhere_o else_o certain_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o these_o man_n love_v their_o own_o private_a gain_n more_o than_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o people_n but_o now_o see_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n a_o kingdom_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o tyranny_n into_o freedom_n we_o judge_v it_o most_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o common_a good_a of_o a_o commonwealth_n that_o these_o two_o university_n shall_v make_v a_o monopoly_n of_o humane_a learning_n to_o themselves_o especial_o as_o be_v say_v see_v they_o say_v no_o body_n can_v well_o understand_v or_o teach_v the_o scripture_n without_o it_o and_o so_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o encroachment_n against_o the_o rule_n of_o love_n through_o the_o former_a grant_n of_o pope_n and_o king_n all_o man_n shall_v be_v necessitate_v to_o send_v their_o child_n hither_o from_o all_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n some_o score_n or_o hundred_o of_o mile_n for_o liberal_a education_n to_o the_o great_a trouble_n and_o charge_n of_o parent_n especial_o this_o consider_v that_o the_o university_n usual_o have_v be_v place_n of_o great_a licentiousness_n and_o profaneness_n whereby_o it_o often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o parent_n send_v their_o child_n far_o from_o they_o young_a and_o hopeful_a have_v for_o all_o their_o care_n and_o cost_n after_o several_a year_n receive_v they_o back_o again_o with_o their_o tongue_n and_o art_n proud_a profane_a wicked_a abominable_a and_o incorrigible_a wretch_n wherefore_o doubtless_o it_o will_v be_v more_o suitable_a to_o a_o commonwealth_n if_o we_o become_v so_o in_o deed_n and_o not_o in_o word_n only_o and_o more_o advantageous_a to_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o people_n to_o have_v university_n or_o college_n one_o at_o least_o in_o every_o great_a town_n or_o city_n in_o the_o nation_n as_o in_o london_n york_n bristol_n exeter_n norwich_n and_o the_o like_a and_o for_o the_o state_n to_o allow_v to_o these_o college_n a_o honest_a and_o competent_a maintenance_n for_o some_o godly_a and_o learned_a man_n to_o teach_v the_o tongue_n and_o art_n under_o a_o due_a reformation_n and_o this_o the_o state_n may_v the_o better_a do_v by_o provision_n out_o of_o every_o county_n or_o otherwise_o as_o shall_v be_v judge_v best_o see_v then_o there_o

and_o have_v overcome_v they_o because_o great_a be_v he_o that_o be_v in_o you_o than_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n here_o now_o the_o apostle_n show_v the_o victory_n which_o the_o true_o faithful_a and_o spiritual_a christian_n do_v obtain_v over_o antichrist_n and_o his_o false_a prophet_n together_o with_o the_o ground_n of_o that_o victory_n 1._o the_o victory_n be_v set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n little_a child_n you_o have_v overcome_v they_o 2._o the_o ground_n of_o this_o victory_n be_v two_o 1._o because_o the_o faithful_a be_v of_o god_n as_o child_n of_o their_o

and_o mighty_a than_o that_o spirit_n which_o the_o world_n receive_v and_o which_o dwell_v in_o they_o great_a be_v he_o that_o be_v in_o you_o than_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n i_o shall_v first_o speak_v something_o of_o the_o victory_n itself_o that_o be_v 1._o prophet_n of_o that_o glorious_a victory_n which_o all_o the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n do_v obtain_v over_o antichrist_n for_o though_o antichrist_n and_o his_o teacher_n do_v come_v in_o christ_n name_n as_o christ_n have_v foretell_v and_o in_o sheep_n clothing_n and_o though_o they_o transform_v themselves_o into_o

a_o false_a worship_n false_a work_n false_a ordinance_n and_o all_o these_o false_a thing_n exceed_o like_v the_o true_a and_o in_o the_o very_a form_n and_o appearance_n of_o the_o true_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o prevail_v with_o all_o the_o national_a church_n and_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o world_n which_o all_o wonder_n after_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o able_a by_o all_o these_o thing_n to_o prevail_v with_o any_o of_o the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o say_v many_o false_a christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n shall_v arise_v and_o shall_v come_v with_o lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n able_a if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o deceive_v the_o elect_a and_o though_o they_o do_v deceive_v all_o other_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o deceive_v the_o elect_a of_o god_n that_o be_v thorough_o and_o full_o as_o they_o do_v deceive_v other_o but_o the_o faithful_a and_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n do_v escape_v their_o deceit_n and_o do_v overcome_v they_o yea_o though_o they_o be_v but_o little_a child_n new_a in_o the_o faith_n and_o young_a in_o christ_n yet_o do_v they_o overcome_v all_o the_o false_a prophet_n in_o the_o world_n for_o these_o little_a child_n be_v so_o strip_v of_o their_o old_a nature_n that_o they_o overcome_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n which_o be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o of_o the_o world_n and_o through_o which_o only_a the_o minister_n of_o antichrist_n be_v mighty_a and_o so_o these_o teacher_n can_v find_v nothing_o in_o they_o on_o which_o they_o can_v lay_v hold_n to_o prevail_v beside_o as_o new_o bear_v babe_n can_v discern_v and_o taste_v which_o be_v good_a and_o wholesome_a milk_n

their_o food_n which_o be_v good_a for_o they_o and_o which_o be_v hurtful_a so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o by_o faith_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a
