A69171	A treatise, touching Antichrist VVherein, the place, the time, the forme, the workmen, the vpholders, the proceeding, and lastly, the ruine and ouerthrow of the kingdome of Antichrist, is plainly laid open out of the word of God: where also manie darke, and hard places both of Daniell and the Reuelation are made manifest.

the_o gospel_n put_v on_o armour_n and_o bend_v the_o sword_n against_o the_o papist_n who_o undoubted_o be_v the_o state_n stay_v and_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n and_o use_v such_o weapon_n as_o be_v call_v carnal_a as_o we_o read_v to_o have_v be_v do_v in_o germany_n england_n scotland_n flaunders_n and_o france_n yea_o and_o so_o practise_v at_o this_o day_n and_o this_o doubt_n may_v seem_v the_o deep_a and_o increase_v the_o more_o for_o that_o constantine_n the_o great_a be_v now_o become_v a_o true_a and_o perfect_a christian_a do_v notwithstanding_o and_o that_o by_o the_o counsel_n and_o consent_n of_o all_o the_o christian_a bishop_n take_v war_n in_o hand_n against_o licinius_n his_o fellow_n and_o companion_n in_o the_o quarrel_n of_o religion_n namely_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v give_v aid_n and_o release_v unto_o the_o christian_n who_o the_o other_o do_v deadly_o persecute_v for_o they_o be_v compel_v by_o licinius_n to_o sacrifice_v unto_o idol_n against_o their_o conscience_n now_o i_o do_v not_o herein_o make_v question_n touch_v the_o person_n or_o the_o man_n themselves_o whether_o constantinus_n may_v lawful_o in_o any_o respect_n wage_v war_n against_o licinius_n or_o no_o who_o be_v his_o fellowe-mate_n in_o the_o empire_n for_o there_o be_v none_o i_o think_v that_o doubt_v but_o he_o may_v see_v he_o be_v a_o chief_a and_o high_a magistrate_n as_o well_o as_o licinius_n and_o equal_n be_v not_o subject_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o but_o now_o i_o consider_v &_o reason_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o war_n whether_o to_o deliver_v and_o set_v free_a the_o christian_a profession_n from_o persecution_n and_o to_o remove_v idolatry_n constantine_n may_v just_o move_v and_o wage_v war_n this_o question_n be_v somewhat_o

be_v take_v in_o hand_n be_v not_o all_o of_o one_o force_n nature_n and_o degree_n for_o some_o be_v proper_a some_o accidental_a i_o call_v that_o a_o proper_a cause_n or_o occasion_n whereunto_o the_o drift_n of_o our_o purpose_a determination_n and_o endeavour_n tend_v and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o seem_v to_o respect_v it_o only_o as_o though_o there_o be_v thereto_o adjoin_v no_o other_o reason_n or_o inducement_n that_o may_v lead_v we_o thereunto_o as_o when_o a_o pine_a man_n eat_v the_o direct_a cause_n of_o his_o eat_n be_v the_o slake_n of_o his_o hunger_n accidental_a i_o call_v that_o which_o concur_v and_o fall_v out_o together_o with_o the_o proper_a and_o principal_a occasion_n but_o not_o direct_o or_o of_o necessity_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o at_o the_o first_o in_o our_o advisement_n aim_v especial_o thereat_o for_o though_o that_o occasion_n be_v want_v yet_o will_v we_o notwithstanding_o in_o hand_n with_o the_o action_n as_o though_o delicate_a dress_n be_v not_o add_v to_o the_o meat_n yet_o will_v a_o hungry_a man_n fall_v to_o eat_v now_o by_o this_o distinction_n if_o we_o hold_v and_o make_v use_n of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o fit_v a_o answer_n unto_o the_o former_a scruple_n or_o doubt_n for_o he_o that_o make_v war_n against_o the_o papist_n or_o other_o idolater_n or_o else_o against_o the_o

one_o of_o wage_n war_n go_v before_o the_o which_o he_o be_v a_o magistrate_n have_v a_o eye_n unto_o it_o fall_v out_o withal_o that_o those_o against_o who_o he_o be_v to_o proceed_v be_v papist_n

seem_v to_o depend_v upon_o the_o uncertain_a issue_n and_o event_n of_o war_n therefore_o neither_o christ_n himself_o nor_o his_o apostle_n do_v at_o any_o time_n teach_v that_o force_n be_v to_o be_v use_v against_o such_o as_o be_v not_o well_o affect_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n as_o if_o that_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o ready_a way_n to_o take_v away_o their_o error_n for_o look_v what_o

of_o public_a peace_n than_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o defence_n and_o maintenance_n of_o christian_a religion_n be_v join_v with_o the_o quarrel_n of_o public_a right_n and_o justice_n and_o so_o enforce_v against_o the_o papist_n or_o turk_n be_v aliaunt_z and_o stranger_n from_o the_o profession_n of_o christ_n and_o christianity_n but_o not_o in_o this_o respect_n for_o that_o they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o religion_n but_o for_o that_o they_o be_v perturber_n and_o breaker_n of_o the_o public_a quiet_n and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o then_o and_o upon_o such_o a_o

heretic_n idolatour_n or_o papist_n but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o be_v seditious_a disturber_n of_o ancient_a rite_n and_o open_a enemy_n to_o public_a peace_n and_o this_o distinction_n and_o censure_n be_v certain_o most_o true_a and_o touch_v that_o of_o constantinus_n magnus_n and_o of_o the_o war_n that_o he_o have_v with_o licinius_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o there_o have_v

those_o solemn_o ratify_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o both_o party_n as_o eusebius_n report_v in_o the_o life_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a the_o which_o condition_n see_v licinius_n be_v the_o first_o that_o break_v when_o against_o express_a covenaunt_n he_o fall_v to_o persecute_v the_o christian_n we_o can_v make_v doubt_n but_o that_o upon_o very_o just_a occasion_n war_n be_v wage_v against_o he_o for_o among_o those_o condition_n this_o be_v a_o principal_a one_o that_o the_o christian_n may_v free_o make_v profession_n of_o their_o religion_n throughout_o the_o whole_a empire_n of_o rome_n that_o their_o meeting_n shall_v be_v approve_v as_o lawful_a assembly_n and_o that_o neither_o constantine_n nor_o licinius_n himself_o shall_v stir_v up_o persecution_n against_o the_o christian_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o christ_n see_v therefore_o that_o this_o first_o and_o chief_a point_n of_o their_o league_n and_o common_a agreement_n be_v afterward_o treacherouslie_o violate_v and_o break_v by_o licinius_n constantine_n do_v just_o and_o upon_o good_a ground_n move_v war_n against_o he_o but_o not_o as_o be_v a_o idolatrous_a king_n or_o to_o the_o end_n to_o redress_v his_o error_n which_o he_o heal_v of_o christ_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o public_a covenaunt_n and_o know_v law_n of_o the_o empire_n and_o particular_a

do_v the_o like_a who_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v say_v to_o have_v wage_v war_n for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n for_o there_o be_v at_o first_o certain_a covenaunt_n draw_v and_o public_a law_n make_v

that_o this_o say_n of_o paul_n concern_v the_o opposition_n or_o contrariety_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n neither_o can_v or_o may_v be_v understand_v

neither_o do_v mahumet_n himself_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n neither_o do_v they_o that_o profess_v to_o be_v of_o his_o sect_n acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n or_o

out_o that_o they_o abandon_v both_o the_o name_n and_o company_n of_o christian_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o consider_v of_o some_o particular_a point_n of_o the_o papist_n doctrine_n who_o notwithstanding_o will_v needs_o be_v account_v the_o only_a christian_n and_o catholic_n of_o the_o world_n and_o see_v how_o true_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v call_v it_o a_o doctrine_n opposite_a and_o contrary_a to_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n for_o herein_o the_o ancient_a writer_n agree_v with_o we_o in_o refer_v this_o speech_n of_o paul_n unto_o the_o popish_a synagogue_n that_o be_v to_o that_o church_n which_o boast_v itself_o but_o false_o under_o the_o glorious_a title_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n bernard_n upon_o the_o canticle_n hom._n 33._o they_o

say_v he_o if_o we_o respect_v outward_a name_n title_n and_o profession_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o after_o that_o he_o add_v yea_o they_o will_v outward_o pretend_v great_a chastity_n and_o mortify_v of_o the_o flesh_n then_o shall_v appear_v to_o be_v among_o the_o true_a christian_n the_o which_o we_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v to_o

concern_v the_o lord_n god_n the_o sacred_a scripture_n teach_v we_o principal_o and_o in_o general_a these_o three_o head_n the_o first_o that_o he_o be_v god_n only_o mark_n 12.29_o deut._n 6.4_o the_o second_o that_o he_o be_v of_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n not_o consist_v of_o any_o earthly_a dregs_n or_o humane_a corruption_n act._n 7.48_o isai_n 66.1_o the_o three_o that_o he_o be_v the_o

to_o be_v represent_v by_o idol_n and_o last_o that_o he_o can_v admit_v of_o any_o other_o to_o prescribe_v law_n for_o the_o bind_n of_o man_n conscience_n touch_v man_n salvation_n and_o the_o

once_o offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n very_a god_n and_o man_n heb._n 9.20_o second_o that_o it_o proceed_v free_o from_o god_n gracious_a goodness_n towards_o us._n rom._n 3._o &_o 4._o last_o concern_v religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o this_o in_o general_n first_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v only_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n not_o take_v from_o the_o tradition_n and_o precept_n of_o man_n math._n 15.9_o deut._n 12.8_o again_o touch_v the_o outward_a action_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v solemn_a sign_n and_o seal_n of_o our_o salvation_n call_v sacrament_n we_o be_v teach_v out_o of_o the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n that_o god_n only_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o 1._o cor._n 11.23_o and_o touch_v outward_a ceremony_n which_o be_v also_o a_o part_n of_o god_n outward_a worship_n the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n will_v have_v but_o few_o of_o they_o such_o as_o be_v profitable_a and_o tend_v to_o

be_v to_o be_v observe_v for_o the_o decent_a order_n of_o the_o public_a assembly_n that_o so_o a_o outward_a uniformity_n and_o comeliness_n may_v be_v keep_v among_o christian_n as_o paul_n write_v 1._o cor._n 10._o &_o 11._o and_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galat._n and_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebr._n cap._n 8._o &_o 9_o &_o 10._o but_o as_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o popery_n what_o article_n shall_v we_o find_v there_o agree_v hereunto_o for_o as_o concern_v that_o of_o one_o god_n their_o divinity_n have_v clean_o raze_v out_o that_o point_n for_o they_o have_v chap_v and_o

look_v how_o many_o saint_n they_o have_v canonize_v so_o many_o god_n have_v they_o coin_a and_o foist_v in_o to_o become_v lord_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o disposer_n of_o mighty_a matter_n insomuch_o as_o one_o have_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o rain_n commit_v unto_o he_o a_o other_o the_o dispose_n of_o fair_a weather_n the_o three_o be_v make_v master_n of_o disease_n and_o a_o other_o the_o restorer_n of_o health_n and_o touch_v the_o heavenly_a essence_n and_o divine_a nature_n of_o god_n first_o they_o make_v god_n himself_o a_o earthly_a lump_n when_o they_o teach_v that_o the_o

second_o they_o have_v set_v up_o a_o number_n of_o idol_n which_o they_o worship_v and_o appoint_v man_n to_o worship_n god_n by_o and_o through_o they_o and_o in_o this_o point_n they_o show_v

all_o the_o ancient_a father_n almost_o and_o many_o of_o the_o late_a writer_n and_o those_o very_a learned_a divine_n do_v affirm_v that_o daniel_n in_o his_o 11._o chapter_n about_o the_o end_n
