The vanitie & downe-fall of superstitious Popish ceremonies, or, A sermon preached in the cathedrall church of Durham by one Mr. Peter Smart, a præbend there, July 27. 1628 : containing not onely an historicall relation of all those severall Popish ceremonies and practises which Mr. Iohn Cosens hath lately brought into the said cathedrall church: but likewise a punctuall confutation of them; especially of erecting altars, and cringing to them, (a practise much in vse of late) and of praying towards the east.

dicitur_fw-la id_fw-la quod_fw-la reprobat_fw-la christ_n be_v truth_n must_v needs_o hate_v vanity_n because_o vanity_n consist_v in_o falsehood_n for_o what_o a_o man_n hate_v that_o he_o reject_v esau_n be_v a_o reprobate_a reject_v of_o god_n because_o god_n hate_v he_o as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o first_o of_o malachy_n jacob_n have_v i_o love_v but_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v yet_o herein_o we_o may_v not_o imitate_v god_n in_o hate_v any_o man_n under_o pretence_n that_o we_o think_v he_o a_o reprobate_n we_o may_v not_o presume_v to_o enter_v into_o god_n judgement_n and_o give_v sentence_n of_o election_n or_o reprobation_n upon_o any_o because_o we_o know_v not_o he_o that_o now_o stand_v whether_o he_o may_v fall_v and_o he_o that_o have_v fall_v whether_o he_o may_v rise_v again_o and_o stand_v therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n we_o must_v hate_v none_o we_o must_v love_v our_o enemy_n and_o all_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o 5._o of_o matth._n you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v of_o old_a love_v thy_o neighbour_n and_o haâ—e_v thy_o enemy_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n and_o st._n john_n say_v 1._o epist_n 3._o

be_v a_o manslayer_n be_v david_n a_o manslayer_n do_v he_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o abide_v in_o death_n because_o he_o hate_v they_o that_o hold_v of_o superstitious_a vanity_n no_o very_o for_o he_o hate_v not_o their_o person_n but_o their_o iniquity_n their_o evil_a work_n and_o affection_n he_o do_v wish_v their_o amendment_n and_o salvation_n take_v god_n for_o a_o example_n of_o who_o thus_o he_o speak_v in_o his_o 5._o psal_n thou_o be_v not_o a_o god_n that_o love_v wickedness_n thou_o hate_v all_o they_o that_o work_n vanity_n yet_o he_o say_v else_o where_o thou_o o_o lord_n save_v both_o man_n and_o beast_n how_o excellent_a be_v thy_o mercy_n o_o god_n which_o appear_v in_o that_o he_o make_v his_o sun_n to_o shine_v and_o his_o reign_n to_o fall_v upon_o just_a and_o unjust_a and_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v he_o will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o he_o love_v the_o man_n though_o he_o hate_v their_o manner_n their_o naughtiness_n and_o vanity_n so_o must_v we_o do_v as_o the_o prophet_n amos_n bid_v we_o in_o his_o 5._o ch_z 15._o v._n hate_v the_o evil_a and_o leave_v the_o good_a we_o must_v not_o simple_o hate_v nor_o simple_o love_v because_o no_o man_n be_v so_o absolute_o evil_a but_o he_o have_v some_o goodness_n nor_o so_o absolute_o good_a but_o he_o have_v some_o badness_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n how_o then_o they_o that_o hold_v of_o superstitious_a vanity_n must_v we_o not_o hate_v they_o not_o their_o person_n which_o may_v perhaps_o have_v some_o spark_n some_o tincture_n of_o goodness_n but_o their_o badness_n be_v to_o be_v hate_v and_o themselves_o quatenus_fw-la so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o invent_v and_o maintain_v superstitious_a vanity_n opposite_a to_o god_n law_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o love_v as_o david_n profess_v in_o his_o 119._o psal_n 113._o vers_fw-la i_o hate_v vain_a invention_n but_o thy_o law_n do_v i_o love_v so_o must_v we_o love_n god_n law_n which_o forbid_v idolatry_n and_o hate_v vain_a invention_n and_o the_o inventour_n of_o vanity_n when_o they_o will_v ensnare_v and_o entangle_v we_o with_o their_o fraudulent_a imposture_n to_o seduce_v and_o allure_v we_o to_o their_o superstitious_a and_o idol_n service_n so_o far_o forth_o we_o must_v hate_v they_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o near_o and_o dear_a unto_o we_o as_o our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o luke_n 14._o 26._o verse_n if_o any_o man_n come_v to_o i_o and_o hate_v not_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n
