A93702	Rome ruin'd by VVhite Hall, or, The papall crown demolisht: containing a confutation of the three degrees of popery, viz. papacy, prelacy, and presbitery; answerable to the triple crowne of the three-headed Cerberus the Pope, with his three fold hierarchies aforesaid. With a dispelling of all other dispersed clouds of errour, which doth interpose the clear sun-shine of the Gospel in our horrizon. Wherein the chiefe arguments each of them have, for the vindication of their erronious tenents are incerted, and refuted; with a description of such whem [sic] the true Church of Christ doth consist of: as also how, and by whom, they may be gathered, and governed, according to the will, and appointment of Jesus Christ, and his apostles, in the primative purity thereof. / By Iohn Spittlehouse, assistant to the Marshall Generall of the Army, under the command of his Excellency, the Lord Generall Fairfax. Imprimated by Theod. Jennings, and entred in the Stationers Hall.	Spittlehouse, John.	1649 (1649)	Wing S5013; Thomason E586_2; ESTC R203633	304,213	396

sometimes were disobedient Ans Those imaginations are contrary to Scripture for out of Out of Hell is no redemption Hell is no redemption as Abraham said to the rich man They which would goe from hence to you cannot neither can they come from them to us Luk. 16. 26. Again Hell is thus described Where the worme dyeth not and the fire never goeth out Mark 9. 45. the worme of the conscience in everlasting fire shall torment the wicked and therefore that place in Peter or the other cannot be understood of the descending of Christs Soule into Hell for Christ cannot be said to be quickned or made alive in his Spi●●● that is his Soule because it was not subject to death and 〈…〉 fore by the word soule or spirit they truly understand the Divine power of Christ whereby he preached to Noah 2. If there were preaching in Hell then it will follow that there is a Church there and repentance and conversion of soules 3. The Apostle only speaketh of such as were disobedient but they were not delivered by Christ 4. It cannot be shewed in all the Scripture where the resceptacle of the soules of the faithfull and beleevers is called a prison SECT 13. Object TO proceed where we left God is Almighty and therefore can doe what he will Ans That God is Almighty because he can doe all things is VVhy God is said to be Almighty to prove that he is not Almighty for all things he cannot doe As he cannot deny himself he cannot restore virginity being once violated he cannot sinne because there is no superiour above him but that he may doe all things what he will but he hath no will or pleasure to make his Sonne a lyar or to make his Scriptures false and yet notwithstanding he is Almighty and may doe what he will and thus they alledge that God by his power might make Christs body in many places but they forget to prove that he hath done so Obj. God worketh by Myracles and therefore he may doe it though to us it seeme not to be done Ans As before I desire to know where God hath promised to doe so we read that the shadow of Peter did heale many Act. 5. 15. and yet the shadow was not Peters owne person We read also that Napkins and Handkerchiefes were carried from Paul to many that was sick and possessed with unclean spirits and they received their healths Act. 19. 12. and yet it were a madnesse to think that Pauls body had been actually in those things which was sent from him to them which were diseased or possessed with the unclean Spirits so that these their assertions being proved false by Scripture we may conclude against them all that Christs body is but in one place only As concerning his flesh the Church injoyed him but a few dayes but as he is God he is every where and at all times by his grace providence and Divine Nature His Naturall Body which was borne of the Virgine dyed rose for us and sitteth on the right hand of God he went away by that which was but in one place he stayed by that which was in all places he ascended above all Heavens in his body but he departed not hence in his Majesty Again to shew the unmesurablenesse of his God-head he saith to his Disciples Loe I am with you ever even to the end of the world Mat. 28. 20. and how could he ascend into Heaven but as he was locall and very Man and how he is present with the faithfull but because he is unmeasurable and very God SECT 14. Against the reservation of Reliques in the Sacrament Obj. HAving thus as I conceive manifested their errour aforesaid I shall say something concerning their superstitious reservation of the Reliques of the Sacrament which they gather from Gods command to the Israelites to keep a gomer of Manna Exod. 13. 32. to evidence to their posterity how and by what meanes they were sustained and preserved in the Wildernesse for so many yeares Ans That Relique was an holy Relique kept by the Commandment of God not to be adored and worshipped but to put the people in minde of that benefit in feeding of their Fathers in the Wildernesse but the keeping of this Relique doth offend against all these rules As 1. God hath not commanded them to keep any such thing 2. In that they shew them to the people for adoration and not for the commemoration of any benefit 3. The Manna which putrified being one day kept contrary to the Commandement of God Exod. 16. 20. indures many hundreds of yeares by his appointment but Popish Reliques are not preserved from putrifying therefore God hath not ordained them so to be kept 4. God commanded that no part of the Pascall Lambe should be reserved untill the morning which doubtlesse was to take away the cause of superstition lest they might have adored and abused the Reliques of the Passeover which charge given to the Israelites may also reprove the superstition of the Papists which doe reserve the Reliques of the Sacrament and of Saints carrying them about to sick folkes as things of great vertue and holinesse Obj. Josephs bones was carried from Aegypt to Cannan Gen. 50. 26. ergo the Reliques of Saints may be preserved Ans Joseph was laid in a Coffin they did not rake out his ushes and take his bones and carry them about to work Miracles as the Papists seeme to doe by the bodies of Saints if they be their bodies and in that Joseph desired to be carried to the Land of promise the Scriptures directly sheweth the cause to have been the profession of their faith and hope that the Land of promise should be given unto them as Joseph had formerly said in these words God shall surely visite you and you shall carry my bones hence Gen. ●0 25. SECT 15. Against the posture of kneeling to the Sacrament A Word also as touching the gestures and deportments of the body in the act of receiving the Sacrament which hath been variable according to the manner of the Countries where it hath been and is administred as it was the custome of the Jewes to sit upon the ground as Christ leaning upon Johns breast at Supper which is imitated now by the Irish but the Communion of the body and blood of Christ is called the Lords Supper and sitting being an accustomed gesture amongst us at our ordinary suppers therefore sitting is a gesture most stress for such an 〈◊〉 Again some Churches use the posture of standing as well as sitting in imitation of the Passeover but we never read that the Apostles kneeted at the Sacrament for so to doe is directly Idolatry and Superstition as may thus appeare For to worship God in act or desort a creature is Idolatry and Popery but such is their kneeling ergo 2. To worship Christs Man-hood as present when it is absent is Idolatry but Christs locall body is in Heaven as I have
