Wasse TO THE READER Christian Reader IT is not possible for any Man to make a true and constant Profession and Confession of his Faith except he understand the Doctrine of the Church aright and exercise his Conscience therewith Then such men as have not the understanding of the Articles of the Doctrine of Christ expressed in the 39. Articles of the Church of England in some good degree and measure are nothing else but Vain Bubbles which suddenly swell start up and fall away of themselves And if any man will stand in doubt of them he is justly counted not to be a Man but the Monster of a Man and without all Wit it being the property of a good and sober Wit not to love Cavillations knowing that two times four makes eight and the Excess brings nothing but Disorder and Amazement What these Articles be are plainly Comprised in the Creeds of the Apostles of Nice and Athanasius and these we judge and believe do agree with the perpetual meaning of the Prophets and Apostles Writings Now sith that there is but one Truth and more than one there cannot be and this Truth we Have Hold and Profess Then whatsoever varyeth from that one Truth must needs be no Truth for Truth agreeth with Truth Reader art thou a Christian I suppose thou art canst thou say the parts of thy Catechism I think that there is no Christian will be so wickedly rude as not to know so few Heads Now let those Heads of the Catechism be unto thee instead of a most sure perfect Rule to examine to try and to judge all Religious and all Doctrines by For it is certain that the Catechism is a short Sum of all the whole Bible and containeth all that is required of Necessity unto Faith and unto our Salvation But what I write or have written I know not how it may please I have made it my Study rather to please God than Man whether I shall offend I know not with much doubt I have changed some Words and fear if I take others I may take worse what ever the Pains be I have taken I cannot pass the Strife of Tongues neither the Malice of Ungratefull and Irreligious Spirits nor yet Jerks of the False Government and the No-Government Faction who as they have so still will endeavour to Disturb my outward and my inward Peace by False Malicious Scandals Lying Reports and Accusations whereby they have and still may promise themselves Concealment of their Ill-contrived Enterprises Like the Artians of old the better to bring in their damnable Error concerning the Deity of Christ which Athanasius withstanding and holding fast his Judgment in the truth of the Deity of Christ they forged Lies and Accusations against him of dishonesty with a woman and cutting off a man's hand as Eusebius relates Christian Reader that these Reasons have been kept from the Press twelve months beyond my first intentions hath been by reason of some proud and ignorant persons whose Lives were notoriously tainted as the Judgments of others are notably corrupted who withstood me to my face Yet have I this hope that they are not so long in coming forth as to hinder thy profit and satisfaction who yet remainest full of doubt concerning our Governours and sure established Government nor yet too late for the confirmation and strengthning of those who doubt not of the one nor the other Remember we are all under one Head and why not all of one Heart Seek not thy own honor profit or private estimation amongst men but the Peace of the Kingdom with the Salvation of Souls and the work is done without any danger of failing from the Land of Uprightness Read and consider what thou readest pray that thou maist understand and believe the Truth and the Truth will make you free which is the hearty prayer of Your Christian Faithful Remembrancer of your Duty and Allegiance W.

the undermining the Tribunals of Judgment and the Wofull disturbance of Church and State which the proudest Non conformist cannot Balk but must confess it is a Truth and that they have walked within the Enormous confines of their own Exorbitant desires and even as Atheistical Nullifidians have not regarded the Blood of a King like riotous Ruffians eating and drinking and taking pleasure therein adjoyning Criticks to justle out the truth of the Lawfull absoluteness of Kingly power practizing as the Scenical jesters do fast and loose without a Cordial subjection and obedience but being Covetous cried give give for a King to whom no Antheme was more pleasant than possession of 80000 l. Diotrephes like seeking for the Pre-heminence yet pretending to have the self-denying Virtue but Demas like did embrace the present now and at the same time while they did profess themselves lofty Favourites took a Pattern of Religion from Raviliack and cared not for a King so much as a Wildred promise a Promise that made a King of never Dying Virtues and Bishops of never Dying Fame troublesome to their queasie Stomacks The Devil they had rather have for their Father and Confessour by whom they were led to follow the bright Beams of Corruscant Gold and Silver that had with them Authority to make them turn Turn-coats yet ceased not Parasitically to profess and swear they Loved the King with all their Saul at that very time the Friperers of Power and Government were telling them so much Money as made those Mercenary Pensioners bow before they would break though they had a King of Power in their Hands able for ever to have made them and three Kingdoms happy if these were not Ideots going in the Pride and Presumption of their Hearts after the Gods of Gold and Silver let all Generations judge whose Faith was Spun so broad and whose Consciences were without Measure as the Corn in Egypt without Number let any who have had so great Convincing reasons as we have had Judge how likely they should be the only feeling and faithfull Members that made so great a Defection from Duty and Allegiance or with what Confidence we should rely upon their Pargetting Profession whose Pandects and Plagiaries have made their Mountainous thoughts to swell higher than any Mountain in their barren Country being a people more Lapped than Nichodemus who was ignorant of the Mysteries of the Gospel and came by night to Jesus for Instruction but these who professed they knew Jesus to be Christ the King of Jews and Gentiles came by night to their Annointed Soveraign Lord and King not for instruction but to betray him and Judas like sold him for Money the root of all Evil. Now consider if God was so severely wrath with David a King for the Death of Urias the Hittite that Dyed in Warr with others of his Subjects that God did threaten Him that the Sword should not depart from his House And tell me nay tell the whole World whether you think Private persons Subjects sworn in Allegiance to their undoubted Lawfull King if they shall treacherously Murther their King will go Unpunished of God shall not his Sacred blood be upon their Heads upon the Heads of those that have Slain a righteous King upon the Heads of those that put the Sword of Warr by their side at a time of tenders of Peace Can such be guiltless O tempora O Mores it is hard to Kick against the Pricks By this very thing let it be known to all Generations ye were Sons of Belial ye that might have prevented the Murther and did it not ye are guilty His blood be upon you and your Children and the Innocent let them be free Thus far I hope I have kept a good Conscience in what I have done and hope so to keep it whatsoever I suffer for this my Integrity when I was a Child I did as a Child and took the Covenant being traiterously mis-led by them that did pretend Zeal and Piety for which transgression I humbly plead the forgiveness of Our Dread Soveraign Lord King Charls the First I willingly forgive such mens taking the Covenant who keep it within such bounds of Piety and Loyalty as can neither hurt either the Church my Self or the Publick peace Otherwise than thus I have not kept it and therefore with humble boldness lay hold upon and plead my right unto and in the Act of Indempnity given and granted by Our Dread Soveraign Lord and King Charls the Second as my Salvo against all the false Rumours and Reports gone out against me unto which I humbly add the Admission under Seal from the Right Reverend Father in God Gilbert by the Divine Providence Lord Bishop of London which I doubt not but they are sufficient Indempnities for my first Oath that ever I took 1643. being in Nonage and under Servitude when I took it And when enlarged into freedome I took the Oath of Allegiance and Supremacy 1648. and since never took any Oath in any kind whatsoever but in Obedience to His Sacred Majesty And therefore let those that would retort upon me the Covenant consider the time when it was taken by me and under what Jurisdiction I then was remember that one Grand objection against our Rulers brought by all Non-conformists as a reason to enforce the taking of it viz. that they were Wicked but now are Justified which Objection brought as a reason did much prevail upon the Hearts of multitudes of Ignorant Men Women and Children and upon my Self amongst others But had we been able wisely to have considered that the wickedness of the Rulers if any such there were did not make the truths of God a Lye and his Commandments of none Effect it might have been a good Premonition to us that profess our selves the true Members of the Church to have taken heed we had not fallen and carefully to have minded those that made it their business to creep into mens affections with entising Words and under pretence of Religious opposing Ceremonies and established Government Kill'd the power of Godliness Nevertheless as I have so still I do acknowledge many Godly men to be amongst those that do not Conform and sound Religion yet not more sound Religion as some formerly and now would perswade than is in them that Conform although some might then and may now seemingly be of a more holy Conversation Howsoever that was and is the Error of the Person not of the Government or Doctrine of the Church yet such themselves being Judges cannot but have Regret upon their Spirits for those desperate falls they have had in the Opposing of the Doctrine of our Church and our established Government The fall of Contempt and Disobedience unto that Divine Commandment Curse not the King no not in thy thought The breach of four great Commandments the 5 6 9 10. their joyning Violence with that they called truth and Cruelty with that they called righteousness too evidently
