as of that ad quem as Mar. 6. 12. Luke 13. 3 5. Acts 2. 38. 3. 19. 8. 22. 17. 30. 26. 20. Matth. 9. 13. Luke 24. 47. Acts 5. 31. 11. 18. 20. 21. 26. 20. 2 Tim. 2. 15. 2 Pet. 3. 9. Luke 10. 13. 15. 7 10. 2 Cor. 7. 10 11. § 5. Christ himself the Law giver and Judge doth oft in his explications lay his acceptance of men on a few great plain sure necessary things He summeth up the whole Law into the two great Commands the first and the second like unto it even the Love of God and Man and when he tells one that had lived soberly and justly that yet he lacked one thing Luke 18. it is but this plain great necessary duty to prefer his heavenly reward and hopes and Christ to bring him to it before his wealth and prosperity on earth This was not a great Volume of hard opinions but one plain and necessary duty not hard to know but hard to an unbelieving worldly heart to be willing to do So in his great Sermon on the Mount Matth. 5. it is not many dark opinions or small ceremonious practices that he pronounceth blessedness on but the pure in heart the poor in spirit the merciful the peace-makers and such as suffer for righteousness sake And in all his most excellent Sermons and Prayers John 5. 6. 10. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. what have you but our common Catechism truths Which of the controversies of contenders or what nice opinions are there decided or propounded Nay he himself oft distinguishing tells men that God will have mercy and not sacrifice and reproveth the Pharisees that were strict in tything mint annise and cummin and neglected the great matters of the Law Mercy truth and justice and that troubled the Church with their ceremonies and worshipped God in vain with their traditions teaching for doctrines the commandments of men Matth. 15. Yea when he describeth the Judgement to come it is not many hard opinions that he layeth life and death on but on loving relieving visiting his members yea the least of his members yea himself in them And he condemneth those that do it not even to the least What then shall they suffer that interdict and anathematize Kings and Kingdoms and hereticate great part of the Church of Christ yea the Pope and his Councils of military Bishops that have risen to their greatness and conquered the Christian Nations by this art of Anathematizing or cursing Kings and Subjects from Christ § 6. We find Christ preaching also to divers single persons as to Nathaneal to the Samaritan woman John 4. to the blind man John 9. to the Canaanitish woman and others and he never went beyond these few plain divine and necessary terms § 7. And he sent out his disciples to preach but the same doctrine that he had done even to Repent and believe the Gospel and Devils were subject to them that preached this short plain truth who I fear are the Masters of many that spin a finer web And John Baptist went but the same way And among the counsels which he gave to the many sorts that flocked to him see whether any of our Engines of heretication and division and silencing are to be found All the four Gospels are strangers to such things § 8. And the very Controversal Epistles of St. Paul that were written to confute Seducers were written by the same spirit and go the same way The summ of all is Repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ The doctrine of faith in Christ and the abrogation of the burdensome Ceremonious Jewish Law and that the Gentiles ●ere not bound to keep it is the summ of his doctrine 〈◊〉 summeth up all the Law in LOVE Rom. 13. ●●d in living soberly righteously and godly in the ●orld following the spirit and mortifying the lusts of the flesh living a holy and heavenly life in love and unity and peace And whereas pride and ignorance then began the dividing way and condemning Christians for tolerable differences he oft and plainly reproveth and confuteth this But most fully and purposely to the Romans Chap. 14. 15. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye but not to doubtful disputations or not to judge his doubtful thoughts instancing in differences about meats and dayes Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth for God hath received him Who art thou that judgest another mans servant to his own master he standeth or falleth Yea he shall be holden up for God is able to make him stand Let every man be fully perswaded or assured in his own mind He that regardeth a day regardeth it to the Lord c. But why dost thou judge thy brother or why dost thou set at naught thy brother For we shall all stand before the judgement-seat of Christ Let us not therefore judge one another any more but judge this rather that no man put a stumbling block in his brothers way If thy brother be grieved with thy meat now walkest thou not charitably Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ dyed For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God and approved of men Let us therefore follow after the things that make for peace and things wherewith one may edifie another For meat destroy not the work of God All things indeed are pure but it is evil for that man that eateth with offence I is good neither to eat flesh or drink wine nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth or is offended or ma●● weak And he that doubteth is damned if he eat be●cause he eateth not of faith For whatsoever is not 〈◊〉 faith is sin Ch. 15. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please our selves Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification For even Christ pleased not himself c. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorifie God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ wherefore receive ye one another as Christ also received us to the glory of God § 9. I know not what can be spoken more plain and home to the case in hand and the humane unnecessary impositions which have so many ages torn the Churches of Christ And yet all this is nothing to the Imposers The different exposition of this one part of Scripture hath had a great hand in the calamitous distractions silencings imprisonments scatterings that have been exercised in many Nations of the world The controversie lyeth here The One side say that All this was spoken by St. Paul only
