A44794	The heart of New-England hardned through wickednes in answer to a book, entituled the Heart of New-England rent, published by John Norton appointed thereunto by the General Court. The doctrine of the Quakers uindicated [sic], his ignorance manifested, and his lying doctrines brought to light and judged with the word of truth, and truth cleared from his aspersions and slanders. By him that waits to see the throne of righteousness exalted above all deceit. Francis Howgill.	Howgill, Francis, 1618-1669.	1659 (1659)	Wing H3166; ESTC R223647	32,471	42

calls a Political Church which must all be scattered with the breath of his mouth and with the brightness of his coming whom thou yet Judges to be gross darkness In thy 18th page in the 44th page thou speaks That visible Political Church Church-Officers and Church-Ordinances are Gospel Institutions appointed by Christ to continue to the end of the world and that Command which Paul gave to Timothy is to be kept and that visible Political Church Estate is to continue to the end of the world Answ. I see thou art ignorant of God Christ Heaven Church Church-Officers Ordinances and Institutions the Churches of Christ were established by and in the Power of God and the Ministers thereof ministred walked and ruled in the Power of God and the Ordinances and Institutions of the true Church of God are pure and spiritual but the Church that thou art pleading for the continuation thereof is a Political Church Political Ordinances Political Officers Political Institutions Political Pastors and Teachers the Lords Supper a Political Ordinance Baptism a Political Ordinance the spiritual Councel which Paul gave to Timothy about the Elders of the Church and about the Holy Practise which they were to walk in and the godly conversation this thou calls Political nay furthermore thou saist Heaven stands in Policy and in thy fourth Chap. saith To Christ belongs the prerogative of being the onely Politician these and the like damnable doctrines and heresies thou hast uttered forth and these must be proved from the first of Tim. 3. 1● and Chap. 3. did Paul when he wrote to Timothy when he gave him direction about Elders and such as took care of the Church of God did he say a Bishop is a Political Officer and must be blameless or did he say a Deacon is a Polical Officer and must be grave And therefore Reader thou may read these Scriptures 1 Tim. 6. 14. 1 Cor. 14. 33. and thou maist see this Sophister and this man that is void of understanding who cryeth up the Scripture for a Rule of life and yet holds such a Church such Pastors such Officers such Ordinances such Institutions which the Scripture makes no mention of and therefore this man having made a Monstrous body a Politick Church he imagines a head like it and therefore blasphemously saith Christ is the greatest Politician much I need not say unto this black dark stuff which is to be confounded which is imaginary and deceit which the wrath of God must scatter but this I say to thee there was no Officers in the Church of Christ but they were Ministers made so by the Spirit and were made so by the Holy Ghost and were Ministers of the Spirit and not of the Letter and some were Elders and Ruled in the Church and Churches which was sanctified by God the Father and preserved in Christ Jesus and these were spiritual and not Political but thou hast cleared and quitted your selves from being any such Church and that which you call the Sacrament which thou calls visible and Political and brings 1 Cor. 12. for thy proof did Paul say as often as ye eat this Political bread and drink this visible Political Cup you shew forth the Lords death till he come and did Christ when he sent forth his Disciples to preach and to Baptize in the 28th of Matth. 19. which thou pleads must continue until the end of the world did he send them and say go and Teach and Preach the visible Politick Word of the kingdom and Baptize them with visible Political water and that this should continue to the end of the world And little marvel if the Throne of Sathan be exalted among you and such Ministers as thou who Ministers deceit and unrighteousness and ungodliness art set to be a Teacher and appointed so by the General Court who cannot speak a form of sound words but like a Phylosopher a Star-ga●er an Astrologian or a Stage-player which them that reads thy book will see thy tract frothed with such black dark sentences which are like Enchantments As for Beckold and Knipperdolling and Quintinius and Poquius thou might have taken up thy Pen ere now and not have brought all this rambling stuff out of the History of the Germans which thou wouldst cast upon our backs the Bishops used to cast it upon your backs and you upon the Baptists backs but now we must bear all and ●●ou in envy unto us that thereby thou might represent us odious to the world hath made them all Quakers and saith they are our Predecessours take them to thy self and joyn them to your Political Church and your Political Ordinances and your Politick Doctrines which is of the same nature with theirs which you maintain and uphold with carnal weapons as they did theirs And last of all thou art coming to the Magistrates power in matters of Religion under the Gospel and thou saith Notwithstanding manifold evils prevails and the wiles of the Devil are great and malignant and heresie which is a horrid aspect yet thou saith There is Balm in Gilead and a Physician there and the Balm and the Physician is that thou saith God hath armed the Magistrate with Civil power for the defence of Religion through the Concurrences of Devine Benediction and the Magi●trate is to vindicate the truth of God and also exercise his Power for curing the Offenders and for his proof he brings 1 Tim. 1. 2● of whom is Hymenius and Alexander whom I have delivered up unto Sathan Ans It seems your Gospel that you preach hath not power in it to prevail against Heresie neither your weapons are able to prevail which are but carnal and so the Power to suppress Heresie and Convince Gain-sayers is wholly without you and though you Censure and Excommunicate and deliver up to Sathan as you say yet you being in Sathans power that which is against you hath Power over you and therefore you are fain to cry up the Beasts power which alwayes made War with the Saints under the name of Hereticks and you say that in exercising of his Power is but defensive I say yes it is offensive and distructive to the Government of Christ and his Prerogative unto whom all Power belongs both in Heaven and Earth and the Government lies upon his shoulders who is a wonderful Councellor of whose Government there is no end and he is able to defend his Church and further more to take away thy objection is willing and furthermore hath promised to keep his Church that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it and therefore thou who would have the civil Magistrate to intrude into those things which belongs not to him would have them Usurpers and Traytors unto Christ the Prince of Peace and the King of his People and head of the Church his body unto whom absolute Power and Soveraignity belongeth and Glory which he will not give to another And as for all the proofs which thou brings of
