a Chollerick fit and that he speaks in passion but I must therein undeceive them for I would not abuse him I think all the world cannot put him into the least shew of Passion and that Matchiaevel might have been his Pupil in the Arts of Dissimulation He salutes you as Joab did Abner with a Kiss and all hail my Brother but at the same time fails not to smite you under the fifth rib In brief he kills you with pure kindness and under pretence of the highest Love makes you an example of Sober Revenge By which means he so far deludes the poor weak Brethren that they cannot but believe whatever he doth is for holy ends But further observe I pray Whether this great pretended Charitable Principle will lead If the Case be so That whoever offends the weak Brethren must be condemned and that they may be offended with persons for doing that which is honest and lawful and meerly of a civil nature as he saith they may then suppose that the Church did consist of the greatest number and strongest party in the Nation and that the Baser or Common sort as he calls them whose part he hath taken were agreed and this New Lord their chief Conducter Command●r and Law-given And the weak Brethren through his Instigation or otherwise declare That it is a very great Offence to them That the King should have his Crown Dignity and Prerogative and all Persons within his Dominions to be his Subjects and therefore they cannot but be offended till he hath otherwise disposed of the same for the wearing of Gold Silver and Ribonds he hath already voted insufferable And as we say in the vulgar Proverb If his Cap be made of Wool he shall pay the Debt so if his Majesties Crown be made of Gold It seems he must submit or be dealt with considering I say you are not to have respect of persons in judgment nor any amongst you dare make opposition upon pain and peril of Excommunication What I pray what may the King do in this Case for as he is a member he may not by your Law offend a weak Brother upon pain of suffering Eternal Damnation if he believe as the Church believes and also to resist the Commands of this upstart Lord Ecclesiastick he may not because they are the greatest number and at his request must prosecute with the greatest force and vigor Again what if the weak Brethren should take a fancy or be perswaded to make a King of him who is so humble so holy and always ready to please them by making the rich and strong submit to his and their own wills and pleasures would he not say within himself Ob this is pleasant But suppose as the Popes at their Election he should pretend himself unwilling and with hypocritical prayers and perhaps Tears but of joy seem to beg heartily to be excused yet at last rather than offend the weak Brethren he must yield and give them satisfaction For may he not say It is better for me to be a Rebel than be damn'd for offending the weak Brethren I cannot in Conscience deny it is my duty to accept it when they will not be contented without it c. But possibly it may be objected and said That I am upon the Extreams in this supposition and speak of things so far from being heard of heretofore or apprehended hereafter that they are wholly unimaginable To which I answer that in some measure the like hath been practised by John the Taylor King of Leyden and that to the great infamy and abuse of many innocent honest and peaceable Professors to this very day Be not therefore over Confident but know that wiser men and I do believe no less strict holy and zealous then your selves have been deluded and seduced For Zeal without true knowledge is most dangerous I will only give you one instance in that godly man A●hington who was learned both in Scripture and Law and a very sober conscientious religious person yet he and another being stronger in zeal than Judgement were so far deluded and seduced as verily to believe That one Hacket by reason of his great protestations of holy zeal for Gods glory and the Churches Reformation was the most holy man that ever was born the Lord Jesus excepted And secondly ●at he was immediately fent from the Lord in Heaven to prepare his way before him To deal severely with all opposers and doe great things for such as would be conformable and obedient to their Lord and Saviour And thirdly That the said Hacket should be Emperor of all Europe and all other Kings and Princes be in subjection to him Nay further in short time they proceeded to that height of blind zeal and impiety That by such delusions they were led and constrained to go into Cheapside and there openly Proclaim him the said Hacket to be the Lord Jesus come from Heaven and that in such a place people might find him Lastly when they all three to wi● the Seducer and the seduced were apprehended and sent to three several Prisons that they could not see each other till they were brought before the Queen viz. Elizabeth and her Honourable Councel where seeing Hacket again this poor deluded Arthington possest with a transport of misplaced zeal could not refrain but fell down to him on his Knees before them all saying God save the King of Europe Nor could he be dispossessed of this Spirit of Delusion till he heard that the said Hacket was executed and those wretched and blasphemous Speeches he uttered upon the Ladder viz. If there be a God in Heaven he will rid me out of these Villains hands If he do not I will pull him from his throne and within few days destroy this City with Fire and Brimstone meaning London for you must note This poor seduced man did believe they had not power to put him to death This news coming to Arthingtons Ears he was immediately dispossessed of that seducing Spirit and through Grace recovered out of that wretched estate and became again a very godly Man but his Companion whose name was Coppinger when he heard of the Villain Hackets desperate end fell distracted and dyed mad Be not therefore my beloved pressumptuously confident but beware I pray beware how you close with justifie or defend any usurped Power when there is no Scripture Authority for it Remember that this Hacket was altogether as great a Pretender to Holiness as your Seducer See the Book intituled Athington's Seduction and Repentance and although the Story seem strange yet most true it is and acted in London no longer ago than in the days of Queen Elizaheth Now my beloved if you find that he yet will justifie or endeavor by deceit and subtilty to excuse what he hath wickedly done let not his former righteousness be regarded until by plain demonstrations he shew that such his Evil is repented of Keep close to your unerring Rule the Divine Word for
