2 That Christ did onely satisfie for the sins against the first covenant not for the sinnes against the second c. 3 Every man satisfies for himself for the sinnes against the second Covenant namely unbelief c. 4 That men may be saved without Christ and the very heathens are saved if they serve God according to that knowledge God hath given them though they never heard of Christ 5 That there is no Originall sinne in us onely Adams first sinne was Originall 6 That the guilt of Adams sin is imputed to no man New Errors tending to Libertinisme 1 That God hath a hand in and is the authour of the sinfulnesse of his people 2 That it is the will and command of God that since the coming of his sonne a permission of the most Paganish Jewish Turkish or Antichristian consciences and worship be granted to all men in all nations and countreys 3 That no man was cast into hell for any sinne but onely God would have it so 4 That man had life before God breathed into him and that which God breathed into him was part of the Divine Essence and shall return unto God again 5 That the Prince of the Aire that rules in the children of disobedience is God and that there is no other Spirit but one which Spirit is God 6 That God hath not decreed all the actions of men because men doing what God decreed do not sinne 7 That God was never displeased with men for if he were and pleased again there is a changeablenesse in God 8 That God loves not one man more then another before the world neither is there any particular election but onely generall and conditionall the Scriptures no where speaking of reprobates or reprobation There are many more recited by Master Edwards and Master Paget and others but this is not the way to decrease Errors by a violent furious repetition of them A discovery of fewer Errors solidly confuted will if done in the spirit of Love prove a better imployment then to discover hundreds and spend nothing but wrath and fleshly carnall censures upon them certainly it would be far more acceptable to God and Jesus Christ to turn one that is going on in an Errour then to discover one hundred for him to fall into It is a great sin in many to pry into Gods secrets and it is as great a sinne also in many to set too high a price upon Ignorance I shall end with those Scripture admonitions desiring they may be more seriously thought on then yet they are by both parties But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts rejoyce not c. Iames 3. 14. This wisdome descendeth not from above but is earthly sensuall and divelish 15. For where envying and strife is there is sedition and all manner of evil works 16.

A relation of Heresies describing the Original Ring-leaders of the same the time when they first bgan to spread with a discovery of those described in our times and first of the Jesuits THE Originall of these was one Loyola a Spanish souldier they beare the name of Jesus but came from the Devil the Father of Lyes This Order was confirmed by Paul the third Bishop of Rome in Anno 1540. Their Errours are many but the chief are these viz. 1 They presumptuously arrogate to themselves the name of Jesus a name above all names and their chief generall equall with Christ 2 These chiefly maintain the Popes temporall power as well as his Spiritual whereby he may depose Kings 3 They deny the oath of allegeance 4 They do not teach it to be lawfull to murther Christian Kings but meritorious also 5 the Jesuits teach and maintain that the Pope only is Jure Divino a Bishop that all others hold from him Socinians Socinianisme was so named from Lelius Socinus in Master Calvins time his opinions broached by letters First concerning God 1 That there is no naturall knowledge of God whereby to instant men to acknowledge or beleeve the Deity 1 That the Incarnation of Christ is repugnant to reason can no way sufficiently be proved out of Scripture 3 That Christ is not truly God and that the belief of his Divine nature is not agreeable to Scripture 4 That Christ did not by his death satisfie for our sins 5 That the Holy ghost is not God 6 That it is repugnant to the word of God to believe three persons and one God 7 That man in the state of innocencie was not created in originall righteousnesse 8 That the old Testament is not necessary for a Christian man though it may be profitably read Arminians So called from James Arminius of Leydon in the Low countreys in the year 1605.
