A69596	An apology or defence for the requisite refuting of the shamefull, disgracefull writings and horrible libell against the book of true repentance and of true resignation which Gregory Rickter, Primate of Goerlits, hath spread abroad against it in open print answered in the year of Christ 1624, 10 Aprill / by Jacob Behme, also called Teutonicus Philosophus ; Englished by John Sparrow.; Schutz-Rede wieder Gregorium Richter.

Doctor and a New Prophet Answer 152. Thomas said to CHRIST My LORD and my GOD Joh. 20. 28. and Christ did not speak against it now there is no higher Name then GOD therefore it is likely the Primate seldom readeth the BIBLE seeing he doth not know that Christ took a higher Title then Master and before Pilate he said I am indeed a King Luke 23. John 18. 33. 153. It is a Wonder to me that seeing he hath studied so much he is not yet come to that place where CHRISTS Titles stand IN the SCRIPTURE 154. But that he saith the Shoemaker will be called Doctor and a New Prophet that is only his Fiction as Men use in such Libells to seign after the Manner of Poets The People need not beleeve it all for a good Man may now and then Erre especially when a Man is Drunk an puts on a Vizard a Man can not know him and though he were High-Priest if men see him go so from one house to another then People say there comes a Fool and many may well say it were the Devill But it is not all true the People give them only such a Title when they assume such Images shapes or Gestures afterwards they become Men again when they put off the Vizard many a one goeth so only that he may come to his Paramour or where then he makes some foolish Occasion but men should not in such matters beleeve the Title when the People say one with a Vizard is such a Beast it is Death or the Devill No he is but a captive of the Devill 155. Thus also men Should not beleeve when the Primate puts Titles upon the Shoemaker and calleth him A Heretick A Sectary Fool Phantastick or Fanatick Enthusiastick A Rascally Knave A forsworn or perjured Shoemaker and more like that they are such stretched strained Names like a Vizard which the Devill puts upon him because he is in strife and at odds with him It is not good to beleeve though the High-Priest himself say it men may be deceived for great people may be mistaken for the Pharisees were mistaken in CHRISTS Titles how then will the Primate not be mistaken in the Shoemakers Titles seeing he knows that he is but a Laick and he knoweth not the Name of CHRIST-in him 156. The good LORD sure was once with some Shoemaker who had touched the Blacking which made him stink whence is so very much angered offended and enraged that he supposeth that THIS Shoemaker alwayes smells of that colouring and therefore he is so fiercely enraged against the Shoemakers Titles likely some Shoemakers Pitch remains sticking to his Hands that is dryed to them and in that regard he giveth the Shoemaker such abominable Names that he is still angry at it He can not endure the Shoemaker yet and is afraid the Shoemaker may defile his own Pen and therefore forbids him to use it O Primate the Shoemaker hath his Titles IN himselfe you can not defile them he will Eternally keep THEM well nough Libell 157. CHRIST gave the Thirsty water of Eternal Life to drink But the Shoemaker runs every Morning to the Brande-wine or Strong-water or the Water of Death Answer 158. Christ at this very day bestoweth on his Children Water of Life and giveth them His bloud of Love to drink that very water he giveth to my thirsty Soul to drink for which I thank him Eternally that he hath through this Water made me living and Seeing that very water I drink and that is a water for or against Death though the Primate speaketh thereof in a perverted way 159. But that he saith I run every Morning to the Brande-wine or Strong-Water that is not true I may not nor cannot drink any Brande-wine and have a long time had a dislike against it it is contrery to me so that I do not willingly smell to it It is a wonder to me that he being a High-Priest should be so very much mistaken he would look upon it very ill if a mean Man should doe so then a Man would say he were a Lyar I know not at all what answer I should give to such untruth I beleeve verily that the Satanicall spirit of Errour hath feigned this untruth 160. I counsell you that you hunt that away from you it defileth you with such untruth very much but if you will have it right then set before me an honest honourable Man of credit whether he be in the City or out of the City whoever he be that can with truth say he seeth me every Morning at the Brande-wine I appeal to the whole City and a Noble Councellours Cellar Keeper whether there be any Man that can say so of me 161. It is a great shame that you cause such untruth to be printed to the reproach of another with you men may well find great Cups and Glasses of Brande-wine but as you are mistaken and do erre in this so you are mistaken also in all other Articles of the Libell there is not one of them true in the sense you represent them Libell 162. CHRIST scarce drank any wine but the Shoemaker guzzles freely Outlandish wine and Brande-wine Answer 163. Christ made Water to be good Wine John 2. and is himself the Good Wine for the thirsty Soul which my Soul freely loves to drink of but that the Primate saith I love to guzzle Outlandish Wine and Brande-wine that he takes from his own Example and thinketh another doth as himselfe doth O no we poor men have not to pay for it we must be content with a draught of Beer or small Drink as we can buy it but men must give the Primate Outlandish wine indeed though other Guests at the same time must be content with smaller 164. Spanish wine causeth that Men sometime want or loose the Primate for a while also men may see by the red Wine-pimples in his Face that he drinketh strong Wine much more then I for I have no such signs of it as he he drinks more forraign wine in a week then I in a whole year 165. But I understand very well where the matter pincheth He knoweth that I through divine appointment have often been requested to go to Great Lords and Noble-men then thinks he when we come to meet we sit together and quaff our Fill as he useth to do with his Companions But No! the Nobility and Potentates in Authority which are served with full draughts do not cause me to be sent for to them but only honest Lords fearing God who earnestly seek after Salvaiton 166. But there is in the Primate a Mistrust and grutching he thinketh somewhat is going away from him but he need not fear it Those People which desire to have ME they desire not to have HIM at all there is a great difference between Hypocrisie or Flattery and telling the Truth to ones Face whether the Primate will beleeve it or no it is not my Custome to slatter the Rich for gifts
