A43822	Nevv lords, nevv lavvs, or, A discovery of a grand usurpation, in opposition to the Holy Laws of God and contempt of the good laws, and royal prerogative of the supream magistrate, as it hath been lately practised by the lordly Matthew Caffin, a pretended true apostle of our blessed Lord and Saviour, and ruling head of his congregation, usually meeting at Southwater near Horsham in Sussex.

time_n before_o his_o act_n of_o cruelty_n practise_v against_o i_o i_o take_v a_o occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o sudden_a death_n of_o a_o woman_n of_o his_o congregation_n he_o say_v he_o can_v not_o see_v how_o she_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n mean_v heaven_n for_o that_o she_o die_v under_o admonition_n without_o confession_n or_o to_o that_o effect_n whereupon_o i_o allege_v that_o for_o aught_o any_o one_o know_v she_o may_v repent_v of_o her_o sin_n before_o she_o die_v he_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o if_o she_o do_v unless_o she_o have_v make_v confession_n that_o so_o she_o may_v be_v forgive_v by_o himself_o for_o you_o must_v know_v the_o controversy_n lie_v not_o between_o the_o poor_a woman_n and_o the_o church_n but_o between_o herself_o and_o his_o lordship_n who_o will_v have_v be_v her_o confessor_n nor_o do_v he_o at_o this_o time_n know_v but_o that_o she_o may_v confess_v her_o sin_n to_o some_o other_o person_n but_o do_v she_o or_o do_v she_o not_o for_o want_v of_o articular_a cofession_n and_o his_o pardon_n he_o can_v not_o see_v any_o hope_n judge_v now_o i_o pray_v you_o oh_o all_o you_o who_o understanding_n and_o judgement_n be_v not_o cloud_v with_o idolatrous_a zeal_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o a_o infallible_a mark_n of_o popish_a infallibility_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o his_o own_o conceit_n the_o key_n of_o heaven_n and_o hell_n so_o that_o who_o be_v himself_o bind_v on_o earth_n be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o who_o himself_o lose_v on_o earth_n be_v loose_v in_o heaven_n as_o if_o there_o be_v none_o in_o heaven_n that_o have_v power_n above_o he_o that_o may_v make_v any_o alteration_n without_o his_o licence_n or_o consent_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o many_o be_v apt_a to_o suppose_v that_o this_o offence_n in_o the_o good_a woman_n and_o i_o think_v a_o very_a good_a woman_n too_o for_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o can_v accuse_v she_o beside_o the_o unjust_a judge_n be_v very_o great_a i_o therefore_o will_v give_v a_o account_n of_o her_o crime_n which_o be_v thus_o this_o woman_n daughter_n in_o law_n be_v always_o cross_a &_o unkind_a as_o be_v observe_v by_o many_o go_v out_o because_o of_o their_o disagreement_n to_o service_n and_o home_o she_o come_v again_o with_o a_o great_a belly_n at_o which_o the_o honest_a old_a woman_n be_v great_o displease_v and_o will_v not_o give_v her_o entertainment_n this_o be_v the_o whole_a matter_n and_o fact_n he_o charge_v against_o she_o which_o she_o must_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v sin_n and_o make_v confession_n to_o he_o that_o she_o be_v sorry_a for_o so_o do_v or_o else_o according_a to_o his_o popeship_n principle_n she_o must_v be_v damn_v eternal_o i_o pray_v sir_n observe_v the_o charity_n of_o this_o tender_a tyrannical_a lobe_v brother_n and_o judge_n which_o of_o the_o two_o he_o have_v most_o kindness_n for_o the_o mother_n or_o the_o daughter_n some_o of_o you_o perhaps_o may_v blame_v i_o say_v these_o be_v private_a thing_n and_o that_o if_o i_o do_v see_v a_o evil_a tendency_n in_o they_o i_o ought_v not_o after_o this_o public_a manner_n to_o detect_v it_o but_o first_o admonish_v the_o offender_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n and_o meekness_n in_o private_a and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o do_v to_o take_v two_o or_o three_o more_o and_o if_o he_o refuse_v to_o reform_v then_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o church_n and_o not_o render_v he_o odious_a to_o all_o whereunto_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o some_o of_o you_o and_o of_o myself_o his_o popeship_n have_v teach_v i_o another_o lesson_n nor_o do_v i_o ever_o find_v such_o christian_a carriage_n from_o he_o or_o his_o legate_n that_o will_v have_v a_o man_n damn_v for_o offend_v his_o idol_n rather_o than_o for_o displease_v the_o most_o high_a let_v it_o not_o then_o be_v grievous_a to_o receive_v the_o same_o measure_n you_o have_v already_o meet_v and_o withal_o remember_v that_o the_o difference_n between_o sin_n commit_v through_o delusion_n or_o weakness_n be_v repent_v of_o and_o never_o justify_v and_o wickedness_n practise_v upon_o deliberation_n justify_v by_o authority_n or_o defend_v by_o lie_n and_o deceit_n be_v very_o great_a nor_o have_v i_o be_v so_o large_a on_o this_o particular_a have_v i_o not_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o his_o great_a delight_n in_o auricular_a confession_n which_o thing_n he_o improve_v to_o bring_v person_n into_o subjection_n second_o that_o i_o have_v not_o learn_v this_o lesson_n from_o your_o own_o practice_n and_o take_v this_o way_n have_v it_o not_o be_v that_o you_o be_v constrain_v as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v i_o for_o say_v you_o all_o excommunicate_v person_n will_v complain_v and_o therefore_o i_o may_v not_o be_v believe_v nor_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o say_v regard_v but_o whether_o i_o be_v believe_v or_o not_o this_o i_o know_v and_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n i_o can_v say_v that_o i_o have_v say_v no_o more_o of_o he_o than_o what_o i_o know_v to_o be_v true_a or_o what_o will_v be_v justify_v by_o other_o but_o here_o perhaps_o some_o of_o the_o weak_a brethren_n may_v say_v that_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o preach_v against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o call_v her_o whore_n and_o harlot_n but_o never_o hear_v he_o preach_v against_o their_o pretend_a infallibility_n and_o therefore_o methinks_v i_o hear_v some_o of_o they_o put_v the_o question_n to_o i_o say_v object_n you_o speak_v much_o against_o infallibility_n but_o pray_v tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v and_o show_v we_o why_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o believe_v that_o our_o dear_a apostle_n be_v infallible_a answ_n to_o which_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o such_o as_o be_v real_o weak_a according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n i_o ready_o answer_v first_o that_o for_o a_o person_n or_o person_n to_o be_v infallible_a be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o they_o can_v err_v or_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v mistake_v second_o if_o you_o believe_v any_o person_n infallible_a you_o must_v also_o believe_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o or_o they_o enjoin_v or_o compel_v in_o matter_n religious_a or_o civil_a whether_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n or_o obedience_n you_o who_o be_v under_o their_o government_n must_v of_o necessity_n embrace_v or_o submit_v unto_o or_o otherwise_o be_v damn_a hereafter_o or_o present_o send_v to_o hell_n by_o separate_v of_o your_o soul_n from_o your_o body_n with_o fire_n and_o faggot_n or_o what_o other_o torment_v they_o shall_v please_v to_o invent_v since_o they_o can_v err_v but_o whatever_o they_o do_v here_o on_o earth_n be_v please_v to_o god_n who_o may_v not_o make_v any_o alteration_n without_o their_o consent_n thus_o if_o he_o who_o you_o own_o for_o infallible_a shall_v declare_v that_o scripture_n be_v corrupt_a and_o dangerous_a because_o they_o say_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n you_o must_v believe_v they_o be_v so_o or_o else_o be_v damn_v and_o all_o the_o congregation_n must_v say_v amen_n if_o he_o shall_v declare_v the_o good_a law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n be_v unjust_a and_o not_o to_o be_v regard_v you_o must_v believe_v it_o and_o act_v according_o on_o the_o same_o penalty_n if_o he_o who_o be_v infallible_a to_o cover_v his_o deceit_n and_o carry_v on_o a_o design_n require_v you_o to_o tell_v a_o lie_n and_o say_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o offence_n to_o you_o when_o in_o truth_n the_o offence_n be_v his_o own_o and_o not_o you_o for_o you_o understand_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v yet_o you_o must_v do_v it_o or_o be_v damn_v if_o he_o or_o they_o who_o be_v thus_o infallible_a shall_v condemn_v a_o person_n for_o that_o which_o in_o its_o self_n be_v lawful_a and_o by_o he_o lawful_o use_v and_o not_o abuse_v you_o must_v join_v with_o they_o though_o against_o god_n word_n reason_n and_o your_o own_o conscience_n and_o may_v not_o trade_n with_o such_o person_n so_o as_o to_o buy_v or_o sell_v for_o he_o though_o you_o be_v his_o servant_n or_o be_v damn_v if_o he_o who_o be_v infallible_a shall_v declare_v against_o those_o who_o be_v honest_a godly_a officer_n and_o member_n of_o several_a congregation_n in_o london_n that_o he_o do_v not_o own_v they_o you_o must_v thenceforth_o never_o regard_v what_o they_o do_v or_o say_v or_o be_v damn_v if_o he_o who_o be_v infallible_a judge_v it_o lawful_a to_o be_v a_o evesdropper_n to_o creep_v into_o a_o house_n and_o stand_v behind_o a_o wall_n to_o hear_v the_o secret_a discourse_n of_o woman_n you_o must_v by_o no_o mean_n say_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o ill_a
