of in the places most infamous for that evill whether Amsterdam or Pole or Transilvania and if you please to joyn all the three in one but all are among us and divers more then in any of the places mentioned were ever heard of Their evidence in this to me seems palpable 2 By their grossenesse that however at their first appearance they did waken a great expectation by their faire promises of New-Light of New-found-Truths of New-wayes leading to extraordinary pietie The new-light of all our Innovators is nothing but old darknesse yet after a little inspection and commerce to un-ingaged and im-prejudicate mindes they are found to be no other but the very same dead karcases of old Heresies and Schisines which by the happie labours of the Reformed Divines in this and other Churches lay buried in their grave of oblivion and abomination till their late infaust resurrection That new Canterburian-Protestantisme which the other day so much bewitched the Court and Country So it is in the Canterburians is now seen to have been nothing but masked Popery but a high path-royall way to Rome a Schoole of Idolatry Heresie Treachery and mercilesse bloodshed These Gospell-truths The Antinomians these sweet Sermons of Free-grace that setting up of naked Christ on his Throne which hath seduced so many thousands of well-meaning souls do now appear in their own colours and to any common eye may be seen to be nothing but the grosse Antinomy of the old Libertines These innocent scruples of tender consciences only about the grounds of Pedo-baptisme The Anabaptists whither have they now led some millions not of the worst of our people See we not that without any leave so much as asked of the Magistrate very great numbers of Churches are erected by them of formall and avowed Anabaptists These specious and popular Invectives against Tyrannie and Persecution The Libertines those plausible Harangues for a liberty onely to examine without prejudice what was proponed under the name of a Divine Truth whether at last hath it carried multitudes who esteem themselves among the most rationall of men Have they not opened in the midst of our streets the old Pantheon of Paganish Rome resolutely asserting an absolute Freedom for Turks Jews Pagans Papists and if there be any worse Religions not onely to live in all quietnesse among us but to be permitted without any Discouragement to follow their Consciences and so to employ themselves daily in the most advantagious places private or publike with so much art and diligence as they can use to draw all the world toward their wicked Professions And not to run out upon all the rest of our old renewed Errours that so much-extolled Independency The Independents wherein many Religious souls for the time do wander which is the chief hand that opened at first and keepeth open to this day the door to all the other Errours that plague us What is it else but a Limb or rather Apologet. Nar. the large half of the Body of old Brownism as it s own Patrons confesse a middle way betwixt the Reformed Churches and the Brownists the same Way which Morellius seduced by the Dutch Anabaptists did labour to bring into FRANCE but by B●za and Sadaell in two Generall Assemblies it was so fully confuted that to this day all the Churches there do d●test it Yet Bolton and Brown would needs bring it into ENGLAND These two are the known Fathers of English Independency men whose Inventions cannot be much loved for their authors sake when they are well known Among all the Protestant Divines that ever ENGLAND bred Robinsons Justif p. 50. I doubt if any have been more scandalous either in life or death then the two former as their chief followers are forced to acknowledge Few Prelaticall men have gone beyond Brown in Profanity from his Youth to his Old-age And Judas himself was no more abominable then Bolton in his death I have oft marvelled how the Invention of so infamous Authors could be entertained by men of understanding especially since God did openly brand that their Conception with the Marks of his Displeasure not onely in its Birth but in all the passages of its Life wherever yet it hath set foot on ground The fruits of Bolton and Browns Independency at Amsterdam have been so eminently scandalous Apologet. Nar. that its own friends can finde no cover of excuse for them The Divisions and Rents that sprang from the same root when it was planted in some better ground Edwards Antapol at Arnhem and Roterdam have been no lesse unhappie and bitter But that which demonstrates the Genuine Nature of this Plant is its fruits in New-England where without any Incumbrance from without or from within having all the Advantages Civil and Ecclesiastick which could be wished it got leave to put out its full strength In a short time there it brought forth such a multitude of grosse Heresies and Divisions as did threaten not the Churches alone but the Civil State also with a totall Ruine If our Hopes of it here may be much better for any of its fruits which yet we have tasted wise men will pronounce The third Character wherewith the Finger of God hath stigmatized the Errours of this place 5. By their increase is Their Incredible encrease It can hardly be shewn where Errour in so short a time hath made so great a Conquest For however as I am informed all the Fowls that yet have made their Nest in the last Branch whereof we did speak may easily be numbred being no ways so many as some would make them yet if ye look upon the whole Tree in all its Branches it will be found to have drawn under its shadow a marvellous multitude of Creatures These last four yeers it seems more people here have made Apostacie to one Errour or other of their own accord without the violence of any Persecution then in all the Reformed Churches together for an hundred yeers and above Errour of it self is of no such conquering strength did not the Justice of God give men over to be captivated by its Delusions The fourth Demonstration of a Divine Judgement in our Errours 4.
