A13025 A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion.

do_v rather_o fight_v the_o battle_n of_o the_o spaniard_n as_o have_v respect_n unto_o his_o name_n so_o blaspheme_v by_o the_o turk_n but_o hereby_o do_v not_o christ_n jesus_n simple_o approve_v of_o the_o spanish_a religion_n but_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o turkish_a 9_o if_o it_o be_v further_o object_v that_o the_o most_o wicked_a that_o be_v do_v sometime_o prevail_v against_o

therefore_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o sound_a and_o firm_a enough_o to_o infer_v that_o which_o i_o infer_v thereof_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o lord_n indeed_o give_v sometime_o such_o victory_n unto_o the_o wicked_a against_o his_o own_o people_n but_o it_o be_v for_o some_o special_a sin_n of_o his_o people_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o example_n before_o allege_v for_o israel_n fall_v before_o the_o man_n of_o a_z for_o the_o sin_n of_o achan_n yea_o the_o lord_n say_v they_o can_v not_o stand_v before_o their_o enemy_n josh_n 7._o 12._o because_o of_o that_o sin_n again_o though_o the_o lord_n sometime_o give_v his_o people_n over_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o and_o their_o enemy_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o such_o miraculous_a manner_n without_o the_o force_n of_o the_o enemy_n against_o they_o himself_o fight_v from_o heaven_n for_o the_o enemy_n as_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o against_o the_o spaniard_n but_o always_o the_o enemy_n have_v prevail_v against_o the_o lord_n his_o people_n by_o great_a strength_n of_o flesh_n than_o the_o lord_n people_n have_v against_o they_o and_o by_o fight_v in_o their_o own_o person_n for_o touch_v the_o former_a example_n of_o ai_fw-fr joshua_n send_v but_o about_o 3000._o of_o the_o israelite_n against_o it_o josh_n 7._o 4._o but_o it_o be_v most_o like_a that_o they_o be_v repel_v by_o a_o far_o more_o great_a force_n for_o although_o they_o who_o joshua_n first_o send_v to_o view_v a_z return_v and_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o small_a people_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o great_a force_n than_o three_o thousand_o because_o when_o israel_n prevail_v against_o a_z to_o the_o number_n of_o twelve_o thousand_o josh_n 8._o 26._o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o other_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a they_o prosper_v they_o flourish_v they_o wax_v rich_a etc._n etc._n but_o it_o be_v by_o ordinary_a mean_n sometime_o also_o yea_o most_o common_o by_o

religion_n have_v so_o prosper_v and_o flourish_v in_o outward_a thing_n above_o that_o which_o they_o do_v whilst_o they_o be_v overgrow_v with_o popery_n that_o every_o man_n may_v evident_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o special_a blessing_n of_o god_n even_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o religion_n that_o have_v make_v we_o rich_a and_o thus_o to_o prosper_v again_o we_o have_v thus_o prosper_v though_o the_o wicked_a papist_n have_v see_v our_o prosperity_n and_o be_v angry_a yea_o though_o they_o have_v practise_v against_o we_o and_o gnash_v their_o tooth_n psal_n 37._o 12._o and_o 112._o 10._o the_o conclusion_n with_o the_o use_n of_o the_o treatise_n 1sith_o therefore_o that_o popery_n be_v not_o wrought_v in_o man_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o by_o tradition_n of_o man_n since_o it_o be_v uphold_v and_o maintain_v chief_o by_o wicked_a and_o unlawful_a mean_n since_o the_o proper_a substance_n and_o matter_n thereof_o be_v not_o only_o diverse_a from_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n but_o also_o direct_o contrary_a thereunto_o since_o the_o form_n of_o god_n worship_n in_o popery_n be_v not_o that_o which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v but_o that_o which_o man_n have_v devise_v and_o forge_v since_o the_o principal_a end_n of_o popery_n whereunto_o it_o refer_v all_o thing_n be_v not_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o the_o glory_n of_o saint_n of_o image_n of_o pope_n and_o general_o of_o man_n himself_o since_o the_o fruit_n of_o popery_n be_v such_o as_o god_n have_v express_o condemn_v in_o the_o decalogue_n and_o ten_o commandment_n give_v to_o all_o nation_n and_o for_o all_o time_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n since_o there_o be_v no_o sound_a joy_n and_o comfort_n grow_v upon_o the_o tree_n of_o popery_n but_o double_a fear_n and_o desperation_n since_o popery_n be_v a_o foolish_a and_o absurd_a religion_n since_o popery_n agreeable_a suitable_a and_o well_o please_v to_o the_o natural_a man_n which_o savour_v not_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o god_n since_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n his_o spirit_n promise_v to_o the_o church_n in_o the_o latter_a age_n thereof_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o church_n whilst_o it_o swerve_v not_o from_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n deliver_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v at_o a_o ebb_n and_o dead_a low_a water_n when_o popery_n be_v full_a sea_n since_o god_n have_v inflict_v from_o time_n to_o time_n manifest_a and_o strange_a judgement_n and_o punishment_n upon_o papist_n and_o such_o especial_o as_o have_v most_o malign_v our_o religion_n and_o the_o professor_n thereof_o since_o god_n have_v not_o regard_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o popish_a church_n neither_o have_v make_v their_o curse_n effectual_a against_o they_o who_o they_o have_v curse_v neither_o have_v give_v any_o good_a success_n to_o they_o for_o who_o they_o have_v make_v many_o prayer_n but_o have_v turn_v his_o curse_n into_o blessing_n &_o his_o blessing_n into_o curse_n therefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o popery_n be_v not_o of_o god_n neither_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n again_o since_o our_o religion_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o that_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n since_o it_o stand_v without_o all_o unlawful_a mean_n to_o uphold_v and_o maintain_v it_o since_o the_o matter_n thereof_o be_v altogether_o consonant_a with_o the_o write_a word_n since_o the_o form_n of_o god_n his_o worship_n therein_o touch_v the_o essence_n thereof_o be_v the_o same_o that_o god_n
