Indignation of God and as if that were not enough to fill his blasphemous throat he adds a double one of St. Peter and Paul implying his own as the root of his bitterness In fine Our Text casts an imperative reiterated Curse upon whomsoever in Heaven or Earth Apostle or Angel that preacheth any thing as Gospel besides what was already preached even at the first preaching of which the Creed is a Catholick Sum. How monstrous then is the Papal presumption To retort this Curse upon the Spirit of God to wit upon all that in obedience to that Spirit admits not the Gospel he preacheth which is not only besides what was first preacht but evidently new ●nd repugnant A Symbol of Papal definitions elevated by Papal Decree above the prerogative of the written Law and Gospel of Christ amplified without limit numero pondere mensurâ in number weight and measure Not we therefore whom God hath commanded to bless them that curse us But God the Father of all Mercies as well as the Avenger of the Impious will decide yea hath decided in his holy Word this day declared in your ears the Cause of his holy Gospel Let us not fear the terrour of Man but submit to the power of Christ Jesus subscribing to his holy written Testament on Earth that our Names may be written in the Book of Life in Heaven Let us fight a good fight of constant Faith in the true Catholick and Apostolick Church of Christ militant on Earth which Name is no way due to the Romish Synagogue For she denies the Catholick doctrine of the Gospel and the Apostolical legacie of the Creed seeking to establish a Gospel and Creed of her own on Papal authority and Romish tradition whence her name is Papal or Roman and not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Church consisting of Members called and chosen by the calling of Christ and the Word of his Spirit but rather 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a City or Synagogue convened and driven together by political stratagems and powerful coaction But as the Scriptures are certainly the Catholick Testament of Christ and the Creed an Apostolical Legacy of Faith So whatsoever Church maintains these as at this day Our Church of England is truly Catholick and Apostolical Now rejoyce thou Spouse of Christ Prosper and flourish gloriously thou House of God thou Church of England The Heavens reap perpetual harvest of Joy and Glory in the Saints that ascend to the Tabernacles of Immortality from the Tents of thy Militia The Angels ever protect and guard thee that the gates of Hell cannot prevail against thee The Queens also of the Earth that is thy Sisters the other Reformed Churches of Christ admire praise and honour thee but to speak thy happiness in a word God loveth thee for Thou art that Philadelphia that beloved Sister of Christ to which the Spirit speaks Rev. 3.9 I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee Because thou hast kept the word of my patience I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the Earth Behold I come quickly hold that fast which thou hast that no man take thy Crown That is You Pastors and People of the Church of England hold fast the form of sound words which you have in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus 2 Tim. 1.13 Hold fast the Primitive Gospel of the Kingdom which consisteth in Faith unfeigned in Jesus Christ and in such Love one to another as Christ loved us withal That no man take thy Crown Not only Men by humane Traditions and politick inventions will rob thy temporal Crown usurping Supremacy but even thy right to the Crown of eternity will as soon leave thee as thou shalt leave thy first Faith and Charity To conclude Take a short Corollary or Recapitulation of all that hath been said First it hath on one side been manifestly evidenced from the Word of God that the Gospel of the Kingdom that is the Repentance to which Christ promised his Kingdom is to believe and love to believe in the Saviour Jesus and to keep his Commandments Secondly on the other side it hath been manifestly evidenced from the solemn profession of Faith in the present Church of Rome canonized by Pope Pius Quartus that she imposeth as necessary to salvation a far heavier burden than that Gospel of Christ to wit the Creed or Gospel of Trent Thirdly it is evident in our Text that it is not in the power of Apostle or Angel much less of a Pope to impose another Gospel than that of Christ And then in fine Fourthly it must needs be evident that whosoever is so much a Christian as to believe the Scriptures and so much a reasonable Man as to distinguish between one Gospel and another must needs acknowledge the Church of Rome to preach another Gospel than that of Christ and consequently if he loves and hopes eternal life will desert that Church which leaves the paths of the Gospel of life and seek to be Member of such a Christian body as adheres to its head Jesus Christ by a sincere adhesion to his saving Gospel Such is the Evangelical Apostolical and Catholick Church of England in which God maintain and increase the Faith and Love which is in his Son Christ Jesus through his Holy Spirit Amen BULLA Sanctissimi Domini nostri DOMINI PII Divina Providentia PAPAE Quarti Super formâ Juramenti Professionis Fidei PIUS Episcopus Servus Servorum Dei ad perpetuam Rei
