gouerne the church the King the Realmes nay Iesus himselfe If obiection be made that the most Reuerend Arch Bishop Cranmer the Right Reuerend Bishop Ridley Father Latimer and other learned and Holy Martyrs were burned into ashes for their constant profession of the doctrine and discipline of this reformed Church Answeare must be made that the Holy Mother Geneua hath better doctrine and discipline then Cranmer Ridley and Latimer ever knew The doctrine and displine of faithfull Geneua are all substance they are all gold Oh if that Religion were here administred euery presbyter shall be greater than a Monarch and euery Iustice of peace aboue the Presbyter And were not this an Excellent Reformation when the Children of the Church her Subordinate Members shal be made such Transcendent Princes A daring phantastique superstition The Honour of Iesus exalted farre aboue all Heauens must be nullified to make Schismaticall Puritans Kings Imperious Holines See a strange wonder here is Lucifer-like pride in deede The Deuills were cast out of Heauen Esay 14. 14. for their pride because they would not belieue in the Sonne of God the Confirming Mediator of Angells so the Schoolemen And shall sly Professors then be spared seeing they will not Bow at the name of Iesus which is a signe that they doe not belieue in the Redeeming Sauiour If a Lawie● shall industriously write against the law is it credible that He is a Religious Obseruer or a lawfull Professor of the law Where is the good Conscience the Necessary Subiect of the higher Powers mentioned at Rom. 13. 5 This stands at the Barre and alleageth Gods Heauenly law All knees shall bow at the name of Iesus and t is baffled with an Outery A Reformation A Reformation To bow at the name of Iesus is Superstition To bow at the name of Iesus is Superstition The good Conscience desireth a pacificall dispute but the violence of aspiring Spirites will not endure to feare the truth therefore I desire the Christian Reader to obserue the plea of a good conscience Thus The tie of Gods law and of the Kings lawes deriu'd from Gods is Obligatory to binde all good Subiects vnto Obedience First the text binds all Christians in faith to belieue and in manners to Bow at the name of Iesus which I haue proou'd at handling this Question Whether Bowing at the name of Iesus be a duty of the text To second the text our dread Souereigne Lord the King hath foure lawes to humble his Subiects in faith and manners to Bow at the name of Iesus The first is the 20th article of our Reformed faith which is the Authority of the Church to ordaine Rites and Ceremonies whereof Bowing at the name of Iesus is one though it be commanded by God originally yet in application to reforme Non-conformists t is the Churches Canon Then by the Doctrine of our Reformed faith T is plaine that we must bow at the name of Iesus Because our church-Church-Authority hath decreed this Bowing as you see according to scripture The second is the 34 Article which is the Traditions of the Church and bowing at the name of Iesus being vniversal is more necessary then those being particular and express'd thus Whosoeuer through his priuate Iudgment willingly and purposely doth openly breake the traditions of the Church c. ought to be rebuked openly that others may feare to doe the like as he that offendeth against the Common order of the Church and woundeth the Conscience of the weake Brethren Then t is plaine by the testimony of Orthodoxe faith that all must bow at the name of Iesus Sub paenâ publicae redargutionis vnder paine of open Rebuke The third law is the 6th Canon of our Church The words are these Whosoever shall here-after affirme that the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England by law Established are wicked Anti-Christian or superstitious or such as being Commanded by lawfull Authority men who are Zealously and godlily affected may not with any good conscience approue them vse them or as occasion requireth subscribe vnto them let him be excommunicated ipso sacto and not restored vntill he repents and publiquely revokes such his wicked errors Then by vertue of this Canon he that writes against Bowing at the name of Iesus should be taught better manners He should be deliuered to Satan by his Diocesan for to tame his fleshly and diuision-making faction in the Church to teach him and his priuate friends Canonicall obedience And t is very good reason so to doe for transgressing the 18th Canon which is the 4. law The words are these When in time of Diuine seruice the Lord Iesus shal be mentioned due and lowly Reverence shal be done by all persons present as it hath beene accustomed Testifying by these outward Ceremonies and Gestures their inward Humility Christian Resolution and due acknowledgment that the Lord Iesus Christ the True and Eternall sonne of God is the only Sauiour of the world in whom alone all the mercies Grac●s a●d promises of God to mankind for this life and the life to Come are fully and wholy Compris●d And then is not he very worthily excommunicated that scornes to Bow at the name of Iesus s●ing the fin●ll end thereof is to testify his Humble Cristianly R●solute a●d due acknowledgement of his faith that the Lord Iesus is the Sauing King of the Catholique Church And is this Christian Reader Idolatry to be cried down● To Bow at the name of Iesus is Idolatry To Bow at the name of Iesus is Idolatry Is this Religious Bowing to bee b●fled with an outery A Reformation A Reformation Vnreasonable Ani●als Wilfull Gainesaying Humonsts He that peremptorily and impenitently teacheth against this Rev●rend Honorable Bowing at the name of Iesus ●o●es not the Lord Iesus and St. Paul● would haue such an ob●●inate sinner rewarded according to his great stomack● Thus If any man Loue not the Lord Iesus let him be Anathema Maran●atha 1. Cor 16. 22. L●t him be accursed with a bitter curse with the Greater Excommunication I must not say that M. Prin●s heart doth not ●o●e the Lord Iesus only God is the s●archer out and the d●●ce●ning 〈◊〉 of the secret court of consc●enc● But t is very cert●ine t●●t M. ●rinns daring phansy hath most vnsuff●rably disho●o●red the exalted the most honoured and the most glori●●s na●● of Iesus His Appendix ●s wi●tnesse which is a contradictorious suppose Ignoratio Elenchi a ●a●e supposa●●● That bowing at the name of Iesus is nothing His suppositious prooffes to defend this Erroneous despightfull Hypothesis are two Thus bowing at the name of Iesus is neither a duty of the text nor an arbitrary harmelesse and decent Ceremonie If you will see Mr Prinne in full view of his colours you must obserue these foure questions First whether bowing at the name of Iesus be some thing Secondly whether bowing at the name of Iesus be a duty according to the letter of Phil. 2. 10 3ly whether bowing at
