men liue hee would not suffer that Christ Iesus was the Lambe of God that taketh away the sinnes of the world that Christ was the sole and soule sauing sacrifice once offered vpon the crosse neuer to bee renued not needing helpe but of it selfe sufficient for our saluation hee could not endure and so made the worde bitter whereby many soules were lost The seuenth Angell blew a Trumpet and the thirde part of the moone and of the starres were smitten so that the third part of them was darkened and those were the Arians their great champions who by boasting of their workes and merits obscure Christs iustice and mercie and tread his death and passion vnder feete they darken the third part of the church and ministers and teachers with their false doctrine It is not vnknowne how they did monstrously grow to the trouble of all Europe and the confusion of that citie Transiluania You see these Papists receiue not Christ as he commeth vnto men in the flesh they spare neither king nor subiect prince nor people that standes in their way but downe with them downe with them as the Babilonians did euē to the ground they receiue him not as he commeth into men in the spirit You heare how they oppose themselues wholy agaynst the doctrine of Christ in the Gospel they scorne the vertue of his mercie merits and mediation The obstinate Papist and malicious receiue not Christ they receiue him not The prophane Atheist who hath said in his heart with the foole There is no God Like Nebuchadnezzar walking vpon the battlements of his high Pallace breatheth forth Is not this great Babell which I haue built for the house of my kingdome by the might of my power for the honour of my Maiestie so they walking vpon the Torrace of nature vpō the battlements of their wittes breath forth blasphemie against God and infamie to men is not that which we do done by the power of nature haue not we wit and will reason and skill to vnderstand and execute those things that concerne our glory and thus they make their arme of flesh and take no notice of the power of God But when his name is spoken of like the Adder they clap one eare to the ground and stoppe the other with their taile They learne to weaue Spiders webs and hatch Cockatrices egges they learne of the toad to swel aboue their proportion of the wolfe to barke against the moone of the wilde Asse to bray against the thunder of the Owle to eschew the light of the sunne of the Vipers to goare and gnaw the breast and bowels of their dearest parents as Epiphanius sayth Latus matris sauciunt sic gignuntur vt pater mater eorum periunt Saint Ierome speakes of them as of the serpent Hydaspis whose poyson is so venemous that whosoeuer they touch or sting they consume in bodie or languish in mind Saint Basili speakes of them as of those worms Hemorhoides which cause althose they touch to bleed in all parts of their bodies vntill they die and be distracted in their spirits while they liue Examples where of are too fresh in our memorie and the bleeding wounds of some are scarce yet drie and therefore I forbeare the application It is well if we● be free from their imputation and immitation that are so farre from receyuing Christ that they say in their heart there is no God and charme the charmer neuer so sweetly they will not receiue him The prophane Athiest receyues not Christ they receyue him not The Schismatike which say with Corah Dathan and Abiram Come let vs breake their bonds and cast away their coards from vs are not our tongues our owne and what Lord shall controll vs These appeare in the visions of Iohn The second Angell blew the trumpet and a it was a great mountaine was cast into the sea the third part of the sea became blood and the third part of the creatures that were in the sea and they that had life died for by the water is vnderstood the word of God and by the mountaine is meant diuerse sects and schismes whereof Montanus was one with Prisca and Salisba two women which had led a great man Tertullian so farre that he confessed he had Priscam a Prophetesse but she proued such a Prophetesse to him as Iuno did to Hercules The storie is of Iuno that she being much displeased with Hercules and resolued to do him mischief vsed many meanes to vexe him but could not preuaile till she had set Hercules against Hercules till shee had made Hercules mad she could do him no hurt but when she had diuided him from himselfe had made him mad then she might do what she would with him when he did rage and raue in himselfe and against himself such are our Schismatiks as Iuno against Hercules offended with the state of our church and not knowing how to haue their will in her and of her to obtaine her goods not maintain her good to enioy her wealth not preserue her weale they set Hercules against Hercules they diuide the vnseamed coat of Christ Iesus and fill the church with sects and schismes outrages and madnesse and so disturbe the peace thereof that while Simeon and Leui offend good old father Iacob cannot be at quiet and while the fathers eate sower Grapes the childrens teeth are set on edge They haue no hoe nor hold of their affections but condemne and contemne gouernors and gouernment mutter and murmure against the manners of gouernors and manner of gouernment content with nothing but their owne peeuish courses when they see all courses haue beene taken that are ordinarie and lawfull for perfection The idle and Idoll sheepeheards haue beene seuerely dealt withall the drowsie and sluggish haue beene mildly handled the blind and ignorant haue had spittle and salt and clay put vpon their eyes nay their eyes haue beene rubd with the gall of fishes as Tobias his was And what would they haue more I know not what they would haue vnlesse it bee the calfe with the white face Yes marie they would haue Bishops to be no Lords Archbishops not to be at all for these lettes doe much trouble their consciences is it for conscience sake that they find these faults then surely it is with knowledge for Cons●ientia est quasi scientia vel conscientia est cordis scientia but certainly it is not for conscience but for cōtention sake can we thinke they are so barren in their vnderstanding that they doe not know that Bishops are called Lords because they are Barons and not because they are Bishops and for the addition of Arche is there such great preheminence in that sillable I pray you what dignitie hath Arthetreclinus hee that bringeth in the first dish to the table aboue those that sit at the table Alas who seeth not that this is to tyth Mints and Annes-seede and Commin togither and to neglect the greater things
