whence childrens badnesse doth grow but rather the water or compost tha cause it to spring and sprout more speedily Fasly maintain it and so the Papists who though they allow the deprivation of originall righteousness will not allow the depravation of our nature but hold that we differ from Adam no more then a naked man from him whose clothes are taken away and to make this more plausible Bellarmine creates in his brains that Adam was created with a reluctanty and rebellion of the inferiour powers of his soul against the superiour faculties thereof nay blusheth not to affirm that God could not make a man so pure and perfect but praeter Dei intentionem ex conditione materiae there would be such a rebellion in him Lord this same Bellarmine at other times without necessity and against reason could conceive how omnipotency props up accidents without a substance and makes the same body at the same time in severall places and now he cannot see how an infinite power is antidote strong enough to expell out of the matter any venemous quality whatsoever true it is that there was in Adam motion tendency and propensity of each faculty to its proper object but as for any obliquity and deordination in them it neither was nor could be as repugnant both to Gods goodnesse and mans perfection But thus they go about to make as I may say some corption in Adam in his state of integrity that they may make way for some integrity in the sonnes of Adam after their corruption but the best is that as the Pharisees Act. 23.9 though enemies to S. Pauls person yet friends to his tenets about the resurrection from the dead and valiantly vindicated both him and the truth from the Sadduces who traduced him for an Heretick so the Dominicans who are sound in this point that we are unsound by nature defend both us and the truth against the Iesuiticall faction that maintain the contrary on then with courage you learned Friers and may the school of Dominick be too hard for the sheild of Loyola whilst verity is on your side let victory be at your backs may you as far surpasse your enemies for piety and solid learning as they go beyond you and all honesty in policy and treacherous designes And thus whilst they fight one against another let us come to our selves and apply what hath been delivered first to those that are children to parents then to those that are parents to children Ye children to parents have heard how wee are by nature the children of wrath even as others which wrath-deserving condition is derived to you from Adam by your immediate parents they alas could not convey life but must pass death unto you also by the same grant yet this ought not to lessen your love abate your affection diminish your duty unto them Isay 45.10 woe unto him that sayes to his father what hast thou begotten or unto his mother what hast thou brought forth Rather imitate the example of David though he complained that in sinne had his mother conceived him yet he was a father to his father and a mother to his mother in her old age taking order with the king of Moab that they should be provided for 1 Sam. 22.3 grant our parents should turn Ostriches unto us and forsake us when we are young wee neverthelesse are to be Storks unto them and feed them when they are old having received from them under God the greatest benefit that can be our being Ye parents to children have heard that this wrath-deserving condition is derived by you unto your posterity How solemnly seriously and religiously then ought marriage to be undertaken and used how too too blame are they who adde to this naturall corruption other stains before God and man antedating their wives whores and heirs bastards a sinne in some places that is made so common that t is made no sinne have wee too little wickednesse of Peor whereof wee are not cleansed unto this day that before the old debt be satisfied ye runne on a new score and adde bastardy and illegitimation to the naturall infection of your children 2. Secondly yee see how though against your wills yee have propagated this wrath-deserving condition unto your children know then that you are bound both in honour and honesty civility and Christianity to pluck them out what lieth in your power of this pit wherein they are plunged and this ye may doe first by embracing the speediest opportunity to fasten the sacrament of baptisme upon them by baptisme the condemning power of originall sinne is drowned in the font the bane is removed the blot doth remain the guilt is remitted the blemish is retained the sting is gone the stain doth stay if not consented to it cannot damn us though it may defile us In baptisme the finall-peaceable-commanding power is washed away ever after it may be in us not over us it may rule as a tyrant not a king being ever resisted often subdued though never expelled Some prisoners have eaten off their irons with Mercury water but there is no way to fret of the fetters of originall corruption wherewith our feet are hurt in the stocks the irons have entaed into our souls but by the water in baptisme and therefore take heed how yee needlessely deferr it let marriage feasts be put of till the parties have got their wedding wardrobe let churching be deferred to attend the perfect health of the woman let funerall pomps be delayed they may be put of without danger which rather please the living then profit the dead these are moveable feasts whereof yee make your own Almanacks and set them to fall higher or lower sooner or later at your own pleasure but oh take heed how causelesly ye put of the baptizing of your children stand not on the shadow till ye loose the substance ne quod deferatur auferatur lest what ye delay God deny whilst you deferre the christening of your child God take away the child to be christened and then though I will not be the judge to condemn the child were I one of the Jury I should scarce accquit the father Secondly let them not want good prayers which if steept in tears will grow the better good precepts good precedents and shew thy child in thy self what he should follow in others what he should shun and avoid let them not want wholesome correction if occasion require blast not their souls with the honey-dew of cockering and indulgence fetch those little malefactors from the hornes of the Altar from the sanctuaries of their mouthes sides lipps and bosomes what saith Solomon folly is bound up in the heart of a child and the rod of correction shall drive it out not drive out the heart but the folly never was brave spirit spoiled with moderate correction But the mischeif is that as in the beginning of the year we make much of those weeds which bring the first newes of the approaching spring
