Gospellers do teach that Matrimony is not a Sacrament but only an Office or Function of Nature ordained for the Conseruation or perpetuating of Mankind In respect of which Office or End it is nor repugnant but rather consonant and sutable to Polygamy For in this sense Matrimony is but a Ciuil Contract but euery Ciuill Contract by the ioint Consent of the Contractors may be dissolued and the same or a like Contract without any Iniustice to any may be made againe with others Secondly the Protestants generall doctrine of the Necessity of hauing the Vse of a Woman most strongly induceth the doctrine of Polygamy Now touching the Necessity of the Act of Copulation betwene man and Woman obserue I pray besides that aboue said of this point what your Parent from whose loynes all you Hugenors are proseminated speakes hereof Luther then your first Apostle thus 〈◊〉 ●●●heth Quàm (2) Luther tom 5 de Matrimon fol. ●19 non est in meis viribus vt Vir 〈◊〉 sim tam non est mei iuris vt absque muliere sim As it is not in my power not to be a Man so it is not in my power to liue without a Woman And againe in the same place Verbum hoc Crescite multiplicamini non est praeceptum sed plus quàm Praeceptum That Sentence Increase and multiply is not a Precept but more then a Precept being a diuine Worke which is not in our power to be hindered or omitted but is as necessary as that I am a Man more necessary then to eate to drinke to sleepe to walke c. And speaking in the same place to women Luther thus indoctrinateth them Vt in manu tua non est vt f●mina non sis sic nec in te es● vt absque viro degas As it is not in thy choice not to be a Woman so it is not in thy power that thou thouldest liue without a Man For the Counsell or Election is not heere free but it is Necessary For Marem feminae feminam mari sociari oportet Now then dreaming Luthers doctrine herein to be true doth it not vnauoidably inuolue in it selfe the doctrine of Polygamy if the parties maried through impotency or some casuall disease cannot performe the duty of Mariage or should for a long time be separated in place the one from the other since it is taught we see as true That A Man cannot liue without the vse of a Woman nor a Woman without the vse of a Man The third Ground of our Euangelists implying the doctr●ne of Polygamy is the Ordinary doctrine of Diuorce euen for any small occasion taught by them and most fully by Bucer who much enlargeth himselfe herein Sortably hereto Bucer alloweth the liberty of diuorce and marying againe in case of departure (3) Bucer in Script Anglic de regn● Christi l 2. c. 16. of the one party from the other In case of Homicide (4) Bucer ibidem cap. 37. or Theft Or of the Incurable Infirmity (5) Bucer ibidem c. 4● of the Woman by Childbirth Or if the Man proue Lunatike Or when either party is become vnable to render nuptiall duty In all which cases Bucer (6) Bucer ibidem cap. 124. concludeth lawfulnes of diuorce and Mariage againe maintayning the same to be Verbo (7) Bucer ibidem cap. 124. Dei consentiens agreable to the Word of God Now according to this doctrine of B●cer Luther thus adiudgeth The (8) Luther tom 5. Wittemberg Sermon de Matrimonio fol. 123. Magistrats duty if the myfe be froward and will refuse ●er Husbands bed is to curbe the wyfe yea to put her to death This if the Magistrate omit the Husband must imagine that his wyfe is stolne away by ●heau●● or dead and let him consider how to marry another Thus Luther And thus we obserue that from the former Principles and Theo●●●s of your owne Teachers to wit that Mariage is no Sacrament That it is not possible for a Man to liue without a Woman or a Woman without a man lastly that Diuorce vpon seuerall Cases and to marry againe is most lawfull the doctrine of Polygamy is warrantable and is to be put in practise From all which it is necessarily euicted that Luther and the Lutherans consent with Mahumet and the Turkes in maintenance or defence of Polygamy or hauing many Wiues at one and the same tyme. Who obserueth then not here that the spirit of our Gospellers of which they do so much glory like to those things which beget meere Contraries ingenders corporall and fleshly desires The 26. Symbolisme Touching the contempt of the Crosse CHAP. XXVI IN the Alcoran (1) Az●●r●● we thus read Iuda● Maria blasphemiam immoderatam c. The Iewes do offer great contumely to Mary when they say they put to death her sonne Christ Iesus for him they did not kill but another like to him Now vpon this ground Mahomet and the Turks did extremely hate the Crosse● no● enduring the signe thereof or suffering 〈◊〉 Crosse to stand in any place or Nation subiect to them Our Reformists though vpon another ground do no lesse hate the Cross●● then the Turks doe as the whole World knoweth and is aboue in part I haue shewed Thus Mahumet and our Reformists do conspire and agree in presecuting the Crosse with an intestime hatred though the Reason of this their Hatred be different to them both And thus the Crosse● is despised as being the remembrance of Christs Charity dying vpon it whose graue after the taking downe of his sacred Body from the Crosse became as it were that wombe from whence the lyfe of our Saluation did rise The 27. Symbolisme T●●●hing other seuerall points of Fayth CHAP. XXVII I Haue been long in giuing 〈◊〉 to the Concordences or Harmony tuned by Mahumet or Turks and the Protestants in touch of the strings therof we can find small iarring but rather a perfect agrement I meane I haue spent many leaues in laying open the particular Symbolismes between them Therfore for greater expedition I will make here a coacetu●tion or heaping together of diuers other Points of Religion equally defended taught and practized by the Turks and our new Euangelists 28. First then the flery Protestants do teach that Christ did not descend after his death vnto Limbus statrum 29. That we ought not to bowe at the Name of Iesue 30. That Christ did not leaue in the Sacrament his true and yeall Body to be receiued by faythfull Christians 31. That Seauen Sacraments were not instituted by Christ. 32. That not any Sacrament doth conferre Grace 33. That the Church of God it not free from Errour in fayth 34. That there is not any Vniuersality of Grace proceeding from Christs Passion 35. That we ought not to pray to Saincts 36. That Priests haue not true Power to remit sinnes 37. They in lyke manner teach that there are not any Euangelicall Councells 38. That the Church
