of the sense of evils of which so long they will have a sense as they are willing to obey All conspiring unanimously so to advance the pure Religion of our dearest Saviour that it be not dispirited on one hand by gaudy ceremonious Formalists nor lost on the other amids a Crowd of sullen and ignorant Sectaries and after that to which it is an honour for him to submit the divine soveraignty and royall Immunities of our most Gratious Master §. IX WE must go higher yet and if we will may beleeve the Remonstrant to be a notorious enemy to truth pag. 2. a false Prophet pag. 3. a belly-god proud and covetous pag. 5 squeezed to a wretched cold and hollow-hearted confession of some Prelaticall ryots pag. 15. whose understanding nothing will cure but Kitchin-physick pag. 17. a Laodicean pag. 24. a dissembling Joab pag. 28. a dawber with untempered morter pag 62. Good God! thou that hast promised to direct the steps of the humble and to be with those that are of a meek heart instruct me how to chuse some other path to walk in towards my Eternity for this my soul hates Let me for ever be shut out of that heaven that is the reward of such black calumny such malitious and divellish slanders And O you my dear brethren who are disaffected towards the Prelate look upon and give evidence to the man How is he an enemy to the truth unlesse the Gospel of Christ be a lye How is he a false Prophet unlesse your selves who professe the same faith be impostors View well that heap of age and reverence and say whether that clear and healthfull constitution those fresh cheeks and quick eyes that round tongue agile hand nimble invention s●ay'd delivery quiet calm and happy bosome be the effects of threescore yeers surfeits and * gluttony What time could he steal to bestow upon Mammon the God of this world who hath given us so large an account of his idlest a minutes whose whole life hath been nothing but a laborious search after humane and divine truths which having pickt out as that little miracle of nature doth honey from weeds and flowers he did not improper to himself but liberally dealt them to the b good of the publike his toyl being impleasanted to himself in that he loved the work he went about and accepted of the world because they knew he dished out nothing to them but what he tasted of himself penned nothing but what first he practised How could he be lazie and idle whose volumes are so many whose preaching so frequent whose studies so early and late so that it is onely questionable whether his lips did drink in more grace than they distilled I commend not but vindicate Must he be therefore luke-warm because his zeal burns not as hot as hell must his conscience be therefore cauterized and seared because he brands not every Christian out of the Church of England with the marks of reprobation writes not the dreadful doom of God in the forehead of all Popishly given in France Spain Italy Germany Sends not all Russian Abassine Grecian Armenian Ethiopick Churches which all the day have flown different wayes and laboriously cull'd with the Bee such sweets as they could light upon in the evening swarming to hell or presently sets not fire on their hives Alas how long hath this been the doctrine of the Church of England and I cannot yet beleeve it Shall I ever think with that foolish Anchorite that the Sun shines no where but into my Cell Or can I not enough enjoy and blesse God for the warmth of his great light unlesse I confidently affirm that at no time in no measure it shines beyond our Tropick Let who will confine the mercies of God in Christ to so narrow limits I dare not Brethren hath he forsaken the faith that is so far an enemy to the Pope as the Pope is an enemy to Christ Is it come to this now that he must be bid part from the rest of his brethren that holds not Episcopacie to be Antichristian All forms of Prayers and Liturgies to be quenching of the Spirit evill quatenus ipsum An equality of Ministers living upon niggard contributions demolishing of Churches and all kind of Sacriledge lawfull That calls not the royall noble and devout munificence of our Ancestors who received cherished and transmitted our Religion to us the price of their damnation Doth that good Spirit of God dwell no where but in dry or marishy constitutions Will Grace mixe with nothing but adust choler or lowring morose peevishnesse Cannot Grace and Nature consist When we deny our selves must we deny humanity Doth Gods Spirit now inspire Christians as the Devill did his Priests of old by putting them out of their wits Is conversion nothing but a turning about to this mans opinion or that mans novelties a slavish imitation of some forraigne Church abroad or doting upon some great Masters at home Why else cannot a sober modest humble orthodox Prelate go for a Christian among us Why are we weary of him if we be not so of our Religion him who had been as holy wise learned temperate bountifull sincere a Protestant as any this day in our Church had he but been of your opinion in matters of discipline How almost a Saint how altogether a Devill No preaching no care of the peace of the Church no learned Volumes writ no hospitality no poor fed no holinesse of life no Church no salvation but in the Presbytery Worthy you of your chains and fagots O ye Martyrs that commended this government unto us perish and rot the memories of those famous Assemblies that confirmed it and bound us to the maintenance of superstition and Antichristianisme And now that I finde them so ungratefull to the dead it lessens my wonder though not their impiety that they are so to the living Away with those cheap as numerous leaves that image forth to us his ravished and devout thoughts away with the clear and bright mirrour of a dispassioned soul a rectified understanding a liberall and Christian charity with that sweet and heavenly * eloquence that prepares a way for the Spirit of God that opens our eares the gates of our soules that the King of glory may enter in and dwell there that awakens our understandings to arise and be ready to entertain that {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the engrafted Word which is able to save our souls yea and away with it from the earth lest it upbraid to future ages the tyrannous malice and affected barbarisms of these present times Blind men that will not see our own good that shut our eyes and then complain that we want the Sunne If you will not look upon his works which testifie of him ask his great Master or his noble retinue at Court whether this confession of the riots and disorders of Courts Officers Palaces City Countrey were now squeezed from him Whether it
