A10180	The Church of Englands old antithesis to new Arminianisme VVhere in 7. anti-Arminian orthodox tenents, are euidently proued; their 7. opposite Arminian (once popish and Pelagian) errors are manifestly disproued, to be the ancient, established, and vndoubted doctrine of the Church of England; by the concurrent testimony of the seuerall records and writers of our Church, from the beginning of her reformation, to this present.

All these recited testimonies of this my famous Mother Vniuersity who hath constantly bent her selfe against Arminius and his Followers together with the late conuinction of one Brookes a yong vngrounded Diuine before her Heads for broaching some Arminian Tenents in a Sermon at Saint Maries doe vndoubtedly proue our Anti-Arminian Assertions thus constantly defended professed and resolued by her chiefe Professors the vnquae●tionable and receiued Doctrines of our Church That which both our Vniuersities haue constantly embraced professed patronized since the reformation to this presēt must needs be the ancient receiued and vndoubted Doctrine of our Church But both our Vniuersities haue euer from the beginning of Reformation to this present euen constantly embraced professed and protected our Anti-Arminian positions but oppugned their Arminian opposites this the present with the praecedent and subsequent euidences will infallibly demonstrate Therefore they must needs be the ancient receiued and vndoubted doctrine of our Church My 3. Euidence is the expresse confession of three reuerend Diuines of speciall note and credit in our Church The first of them is famous Doctor Whitakers who informeth vs in his last Sermon That the Church of England euer since the Ghospell was restored to 〈◊〉 hath alwayes held and embraced this opinion of Election and Reprobation which he there and we here maintaines This Bucer saith he in our Vniuersity this Peter Martyr at Oxford haue professed two eminent Diuines who haue most abundantly watered our Church with their streames in the dayes of King Edward whose memories shall be alwayes honourable among vs vnlesse we will be most vngratefull This opinion their Auditors in both our Vniuersities the Byshops Deanes and other Diuines who vpon the aduancement of our famous Queene Elizabeth to the Crowne returned either from exile or were released from the prisons into which they had beene thrust for the profession of the Ghospell or saued from the hands of persecuting Bishops those by whom our Church was reformed our Religion established Popery thrust out and quite destroyed all which we may remember though few of this kinde be yet liuing This opinion I say they themselues haue held and commended vnto vs in this faith haue they liued in this they dyed in this they alwayes wished that wee should constantly continue And shall wee then renounce this Opinion or quaestion whether it be the Doctrine of our Church or no Lastly I appeale saith he to our confession in which I am perswaded the same Doctrine which I haue this day handled is not obscurely deliuered not only because all our Articles were composed by the Disciples of Bucer and Martyr but euen out of the very words and meaning of the Confession and so he proceeds to proue his Doctrine to be warranted by our 17. Article by 5. seuerall Arguments The second Witnesse is Reuerend Bishop Carlton in his Examination of Master Mountagues Appeale cap. 2. where he writes thus The Church of England was reformed by the helpe of our learned and Reuerend Bishops in the dayes of King Edward the sixt and in the beginning of the Raigne of Queene Elizabeth They who then gaue that forme of reformation to our Church held consent in Doctrine with Peter Martyr and Martin Bucer being by authority appointed Readers in the two Vniuersities and with other then liuing whom they Iudged to be of best learning and soundnesse in the reformed Churches and of the Ancients especially with St. Augustine and were carefull to hold this Vnity amongst themselues and with the reformed Churches For that these worthy Bishops who were in the first reformation had this respect vnto P. Martyr and M. Bucer it is apparent both because the Doctrine of our Church doth not differ from the Doctrine that these taught and because that worthy Arch-Bishop Cranmer caused our Leiturgy to be Translated into Latine and craued the consent and iudgement of M. Bucer who gaue a full consent thereto as it appeareth in his workes Inter opera Anglicana And P. Martyr being likewise requested writeth in his Epistles touching that matter his iudgement and consent of the gouerment and discipline of our Church This vniformity of Doctrine was held in our Church without disturbance as long as those worthy Bishops liued who were employed in the reformation For albeit the Puritanes disquieted out Church about their conceiued Discipline yet they neuer mooued any quarrell against the Doctrine of our Church which is well to be obserued For if they had embraced any Doctrine which the Church of England denied they would assuredly haue quarrelled about that aswell as they did about the Discipline But it was then the open confession both of the Bishops and of the Puritanes that both parts embraced a mutuall consent in Doctrine onely the difference was in matter of inconformity Then hitherto there was no Puritane Doctrine knowne The first disturbers of this vniformity in Doctrine were Barret and Baroe in Cambridge and after them Thompson ●arret and Baroe began this breach in the time of that most Reuerend Prelate Arch-Bishop Whitgift Notwithstanding that these had attempted to disturbe the Doctrine of our Church yet was the vniformity of Doctrine still maintained For when our Church was disquieted by Barret and Baro the Bishops that then were in our Church examined the new Doctrine of these men and vtterly disliked and reiected it And in the point of Predestination confirmed that which they vnderstood to bee the Doctrine of the Church of England against Barret and Baro who oppugned that Doctrine This was fully declared by both the Arch-Bishops Whitgift of Canterbury and Hutton of Yorke with the other Bishops and learned men of both Prouinces who repressed Barret and Baro refuted their Doctrine and iustified the contrary as appeareth by that Booke which both the Arch-Bishops then compiled The same Doctrine which the Bishops then maintained was at diuers times after approued as in the Conference at Hampton Court as will be hereafter confirmed And againe it was confirmed in Ireland in the Articles of Religion in the time of our late Soueraigne Articulo 38. The Author of the

will either euade or else withdraw and retract his euidence when he comes to triall as he is a principal in the present controuersie so no competent Iudge or Witnesse so he hath beene 4. seuerall times impeached by the high Court of Parliament for giuing false testimony in the points in Issue besides his testimony is wauering dubious and repugnant to it selfe and it hath beene counterpleaded by diuers of our Church and generally disclaimed by most as false and spurious Therefore it doth but weaken yea betray their cause and strengthen oures The last of these being transported beyond himselfe with metaphisicall Contemplations to his owne infamy and his renowned Mothers shame I meane the famous Vniuersity of Oxford who grieues for his defection from whose duggs he neuer suckt his poysonous Doctrines as his euidence is intricate and obscure beyond the reach or discouery of ordinary capacities so it hath beene blanched and blasted by a Parliament examination excepted against by the Conuocation house answered by some disanowed by most of our Diuines his single testimony therefore especially in his owne particular case where he cannot be both a party and a witnesse too makes nothing for their title to our Church These are the only euidences and Authors to my knowledge that our Arminian Tenents can produce to interest them in our Church and these all circumstances being well confidered make flat against them since our Chuch hath vtterly disauowed and distasted them reiecting yea condemning these their writings as diametrally opposite to her established Doctrines If any Arminian can produce any other English Writers whom our Church approues to patronize these errors I shall be willing to be informed of them for my owne part I neuer met with any but with these I confesse that some would wrest Bishop Hooper to the contrary in the point of Reprobation and vniuersall redemption but in truth he is for vs not against vs in these very points if rightly apprehended howeuer he is euidently for vs in the rest But admit he were not yet he is but one his singular opinion therefore will not preiudice vs since we haue an whole Century of better more punctuall witnesses for to backe vs. Thirdly our Church hath beene so farre from reputing these her established and receiued Doctrines that she hath conuented censured such as oppugners of her Doctrine and disturbers of her peace who haue hitherto published or patronized them in their Bookes or Sermons witnesse the solemne Conuiction and Recantation of Barret Baro and others in the yeere 1595. they being the first that broached them in our Church witnesse the Recantation of Master Sympson in Cambridge in King Iames his latter time and the late conuention of one Brookes in Oxford for broaching these Arminian Tenents witnesse the proceedings in Parliament against Master Mountagues and Iacksons Arminian Bookes which are generally distasted throughout the Kingdome and can any then be so shamelesly audacious as now for to auerre them to be the vndoubted established or receiued Doctrines of our Church Fourthly the whole Armie streame and torrent of the fore-recited learned Authors of our Church both of ancient moderne and present times haue alwayes constantly professedly oppugned them as directly opposit to the established receiued Doctrines of the Church of England as stigmatical damnable old-condēned Errors first hatched by Pelagius thē nursed by his Followers fomented by Demi-Pelagians reuiued propagated by Popish Schoolemen and since that abetted by Pseudo-Lutherans Socinians Anabaptists and Arminians sects branded and condemned in our Church and can we then bee so stupendiously so damnably absurd as to affirme or iudge them the vndoubted the embraced Doctrines of our Church Certainely that which hath no Records no Euidences no authorized Writers of our Church to patronize it all of them to oppugne it that which our Martyrs neuer sealed but cancelled with their blood our first reformers neuer planted but displanted in our Church our Diuinity Professors neuer iustified but condemned in our Vniuersity Schooles that which all our Authors neuer patronized but constantly refelled as a branded Error in their writings that which both our Church and Vniuersities haue neuer constantly affirmed but solemnly enioyned men to recant as expresly contrary to the professed and resolued Doctrine of our Church cannot be the Doctrine of the Church of England But this is the case of all the fore-mentioned Arminian Errors witnesse all the praemises Therefore they cannot bee the professed and resolued Doctrine of the Church of England let Arminians vainely boast and babble to the contrary what they will Lastly that which sundry ancient Councels Fathers and moderne Synods haue positiuely censured and condemned as a pestilent dangerous and grace-destroying Error and not so much as one ancient Orthodox Councell Father or moderne Synod euer ratified as the ancient Catholicke and vndoubted truth can neuer be reputed the professed established and vndoubted Doctrine of the Church of England But sundry ancient Orthodox Councels Fathers and moderne Synods haue positiuely censured and condemned these very Arminian Tenents as a pestilent dangerous and grace-destroying Error and not so much as one ancient Councel Orthodox Father or moderne Synod euer ratified them as the ancient Catholicke vndoubted truth Therefore they can neuer be reputed the professed established and vndoubted Doctrine of the Church of England The affirmatiue part of my Assumption the Councels Fathers and Synods quoted in the margent with sundry others which I haue at large recited in my Perpetuity of a Regenerate mans estate page 213. to 270. to which I shall referre you doe fully warrant For the negatiue part let our Arminians disproue it if they can since I must needs affirme that I know not so much as one ancient Councell or moderne Synod no nor yet one orthodox Father of the Primatiue Church vnlesse Faustus an absolute Semi-Pelagian though in shew a professed Anti-Pelagian may be reputed orthodox when as both Protestants and Papists haue hitherto branded him as vnsound and Haeterodox in his Tenents that did euer yet maintaine or iustify these Semi-Pelagian or Arminian Errors If then they were neuer the receiued or approued Doctrines but the branded Haeresies of the Primitiue Church if they were neuer yet confirmed and setled in any Christian Church by any one nationall or generall Councell whether ancient or moderne though they haue beene censured and condemned by diuers they cannot be the established the vndoubted Doctrines of the Church of England You haue he●re good Christian Readers both heard and seene the seuerall Euidences and Witnesses which Anti-Arminianisme and Arminianisme can produce to intitle themselues vnto the Church of England to which they both of late l●y claime You haue seene the Articles of England
