in the legall dispensation when he was a little child and bound about with a linnen Ephod and so not have been admitted to minister to the Lord or in his behalf in that ministration because a child or not 23. years of age might he not either by such a Law have been bound from the work of the ministry though the Lord had called him to it and by his word both established and fitted him for it according to the Scripture 1. Sam. 2.18.19.1 Sam. 31.19 20 21. or else by that Law have suffered and been by men condemned or not approved because not called to the ministry according to their Law if so was not such a Law viz. 13. of Eliz. 12. as the parish-priests preachers and Ministers were called ordained and tolerated by or according unto their ministry a Law directly contrary to the Scriptures and in opposition to God and his word or way of calling to the ministry as aforesaid yea or nay Query XVI And might not Christ Jesus himself by such a Law have been bound and not admitted to have done his Fathers will at twelve years of age when at such an age he waxed strong in spirit being filled with wisdome and the grace of God was upon him so that he was fit to dispute and did at twelve years of age doe his Fathers business as may be read Luke 2.40 41 42. to the 50. But if it had been of late years when the Common prayer book and that way of calling to the work of the Ministry according to the Statute of the 13. of Eliz. 12. were in force if not yet might not Christ himself if he had then been personally present in England have by that Law been disallowed of and not admitted to the work of the Lord at twelve years of age nor afterward no more then by the Jews and chief priests he was who questioned his authority and said have any of the rulers or Pharisees beleeved on him if so was not that Law directly opposite to the Scriptures and contrary to the way of God as aforesaid and if he had pleaded his inward spirituall call and said his Father had sent him would not the rulers and chief priests in England have opposed and said â—n inward call without an outward according to the Law of man before mentioned would not have been sufficient yea or nay Query VII And if none might have been admitted to Minister in the behalf of the Lord but such as subscribed to the Articles agreed of in the Convocation holden at London in the year 1562. and also such as did assent to the same and read their subscription to the said Articles with a Declaration of their unfeigned assent thereunto in the parish Church where they were to serve in the time of Common prayer at or soon after their Induction being 23. years of age and before their admission brought the Bishop of the Diocess from men known to him a testimoniall of their professing the doctrine expressed in the said Articles that they might receive a testimoniall under his Seal authentick and be tolerated c according to the 13. of Eliz. 12. which was the Parish-Priests way of ordination and toleration it seems till of late that there was no Bishops to give them orders or a testimoniall under their seal authentick c. might not by the same rule or Law all the Ministers of God as true Prophets and Apostles that was sent by the Lord God and his Spirit according to the Scriptures have been disallowed of and neither admitted nor tolerated because they had not the Common prayer book nor the Articles that was but agreed of in the Convocation holden at London as they were agreed of in the time of apostacy therefore they could not subscribe to them nor read any Declaration of their unfeigned assent thereunto in the Parish Church because they had no such Parish Church nor Popish stuffe among the true Gospel-Ministers before the apostacy spoken of in the Scriptures and if the Lord should have sent any by his Spirit according to the order of the true Prophets and Apostles might they not have been disallowed of and not admitted into the work of the Ministry in England c. if they could not submit to that Popish stuffe and inventions of the false Christs and false Prophets or errour of the parish priestâ—â— c. that came in since the apostacy and must not such as the Lord sends now and hereafter by his Spirit and according to his word be disallowed and denyed by the parish-priests c. if they can not submit to their other inventions or former Popish traditions yea or nay Query XVIII Was it not declared in the Statute of the 13. of Eliz 12. that none should be admitted to administer the Sacraments when the Common prayer book and that Service was in force untill he were 24. years of age and was not the Sacraments and Sacramentalls formerly whilst the Mass book was in force commonly called the Mass see the Statute of the 2. 3. of Ed. 6. Chap. 1. And if the Sacraments and Sacramentals were called the Mass whilst the Mass-book was in force was they not the same in the time of the Common prayer book and are they not the same that they were seeing the Scripture speaks nothing of either Sacraments or Mass yea or nay Query XIX Did not the Pope after the apostacy when he caused Tithes Oblations Obventions c. to be paid to the Parish-Priests Parsons and Rectors c. cause the same to be paid to them and such like onely as were of the Popish order and preached up his interest and observed the Mass book and that service and worship onely which was then set up and by him allowed of yea or nay Query XX. If so then whether ought not those Tithes Oblations Obventions c. to have ceased and returned back to the people againe when he and that worship and service was denyed for which they were payed or is the worship and service in the ground of Superstition and Popery made void where and by whom Tithes Oblations Obventions c. are received which the Pope at first since the apostacy created or caused to be paid yea or nay Query XXI Did King Henry the 8. when he denyed the Pope to be head of the Church of England called the holy Church then deny the Tithes and make them void which the Pope had created or caused before to be paid and did he put down Tithes to cause them to returne to the people againe whose right they were before the Pope caused the people to pay to them to his Priests Parsons and Rectors c. or did not King Henry and his Parliament when the Pope was denyed to be head of the Church confer and state the Popes former Creation or gift as Tithes Oblations Obventions c. upon the Prelates or the Kings Parish-Priests Parsons and Rectors c. and were they not then to observe to
preach up the Kings interest for the same or bound to performe and observe that Religion Worship or Service which was set up and allowed of by him and his successors to wit Kings and Queens and had not the said King and his successors as Kings and Queens of England the Popes part conferred or stated on them viz. the tenth part of the tenths and as the Pope before had whilst he was head of the Church and was not the parish-priests Parsons and Rectors c. content to be the Kings priests for the Popes Livery or reward as Tithes Oblations Obventions c. and were they not taken by the King from the Pope his Priests Parsons and Rectors c. and after conferred on them to wit the Kings Prelates parish-priefts Parsons and Rectors c. and hath not both the King and his Prelates and both Popery and Prelacy been much denyed whether ought not Tithes which came from the Pope to the King and his Prelates parish-priests Parsons and Rectors to have been denyed and made void and to have returned to the people againe yea or nay Query XXII Or how can the people truly say that they are redeemed from that superstition which came in by the Pope and Popish traine as in reference to the Ministry was Tithes that the Pope caused to be paid ever made void in the ground but rather conferred upon the parish-priests Parsons and Rectors c. and have those Tithes Oblations Obventions c. that the Pope first created or caused to be paid which afterward was removed from the popish Priests Parsons and Rectors c. and conferred it seems upon the Kings Prelates and upon the parish-priests Parsons and Rectors Curates and Clerks c. if so I say were they ever since there was no King in England yet made void to returne to the people againe who deny both the Pope and that popish traine or have not the parish-Ministers and publick preachers in that ministration begged the Tithes and have they not laboured to get them conferred and stated on them since there was no King in England nor Priest or parish-ministers of his least Tithes should from them have been void and have returned to the people again or to some other charitable use and so into their right place which was removed from their place by the Pope to the popish priests and after that removed from them it seems unto the Kings priests c. and since then if Tithes had been thrown down and the Popes gift or creation c. made void that the Priests or parish-ministers might have been left to the Seal of their ministry or have had some new gift given freely by the people onely that ownes them for their ministers in their mimistry would it not have been more agreeable to the Scripture and might they not the better in truth and honesty have cryed down Popery and been the more enabled to convince the gain-sayer but as yet are they not on the popish ground and is not that foundation and rubbâ—sh unremoved from amongst the parish-ministers or publick Preachers that gape for and yet receive Tithes which the Pope first caused to be paid and was never yet taken away or clearly removed to returne to the people againe and were they not their proper right of inheritance after the coming of Christ to put an end to the old Covenant and priest-hood and to establish another upon better promises and without payment of Tithes before the Popes time and when that is denyed and removed in ground root and branches which come in by the Pope and his traine in the time of Apostacy will not Tithes then be the peoples proper right of inheritance againe yea or nay Query XXIII All you Parish-priests Parsons and Rectors publick preachers or Clerks c. who say you have Tithes wages or hire c. And yet presumes to say you bless God you preach not for Tithes Wages Augmentations Stipends or hire c. I aske the question whether you receive the said Tithes c. upon consideration or no consideration if upon no consideration why may not any other man receive them as well as you And if you receive Tithes Augmentations Stipends or hire c. upon consideration Is not preaching c. The consideration upon which you receive them If so what difference is there between preaching for Tithes Stipends Augmentations Wages or hire c. And receiving them upon the said consideration of preaching do you think such an excuse sufficient to hide you under from understanding men or to justifie you in the fight of God as to say you have Tithes Stipends augmentations Wages or hire c. But you bless God you say you preach not for them And if you receive them upon the consideration of preachig as aforesaid whether do you not plainly make it appear that you both preach for them and take upon you to lie in the name of the Lord in your former saying about them yea or nay Query XXIV And all you parish-priests Parsons and Rectors Curates and Clerks c. That was called ordained and instituted in the time of the late Bishops when you used the Common prayer and sign of the Cross c. Did you not conclude that little children were conceived in sin and borne in iniquity and also said except they were regenerate and borne againe they could not inherit the kingdome of God and as the onely way and means of Regeneration and to fit them for the kingdome of God as you pretended c. Did you not say a little Common prayer over the Infant and also sprinkle a little water out of a Fount on the Childs face and sign it with the sign of the Cross and the like Popish stuffe and then conclude and make people believe that such a Child was Regenerate and made an inheritour of the kingdome of God c. And did you not account that to be the onely way to the new-Birth after you had read a little Common prayer over the Infant and signed it with the sign of the Cross as aforesaid then saying Dearly beloved seeing this Child is Regenerate or borne againe let us give thanks as if the Common prayer and the sign of the Cross were the onely way to the new-birth and none else and if so that is now made void by act of Parliament Then what way have you devised and imagined since then about the same or is your devised and imagined way about it of any more force or in any wise effectuall to salvation any more than your fore-fathers devices viz. the Pope and Arch-Bishops were And if the former was false and not true then was not all they who were Baptized with the Common prayer and the sign of the Cross by the parish-priests c. falsly Baptized and was not all that Baptism false if so then when was there any Regenerate and born againe in and by that popish stuffe and moreover when was there any truly Baptized in
say that generation then present should not pass till they came or those things before the passing way of that generaâ—â—onâ— should be done and is this the generation of men that generation which were personally present then though the evill Spirit of error doe rule in a great number of the persons who are of the seed of evill doers in this sinfull and sin contending for generation yet there hath been many generations since Christ said false Christs and false Prophets should come And that that generation then present whilst Christ were personally with them should not pass till those things should be done how is it then that Priests and Pofessors are so ignorant of the Scriptures to try they are but come now and that these are the last times of which Christ said they should come Observe Christ said to his Disciples while personally present with them false Christs and false Prophets should come and deceive many Mat. 24. Mar. 13. as aforesaid and he also said that generation should not pass till those things should be done this Christ said to his Disciples and friends whilst personally present with them and said beware of them for many shal be deceived by them and you shall be delivered up to be afflicted and ye shall be killed and hated of all nations for my names sake and as Christ said they should come Iohn in his time or in that generation before it was passed said they were come and moreover he said that was the last time in which it was said they should come for saith the Apostle Iohn in the 1. Epistle 2. Chapter 18 19. ver Little children it is the last time and as you have heard that Anti-Christ should come even now are there many false Christs or Anti-Christs whereby we know that it is the last time here they were come yet priests and professors are so ignorant of the Scripture that they cry out now they are come and they are come but now when they came before the decease of the Apostle Iohn many hundred years since yea saith he they went out from us but they were not of us for if they had been of us no doubt but they would have continued with us but they went out that they might be made manifest they were not all of us ver 19. And as Christ had foretold his Disciples of the coming of those false Christs anâ— how they would deceive many saith he goe not forth or oâ—â—t after them but rather abide within so when they weâ—â—â—… me Iohn said and declared then that they were not come in his time and he writ to the faithfull to keep to the anointing within 1 Ioh. 2.20 27. And here Johns Epistle agreed with Christs Doctrine and moreover as Iohn had told that the false Christs or Anti-Christs were come and exhorted the faithfull to keep to the anointing within he also said that the false Prophets were come and were already gone out into the world beloved said he to them that kept to the anointing within them 1 Ioh. 2.27 and kept the commandements of Christ and knew that he abode in them and that they abode in him because he had given them of his Spirit 1 Ioh. 2.23 24. yea and such as had overcome the Devil the wicked one and had the word of God abiding in them ver 13.14 who were of God and not of the world 1 Ioh. 5.19 who being of God knew the Son of God to be come and said he had given them an understanding to know him that is true and then they were in him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ 1 Ioh. 5.20 they did not deny Christ to be within who were in him and he in them neither were they of the world but of God and such Iohn writ unto to try the Spirits he did not write unto the world nor hireling Priests to try the Spirits take notice of that but he writ to them that were not of the world but of God and were in Christ and owned and professed Christ to be in them as aforesaid to such he writ to try the Spirits saying beloved beleeve not every Spirit but try the Spirits whether they be of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the world 1 Joh. 4.1 marke many false Prophets saith he are gone out into the world then they were come long before this time and since then they have had a long reign and now is God discovering them and bringing people off from them Christ said they should come viz. false Prophets and false Christs and John saw they were come and went out from them and was not that which inwardly ravened from the Spirit of God into the Apostacy the ground which the false Prophets rose out of and did not they that turned from the truth and abode not in it joyn together with the Beast to make war with the Saints and did not such turne against the Saints as ran a whoring from that of God and did not they make war with the Saints and overcome them and did not the false Prophets deceive and seduce Nations and Kindreds Languages and multitudes and set up the Image or worship of the Beast and did not all that dwelt upon the earth goe out after them and worship the Beast and his Image but the elect whose names are written in the Lambes book of life slaine from the foundation of the world and must not they that worship the Beast and his Image be plagued and tormented as may be read Rev. 13. and Rev. 14. Christ said false Prophets should come and deceive many yea if it were possible the very elect Mat. 24 John saw they were come and gone out into the world 1 John 2.18 19. and in the Rev. John speaks of the Beast and false Prophet joyning together and how they had prevailed but the Beast and the false Prophet are to be cast together into the lake of fire and brimstone and must be tormented day and night for ever and ever Rev. 20.10 here he hath declared their punishment to be everlasting John saw that all the world wondered after the Beast Rev. 13.3 and they worshipped the Beast saying who is like unto the Beast who is able to make war with him ver 4. when he had made war with the Saints and had overcome them was not power given him over all Kindreds and Tongues and Nations ver 7. and did not the Beast so prevaile when he had made war with the Saints and overcome them that he set up in the time of Apostacy when he had dominion in England in and through the Pope Schools Colledges called Vniversities to fit and make ministers for himself and was not all constrained to worship that which vvas set up in the Apostacy but such as had their names written in the Lambs Book of life who could not worship the Beast and hiâ— Image but rather choosed to suffer and he caused â—all both small and great rich and poor
c. to receive a marke in their right hand and in their foreheads Rev. 13.16 and was not Cathedralls and Parish Churches so called with the rest of the superstition their attendants and sprinkling infants with the marke in the forehead set up in the time of Apostacy and did not the Pope by his decretall Epistle cause Tithes to be paid to the Parsons and Rectors of Parishes and did they not so become Lex terrae and so into parochiall rights so called thâ—â—e from See Cookes 2. part Institutes fol. 641.642 was not that the ground and rise of Tithes in England to the Parish Priests Parsons and Rectors c. Did not the Pope create those names of Parsons and Rectors c. in the time of Apostacy with a great number more of them and was not those names that he created of the number of the Beast which is said to be the number of a man c. Rev. 13.18 and is not many of those names which the Pope created yet upheld and stood in as Parsons and Rectors c. And doe they not hold Tithes under such denominations if so is not that an evident demonstration that they are yet in the Popes creation and of his succession and as Iohn in the Revelation speaketh of the Beast and his worship that took place in the Apostacy doth he not speak of the Image of the Beast that had life given to it in severall appearances was not those Images of the Beast severall inventions and set formes of worship which had life given to them by nationall Laws or else by force of the said Laws people were bound to the Image and worship of the Beast or for their refusall they suffered deeply and was not the Mass Book an invention of the Beast and one of his images or forme of worship set up in England as well as other place And was not people in England a long time bound to the Mass Book or that image and worship of the Beast and when that was discovered or denyed by Ed. 6. was not the Common Prayer book set up in the stead thereof See the Statute of the 1. and 2. Edw. 6.1 and was not that another invention or image of the Beast and set forme of worship which had life given to it by a Law though not much differing from the former viz. the Mass book and was not the life of that image or worship viz. the Common Prayer book taken away againe by a Law of Queen Maries and did not she by the same Law give life againe to the former image of the Beast that is to say the Mass book or that forme of worship which was in the time of Hen. the 8. See Sessio secunda Anno Mariae primo Cap. 2. and 3. And did not Elizabeth who the next after succeeded Mary repeale those Laws that gave life to the Mass book and did she not set up the Common Prayer book againe and give life to the same by a Law or thereby compell and binde people to the performance and worship of that image and uniforme worship set up by Eâ— 6. viz. the Common Prayer book See the Statute of the 1 Eliz. 2. And was not the same worship cried up as the true Christian Protestant Religion and confirmed by severall Parliaments or stood in force during the times of James and Charles late Kings of England untill it was discovered and the life of it viz. the Common Prayer book was taken away in the time of the late war or the said Common Prayer book was by Act of Parliament disanulled And what was the next unto that but a Directory and was it not fetcht out of Scotland and set up to be observed and what must be next the Common Prayer book againe or something of the like nature drawn up into an uniforme or would not the Patish Priests Parsons and Rectors c. have it to be so else what meaneth the pleading of some of them for the Common Prayer book or the like uniforme worship may it not be well said that people and nations are as waters tossed to and fro that have been and are so unsetled about their Religion since the coming of the false Christs and false Prophets in the time of Apostacy hath not the Beast which Iohn in the Revelations speaks of made war with the Saints ever since the time of the coming of the false Prophets spoken of by Christ Mat. 24. or since the time that Apostacy took place and hath he not to wit the Beast overcome the Saints by persecuting and putting them to death but is not the promise that the Lamb shall overcome and them that are with him who are called and chosen and faithfull and must not the everlasting Gospel be preached againe to all Nations and Kindreds and Peoples hath not the Beast long reigned in Apostacy and did not Iohn before his decease foresee it and declared that the Beast had power given over all Kindreds and Tongues and Nations and hath not all that dwell upon the earth worshipped the Beast but them that is to say the elect whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb slaine from the foundation of the world and is not the prophecy of Iohn in the Revelations since the Apostacy and coming of the aforesaid false Prophets largely fulfilled Rev. 13.7.8 And hath not the Beast according to that prophecy long had power over Tongues and to have power over Tongues hath it not been to order them by Masters of Art Batchelors of Art Vice-Chancelors over Colledges and others such as are of the number of the names of the Beast who are expert in the deceit or Magick Art c. and is not those Tongues that are so ordered which the Beast hath power over as aforesaid learned at Colledges c. and are not those Colledges called by names given in the time of Popery and was they not then erected c. and is not the Beast yet worshipped and must they not drink of the wine of the wrath of God poured out without mixture into the Cup of his indignation and be tormented night and day who worship the Beast and his image and whosoever receiveth the marke of his name as saith Iohn in the Revelations Chap. 14.9,10 11. What is the whores Cup of fornication and the great whore that hath long sitten upon the waters with which whore the Kings of the earth have committed fornication in which the blood of the Martyrs is found See Reve. 17. and read with understanding are not the waters where the whore sitteth there spoken of declared to be peoples and multitudes and Nations and Tongues ver 15. doth the whore sit upon Tongues what upon Greek Latine and Hebrew Schollers at Universities or Colledges now and ever since they were erected or set up in the time of Apostacy after the coming of the false Christs and false Prophets that Christ said should come and Iohn saw were come and have they
