A20820	Abjuration of poperie, by Thomas Abernethie: sometime Iesuite, but now penitent sinner, and an unworthie member of the true reformed Church of God in Scotland, at Edinburgh, in the Gray-frier church, the 24. of August, 1638	Abernethie, Thomas, fl. 1638-1641.	1638 (1638)	STC 72; ESTC S100404	27,560	50

more I knew and yet persisted in my wickednesse against so strong a partie O infinite Ocean and superaboundant treasure of mercie What shall I say I poore naughtie worme yea dust opposed my self to that great GOD of heaven and earth by such kinde of grievous sins and hainous crimes as idolatrie taking away of his glorie spoiling him of his offices taking upon me his authoritie by forgiving of sins and such like and yet he out of his Fatherly love desisted not to do me good preserving me from many perils and dangers both in pest wars and travels roborating my memorie to receave and keep great diversitie of languages and strengthning my understanding to learne the experience and government of diverse kingdomes and Countreys Lord I continued to offend thee and thou continued to blesse me Deare Saviour who will consider these wonderfull works of thine on mee and not likewise confesse with me that thou art a father of mercie and GOD of all comfort That not only by nature but also by miscariage I was a childe of wrath but GOD who is rich in mercie for his great love wherewith he loved me even when I was dead in sins bath quickned me Now truely I see most loving Father 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 wilt have 〈◊〉 on whom thou wilt have mercie and wilt have compassion on whom thou wilt have compassion And consequentlie I may proclame the Lord the Lord God mercifull and gratious long suffering and abundant in goodnesse and truth and conclude this first point with the Prophet David that thy tender mercies are over all thy works For most meeke father although I have most grievouslie sinned against thee yet thou hast beene most mercifull unto me Glory Honour and Praise be unto thy holy Name therefore This my Confession and acknowledgement of the mercies of GOD towards me are not done by me to courage others in the continuance of their sins For that same GOD who out of his free mercie spared me for a time he destroyed with thunder from heaven that tyrannous apostate Julian in the heat of his sin crying out with despare Thou hast overcome O Gililean and suffered Judas to enter into desperation at the sight of the greatnesse of his sin and cut off his miserable life with his own hands I know that the Prophet sayeth though your sins be as skarlet they shall be as white as snow though they be red as crimsone they shall be as woole Yet Christ Jesus the master of all Prophets sayeth thereafter but except yee repent yee shall all likewise perish for as GOD is mercifull so is He likewise just That worthie Doctor Austine sayeth Humanum est peccare Diabolicum perseverare Angelicum resurgere It is a humane thing to fall in sin a devilish to persevere therein and an angelick or supernaturall to rise from it Therefore having in the first point of this discourse showne you how it hath pleased God to suffer me to fall by humane fragilitie and devilish perseverance in that monstruous sin of Poperie In this second I will Godwilling let you understand how it hath pleased God to raise me up from that Lithargie of superstitious idolatrie and heale my soul wounded with Poperie which was the second thing proponed by mee in the beginning Upon these words Heale my soule I might expatiat my self and amplifie this discourse largely with two considerations First inquiring wherein consisteth the health and perfection of mans poore wounded soule and secondly considering the nature and properties of the soule which is healed touching the first I might have to doe with three sorts of persons morale Philosophers scholastick Divines and erroneous Papists Showing the first that the perfection health and happinesse of our soul doth not consist in worldly pleasures riches sensuall lusts carnall concupiscences adoption of morall vertues speculation or contemplation of Gods creatures or in the dominion of the soule of man over his owne passions as many of them have had these severall opinions Discoursing with the second and trying whether or not that eternall felicitie and happinesse of our soules doeth consist in the actions of the understanding or of the will or of both and in what kinde And refuting the third in four points first Letting them see their errour when they imploy their Saints at Rome Loret Galatia and where they think expedient for health to their soule besides Christ or betweene them and Christ 2. Showing them that the Sacrament of Baptisme is not so absolute a salve but it leaveth behinde it the root and seed of sin fomitem peccati 3. Demonstrating to them that mans good works although they be tokens or symptomes yet are they not the cure and salve of the health of mans poore wounded soule And 4. That that true meane of the health of our soule Repentance is not to be defiled by their auricular confession and execrable satisfaction but is to be understood of a broken and contrite heart applying by faith the deare merits of that precious blood of Jesus Christ to our poore wounded souls But all these points of doctrine with their severall spirituall observations and uses I remit to an other time and place giving them Augustines resolution for all their questions Creasti nos Domine propter te inquietum est cor nostrum donec requiescat in te● Thou hast created us O Lord for thee and our soule is restlesse till it repose on thee O thou carnall minded and sensuall man look if thou hast this restlesnesse or not in thy soule Thou drunkard glutton adulterer fornicator usurer oppressoui invyer backbiter liar ambitious proud presumptuous angrie politick or atheist man and the rest of you whose end is destruction whose god is your belly and whose glory is in your shame who minde earthly things looke and consider neerely for it concerneth eternitie if yee expect the health of your soules from these your particular gods and idols or whence the Apostle expecteth it when hee sayeth For our conversation is in Heaven whence also we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ And the Prophet in my text LORD be mercifull unto me heale my soul. Take heed I say take heed least it be said to you sometime as the Apostle said to the Romans what fruit had yee then in those things whereof yee are now ashamed for the end of these things is death Or as Christ our blessed Saviour said what shall it profite a man if he shall gaine the whole world and losse his own soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul That which I might have spoken of the nature and properties of the soul I passe for the present remitting the courteous Reader to the commentaries upon Aristotles books of the soul And coming to my particular I will show you how it hath pleased God in his owne appointed time to heale my soule from the pest of Poperie And

surer and with greater hope of prevailing then with his Countriemen whom he assured to be of a stubborn nature dangerous to be dealt with and great Puritans directly opposite to the church of Rome And therefore nothing more should be desired of them but conformitie in matters of religion with England which the English church would gladly wish as if she were a mother church whereof others did flow neither could his Countriemen deny it in respect of his Majesties Supremacie and of the union of the two Crowns and Kingdomes that they both might have but one Lord one faith one baptisme one King For the execution of his counsell he proponed mutuall intelligence to be procured betwixt England and Rome which shortly after was begun by an Italian priest a great politician well versed in the French tongue called Il Signor Gregorio who stayed more as an year and an half in London for that effect and with whom I conferred in his owne ludging in the Convent garden at London and with two great men of our nation and now continueth there himself with great grudge to both the kingdomes seeing this mutuall intelligence was never heard of betwixt Rome and us since the Cardinals Wolsey and Polus dayes neither is it necessarie as Statesmen may see Now not Covenanter is thy curiositie satisfied This I know and more looke thou to it in time and bee not one of these who for vanitie or other ends vvill bee thought singulare against Gods cause and thy ovvne promise in baptisme And I will end this discourse that my enemies say not that I minde to put dissension betwixt Protestants and CONE-formists letting our neighbours England and Ireland see some of the dangers wherein they stand of that Romane antichrist and his congregation de extirpanda fide First then yee stand both in danger as well as we of these our related dangers especially of that mutuall intelligence between Rome and England 2. Of your Countrie mens affection to Rome if they be papists for alleadged rights of the popes upon you both the one called Peters pennie the other called Peters patrimonie 3. Your extreame great number of Jesuits and other Priests extending in England to five or six thousand so that they are striving among themselves and writing books against other which I my self carried to Rome for Bishopricks in your Church As for Ireland it hath fifteene papists bishops alone This is a great danger 4. Your populous multitude of Papists in you both extending to many thousands so that I am of that minde that in England the people if not alreadie may shortlie desire a Generall Assemblie for libertie of conscience 5. The education of your Nobilitie at schooles in forraine countries who having drunke in the doctrine of iniquitie from their tender age are both more perverse in themselves and more dangerous bringing in their friends and neighbours by their Priests to perdition with them 6. That which is to be lamented of all that you have good lawes both of you against Papists and very good reason to execute them but alace money break them granting to all Papists a pecuniall libertie of conscience and present banishment to all these poore reformed Christians who will not conforme with you and that which is to be laughen or rather weeped at that yee would blinde peoples eyes with your searchers going on the one side to apprehend priests and punish papists and on the other side to have your customers to receave moneyes and give discharges for libertie of papistrie O God! who doth not evidentlie perceave these monstruous dangers and not oppose himself with all his power to them if there remaine but a sponk of true Christianitie in him Truelie who doth it not I must of necessitie think him an internall papist The last danger of all the three kingdomes is Pensions whereof we may consider four things 1. The giver 2. The persons to whom they are given 3. The quantitie of the summes 4. And the end wherefore they are given There is certainlie pensions given in the Countrie for priests and intelligencers and out of the Countrie for Semenaries and correspondents of these intelligencers but to come to the particulars 1. The givers are the house of Austria and the foresaid Congregation de extirpanda fide 2. The persons to whom it is given in Scotland to my knowledge are the Priests whereof I vvas one the man that goeth for it and the thesaurer or keeper I knovv the names and residences of the rest and had set them dovvn heere if I had not declared them sufficiently by vvrit alreadie And if there be given pensions to any other as to these the superiour vvith his counsellours and the Treasurer knovv it for me I knovv not but this I am assured of that there was more sent into the country than was bestowed upon the foresaid persons 3 The quantitie in cumulo is best known to them I being none of the Superiours counsellours in respect of my travels for the mission the quantitie that we who were Priests gote was an hundred crowns in the yeer from Rome and eighteene pence every day from Spaine besides our purchase by our Masses Confessions and Pardons which was more or lesse conforme to out imployment and the persons with whom we dealt 4. Lastly in a word the end of these gifts is pretended zeal and piety but truely intended Hierarchie of Rome and Monarchie of Spaine which may appear by the deposition of M. George Ker and the Jesuits Abercrumbie Crighton and Gordoun with three Noblemens letters intercepted with him and registrat in this town the year of God 1592. by his pensions given to us and his pretended rights over our native countries If this be not an evident danger to suffer so many forraine Princes pensioners in your bosome God see to it in his own time and give me grace that I may follow my sincere and heartie resolution that at the houre of my death I may say wirh the Apostle I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have keept the faith hence foorth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousnesse which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day c. And I shall be surely one of these to who my blessed Saviour shall say in that day Come yee blessed of my Father inherit the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world To this gratious Father vvith his blessed Son and the holy Ghost be all povver praise and glory honour and dominion for ever Amen FINIS Pet.
