to haue of the holie Trinitie VERILOQVVS THe same which the Church holdeth and alloweth of that there is one true liuing and eternall God Iohn 4. Iohn 1. 1. Tim. 6. 2. Cor. 13. Ioh. 1.4.6 Sap. 11. the which is without bodie partes and passions bicause he is a spirit whom neuer anie man yet saw neither can sée nor know but Christ for he can not be séene with carnall eies and he is the God of peace and loue louing all and hating nothing that he hath made he is of infinite power wisdome goodnes and mercie the creatour preseruer and nourisher of all things visible and inuisible which deliuereth vs from euill Esai 43. Iohn 3. Rom. 5. And in the vnitie of this same diuine nature there are thrée distinct persons of the like power essence wisdome glorie and eternitie that is to saie the Father the Sonne and the Holie-ghost which are the blessed Trinitie And the sonne of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 patris Iohn 1. the word of the father is the second person in this Trinitie the true euerlasting glorious and omnipotent God 2. Cor. 4. Col. 1. begotten before all worlds of his eternall father and is his verie image being of like substance togither with him Col. 2. in whome are the treasures of wisdome and of knowledge and fulnes of diuine power He tooke vpon him in the wombe of the blessed virgin Marie humane nature of hir substance and was borne in the world in somuch that there is conioined fullie and perfectlie in the vnitie of person a double nature neuer to be separated that is the nature of God and of man wherof is made one Christ perfect God and perfect man sinne onlie excepted who suffered vnder Pontius Pilate 1. Tim 2. 1. Ioh. 2.4 Eph. 3. Rom. 5.8 Act. 2. and became the mediator betwéene God and man that in him onlie should be found the sufficiencie of remission of all sinnes both originall and actuall for all them that euer were or shal be vpon the face of the earth And the Holie-ghost is the third person in this Trinitie which procéedeth from the father and the sonne and is the holie and diuine power 1. Rom. 10 whereby mens harts are renewed from heauen he is of like essence power glorie and maiestie with the father and the sonne with whome he is coequall coeternall and God euerlasting by whome we comprehend the things of God for he giueth witnesse to our harts 1. Iohn 2. that we are of God by the which also Rom. 1. Gal. 5. 1. Pet. 2. we call vpon the father with confidence faith to be saued by Christ which is the bishop of our soules FALSIL. God made all things and without him was made nothing that was made Iohn 1. Wisd 1. But God made not death sin nor the diuell Therefore God made not all things VERIL. The fallacie lieth in the consequent which must be denied Almightie God that is all wisdome infinit power and goodnes created all things in such excellent goodnes that it is said Valde sunt bona Gen. 1. They were all passing good and God saw that they were good then he blessed them and his sentence is not to be reuoked bicause he being without bodie parts and passions cannot repent And as the diuell was not euer a diuell from the beginning for the Apostle saith Angeli qui non seruarunt originem suam Iude. The Angels which kept not there first estate so he was created and that an Angell of light and not a diuell Colos 3. For God being most perfectly good could not consent to make anie thing but that which was good and his owne pride made himselfe a diuell the author of sinne the heire of eternall fier Matt. 25. Then he tempting our first parents by the apple of disobedience made them likewise so sinfull that by Adam we are all sinners Rom. 5. of whome we haue the inclination to doo euill and then consequentlie followed death and was engendred of our said parents déeds as the onelie fruite of their lewd stubborne disobedience which they learned of Sathans disobedience Sic diaboli inuidia Wisd 2. mors intrauit in mundum So by the enuie of the diuell death entred into the world Rom. 6. And S. Paule saith Stipendium peccati mors est Death is the reward of sinne which still increased and wickednes multiplied by the reason men were tempted drawne awaie and entised of their owne concupiscence Iacob 1. then lust conceiued and brought foorth sinne and sin when it was finished brought foorth death So that then God tooke vnto him death for the punishment of sinne that therewith he might correct the wicked teaching them that transgressors might not lawfullie sin without punishment So it is said in another place Ignis Eccle. 39. grando fames mors omnia haec creata sunt ad vindictam Fier haile hunger and death all these are created for vengeance that is to saie after the fall of man God appointed and exercised all these things for the punishment of the wicked wherby he tooke vengeance of his enimies Rom. 1. and dooth vse them as an instrument to strike the wicked withall and oftentimes dooth punish one sinne with another Thus we doo now see Iaco. 1.17 that Omne donum bonum ac perfectum à patre luminum Euerie good and perfect gift commeth downe from the father of lights and that he made not death sinne nor the diuell in his diuelishnes from the beginning Wisd 1. for he is not delighted in Perditione viuorum in the destruction of the liuing nor can be the author of anie damnation though his wrath and iustice powreth downe his plagues vpon the children of disobedience and vnbeléefe dailie Esaie 5. bicause they drawe sinne vnto them as it were with a cart rope according to the prophets saieng FALSIL. How much shall adulterie be punished by the censure of Gods holie word VERIL. Adulterie which is the violation and breach of the faith promised in mariage a thing odious and forbidden of God Exod. 20. Leui. 18. Deut. 5. is so gréeuouslie punished of him that all adulterers shall without they doo truelie repent bée cast awaie into vtter darkenes 1. Corin. 6. Hebru 13. Ierem. 8. which is without the kingdome of God And if men doo not punish adulterers God himselfe will surelie punish them 2. Reg. 12. As we haue an example of king Dauids sonne which Vrias wife bare vnto him whom the Lord so stroke with sicknes for the adulterie of his father that it fell sicke and died the seuenth daie after Mala. 3. Thus the Lord himselfe verelie will be a swift witnes against all adulterers FALSIL. Carnall copulation is the ordinarie meanes onelie for mankind to be encreased and multiplied and to fill the world Genesi 1. God commanded Adam and Eue to encrease and multiplie and fill the world

euill what is the office of good angels VERIL. The office of good angels is to preserue and defend Gods people namelie the church the politicall gouernance and commons as the prophet saith Psalm 33. Circumuallat angelus domini timentes eum eripiet eos The angell of the Lord tarrieth round about them that feare him and will deliuer them Againe Angelis suis mandauit de te Psalm 91. vt custodiant te in omnibus vijs tuis He hath giuen his angels charge ouer thée that they shall kéep thée in all thy waies And Christ himselfe speaketh most comfortablie of children Amen dico vobis quòd angeli puerorum semper vident faciem patru mei Matth. 18. qui in coelis est Verelie I saie vnto you that the angels of children behold the face of my father which is in heauen Such is the great humilitie of these most excellent spirits that they be the kéepers of children they sit about their cradels they walke with vs they be with vs in our beds at the fire at the table and euerie where alwaies resisting the wicked angels that they should not hurt vs in bodie or in goods which they alwaies diligentlie endeuour to doo according to this saieng Diabolus circuit nos 1. Pet. 5. tanquam leo rugiens quarens quem deuoret The diuell goeth round about vs like a roring lion séeking whom he may deuoure Thus he dooth not mooued therevnto by anie pleasure or commoditie that he hath thereby but onelie for the insatiable hatred that he beareth against God his sonne Christ whom he would not haue to be glorified in mankind but that all men shuld blaspheme God as he dooth himselfe bicause he knoweth to be still in a damnable state FALSIL. Matth. 18. Christ biddeth vs cut off our hands and féet also to plucke out our eies if they be a let vnto vs Therefore these members must be destroied and cast awaie VERIL. I denie the consequent bicause it is a metaphoricall spéech For our hands and féet doo signifie our fellowes and fréends our eies doo signifie our admonishers and counsell-giuers which would abduce vs and lead vs awaie from God his doctrine true religion or from a godlie life Therefore we must cut off relinquish and auoid their companies and counsels And it is not onelie our outward parts that be lets and hinderances vnto vs to trauell toward the celestiall Hierusalem but also euen our hearts Matth. 12. out of the which doo come euill thoughts and offenses FALSILOQVVS If sinne be the cause of sickenesse and death Matth. 9. whie are christians subiect to death sorrowes and other infirmities incident to mankind séeing their sinnes are forgiuen them VERILOQVVS First bicause the remnant of sinnes hangeth and cleaueth fast yet in the nature of those that are regenerate and new-borne which must be mortified and abolished by death and other calamities as the apostle saith Rom. 7. Corpus mortificatur propter peccatum The bodie must be mortified for sinne which sticketh fast in our flesh or nature Next that God might shew his power infinite in the deliuering of the good contrarie to the power furie and tyrannie of the diuell and his members according as it is written Psalm 5. Mirificauit Dominus sanctum suum The Lord hath maruellouslie wrought with his saints that is he hath wonderfullie deliuered his seruant Thirdlie bicause the faith praier of the godlie might shine and be exercised in calamities as it is said Vexatio dat intellectum Vexation giueth vnderstanding Esai 29.26 Againe Domine in tribulatione visitant te Lord the people in their trouble will visit thée The miserie wherin mankind make their praiers vnto God is a discipline and correction to them to wake them out of their securitie carelesse slumbering in sin FALSIL. Their sinnes must be forgiuen them which doo acknowledge the same and doo promise amendment of life according to this saieng Quorumcunque peccata remiseritis remittentur eis Whose sinnes so euer ye shall forgiue they shall be forgiuen them Againe Luke 24. Preach repentance and forgiuenesse of sinnes in my name Therefore there ought to be no excommunication in the church or punishment to be executed vpon the wicked by the magistrate VERIL. I denie the consequent First bicause there is a double ministerie of the gospell the one is the declaration of the gospell by the which the sinnes knowne and the sinnes vnknowne are forgiuen to all them that doo truelie repent according to the former saieng Whose sinnes so euer ye forgiue they are forgiuen them But such as doo manifestlie offend and be often admonished yet will not repent and amend they are to be excommunicated that is they are to be cast out of the societie of the church vntill they doo amend their liues and shew publike signes and tokens of their amendment So Christ commandeth him that falleth first to be admonished that he may of his owne accord returne into the waie if he returne he commandeth him to be receiued if not to be excommunicated as the Corinthians excommunicated the incestuous person at the commandement of S. Paule and as Ambrose excommunicated Stilicons scribe Next the magistrate hath a commandement to punish the wicked for it is written Qui gladium accipit gladio perilit He that taketh the sword shall perish with the sword Also Rom. 13. Magistratus Dei minister est vltor ad iram ei qui quod malum est fecerit The magistrate is Gods minister to take vengeance of him that dooth euill FALSIL. How shall the iudgement be in the end of the world VERIL. Matth. 24. In the end of the world Christ shall come in the clouds of heauen accompanied with the holie angels of his power and flaming fire and at the horrible sound and dreadfull blast of the trumpet which shall then sound as it were these words Surgite mortui 2. Thes 1. venite ad iudicium omnes Arise you dead and come all vnto iudgement All mankind that haue liued from the creation of the world to that time shall rise againe whole and perfect with their bodies soules before the iudgement seat of God and shall go to reaping of the fruits that they haue sowne in this world namelie they that haue sowne in the flesh Galar 6. shall reape corruption of the flesh and those that haue sowne in the spirit shall reape life euerlasting FALSIL. 1. Cor. 15. We shall all rise againe at the last daie The wicked shall not stand in the iudgement Psal 1. Therefore all shall not rise againe VERIL. The consequent truelie is in this place nothing true Psal 1. For the prophet speaketh not héere of the generall iudgement that shall be at the end of the world when Christ shall appeare in the maiestie of his glorie to iudge the quicke and the dead for then all without exception both good and euill shall rise againe to receiue the reward of the works of their bodies Of this resurrection S. Paule speaketh abundantlie 1. Thes 4. 1. Cor. 15. and Dauid compareth in this scripture the good with the wicked praising the vertues of the good saieng His leafe shall not fall awaie And in the same place a little after by a pretie antithesis he describeth the wicked Antitheton a figure when contraries be compared recording Non sic impij non sic The wicked shall be nothing so nor shall prosper in anie their dooings and studies like the godlie but they shall be scattered as most vaine like dust vpon the face of the earth and shall not continue in the function of iudgement and ministerie of office as other men doo but they shall be cut off 1. Reg. 31. 3. Reg. 12. as Saule and Ieroboam were with their posteritie and Dauid continued in his séed and reigned continuallie Againe the wicked shall not arise in iudgement when they shall be giuen to be iudged by the word of God yet will not amend their liues but will flie from the face of the earth with a troubled conscience they will not be reprooued but hate correction when Gods word condemneth them they will growe into the furie of madnesse they will not heare wholsome doctrine but blaspheme it and persecute it euen to the death like swine and mad dogs As for example The Phariseis stirred against the Lord and his Christ they came together they consulted they practised althings to kéepe the pompe of their owne glorie lucre and to destroie Christ and his gospell This is the meaning of the psalmograph The wicked doo not arise and ascend into iudgement to iudge themselues to amendment of life but lie in blindnesse and harden themselues in wickednes not suffering the iudgement of the spirit whereas euerie good man will gladlie haue all his owne righteousnes which is like a defiled cloth to be condemned Esaie 64. and to appeale to the righteousnesse which we haue in Christ Iesus to whom with the father and the Holie-ghost be all power honor and glorie now and for euer and euer Amen FINIS Imprinted at London by H.
