A64889	Coleman-street conclave visited, and, that grand imposter, the schismaticks cheater in chief (who hath long, slily lurked therein) truly and duly discovered containing a most palpable and plain display of Mr. John Goodwin's self-conviction (under his own hand-writing) and of the notorious heresies, errours, malice, pride, and hypocrisie of his most huge garagantua, in falsly pretended piety, to the lamentable misleading of his too-too credulous soul-murthered proselytes of Coleman-street & elsewhere : collected, principally, out of his own big-bragadochio and wavelike-swelling and swaggering writings, full-fraught with six-footed terms, and flashie rhetoricall phrases, far more than solid and sacred truths, and may fitly serve (if it be the Lords will) like Belshazzars hand-writing, on the wall of his conscience, to strike terrour and shame into his own soul, and shamelesse face, and to un-deceive his most miserably cheated and inchanted, or bewitched followers / by John Vicars.

sad and bad and very wide breach which is most unhappily and most unholily made by the Independents and all other Sectaries by saying that our difference is not in fundamentals but only in point of Church discipline or Government as if that if it were no more were a slight thing and not so worthy our zealous opposing and blaming of them even therein Whereas besides that yee see what a high and heynous Rebellion it is against the Lord and against his Vice-Gerents here on earth yee ought most seriously to lay to heart that without Church-discipline which is the hedge pale and strong wall of Religion in what a desperate danger of utter destroying is Gods Garden the Church most rarely and richly adorned with all sorts of sweet and odoriferous flowers wholsome herbs and soul-preserving plants if you take away the pale or fence thereof and lay and leave it open that so wilde and vile Boars and Beasts of all sorts I mean Independents Anabaptists Prelates and Papists may most easily rush in and root-up all those sweet and fragrant flowers and pretious plants But withall I may most faithfully and firmly avouch and aver it that the difference is yet far greater and more grievous between us Presbyterians and even those whom we mincingly call meere or pure Independents and that in a grand fundamentall yea such a fundamentall as is and will be the main means of totall and terrible not onely shaking but shattering in pieces and utter ruining of all fundamentals in the true Religion and of making that breach of all breaches the destruction of all Religion even so as may by no means be admitted or endured unlesse we are resolved to drive away God and all other Good from us and that without remedy or recovery I mean accursed and intolerable Toleration of all opinions and practices which if permitted to them I see no reason but must be permitted to All and so a universall Toleration which most if not all Independents claim to themselves and so an epidemical Libertinisme or Liberty of Conscience as they call it In this respect also therefore I say and hold that all sorts of Independents among us separating themselves into their private Conventicles unwarranted Church Way as they call it against all Authority and Power of the King and Parliament the unquestionable Sovereigne and Supream Magistracie ordained by God himself and in resisting whose Ordinance they apparently oppose and resist even the Lord God of Heaven Himself are not by any means to be admitted or permitted amongst us neither is their Separation or Division from us to be so extenuated or so minced by us as to give any the least allowance to them in their open rebellious wayes of worshipping God where when and how they please Since especially as here you have most evidently and undeniably seen by that foresaid most apposite pertinent Paralell their Sin herein being no lesse than open odious Rebellion which is the sin of Witchcraft against Gods righteous Authority here on earth notwithstanding their plausible pretences as here those Rebels did of Saint-ship forsooth piety and holinesse in everyone of them though most falsly in their thus most directly rising up against Moses and Aaron as our Independents do now adayes against the most just and righteous Authority of Parliament and their power in constituting under them for their assistance in matters of Religion the Synod or Assembly of Divines at Westminster even as the Lord appointed and constituted Aaron under Moses in holy things Which serious Premonition and Consideration I beseech the Lord in the riches of his grace and in the multitudes of his mercies to poor unworthy and almost quite dilacerated because Apostatized England to lay sadly and seriously to the hearts of All both in Parliament Assembly City and Country to make them thereupon more zealous for the Lord and his most righteous Cause even a long and most longed-for thorough-Reformation according to our most Solemne and sacred Covenant Amen and Amen J. VICARS Coleman-street Conclave Visited NOt without exceeding just and most important cause did the Lord Jesus Christ himself the Fountain and Foundation of Truth yea Truth itselfe by way of Premonition Caution and heavenly Counsell tell us before hand That in these latter dayes false-Christs and false-Prophets would arise amongst us saying Lo here is Christ or Lo there he is And shall with lies and deceiveable signes and wonders of pretended parts and piety so craftily carry themselves that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect children of God Behold sayes our Saviour I have told you of this before Wherefore if they shall say unto you see here how our Saviour ingeminates the caution as a thing of serious consideration Behold he is in the desert go not forth behold he is in the secret chambers marke here also how neer our Saviour comes to our Sectaries practises rebellious Church-ways as they call them now adays or he is in shops barns and such like private Conventicles believe it not And as the Apostle Paul sayes so cunningly and craftily will they outwardly appear in white innocent and silly lamb-skins as thereby to transform themselves into the Apostles of Christ And no marvell sayes he for even Satan can transform himselfe into an Angel of light And therefore one very wittily and most worthily distinguishes these close Hypocrites from openly prophane men and loose livers into Black-Devils and White-Devils And our blessed Saviour himselfe confirms the truth of this distinction Have not I chosen you twelve and one of you is a Devill even Judas Iscariot that sheepskin-Devill who so craftily and demurely demeaned himselfe in an outward shew of parts and piety as that none of the honest and true hearted Disciples could discover him to be so but thought him as honest and holy a man as the best of them all till Christ discovered and uncased him and his own close sin at last found him out and shewed him to them all to be a grand Hypocrite indeed And therefore truly these White-Devils are so much the more desperate and dangerous destroyers of mens souls by howmuch the more slily and insinuatingly they with serpents subtilty insensibly creepe into their bosomes and soules and so most devilishly undoe them Wherefore the Lord Christ told the Pharisees especially among the Jews That they were of their father the Devill and that they did his works he was a lyer and a murtherer from the beginning yea and the Father of lies And so indeed are all his hypocriticall Schismaticall sons young White-Devils from their Grand-sire Satan that old White-Devill even such as cannot abide the Truth no nor abide in the Truth but by lying Errours Heresies and most damnable Opinions become like Satan himselfe murtherers of mens most precious souls And have we not here now found out a White-Devill indeed a Pharisaicall Hypocrite in grain a Grand Impostor to
