A39999	Rectius instruendum, or, A review and examination of the doctrine presented by one assuming the name of ane [sic] informer in three dialogues with a certain doubter, upon the controverted points of episcopacy, the convenants against episcopacy and separation : wherein the unsoundnes, and (in manythinges) the inconsistency of the informers principles, arguments, and answers upon these points, the violence which he hath offred unto the Holy Scripture and to diverse authors ancient and modern, is demonstrat and made appear, and that truth which is after godlines owned by the true Protestant Presbyterian Church of Scotland asserted and vindicated.	Forrester, Thomas, 1635?-1706.	1684 (1684)	Wing F1597; ESTC R36468	441,276	728

shall this world become if these mens faith-banishing principles be once admitted Thirdly to evince that our Prelats puppets and new pleaders are Babe●… true brood and builders thou mayest see how sweetly they joyn with the Papists in their glosses upon these Scirptures pleaded against them Whenc it is evident even to a demonstrative certainty that the cause of popry and prelacy are of ane inseparable affinity and stand or fall together If this mans glosses whereby he shifts off our Scripture Arguments striking at the Bishops mitre be once admitted the popes triple crown is equally shielded against the weapons of all Protestants Our learn'd Protestant divines in confuting the popish evasions do so manage their dispute as if they were directly pleading against this Informer in defending our Prelacy And who heares his glossings pleadings and answers would imagine that by some Metempsuchosis Bellarmine or Eccius were now acting the Informer to proselyt the Presbyterians to our Prelacy or a papacy rather Besides 't is clear he embarques with the Papists in his endeavour to bring in antiquity and the Churches practice as the infallible comment upon the Scripture in the Episcopall debate consequently in all debats in Theology Nay we must measure the Temple and the Altar mould our Arguments in this point of truth by Scripture standard but for the utter court of Antiquity wee leave it out for it s given to the Gentiles It s many soul principles and practices will not be gotten within the Holy Scripture verge This man in his Scripture pleadings is very sparing for a few pages measure will do it But for Antiquity ware he mets us out large and full to the great part of all the book and in this he deals honestly giving the courser stuff the larger yard In fine thou may see these men discovered beyond all their hiding pretences of love peace and unity their large spacious charity extended to the dimensions of a Metropolitans pallace hath fine entertaining rooms for Papists Quakers Arminians c. but the poor Presbyterians will scarce get such a room in it as Bishop Bonners colehouse wherein he lodged the martyrs they cry out one Presbyterian Ministers as refusing all Christian fellowship with them in worship but when shall we see them open their pulpits to our Ministers after they have banish'd them from their own flocks They vili●… all our differences unto meere punctilioes yet they contend about them tanquam pro aris focis and had rather all Presbyterians were harassed and persecuted even to a consuming desolation then one fringe of their Garments As Bishop Lighton call'd the points debated were cut off and let go They declame zealously in their pulpits and Pamphlets against sanguinary Principles How can these cruell men say they looke up to the God of love But now after they have drunk pretty largely for many years of Presbyterian blood and are gaping for more as fast as the bloody whore of Rome who in a great measure influences them these devout Burrio's can wipe their mouths and pretend they have peace offerings with them Mistery Babylon Mystery Prelacy What ane abysse of deceit is here In the third place thou may see that the cause wee contend for as it hath the first and pure Scripture Antiquity so the next ensuing Antiquity also and the patrociny of the purer ages and the auspiciously Harmonious consent of reformed Churches and divines So that our present Testimony is the same with that of the witnesses against the beast and our adversaries stand arranged under Antichrists banner in the whole series at least complex farrago of their principles A Diocesian Erastian Prelacy underprop't by blood and Perjury headed by a civill papacy embracing in its bosome all foul errours is a hideous Monster a bowing wall a tottering sence and lookes in face and feature so unlike to Christs bride held out and pourtrayed in Scripture and once gloriously shining in this land that no disciple of Christ no friend of the Bridegroom can mistake the one for the other So that our adversaries charge of novell heterodoxy is a new minted calumny a frighting buk bear and scar-cnow fit to fright children in knowledge to be the derision of the knowing and for nothing else Fourthly thou hast here set before thee a looking glasse representing our sin and punishment in these later dayes Wee have not suitably emproven a faithfull Ministry once our Churches crown and glory now that crown is falling apace how many stars hath the dragon cast from heaven to earth Wee have not not studied personall reformation while publick Nationall reformation was owned therefore the holy Jealous God hath given us up to an avowed disouning of that reformation Wee endeavoured not while Gods candle shin'd upon our tabernacle to get our case discovered and search'd our hearts sprinkled from an evill Conscience therefore most of us are given up to Conscience Wasting sins We have not drawn with joy from our wells of salvation while they were open and running in a plenty of powerfull pure ordinances now God hath suffered Philistines to stop these Wells and while wee endeavour to dig them again such are the counter endeavours of this man and his fellowes by their pleading and practices that they are called Ezek and Sitna strife and contention Wee are like to dig and strive long ere wee get the well called Rehoboth and faithfull Ambassadours of Christ shall find their old rooms again in the house of God Wee ●…ave not keept up a due impression of the 〈◊〉 ●…lidging force of our National solemne Covenants with God who of us have endeavoured to perform our vowes to God therein Therefore God hath given most of us up to a palpable disowning and shamelesse renunciation and abjuration of these great and sacred Oaths Wee hid our selves from discoveries of our practical breaches and many whorish departings from God pointed at by our faithfull Seers now he hath given us up to a legall avowed departing The accursed thing which was before secretly with us is now pleaded for disputed for by pretended Seers and wathmen even the remnanm have dealt treacherously with God therefore he hath given them up to treacherous dealers who have dealt very treacherously with them Wee were wearied of reformation wearied of God and said to our faithfull seers see not prophecy not right things but deceits get you out of the way cause the holy one of Israel to cease from before us Ourwhorish hearts lusted after a sinfull liberty and Egypts flesh-pots neither were wee throughly ●…ged from our old sins our iniquities of 〈◊〉 Therefore God hath answered us 〈◊〉 cording to the Idols of our heart an●… hath said to us after wee have set up ou●… Calves go to Bethel transgresse at Gi●… gall c. He hath given us our desire and sent leannesse into our soul. Our noble Vine because so dreadfully degenerat is now whithered and wasted plukt up in fury planted in the wildernesse
