A91933	Diapoliteia. A Christian concertation with Mr. Prin, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Harrington, for the true cause of the Commonvvealth. Or, An answer to Mr. Prin's (perditory) anatomy of the Republick, and his true and perfect narrative, &c. To Mr. Baxter's (purgatory) pills for the Army: and his wounding answer to the healing question. With some soft reflections upon his Catholick (or rather Cathulactick) key; and an examen of the late petition of the sixth of July to this Parliament. In all which we have a most necessary vindication of the cause; of the honourable persons now in Parliament and Council, from the venome and vilification of their pens. By Joh. Rogers, thorugh grace kept (under many sufferings) a faithful servant to Jesus Christ, his cause and the Commonwealth.

of all Parts and Parties of it not exempting the sober-minded and most capable of ALL Judgements whether they follow Mr. P. in Dissection Mr. B. in his Physick-Administration Mr. H. in his Politicks or us in our Theo-cratick-Constitution according to the Reason of all Rules and Principles whether Historical Practical Political or Theorical that agree with their own Art Judgement and P●ofession and wherein they must necessarily acquiesce at the last As 1. That a most Demonstrative Care may be ever had to the Balance of the Government by which judgement and Justice is Weighed out to All. This Rule of a Balancing equal and even Hand as well as Habit is with Demonstration to be observed in a true and sober Anatomy distinguished from a rash irrational and vulnerary Dissection such a one as Mr. P's of the Commonwealth Such a special care is to be kept up also in all Physical Doses to the Hum. Body which Mr. B. is far from accommodating as may most exactly Balance all the humours elements spirits and parts of the Body in an Equal and orderly Temperament for the whole that one have have not the mastery of another or over all the rest to the Ruine of the whole And in Politicks Mr. Har. hath demonstrated it to be most absolutely and accurately requisite so as the EQUI-LIBRIUM of it be not imposed upon obtruded or obstructed by fraud or force neither in the Equal Libration of encouragements due to Good Men and Adherents nor yet of punishments due to Bad Men and Delinquents which I have offered in a former Book that the Frame of it be so held as may keep the Scales even to All Men and not more leaning to one party then another which is most certain and perfect in a Theocratick Government where the frame is good the balance even the Strings sound and certain the Hand that holds it most just steady and exact and the Weights and Measures are all Sealed and Authentick with GOD and Men in all Nations under Christ so that no one can complain of violence and spoyl injustice oppression or injury done unto them by that Balance the Equity of it is with such Conviction and Demonstration to Men Dan. 5. 2. Ezek. 5. 1. Isa 26. 7. and Delight to the Lord Prov. 11 1. 20. 23. 16. 2 11. whiles a false or uneven Balance is abhorred Micah 6. 11. Hos 12. 7. Prov. 11. 1. A false Balance is abomination to the Lord But a just weight is his delight and therefore saies Job Chap. 31. 6. Let me be weighed in an Even Balance that my integrity may be known 2. Consideration Let as exquisite a care be had to keep out or kill all faction or party-interest in the Parliament which like a Canker-worm will be sure to eat into the very body and being of the Commonwealth if not prevented which will pain it for the present and kill it in time This Rule Mr. P. ought to have observed in the true Anatomy of the Common-wealth as Artists do so to consider a Part as co-hering and co-alizing with the whole and as that which doth integrate and accompish the whole and so to have cut up 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This with respect to that and the other and so all parts of the Commonwealth This Rule was as requisite too for Mr. B. to have observed in his Physical Directory and Dispensatory to the Army for in all Methodical Cures of distemper'd bodies such means must be used as suit best with the State of the whole body and not with the state of that or those parts of the body only which are so morbous and ill-affected for the easing of them may be with the destruction of the WHOLE by it and this is his dangerous prescription to promote a faction gratifie a party among ill-affected Presbyterians or Cavaliers and utterly ruine the Commonwealth by an universal and most certain revulsion of all those vitious humors which he complains of Wherefore to avoid this dangerous DESIGN of curing a part who may cry him up for an able Doctor to give them present ease by killing the whole All Curatory and Conservatory means of health to this body of the Commonwealth must consist with the constitution indications and co-indications of the whole body and not of a part for the whole This Rule is also most exactly observed in Politicks wherein the indulging of a faction did ever presage the fatal destiny of that Commonwealth so did the Factions of Hanno and Hannibal in Carthage and of the Decemviri in Rome so Sylla and Pompey's and Caesar's parties but what need we go so far seeing this our Parliament may remember that Tarquin was never neerer his return to the Throne by the factions of Rome and Conspiracies of Brutus's sons then the King was by the contentious and factious parties in the Long Parliament both before the eleven Members were accused of Treason and since between Presbyters and Independants not wanting the widest Bellows of others to effect it by the blowing up of every spark to a burning flame or shame But ah alas whither go we is it not too notorious and talk'd of already as if such a faction were now in the House at the old Game to the extraordinary Regrete of your friends and rejoycing of your foes which WISE MEN profess will be past the skill of any mortal wight on earth to cure if the Lord prevent not so few there be that find the Art of killing this Canker or of curing the Commonwealth But yet a many offer it And 1. Mr. P. by cutting off the new Members so infected 2. Mr. B. by calling in the old Members worse corrupted But 3. Mr. H. by an innovation of all together and so of all the Maligne humors in one which are sure to maintain it Whereas the only way to cure it in my judgement is to find out the Cause of this Gangrening faction and 1. to state the true interest of the Common-wealth and Cause that we may know what to call a faction or Deviation from it to any party And then to prevent it by MEANS inward and outward 1. INWARD in a moderate purging out the most dangerous humors or spirits of Malignity and in keeping cool and clean the Liver i. e. the seat of Natural Life in the Commonwealth both as to the inward and outward or most Gibbous parts thereof which I have formerly described for the benefit of good bloud throughout the whole body not distinct as Mr. H. would have it upon the single account of natural right and freedom but conjunct with the Animal and vital spirits viz. of the head and heart which is Jesus Christ and his precious servants that are truly godly without respect to any judgement or opinion who are indeed the very seat of the vital faculties and sence of this Commonwealth as much slighted as

of believers are his Principles yea so remote and declaredly distant from the keeping up of any one Sect sort of men party or faction whatever is his Practice and in both so far either from opposing or imposing in things civil or Religious that had Mr. B. been not above 89. degrees off of Logick-longitude or 98. of Christian-latitude I should have had some hopes of finding him out or of overtaking him at least before he came to the very Nadir and Antipodes of Truth it's self Ah Miser Quanta laboras in Charybdi but now I have lost him in the dark World and yet would send after him one Scripture to give him Light if the Lord please Eccles 7. 16. Be not righteous OVER-MUCH neither make thy self OVER-WISE for why shouldest thou destroy thy self lammah tishshomem why wilt thou make thy self desolate SEPT 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or bring a stroke upon thy self even to astonishment to go on so by an over-confidence in ways of sin and slandring But by this little Pen-tilt or justing may the Spectators see how tottering and unsure Mr. B. sits the saddle in other things if in this he be so easily cast out of it and more by his own unweildy Weapons then by others the very Splinters of his own LANCE splitting and flying in his own face wound him more deeply and the Crena of his own discourse and writings truly collated together do pierce him more to the quick then I could have found in my heart he should have been put to the pain or smart of which he is sure to feel at last and the longer they lie in the flesh rankling and he unsensible the WORSE the worse For my own part I had rather lick the Sores then enlarge them or make him new ones by any new Answers or engagements only I wish with my heart he may not neglect these of his own giving which he intended for others which may be cured but with a SKAR It is a saying That the blind eats many a flie and had not Mr. B. been as blind as a Beetle with such bleating prejudices and dusty passions he would have seen before he had swallowed so many unsound and notorious Soloecisms which whiles they were dropping from his pen might have stricken a conviction as they do a contradiction a confutation of himself by himself in more by much then I have mention'd besides the multiplied untruths and absurdities so often reiterated until almost believed which are so clearly refuted both now and formerly and Sir H. Vane's honour rescued from the devouring jawes of such insatiable detraction by a godly Minister a little while since I need to say no more to prove Mr. B. guilty not only of a Scandalum Magnum but a Scandalum MAGNATUM unless it be in this that he windes the Horne of falshood HIGHER yet and would insinuate p. 331. of 's Key Sir H. V. brought his Doctrine out of ITALY with him where he never was in all his days and as if he had the greatest hand in that JUSTICE 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 King-killing as he calls it who then was neither in the Parliament nor of that Court. And as if God had witness'd against him in New England which is as true as all the rest it being known to 1000. what a witness he hath had from God and men both here and there even until this hour Integer Vitae Scelerisque Purus Non eget Mauri jaculis neque Arcu Nec Venenatis gravida Sagittis fusce pharetra The ARCHERS have sorely grieved him and shot at him and hated him But yet his BOW abode in strength and the Arms of his Hands were made strong by the HANDS of the mighty God of Jacob. Wherefore the Lord convince and humble Mr. B. that the Gospel may not suffer such dishonour of whom I have had a high esteem so long as he was comprehensive in his spirit and yet shall have so far as he 's apprehensive in the TRUTH with a latitude of love and charity to his Brethren but I dare not follow him into the other world or a world of lies ugly and mishapen monsters such as I should think might make him tremble to lie down with as with Dragons Satyres and with Schreech-owls Nor can I think that he hath been without some secret Psithurisms in his minde for this TEMERITY the Concomitant of his HAST as he calls it in 's Lr. to Dr. Heylin for a far less matter or to use the Phy-sick-phrase his unnatural heat and wrathful spirit which worketh not the righteousness of God I had rather his KEY would have let us in to the God of truth or truth of God then to the father of lies lest such as fall in with it should be left to the PARABLE and Doom of POPE Sixtus Quintus that Adams on Pet. tells us of p. 1114. who when he died knocked long for Admission into heaven like them in Mat. 7. 21 and 25. Saying Lord Lord open to us but was remitted to fetch his own KEYS first which would do him no good when they came for the WARDS were altered and so I doubt Mr. B's KEY will no more unlock the gate of heaven for his Catholicks at the last day then the Popes KEY will for his Catholicks or for himself at this day But thus we conclude the second Consideration viz. his insinuation to the Army that his stirring them up to a repentance c. would be accounted a second Gangrene or a Scandalum MAGNATUM 3. His Lenitives to the Army and Mr. P's Corrosives are applyed all to one END viz. to repent of Secluding the Members of the House of Commons and to restore them and a single Person in all haste again saying We have sworn and sworn and sworn again for King Lords and Commons c. which Mr. P. urges as though this Parliament had not the Authority of a Parliament without them saying in p. 39. of 's Narr Nor can the Bedlam Turkish Brutish unreasonable Argument of the longest Sword or Army-logick nor Petitions Addresses of crack-brain'd Sectaries and Vulgar Rabble of illiterate People make them so Neither did they for they are SO without them But for all this seeing these Corroding biting ingredients and Diureticks will not do it It must be Physick of a more strange operation in their judgement and more violent means that must be used to revive the filthy CORPSE if their CLISTER-Pipe cannot effect it to try it by the SWORD-Pipe Seeing they are not upon the subject of health and sickness but of life and death Not to recover a dying Patient but a long-since dead Carcase which by this time stinketh and is corrupt or had they been Members of this Commonwealth-Parliament which they never were yet seeing ex concessis they are all for Kingly Government and against the Free-State they could never have been rejoyn'd by any rules that I can find 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 according to
