And first like a Churchman of the old stamp he will permit his Majesty to come into the Church that 's more kindness than old St. Ambrose Bishop of Milan would show sometimes to the great Emperour Theodosius when he did not do as he would have him to do nay this Arch-deacon opens the doors himself to let his Majesty into the Church but he will nor trust him with the Keys as who should say we will open the Church doors to your Majesty and come in and welcome whilst we continue good friends But they that keep the Keys and can open the Church-doors to let his Majesty in can also whilst we have the keeping of the Keys upon displeasure lock him out well for this very trick and for another late Scotch trick it I were a Privy Councellour I would advise his Majesty as Head of the Church and the Governour thereof to keep the Keys of the Church in his Pocket or hang them under his Girdle if it be but because this Prclatical Champion this same pitiful Arch-deacon like another Pope or Sr. Peter w●●● keep the Keys of the Church and will keep his Majesty from them and we would f●●● perswade him that our Laws to use his words p. 2. of the Proeme Excludes the purely Spiritual Power of the Keys from the Supremacy of our Kings except it be to see that Spiritual Men do their Duty the 〈◊〉 Belike this same Arch-deacon carries the Leges Angi● the Laws of England in his belly and greedy gut for I am su● he carries the● 〈◊〉 or no where he carries not these bulky L●ws of England in his 〈…〉 no gues in his brains For I pray Good D D. where goes our Laws 〈…〉 ●urely Spiritual Power of the Keys from the Soptemacy of our Kings if our Kings ●ke good King David or wh● King Soloman shou● have a mind to be ●cclesia●tes In the days even of Popery I never heard of a King shut our even from the Topp●n-Pulpit if he had a mind to climb so high stone Henry the 3d. made 〈◊〉 to 〈◊〉 ●he Pulpit took his Text Psal 85.10 Righteousness and Peace have kiss d●each other and then in his Sermon ad Cierum to the Le●rned M●ks of the Cathedral Church of Winchester when he had a little self end too as some Pulpiteers have also had in the case namely to C●jole the said Monks to Elect his Brother Athelmar Bishop of Winchester Paraphrasing and enlarging upon his Text and saying to use his own words 〈…〉 To me and other Kings who are to govern the people belongs the rigour of Judgment and Justice to you who are men of quiet and Religion Peace and Tranquillity And this day I hear you have for your own good been savourable to my requ●● With many such like words I do not know whether the King had got a License to Preach from a Bishop It seems the Clergy then too would favour Kings in what was for their own good and if it were for their own good would also permit the King to take a Text and preach in their Cathedral Church how hard hearted or strait-lac't soever our Archdean proves and will not suffer our Kings to have the Keys neither of the Church nor Pulpit I say therefore some Kings would therefore keep the Keys of the Church themselves and trust never a D.

or Lord of the first House was wonderfully culminant and strong or else it is imposible that Irregularity and Folly could ever have been so notourly signified If I can erect thy Scheme I do prognosticat thou art in thy Detriment Fall and Azimuth I confess that amongst Dancing masters Rop-dancers Spanials and Monkeyes he is the fairest Candidate for a Reward or Crust that cringes comes over and bends the most nimbly but that men by Illegal and Irrational Capricio's should cherish their hopes so to become Favourites in the Church I do not understand it if I were as supple as the best I can only say as Cicero in his Declamation against Cataline Vivunt imó vivunt in senatum veniunt Oh tempora Oh mores It was a sad time when Father Peter or Madam Portsmouth chose Senators and that a poor Lad should find it out that the readiest Road to get into the Church or to the Steeple and Pinacle is to be like a young Setting-dog that first learns to stoop when he is bidden to nothing there 's hopes of him he 's coming on and may be a right Setting-dog in time and stoop to something CHAP. V. Of Bowing at the Name of Jesu THere is but one of these said Irregular and Illegal and Irrational Ceremonies afore-mentioned that have any colour of Law and that is the Canon for bowing at the Name Jesu but that Canon is nail'd by Scripture and Reason as well as by the Act of Uniformity which enacts great Penalties even Deprivation if any Ceremony monger obstinately persist in the Practise of any Ceremonies except those alone that are contained in the Common-Prayer-Bock of which that same of bowing at the Name of Joshua or Jesu and all their other Bowings and Cringes to the Altar to the East are none at all I protest I wonder at the Ceremony mongers Audacity and Fool-hardness that he still dare to do it in defiance of the Law Reason and Scripture except he think to set the Convocation-House over and above and on the Top of the Parliament-House where it will stand most Totteringly and subject to the Storms Let no man therefore think this Discourse to be bold or over-hold having the Law of God and Man Holy Scriptures and right Reason on my side and can therefore with such great Advantages baffle them all wonder rather at my incorrigible Ceremony-monger that will take no warning till he be forc'd publickly to recant the Schisms and Mischiefs his Noddle has forc'd in the Church of God. The strength of his Mai-Guards like that of Hell and Popery lies all in stopping the several Avenues of Light that none may enter into the Kingdom of Darkness for they hate the Light because their Deeds are Evil and therefore would if they could keep the Keys of the Press doors as well as the Pulpit doors that no glimmering may appear without License Thus the Devil Rages the more because his time is short and Frets and Fumes when you discover his Cloven-Foot especially when he has long been ador'd of which he is most Ambitious as an Angel of Light But Blessed be God that is above the Devil Truth and Light are his Glorious Attributes as Error and Darkness are the properties of Heil And if the Devil were not great in men and greatly strong they would submit to Law and Reason to God and his Holy Writ to the Laws of the Land. Equity and Conscience and not call to the Bevil and the Goaler to help them to wreek their Malice upon Innocent men that only show them their dirty Faces in a Glass God's Will be done I say with Chrysostome to Eudoxia the Empress I fear nothing but Sin and I must Sin except I reprove my Brethren and not suffer Sin upon them for as they have Sinn'd before all 't is sit they should Recant before all And so all of them will except they be past shame and consequently past Grace When Sick Men are deadly Sick and their whole Constitution so Distemper'd and out of Frame that the very N●ble Parts are senseless stupid and past feeling 't is high time to Toll the Bell for them they have not long to live Come then give Glory to God Confess and Recant publickly in the Church where thy Nonsense was committed and defy the Devil and all his Works the Pomps and Vanitles of this wicked World. Oh! but may ●ome say It cannot be deny'd but that your Coremony-Monger is the Fop of all Fops for bowing to the Altar to the East now his Wafer-God is departed bu● have a care of condemning him when he bows at the Name of Jesu for Holy Scripture the Canon and Right Reason all three are his Vouchers Poor heares And as Solomon says Ye Fools when will ye be wise have not I wash● the●● ●●aok●mor●s and to as little purpose long ago For First That 〈◊〉 Philipptans the second At the Name of Jesu every knee shall bow woether in Heaven or Earth c. is no Precept but a Prophesie That the time shall come it is not yet come that the Name of Jesus shall 〈◊〉 above every Name whether Barchochobab the Jews Messias in English the Son of the Star Mehomet Antichrist or any other The th●e is not yet come for Jews Tu●ks Athlests and Devils do no● own the Name of Jesus above every Name whether in Heaven or Earth or Hell or things under the Earth but it shall come at least at the day o● Judgment and probably before Besides That Text At the Name of Jesus is depraved and ill 〈◊〉 to say no worse for if I did not revere to cast Dire upon the Ashe● of the Dead I could name a great Favourite-Bishop under King Charles the 〈◊〉 that made that Text speak false English to Countenance his ●illy and Fopplsh Warship from that Text for because he could not bring himself and his Silly Worship to the Scripture he as Impudently as Prophanely brought the Scripture to his Whimsey Thus Mahomet pretending to have Faith to remove Mountains told the People his Followers and Musselmen that he would make that great Mountain that stood before him to come down to him at his third Call and therefore most gravely admonished it to come Once Twice Thrice but no Mountain would come whereupon without changing Countenance he said If the Hill will not come to Mahomet Mahomet shall go to the Hi●l and so marcht till they met For by that Holy Scripture 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In the Name is meant In the vertue and power of J●us Every 〈◊〉 shall how c.
