do give a stop to the open and publick profession of the true Antient Catholick and Apostolick Faith as the Romanists bespatter and give out Nothing less It only discountenanceth the publick and open Profession of the Romish Tridentine Faith which in those Articles wherein they differ from the Protestants is neither True nor Antient nor Catholick but is an entire Apostasie from it and doubtless is the most Catholick and greatest Heresie in the Christian World A Religion that upon due examination and chioce no Man can embrace without reproaching his Maker and his Redeemer by renouncing his reason nay his very outward senses wherewith God hath endued him A Religion that by the same reason that they endeavour to justifie Transubstantiation I instance in this because I find more do wave the observance of the Act on the account of the Declaration and Subscription than of the Oaths therein a Man may as well believe every Hobby-horse to be a Barbe or Courser of Naples or the picture of every Bruit on a Sign-post to be really the Bruit it self Nay to doubt or deny that ever there was such a person as Jesus Christ upon Earth or that he or any of the Saints which slept did rise from the dead after him or that the Graves did open or that the Vail of the Temple was rent or that there was darkness over the whole Land from the sixth hour to the ninth c. I appeal to all the World if ever God declared either by word or practice that he would make use of artes praestigiariae Jugling Arts by deceptio sensuum or otherwise Nay hath not his practice ever been clearly contrary in all the Miracles that he or his Son ever wrought And the learnedst of the Romanists would infinitly oblige us if they would demonstrate unto us which of Christs Body it is that is Corporally in the Sacrament whether his glorified or not glorified Body and clear it of all the monstrous absurdities that opinion is guilty of The Antient Catholick and Apostolick Faith partakes not of their fopperies nor of their absurdities for their concealments and spunges are no better needs no captious reasonings no equivocations requires no implicit or blind faith or obedience uses no knaveries No no pure Religion and undefiled is of a better Brood of a more Noble Extract of a more Divine Origine The profession thereof joyned with Holiness and Righteousness ennobles every Soul scorns to obscure any Truths needs no prohibition of Gods Word no Indices expurgatorii hath superlative priviledges the greatest ornament any Sublunary Majesty can have scorns to use any indirect Artifices to Create Subtilities or Coyn Evasions to conceal or adulterate any of her Truths from ignorant or learned or to abuse any of our Senses as if we could not distinguish Bread from Stones or Fish from Serpents What have we from without us common to all Mankind so infallible as our Senses to cause Belief that Jesus Christ lived upon the Earth was Crucified Buried and Rose again The only Argument that Christ himself used to convince diffidert St. Thomas to Believe was by his own Senses of seeing and feeling John 20.25 27. And if the Senses of all Christians in all Countries have been deceived above these 1600. years since Christs death in one Point why may not we by the same reason question and suspect the Senses of all those that lived contemporary with him in more Points as whether any of these things were so or no. So happy I confess are the Papalins in their Disputes against Protestant Religion that many of their Arguments by retortion only are as strong against their own Religion and indeed as strong against all Religions as against ours Light is come into the World but these men love darkness rather than light And why because their Deeds are evil every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his Deeds should be discovered but he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God 3 John 19.20 21. Take but a short view but of Four of their Opinions that are so Diametrically contrary to Scripture that nothing but lowd and bawling Impudence can deny and in which the meanest capacity cannot be mistaken no not those Lucifugae Scripturarum that are only most blind not because they cannot but because they will not see nor yet understand though as directly opposite to Scripture as light to darkness truth to error God and Scripture GOd in the Second Commandment 20. Exod. forbids the very making of any graven Image or the likeness of any thing 2. Forbids the very Bowing down to them 3. He Commands them to take good heed unto themselves for that they saw no manner of Similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto them in Horeb out of the Fire lest they corrupted themselves and make a graven Image the similitude of any figure the likeness of male or female c. 4.15 16 17.4 He Cautionates them not to forget the Covenant he made with them viz. that they make not a graven Image or the likeness of any thing which the Lord the God had forbidden 5. He minds them that he was a Jealous God and would nothave his Glory imparted to another 6. He was a consuming fire able to revenge all disobediences 23.7 He curseth the very man that maketh any graven or molten Image an Abomination to the Lord Deut. 27.15 Pope and Popish Doctrine NOtwithstanding all these solemn Prohibitions and Reasons delivered so dreadfully on the Mount by God himself in Fire with Thunder and Lightning thick Clouds and Smoak so that the whole Mount quaked greatly Yet so Super-omnipotent is Dominus Deus vester Papa that he doth not only dare to leave this very Commandment out of the Decalogue but Commands even under Anathema's and practises the clean contrary And it is justified and averred to be constants Theologorum c. The constant judgment of Divines that the Image is to be honoured and worshipped with the same Honour and Worship wherewith it is worshiped whereof it is an Image●● Jor. Azor●●s the Jesuit Institut mor. tem 1. lib. 9. cap. 6. And Tho. Aquin. Concludes that the same reverence is to be given to the Image of Christ and to Christ himself and because Christ is to be Adored with Latria or Divine Worship that his Image is to be Adored with the Adoration of Latria Tho sum part 3. q. 25. Art 3. And Friar Pedro de Cabrera on that place Concludes 1. That it is simply and absolutely to be said that Images are to be worshipped in Churches and out of Churches and the contrary is an Heretical Doctrine 2.
