A just and necessary APOLOGY AGAINST An unjust Invective Published by Mr Henry Burton in a late Book of his entituled TRVTH STILL TRVTH THOVGH Shut out of doors By Edmund Calamy B.D. and Pastour of Aldermanbury EXOD. 20. Thou shalt not bear false witnesse against thy neighbour MAT. 5.22 But I say unto you that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement and whosoever shall say unto his brother Racha shall be in danger of the Councel but whosoever shall say Thou fool shall be in danger of hell fire LONDON Printed for Christopher Meredith at the sign of the Crane in Pauls Church-yard 1646. TRVTH No longer TRUTH but turned into Gall and Wormwood OR An ANSWER to a late Pamphlet written by M. Burton and entituled Truth still Truth though shut out of Doors IT was the law of the Areopagite Judges that those that pleaded before them should plead without prefacing and without passion M. Burton quite contrary to this law first begins with a Preface and then writes a book so full of passion as that whosoever reads it will acknowledge that at least when he wrote it he was not only {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} as he confesseth of himself pa. 2. but if I may invent a word to expresse that which cannot be expressed by any word now in use {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} a man not only of like passions with others but made up all of passion and that whosoever will contend with him shall be loaded with dirt rather then with arguments and forced not so much to answer Objections as to wipe off aspersions For my part I will not defile my self nor my answer with reckoning up all the opprobries and calumnies that are cast upon me not only collaterally and obliquely as the supposed pen-man of the Pamphlet as he cals it to which he frames his Reply but directly and by name Only I crave leave to present this true but short character of his book His words are swords and spears rather then words He fights with his heels rather then with his head and kicks rather then argues and whips rather then answers Scarce any man since Montagues Appeal hath written with more bitternesse I may say of him as D. Rivet doth of Bishop Montague This man cannot mention a man from whom be differs though but in sleight matters without a reproach And as Plato said to Diogenes when he trod upon the pride of Plato Thou treadest upon my pride with greater pride So doth M. Burton tread upon me and whatsoever is blame worthy in me with a pride more then Episcopall And surely if to be railed upon and reviled be sufficient to bring a man into discredit then must I be esteemed as {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} as the dung off-scouring and filth of the world But to all his bitter invectives I will return the same answer that Austin did who when he was told that his adversary was too hard for him in railing he said It was an easie thing that way to conquer Austin but the Reader should perceive it was Clamore non veritate by loud crying not by truth And what Hierom said against Helvidius Arbitror te verita●e convictum ad maledicta converti It is a sign of a man not able to stand before the truth when he betakes himself to reproachfull language Non eget veritas Mauri jaculis nec arcu Non taliclypeo non defensoribus isti● Neither is it my purpose to meddle with the controversie between M. Burton and Aldermanbury I say between M. Burton and Aldermanbury For though M. Burton saith That his quarrell is only with four men in Aldermanbury yet if the Reader will lose so much time as to look into his Narrative he will finde that he cals upon all Aldermanbury to be ashamed and confounded for shutting him out of doors as he phraseth it But I will not make this quarrell mine For as I was never thought worthy by M. Burton to be desired to give leave to his first admission so also I was not at all made acquainted with his dismission and therefore am not at all concerned in the businesse And although I shall be willing to open not only the doors of the Church but the door of my heart in admitting M. Burton in a brotherly and Christian compliance yet notwithstanding I shall for ever shut the door of my lips from speaking any more about t●is controversie And the rather because that whereas in the book to which he answers there are these words And that all men may be fully convinced of Aldermanburies love and good affection towards M. Burton we doe here professe to all that read these lines That if M. Burton will be pleased to forbear preaching his Congregationall way amongst us and preach such things wherein both sides agree we will re-admit him with all readinesse and cheerfulnesse and will promise to endeavour upon all occasions to come and hear him which offer if M. Burton refuseth let the worldjudge whether M. Burton shuts himself or be shut-out of the Church-doors of Aldermanbury To this friendly invitement he answers not a word which makes me for ever despair of his brotherly correspondency with us in our Churches And truly if M. Burton will not only refuse to take a Pastorall charge in our Congregations but condemneth our Churches as having inseparable corruptions in them for so he saith p. 13. and repeats it twice I say inseparable till the very frame of them be made new wherein he sideth directly with the Brownis● and denieth our Churches to be true Churches as wanting a right foundation and constitution pag. 14. in which I am assured our dissenting Brethren will be dissenting Brethren from him also and refuseth to give us the right hand of fellowship as it is p. 13. and saith That people cannot with a safe conscience communicate with us as it is p. 23. nor acknowledge our Ministers to be their Pastours truly as it is p. 23. and will not forbear to preach those dangerous errours in our Churches no wonder that any conscientious Presbyterian should be shie of admitting him to preach to their people Neither is it my design to answer this book of 33. pages in all the particulars Nam quis leget hac As one said to a Philosopher that in a great tempest at sea fell a asking many trifling Questions Are we perishing and dost thou trifle So say I to M. Burton Is the Ship of England a sinking and are there truths of the highest concernment now in agitation and shall I stand trifling away my precious time in long replies I cannot do this if I would neither would I if I could And besides this Truth is now grown stale and threed-bare especially to this new-truth-itching age and by this last book is so drowned in Gall and Wormwood as that it may well lose it's name
