to the accepting of grace in the article of conversion is hereticall in so far as it is contradictorie to the sayings of the Apostle Who hath separate thee what hast thou that thou hast not received A likewise It is not the runner nor the witter but God that showeth mercie Lastly the Romanists prove hereticall in the cooperation of mans will with grace giving unto it not only a proper working by it selt but also the first place setting God beside the coushen in the second roome which hath a flat opposition to the Apostles words I dare not faith he speak of any thing which Christ hath not worught by mee to make the Gentiles obedient in word and deed As also that every good gift and perfect donation is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights I may joine to the ro●mer heresies these of the Semip●lagians of Massilia touching conditionall predeltination and free will mentioned by Prosper and Hilarius to Augustine which are now refined by the Jesuits and goe most curient in the Romane church as best coine to be layed up in the treasurie of mans merits and rightreousnesse The meanest of these foresaids heresies against faith are of greater moment then the old heresies of the Quartodecimani c. recorded by 〈◊〉 Epiphanius and Augustine Neither have these pes●●erous weeds of heresies spread their roots to the suppression of Faith but also to the destruction of the law Teach they not that divine worship is to bee given to creatures against the first Commandment images to bee worshipped against the second and dispensation with perjuries against the third Saints dayes are among them in greater estimation then the Lords day contrare to the fourth commandement they liberate children from obedience to parents and Subjects from the oath of Alleadgance to their native Princes against the fift They yoak Christian Princes in bloodie wars and persecute the Saints of GOD to death contrare to the sixt They allow incestuous marriages and tolerat stewes prohibite in the seventh they transferre Kingdomes and Empires at their arbitrement being a great injustice contrare to the eight they tolerat lies equivocations and mentall reservations prohibite in the ninth and lastly they deny concupisence to be formally sin after baptisme as if in any article of time it might be said of man that he is without all sin Since then this Romish Babylon is so fraughted with heresies let us all obey the voice of God from heaven and come out of her least being partakers of her sins we receive of her plagues If it be demanded when and how these errours came in and what was the cause that being so grosse and palpable they get such acceptance of the learned I answere that many errours and a-abuses have creept in into the Romane church even of late since the reformation began by the Valdenses As that superstitious festivitie of the forged transubstantiat bread into the body of Christ jubilees depriving the laicks of the cup erecting of images in resemblance of the blessed Trinitie schoole divinitie more Aristotelian then Scriptur●li diverse orders of begging Monks Jesuites and others bowing at the name of Jesus and now lastly Pelagianisme doth prevaile so far in the doctrine of election conversion and freewill that GODS grace is made a subservient cause to nature and the immaculate and pure conception of the blessed Virgine without originall sin against reason and Scripture is now almost universally maintained These I say are the late cockle and dornell that have sprung up sowne by that ill One since the light of reformation so that the light of GODS word hath beene to them as the Sun to the clay to harden them more and more As to the errours before the reformation though they pretend antiquitie it shall be found that some of them were unknown to the church for many hundred years and the most ancient of them hath nothing but an humaine antiquitie which being compared with Divine antiquitie is but a meer noveltie Where was that doctrine of prayer for the dead in the dayes of Irenaeus who lived in the 180. year of God and some others about these times and long after who thought the souls to rest in subterranean places till the last Judgement Where was the antiquitie of worshipping the Crosse when Minucius Felix who flourished in the 206. year of God averreth in the person of Octavius his dialogist that Christians did neither wish nor worship crosses Where was images in the church when they were condemned in the councel holden at Eliberis And Epiphanius who lived in the 370 year of God seeing a vail haying in it the Picture of Christ or some saint as hee sayeth hung without the door of the temple of Anablet●a moved with an holy indignation did cut the same in twaine which doing is approven by Hierome Was the worship of Angels received in the church when the councill of Laodicea did prohibit the same and Theodoret who lived in the 430. year of God in his commentar upon the 2 Col●ss condemneth it likewise Doeth not Gregorie bishop of Rome about the 600 yeare of God writing to Serenus bisop of Marsilia condemne the worship of images Was the Saints worshipped in the church when Augustine who was in the 420. year of God in his book de verarelig affirmeth that they did honour the saints with charitie and with noworship And in his 22. book of the Citie of God We name the Saints saith he when wee pray but we do not pray to them Was not these books which now the Romane church accounteth to be Canonick Scripture esteemed to be Apocryph in the councell of Laodicca and by Hierome in his prologue called Gal●atus and by the Christian church in these dayes Was the imputation of Christs righteousnesse unknowne to the Ancient church when Augustine in his Enchiridian ad Laurentium clearely averreth the same as also Bernard in the larter dayes Was the title and power of Oecumenick or universall bishop received and approved in the church of Christ when Gregorie the great did averre that whosoever did assume that style was either the Antichrist or the fore●unn●r of the Antichrist Or was the supremacie of the Pope over the church acknowledged when Polycrates with the rest of the eastern bishops did resist Victor bishop of Ro●e The holy Martyr Cyprian did resist St●phanus and Corn●lius both bishops of Rome And the bishops of Africk in the Milevitan councell whereat Augustine was present did inhibite all transmarine appellations to the Sea of Rome Was the doctrine of the substantiall changing of the bread in the body of Christ nothing remaining of the bread but naked accidents received and approved when Theodoret plainly affirmeth that the bread doth abide in its substance unchanged The same doeth Gelasius bishop of Rome after him Bertrame and Scotus one of their chiefe schoolemen testisyeth lib.
