A78119	A declaration and vindication of the carriage of Edward Barber, at the parish meeting house of Benetfinck London Fryday the 14. of July 1648. after the morning exercise of Mr Callamy was ended, wherein the pride of the ministers, and Babylonish or confused carriage of the hearers is laid down. As also the false aspersions cast npon [sic] him, he doing nothing but what was according to the primitive institution, and is & ought to be in the best reformed churches according to the protestation and covenant. By E.B. freeman of England, and citizen and marchant-Taylor of London.	Barber, Edward, d. 1674?	1648 (1648)	Wing B693; Thomason E458_8; ESTC R205029	8,814	8

this tumultuous manner to my own house much abusing me thronging about the doore as they of Sodom did to Lots Gen. 19. 9. Mr. Callamy and the rest never shewing so much ayde or humanity as Gamaliel Acts 5. 34. 35. or the Captain of the band that rescued Paul from the rude multitude Acts 21. 30 31 c. they shewing more wisdom and morality then any of these did though at lest ●o in number but I confesse your condition being like Demetrius and the rest that made silver shrines for Diana at this time ingreat danger I canno● blame ye to looke about you for if the liberty of the Gospell be obtained your Kingdom will fall like Dagon before the Arke to the ground Whereupon you not giving the least liberty of the Gospel of Christ I could not but protest against that Antichristian practise and told them that as they and their tribe had bin the stirers up of the people of the Kingdom to these unnaturall and bloudy wars yet pretend they are the Ministers of Christ and all the members of their Church Christians though they thus kill one another their practise being like Ahabs Prophets 1 King 22. 22. And those uncleane Spirits like Fr●ggs as Revelation 16. 13 being confident that these wars will never be ended nor a wel grounded Peace setled till they as well as their Fathers be discovered and the Kingdome of Antichrist Root and Branch destroyed As Mat. 15. 13. they being Plants nev●r planted by Christs 〈…〉 Now I beseech all rationall men to consider whether Paul made the ●proar Act. 19 or Demetrius and his silver shrine-makers and the rude multitude Act. 20. 1. and 21. 38. and so for the Assembly And inasmuch as Mr. Calamy Mr. Cranford Mr. Cawton Mr. Cace Dr. Burges Mr. Love c. have often since the Parliament before them and others much envied and Railed against Sectaries Schismaticks Anabaptists and never by the wordshewing who they are much lesse confuting them but in grosse as their Fathers against the Calnenists Lutherens Zwinliant Protestants and Presbyterians c. Although they I believe practised according to their light in those dark times we according to the institutions of Christ and premitive practice but they passe all over in grosse never opening the tearmes much lesse confuting of it by the word looking upon it as a great sinne that any should question what they deliver though never so false but take all they deliver as an oracle by which their doings they sowe the very seed of division hatred persecution blood shed as much as in them lyes contrarie to the Doctrine practice of all the Ministers of the Gospel of Christ But how God hath answered their plottings and underminings with Judgments I would the State and all men would take notice of as when you have gotten Ordinances Saul like Acts 9. 1. for the punishing by imprisoning of people for Conscience thereby intrenching upon the prerogative royall of King Jesus then immediately God hath sent some eminent trouble to the State and Kingdom as hath been noted by divers c. And where as some old men and women in the Assembly out of their ignorant zeal would have had me gone home in private to Mr. Calamy to be satisfyed let them know that I am satisfyed already that they are all of them the Ministers of Antichrist and seeke as to uphold his Kingdom so to keepe the people still in ignorance as it was said of Israel so it may be said of them Isai 9. 14 15 16. Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and taile branch and rush in one day The ancient and honourable he is the head and the prophet that teacheth li●● he ●● the taile For the leaders of this people cause them to ●rr● and they that are led of them are destroyed And therefore as the Apostle exhorts Tim. 1. 5. 20. that those that sin are to be rebuked before all that others also may fear Now if this be not a sin to cause men to sweare with their hands lift up to the most high God protesting and covenanting against all Popery and Popish Innovasions and without respect of persons to endeavour the extirpation of Poperie and Prelacy that is Church-Government by Arch-Bishops Bishops their Chancellers and Commissaries Deanes and Chapters Arch decons all other Ecclesiastical Officers depending upon that hirarchy c. now if not to perform this by such as have sworn it be not perjury I know not what is and Eceles 5. 4 5. Solomon saith when thou vowest a vow unto God deferre not to pay it for he hath no pleasure in foo●es pay that which thou hast vowed Better is it that thou shouldest not vow then that thou shouldest vow and not pay Now whether Mr. Calamy with the rest of them that received their Ordination from the Bishops who ha● their Ordination from Rome formerly prayed for them as their right reverend and reverend Fathers wearing their Surplus having Altars at their Comm●nds and cringing to them c. be not depending on that hitarchy I leave to every understanding experienced protestor and Covenanter to judge seeing it is said Iobe 14. 4 who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean not one and Dr. Burges before the Committee confest that the Bishops were as truly Antichristian as Gods word was Gods word Although 400l per Annum of the same meaner and the Dean of Paules his house in his account be not but could swallow greater things then these I shall now declare what I would have then said had they given me liberty which he so much spoke of from Exod 17. 5. 11. And 1. we are to consider what Moses that Messenger of the Lord that ruler and deliverer of the Isralites that tipe of Christ was to wit a poor mechanick Sheapheard yet learned in all the wisdom of the Egiptions and refusing to be called the Sonne of Pharoahs Daughter chusing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God then to enjoy the pleasure of sinne for a season c. Paul-like Phil. 3. 7. 8. counting those things that were gain to him losse for Christ 2. He being a Sheapheard endeavored to get his own bread laboring with his own hands and not only with the brain as some now pretends getting into rich men and womens houses that so their feete being under their Tables thereby to uphold themselves in their Idlenesse contrary to the Apostles Doctrine and practice Acts 20. 34. Thes 2. 3. 6. 7. 8. 3. This Rod of Moses tipisied or held forth that B●nner or Ensigne of Gods love Jesus the Anointed as Isa 32. 1. Behold a King shall raign in righteousnesse with Acts 2. 36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified both Lord and Christ and not only King but Priest and Prophet and where Christ is not thus received in his offices but devided he becomes
