A19997	Tobacco tortured, or, The filthie fume of tobacco refined shewing all sorts of subiects, that the inward taking of tobacco fumes, is very pernicious vnto their bodies; too too profluuious for many of their purses; and most pestiferous to the publike state. Exemplified apparently by most fearefull effects: more especially, from their treacherous proiects about the Gun-powder Treason; from their rebellious attempts of late, about their preposterous disparking of certaine inclosures: as also, from sundry other their prodigious practices. ...

same translation And thirdly because in sundry other places of Scripture besides the same word gnasa vpon the like vrgent occasion by many most excellent and learned Linguists is ordinarily and vsually translated to aduance to extoll and to magnifie with a soueraigne dignitie dominion preheminence or princely power As in Deuteronomie thus Is not the Lord God thy Father that hath redeemed thee that hath magnified thee that hath proportioned thee And a little after thus He forsooke God that magnified him and regarded not the strong God of his saluation Also in Samuel thus It is the Lord that magnified Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt Also in Isaiah thus Euery one shall be called by my name saith the Lord for I created him I formed him I magnified him And againe in another place thus I the same euen I will beare you vntill the hoare haires I haue magnified you I will also beare you I will carrie you and I will deliuer you Where also he vseth the like elegant gradation though in different termes to that which he spake of before Now then sith such excellent Linguists notwithstanding the forenamed opposition in some of our Latine and English Bibles haue thus vpon vrgent occasion from those the former propounded Scriptures of very purpose translated the word gnasa not made but magnified rather according to the naturall signification thereof why may not I Capnistus vpon a like vrgent occasion from the text it selfe translate the word gnasa put downe in Genesis not made but magnified man in the image of God notwithstanding any thy pretended opposition in the forenamed Bibles Capn. Surely Sir I sée no reason at all why the like lawfull libertie herein may not vpon equall occasion be vsed by you which was formerly vsed of others yea and so much the rather by how much the sence which your selfe haue giuen concerning this portion of Scripture is thereby made so apparently euident to each mans apprehension as that I for mine owne part am presently constrained to crie out and say thus Oh great is the truth must néeds preuaile Hydr. If any besides they selfe do yet seeme scrupulous concerning this sence of the place I do here purposely referre him for further satisfaction herein to that the authenticall interpretation thereof which our Sauiour himselfe and the holy spirit of God vpon iust occasion haue authentically put downe saying thus vnto Peter and all other whatsoeuer being onely but persons of priuate regard Put vp thy sword into his place for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword Wherein our Sauiour Christ doth make no restraint of the Magistrate his lawfull authoritie in the vse of the sword but only inhibites an ●surped authoritie or a lawlesse abuse thereof And therefore these words in Mathew hoilabóntes that is all that take the sword would rather be translated saith Beza thus omnes vsurpantes that is euery one vsurping the sword shall perish with the sword Yea and so the Hebrew word nasa saith he whereunto answereth the Greeke word tò lambánein is eftsoones obserued in the sacred Scriptures And in very deede those men they may iustly be said to take that is to vsurpe the sword to whom the same is not purposely giuen by the Lord himselfe or who do abuse the said sword beyond the appointed limits and bounds of their proper calling As did Peter there and as all others before the law written should vndoubtedly haue done had not the Almightie law-giuer in that ninth of Genesis authentically enabled their persons to take iust reuenge vpon any the outragious spiller of innocent bloud Thus then I hope the Magistrates authoritie concerning such a sanctified vse of the sword was sufficiently established among the old Patriarkes euen by that selfesame legall decree which the Almightie concluded there with Noah and the rest immediatly after the floud Wherein also I haue laboured the matter so much the more by how much I would not willingly without very apparent reason be said to dissent from so worthie reuerend a man concerning the true and naturall sence of that portion of Scripture as also to let thy selfe and the rest perceiue that his Maiesties power so authentically suppressing those our rebellious Tobacconists was no waies made guiltie of shedding their bloud Capn. The truth thereof is so apparently euident as I thinke all men but such as are purposely blind will fréely acknowledge the same But yet Sir they and their vnderhand fauourites do excéedingly wonder that so many poore soules should be put to the sword being al English men borne and bred in our countrey Hydrophorus How many thinkest thou were put to the sword Capn. I do not certainely know the number my selfe but y e report goeth currantly in many mens mouthes that there were fouretéene score slaine and hurt at the least Hydr. What maruell is it though such a false report ran currantly among that disordered companie sith their words seemed softer then butter when not withstanding there was war in their hearts seeing their speech appeared more smooth ●hen oyle when as yet they imagined nothing but mischiefe being not vnlike to a very sharpe razour which cutteth so deceitefully as hardly a man may perceiue the same But oh impudent mouthes which are no whit ashamed vnder a falsely pretended couerture of foureteene score persons to shilter foureteene score lies and foure at the least for there were not slaine aboue sixteene persons at most Notwithstanding behold here the bad disposition of those our monstrous Minotaures For as they had desperately laid their bloud●e hands before vpon such as were soundly at peace with euery of them and broken the holy couenant of their dutifull subiection to his Maiesties power so surely to hide the horrour of that their horrible enterprice they are not now ashamed to make knowne to the world that they do rather loue euill then that which is good and do take a far greater delight to broach abroade lies then to vtter the truth of the matter Capn. But yet Sir notwithstanding all this they do boldly affirme that a most barbarous crueltie was shelved vpon sillie poore women and children one woman being sauagely killed with two young babes in her wombe another runne bloudily through with a speare the one end thereof sticking fast in the ground and the other end being pitifully shattered on péeces in her harmelesse sides also vpon old men women and children being but weeding their corne in the fields and lastly vpon poore passengers likewise that did but trauell by the way Hydr. It seemeth rather by the purport of thy speech that a most barbarous villanie is vsed against his Maiesties souldiers by these most barbarous and sauage reports Howbeit it now plainly appeares that these barbarous Cannibals can do nothing else but vse their bad tongues to deceipt that they

in the image of God hath he made man they were not put downe there for any such supposed confirmation of the magistrate his subordinate power as your selfe do séeme to affirme but as an amplification rather to aggrauate the sinne of such murder committed telling the murderer thus that not onely he hath bene most iniurious to the man whom he murdered but that also the Lord his supereminent Maiestie is mightily wronged thereby because his owne image in man by such an outragious murder is most monstrously mangled marred and in a manner defaced Hydr. Although this which those men affirme be in it owne selfe such a sanctified truth as proportionably consorteth with the analogie of faith yet is it not truly collected I verily thinke from that portion of Scripture if we more strictly consider the same according to the maine purpose of the Almightie himselfe Because these words the image of God they haue not any such reference there to the murdered man but rather to the magistrate himselfe so seuerely reuenging the murder committed The Lord very plainly declaring therby that not onely a iust reuenge must seuerely be executed vpon the outragious murderers but that also the said reuenge must onely be orderly vndertaken by a man authentically endued with the authoritie of God Yea and this sence of the place may yet more euidently breake forth to euery mans apprehension if we aduisedly consider first the seuerall significations of the image of God and then next if we examine more strictly the word gnasa it selfe put downe in the forenamed text Capn. Shew me first I beséech you the seuerall significations of the image of God Hydr. Touching the seuerall significations of that selfe-same image so frequent and ordinary in sacred Scriptures we haue here to obserue that a man is said to be made according to the image of God in a threefold respect namely first respecting the nature of his soule the same being a spirituall essence immortall eternall inuisible and very significantly resembling the immortalitie eternitie and inuisibilitie of his Lord and Creatour And in an especiall regard hereof each man so created is fitly called a liuing soule Secondly a man is not vnaptly said to be created also according to the image of God in an onely respect of the essentiall qualities of that his said soule namely righteousnesse and holinesse because man also was therein accordingly created after the image of God And thirdly a man may very well be said to be created also in the image of God in a more speciall respect of the holy attributes thereof bestowed vpon him namely dominion dignitie and glorie because man also himselfe euen by a more speciall dispensation from God obtained from God a most princely soueraigntie ouer all the inferiour creatures as also more specially concerning mankind Capn. This Sir I confesse is maruellous strange and more then euer I heard But what do you inferre from this thréefold signification of the image of God Hydr. Euen that which notably tendeth to the timely confirmation of our purpose concerning the true ●ence of this text For we may not in any wise vnderstand this portion of Scripture according to that primarie signification of the image of God namely according to the spirituall essence immortalitie eternitie and inuisibilitie of mans soule because therein the soule of man was made immortall and the Lord speaketh here precisely of that image of God in man wherin mans bloud may be spilt which cannot properly be said concerning mans soule Neither may we vnderstand this portion of Scripture according to that secondarie signification of the said image of God namely according to the essentiall qualities of that selfesame soule I meane true righteousnesse and holinesse because those the essential qualities appertaining to the soule of man as they were vtterly lost in our forefather Adam so surely being now eternally restored to a man in Christ they are no way subiected to any such outragious spilling of bloud And therefore we must necessarily vnderstand this making of man in the image of God according to the third signification of the image of God namely according to that diuine dominion power or soueraignetie which by y e speciall dispensation of God is more especially designed to some such speciall persons as are by his absolute authoritie to take a iust reuenge vpon all malefactours Capn. Surely Sir this thréefold signification of the image of God doth shew forth the true sence of that text by sundry degrées like the day-dawne in the morning But how may this sence be yet further confirmed from a more strict examination of the word gnasa put downe in that text Hydr. Exceedingly wel Because the word gnasa which is there translated made it may not properly be referred to that speciall worke of creation wherein Adam was primarily or secondarily made according to the said image of God concerning either the essentiall being or the essentiall qualities of that his said soule which are no way subiected to any such outragious spilling of bloud and therefore it cannot bee rightly referred to either of them Capn. Oh yes Sir maruellous fitly especially if the word gnasa be vsed indifferently for that thréefold signification of the image of God Hydr. It were certainly true as thou sayest if the word gnasa indeede were vsed indifferently for euery of those seuerall significations of the said image of God And therefore we haue here now to consider afresh that as the holy Ghost hath purposely distinguished those seuerall significations of the image of God the one from the other so hath he precisely obserued three seuerall words in the originall tongue to set forth the different degrees of those the said actions of God according to their different conditions Capn. What are those thrée seuerall words I beséech you Hydr. The first word is bara that is to create or to make and more properly it betokeneth the bringing out of something without any matter at all preexisting in nature And euen so accordingly this word bara it is vsed sometimes for creation sometimes againe for procreation or the bringing of one thing from out of another and sometimes also for recreation or making againe because euery of these three seuerall actions there appeareth a wonderfull inherent power in God who worketh whatsoeuer pleaseth himselfe in heauen and earth and calleth those things which are not as though they were Secondly the Lord sometimes vseth the word sarath which properly and naturally signifieth to burne vp to boyle to melt mettall to trie forth by fire and so metaphorically to trie out the children of men to search through their hearts and their waies also sometimes if signifieth to to forme or to fashion a thing and to bring it vnto that exact and absolute condition which doth proportionably consent with the primarie patterne thereof And thirdly the Lord sometime
