A67324	More work for the dean in a brief answer to some scandalous reports published by Dr. Stillingfleet in his book entituled, \"An impartial account of the history, nature and pleas of the present separation from the communion of the Church of England\" against some of the Lords faithful servants, namely, Mr. Henry Barrow, Mr. John Greenwood, Mr. John Penry, who by the bishops means, after long imprisonment, were put to death, contrary to Queen Elizabeths mind; in the year 1593 ... : as likewise here is word for word the petition of those persecuted Christians, wherein is shewed the barbarous usage of the bishops to them : together with the refutation of the then esteemed Bishop of Winchester's blasphemous doctrine, by Mr. Henry Barrow, with the description of the true Church of God, according to Christs Testament, by the whole Church at London, whom the doctor calleth Brownists; with the reason why they were so nick-named by their enemies : very needful for all true Protestants to know / by Thomas Wall.

I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies Jer. 11. 15. and 12. 7. For their inventions have I cast them out of my house Hosea 9. 5. and have abhorred the excellency of Jacob and hate all his palaces Amos 6. 8. for the Lord is of purer eyes than to have fellowship with the throne of iniquity he hath chosen Zion for his dwelling Psal 132. 13 14. Heb. 12. 22. Rev. 14. 1. his way is holy in all the parts of his service so that the polluted must not knowingly dwell there Isa 35. 8. because they defile the holy things of God Lev. 22 3. therefore God will be sanctified in all that draw near to him in his Lev. 10. 3. for as much as holiness becometh his house for ever Psal 93. 5. Now if the Doctor cannot see these things and what a confusion there is which hath caused a great many to separate from his Church for want of Gods Order in it let him not despise counsel seeing he that refuseth instruction despiseth his own Soul Prov. 15. 32. And lastly Seeing we are fallen into the last and perilous times what man of them that hath any thing in him of the Spirit of a Christian but would make it his greatest work to use the uttermost of his endeavours to unite the hearts of one Protestant to another in the many difference in point of Religion that so as brethren they may withstand the common Enemy even Gog and Magog the Turk and Papists the last enemies of Gods people who like unto the apostate and heathen Nations Psal 8. say Come let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of Israel may be had no more in remembrance And is not this the signs of the times when the Turk and Papist are by sea and land compassing the camp of the Saints about in number like the Canaanites Army Joshua 11. 4. as the sand on the shore whom God may suffer to prevail for the sins of his people until he hath refin'd them through the fire of affliction Zach. 13. 9. so melting the drofs from the silver yet in the end the rod shall be broken Isa 10. 5 24 25. Psal 125. 3. that so they that lead into captivity shall go into captivity and they that kill with the sword shall be killed with the sword Rev. 13. 10. and be mad with sorrow enough to say with that Heathen King Adonibezeck who caused threescore and ten Kings to gather meat under his Table having their right thumbs and toes cut off As I have done God hvth requited me Judg. 1. 7. If not this way because the time draweth nigh of Christs coming to judgment then fire shall come down from heaven and devour them Rev. 20. 9. yea so shall Christ come in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Thes 1. 8 9 10. in the mean time let all persecutors read their portion Matt. 25. 41. Rev. 14. 9 10 11. and 19. 20. and 21. 8. And lastly If this way of plain dealing liketh not the Doctor I cannot help it for with Elihu I have learned not to flatter Job 32. 22. nor as some men desire to be smoothed in their sinful ways Isa 30. 10. but as the wise man saith open rebuke is better than secret love Prov. 27. 5. for who could sleep silent to see his brethren that are now at rest in the Lord desamed when as the Lord saith the memory of the just is blessed Prov. 10. 7. and they shall be had in everlasting remembrance Psal 112. 6. whose labours shine in the world as a comfort to the Lords people when revived though the same be a terror to their enemies as is seen in the Doctor and such like John speaketh of to see more Seths raised up to maintain the faith faithful Abels dyed for Rev. 16. 11. Ezek. 37. Rev. 20. 5. Now the Lord in his infinite mercy bless this small mite cast into the Treasury of all the Lords true Protestant people and also to the Doctor do I desire it may be for his everlasting comfort that so the Lord may have the glory honour and praise in and through our Lord Jesus Christ Amen FINIS

worship as aforesaid which the Doctor doth not obediently believe so long as he retaineth the Popish Office of a Dean for one of Christs Gospel-Ministers as though Christ was not wise enough to give Titles fit for his Ministers But as we read of the Romish Church that woman which sitteth upon a sear let coloured beast full of the names of blasphemy this name Dean proceeding from thence may be reckoned among them Rev. 13. 1. 17. 3. And lastly as every true Christian must not only believe that Christ is the Son of God come in the flesh but also they must walk in him rooted and established following Christ by the example of the Primitive Churches commended in them As when Israel had gone from the pure keeping in worship to God his Ordinances and the Cove-Hant Mal. 2. 8. of Levi the call of the Lord to them to reform their ways by the prophet Malachi was to remember the Law of Moses and not Mal. 4. 4. the Tradition or Canons of men and until this was done they that feared the Lord had separated from them and spake often one to another and a book of remembrance was Isa 42. 4. written for them that thought on his Name even his Law and partook not in the evil of the transgressors Even so when after the long Mat. 12. 21. Apostacy of Christians the Lord called them to come out of Babylon and to reform their Rev. 18. 4. ways but not by the Canons of men but by the everlasting Gospel taught by the Servants of God in King Edward Queen Elizazabeth King James and in King Charles the 1st and 2d to this day and until this work be done all that fear the Lord do separate themselves and speak often one to another for which they are and were still persecuted reproached and defamed but by whom but by the Devil called the Dragon and Serpent Rev. 2. 10. in his servants out of whose mouths comes floods of teproaches to destroy the woman Rev. 12. 15. had not the earth then and still doth by more than an ordinary Providence help the woman in drinking up or rather hindering the work Verse 16. of persecution Thus hoping the Doctor will lay these things to heart and who knoweth seeing among Adams Sons some men for their malice and fury are compared to Lions 2 Tim. 4. 17. but God in his mercy may give him grace to the changing of his fierce nature If the Lord by the Arrows of his Truth prick his heart Psal 45. 5. Acts 2. 37. Heb. 4. 12. that so he may yield obedience to Christ Jesus and lie down with the Lambs in the Lords holy Mountain even Sion his true Church Isa 11. 7. Heb. 12. 22. where it is said the Lords people shall be all Righteous Isa 60. wise as Serpents harmless as Doves men in understanding children in malice 1 Cor. 14. for such only can have right to enter into the Kingdom of God Mat. 18. 3. that so he may for the time to come see himself in the glass of Gods word new born all his fleshly glory and honour fading away by the Spirit of God blowing on him so shall he beat his sword of bitter words into plough-sheares that by the word of God the fallow ground of his uncircumcised heart be broken up the seed of Gods truth sowed therein watred by the heavenly dew of his grace that he may bring forth the fruits of righteousness Jam. 3. 18. Heb. 12. 14. which is peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the face of God which is and shall be the prayers for the very enemies of him who is the Lords unworthy servant Tho. Wall More Work FOR THE DEAN Or A brief ANSWER To some Scandalous Reports published by Dr. Stillingfleet c. THerefore among the many sore Travels King Solomon beheld among the Sons of men this saith he is one That for every right work a man is envied of his neighbour Eccles 4. 4. Psal 106. 16. Numb 11. 29. Matt. 26. 7 8 9 10. Now if that were a right work in the Lords Servants of old in calling the Lords people out of the temporal Babylon to separate themselves from all the filthiness of those Heathens Ezra 6. 21. that they might enter into Covenant with the Lord to serve or worship him as he had given commandment by the hand of Mose's both in Ministry Ordinances and Order for which work they were envied of their Neighbours Nehem. 4 and 5 Chapters even so it was a-like right work in these latter days for the Lords Servants to call his elected ones out of the Romish Sodomy Egyptian and Spiritual Babylon Rev. 11. 8. and 18. 4. that they might separate themselves from their abominable filthiness in worship and nature that so with the Lord they might enter into the Covenant of the Gospel Acts 2. 47. 2 Cor. 11. 2. Isa 62. 5. Ezek. 16 8. to worship him as the Son of God Christ Jesus had appointed in his last Will and Testament both in Ministry Ordinances Time and Order and for this right work among others was Mr. Barrow Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Penry envied then to death by their Neighbours and now again after their death envied by Dr. Stillingfleet to the desamation of the memory Prov. 10. 7. of those whom God had blessed and are now at rest in the Lord Rev. 14. 13. 2dly The evil way this Doctor hath taken to vent his envy against these Servants of God is first in calling their Books seditious and therefore because he could not prove it he is driven to make use of the false reports of their Enemies such as never disclaimed against the succession of their Ministry received from the Bishops nor yet their vain School Titles of Batchelor in Divinity a Title not found in Christs Testament set in the front of that Book called the Bloody Tenet out of which Book the Doctor tells us that Mr. Cotton said Mr. Dod told him that when Mr. Barrow was under the Gibbet he lift up his eyes and said If I be deceived thou hast deceived me To which I answer If Mr. Barrow did say those words it might be draw̄n from him upon the same occasion the like words were drawn from the Prophet Jeremiah when the Priests and false Prophets seeing his constancy and faithfulness in the Lords message against their evil doings Jer. 20. 8 10. derided him which occasioned him to say O Lord thou hast deceived me and I was deceived thou art stronger than I and hast prevailed I am in derision dayly every one mocketh me Even so some of the Clergy being present when Mr. Barrow suffered death seeing his constant testimony against their evil doings might deride him and so might occasion those words from him Surely if the Doctor had had any thing worth noting against this man a few Pages in his Book should not have contained it Thus all may see it is
