in the state of this present life it is impossible to keep Gods Commandements to perfection according to the Law but not to acceptation when we are in Christ. Fourthly that the gate of mercy is not to be shut against any sinner penitently desiring reconciliation but he is to be admitted to the same privately or publikly Fiftly that Praiers are to be made for all that are departed in the true faith of Christ that is first Thankesgiving that they are delivered from the body of death and miseries of this sinfull world Secondly Requests of Gods mercy that they may have their perfect consummation and blisse in body and soule in the kingdome of God at the last judgment Sixtly that Virginity such as the Apostle describeth 1 Cor. 7. 34 37. holy in body and spirit and undertaken to be free from the cares of this world to be carefull for the things that pertaine to the Lord is a more excellent estate then marriage Seventhly that the Saints in heaven pray for the Church on earth and it is lawfull for us to pray to God to heare their praiers but they know not our hearts neither may we aske grace or glory of any but God onely Eightly that images of God are unlawfull The images of Christ and the Saints may be used in way of history or remembrance and with reverent respect not to be worshipped with incense vowes or praiers Loe here our Doctrine for which never any man was cut off from the Primitive Church nor any counted a Rebell till the Pope began to play the masterly servant in the house of God and to strike his fellow-servants and cast out whom he list out of the family Objection The fourth Councell of Carthage at which Saint Augustine was present decreed according to the ancient practise of the Church and Apostolicall tradition that the faithfull may neither pray nor sing Psalmes with hereticks See what a sin it is to perswade a Catholick man to goe to heretical service forbidden by holy Scripture by Generall Councells and observed by all sects who doe at this day repell from their service all those that be of a contrary Religion THis authority of the Councell of Carthage was reserved for the last place and is graced with Saint Augustines name and Apostolick Tradition of likelihood because it mentions singing of Psalmes which the Church of England and other reformed Churches doe use It might seem odious if he should have said Yee may not sing a Psalme with a Protestant and some body might have replyed May I sing a Catch or a merry song and not one of Davids Psalmes may I eate with him and not give God thankes May we sleepe together and not say the Lords prayer together To this it seemed hard to make a handsome answer with reason therefore the Councell of Carthage and Saint Augustine and the ancient practise of the Church and Apostolicall Tradition are brought in to beare it downe by meer authority But for Tradition even by their owne description expounding it of doctrine not written he must give up his plea from Scripture if he claime by Tradition unlesse he will acknowledge that he as many times the ancients doe meanes by this word The same thing that was written The practise of the Church is yet to shew neither can it I beleeve be shewed ever delivered holden or practised that such as had one God one Faith one Baptisme one Lord one Spirit one hope of salvation might not have one Prayer sing one Psalme together Especially these same Psalmes that we are speaking of calling Iewes and Gentiles old and young all that have breath yea the bruit and senselesse creatures to the joynt performance of this duty The praising their Creator Did the Councell then forbid that which God commands Did Saint Augustine consent to it I think not But the Author of this Collection whether wittingly or ignorantly God knowes goeth about to beguile the simple with a cunning Translation and wrong application of this Canon to make feare where there is no feare The word which he Englisheth To sing Psalmes is more generall To sing any Ditty or Song whether it be out of the Book of Psalmes as we doe use the terme or composed by any other Author Such Psalmes had the Hereticks in their assemblies both the Arrians and the Donatists wherein they inserted such things as made to the advancing of their owne Sect yea as tended to increase contention which mooved Saint Chrysostome at Constantinople and Saint Ambrose at Milane and by their example many other Churches in the world to take up the like use of singing also besides the Psalmes of David which long before were wont to be sung in the Church The Churches in Africk were more slack herein as Saint Augustine relateth so as the Donatists blamed them because they sung soberly the divine Songs of the Prophets in the Church When themselves saith he inflame their drunken fits with singing of Psalmes composed by mans wit like a Trumpet encouraging to the fight And thus did Saint Augustine stirred up perhaps with their example compose a Ditty for the common people against the Donatists which he calls a Psalme the first Verse and under-song whereof I will set downe and apply to our present case Omnes qui gaudetis de pace modo verum judicate All you that in peace delight What is truth now judge aright Iudge I pray you all that be the children of peace whether the case be like of the blasphemous and seditious songs of Arrians and Donatist and the sacred Psalmes of the Prophets And for the application of this Canon to the reformed Churches judge whether there be no ods betweene the assemblies of true Catholick and charitable Christians and the Conventicles of desperate Hereticks and cut-throats denying the Lord that bought them or the Catholick Church that brought them forth confining it to Africk as some doe now to Rome re-baptizing those that come from others to them burning Churches and the holy Scriptures ris●…ing houses pulling out the eyes cutting out the tongues and off the hands of those that dissented from their madnesse and setting upon them by the high-waies to kill or to be killed upon hope of becomming Martyrs Certainly these manners of the ancient hereticks doe more plainely decypher the massacres and barbarities of the holy League in France lately renewed also amongst the Grisons or not to goe so farre of our Powder Traitors here in England and generally of the Romish then the reformed Catholicks Iudge againe whether that be likely to be true which the Author of this Collection would perswade by his wresting the Scriptures forgeing and framing to his purpose the opinions of ancient hereticks slandring his even-Christians making them to hold that which it is marvell if his owne conscience did not tell him is otherwise Whether it be likely to be a Sect which as himselfe observes is different from all Sects in that according to another Canon of the selfe same Councell which he cites it prohibites none to come into the Church and heare Gods Word Gentile Heretick or Iew at least till such be dismissed as receive not the Communion And according to Saint Augustines rules Corrects that which is crooked approoves that which is right gives what is lacking acknowledges what is present according to the Apostles precept Followes peace with all that call upon the Name of the Lord. Iudge lastly and see what a sinne it is for any Catholick to disswade or be disswaded from such meetings wherein the Catholick Faith is confessed the blessed Trinity worshipped the holy Scriptures reverently read the Psalmes sung to Gods praise Praiers made for all estates in a knowne and understood language where there is admission into the Church by Baptisme instruction touching our misery through sinne by the Law our remedy in Christ by the Gospel the remembrance of whose perfect Sacrifice is celebrated his blessed Body and Blood distributed according to his institution where penitent sinners are reconciled the Dead reverently recommended into the hands of God the Living informed according to the teaching of the Apostles to live Soberly Iustly and Godly and above all if that be not all Charitably I say againe with Saint Augustine Omnes qui gaudetis de pace modò verum judicate FINIS Answer Vulgat edit quae 〈◊〉 ista religi●… 1. 2. 3 4. 5.
