VVherein their abusive opinions are manifested, their jeeres mildly retorted, and their unmannerly manners admonished. By Iohn Taylor.

And whilst they dwell in houses seel'd in State Gods Houses must lye waste and desolate The consecrated Temples they 'le come in Esteeming Reverence there to be a sinne And that for holinesse there is no ods In manners 'twixt his horses house and God's But leaving this Saint-seeming holy crew Who in their braines doe strange religions brew Whose Grounds have neither Reason Root or Pith Which Patriarches were ne're acquainted with Which from the Prophets were unknowne and hid Which Christ and his Apostles did forbid Which Councels or old Fathers ne're decreed Nor from the first true Church did e're proceed If either Separatist or Schismatique Or Anabaptist Hare-brain'd Heretique From Scripture Church or Father could but show That reverently to God men should not bow In triumph then they might display their Banners And shew some reason for their want of manners To thee that read'st or hear'st these lines I send That art so stiffe in th' hams thou canst not bend Thou ought'st in feare and love bow downe thy knee To him whose Grace and Love came downe to thee Oh fall before him that hath rais'd thee up And for thy soules life drank Deaths bitter cup Thy Body prostrate that it may expresse Thy Soules intentions humble thankfulnesse As hee 's thy Maker duteous honour doe him As hee 's a Judge offended kneele unto him The Captive doom'd to hell for his offence Ought kneele to Him that did redeeme him thence Fall downe and with thy soule thy body bend And then no doubt thy prayers will ascend For though Heaven be from Earth a mighty space The most High 's neer'st the lowly with his grace An injur'd man oft-times such mercy feeles To pardon his offender when he kneeles Judge and condemne thy selfe and then the fruit Will be God will not Judgement execute For free remission of thy sinnes unholy Thou canst not in thy gesture be too lowly He that 's asham'd to worship God is then Like him that doth deny him before men Then if thy soule be touch'd with penitence Expresse it with thy bodies reverence For though God of our kneeling hath no need To blesse Humility he hath decreed And not to kneele when we Gods blessings seeke Doth shew we neither lowly are or meeke To bow thy heart true faith doth thee perswade And he that made thy heart thy knee hath made And since he hath made all and every part Hee 'le have thy knees obedience with thy Heart Hee 'le have no halfes he made and will have all And there 's no halting safe 'twixt God and Baal Beware therefore when God thou com'st before Thy rude behaviour not incense him more Thy misery bewaile upon thy knee And he from misery thy soule will free For as thou often kneel'st for daily Bread Wherewith thy earth-decaying corps is fed So forth ' Eternall Living Bread must thou Both heart and knee both soule and body bow The Prodigall with kneeling and with mourning Was grac'd and feasted at his home-returning That Christ to man Coheireship doth impart 'T is Gods abundant Love not mans desert His humble servants here by him shall be Exalted to Eternall dignitie Wilt thou or dar'st thou thou fraile earthy clod Be fellow to th' Immortall Sonne of God Or dar'st thou stand or sit with sawcie pride To entertaine thy Saviour glorifide Dost thou not know the Great Kings Seale of Heaven Is come from thence to thee and to thee given Wherein the pardon of thy sinnes is sign'd Whereby thou may'st true peace of conscience find Whereas Christs Holy Spirit present is Wherewith his Grace doth blesse this work of his Where Bread of Life the bread doth sanctifie To all that Eat it in Humilitie Thou also in the Cup by faith may'st see His precious Blood that deign'd to die for thee Which signes and figures of Remembrance must Put us in minde that we must firmely trust His Body offred for us and his Blood Is All in All the Summe of all our Good He that Receives this and will not afford To kneele and thank so Great a Gracious Lord Is Atheist Pagan or besides his wits Unworthy of such blessed Benefits There is the figure of th' Eternall Feast And thither Grace invites thee as a Guest The Royall Robe the wedding Garment there Is set before thee for thy soule to weare The King is present Angels wait on thee And wilt thou not kneele downe and thankfull be And now some proofes I plainly will unfold How good men worship'd God in times of old When God who is for evermore I AM Did promise Isaac unto Abraham The good old man his duty knew so well That humbly bowing on his face he fell Moses did fall before the Lord and pray He would from Isr'el turne his wrath away Blest David all night on the earth did ly And fast and pray in great humility King Salomon did to this duty yeeld That though his prayer was long he praying kneeld Eliah humbly kneel'd and prayd for raine And blessed fruitfull showers he did obtaine The Leper worship'd Christ and faith procur'd That I WILL BE THOU CLEANE was said which cur'd When our Humility is of such proofe To know our selves unworthy that our roofe Christ should come under then such Grace we win That then the King of Glory doth come in The woman kneel'd and beg'd and her request Was granted and the devill dispossest The man possest with many fiends fell downe And all the Legion to the swine were throwne When Iairus kneel'd and did for favour plead His daughter was revived that was dead The woman with the bloody Issue fell And kneel'd and trembled and she was made well Among ten Lepers cur'd Grace bore such sway That one return'd and tythe of Thanks did pay Our Saviour humbly kneel'd and meekly prayd God his heavenly Father for his ayd St. Peter kneel'd and prayd unto the Lord And Dorcas was from death to life restor'd And blessed Paul with kneeling did implore That God would blesse his Church fot evermore And when from Tyrus he did make repaire He with the rest there humbly kneel'd in prayer St. Steven kneel'd and prayd with veh'ment cryes For his stone-hearted stony enemies The slave did kneele and from his Lord did get Forgivnesse for ten thousand talents debt Th' Almighty by himselfe hath sworne and vowd That every knee shall unto him be bow'd In Heaven in Earth all things beneath the same That every knee shall bowe at Iesus name The wicked and accursed fiends of Hell In feare and trembling downe before him fell In Heaven where endlesse Glories Saints doe crown The foure and twenty Elders doe fall downe And worship him that sits upon the Throne That lives for ever the blest three in one There Angels Heav'ns and all the Powers therein The chaunting Cherubin and Seraphin Continually

three Holies lowd doe cry Unto the Lord of Sabbothes majesty The Glory of whose majesty doth fill Both Heaven and Earth whose praise is singing still By blest Apostles Prophets Martyres and The holy Church through every Realme and Land All these doe knowledge him alone to be The Father of infinite majesty Whose honorable true and onely sonne By his obedience hath our pardons wonne The Holy Ghost the comforter of all Such as with stedfast faith for comfort call To this God Good and Gracious Glorious Great To him all knees must bowe all soules entreat All those that will not bend such power he hath That he will break them in his furious wrath 'T is well t' avoyd will-worship but 't is ill To frame what kinde of worship each man will When in the Temple we doe God implore 'T is God and not the Temple we adore The Priest did worship t'wards the mercy Seate And 'twixt the Cherubins our God entreat He worship'd neither Seat nor Cherubins But only God that takes away our Sinns And as on Sea and Land in every place With humble reverence we must sue for Grace So in his Church and houses consecrated And to his service only dedicated Wherein Christ Crucified is preach'd where he In Word and Sacraments doth deigne to be Sure in those places where Gods love is such All mens best manners cannot be too much For though we owe God reverence everywhere Yet in the Church it best becomes us there When we participate most of his Grace O then and there shew manners in that place The Saints in Heav'n doe kneele and praise Gods name And Saints on earth must likewise doe the same O come let 's sing unto the Lord rejoyce In our salvations strength our hearts and voyce Let us with thanks before his face appeare And shew in him with Psalmes our Gladnesse there O come let 's worship fall and kneele before The Lord our maker let us him adore This doctrine David to the Church did teach Which from those times to these all good men preach Only a new fantastick upstart Troope Of proud contentious spirits scorne to stoope I have shewd proofes and more I will produce How men are bouud unto this reverent use St. Paul repeats the places I have shewd That every knee shall to the Lord be bowd For there 's no other name else under Heaven But Iesus name by whom Salvation 's given Th' Apostle kneel'd and told th' Ephesians why To pray that Grace their faith might fructifie In Iesus blessed name our soules releife And life eternall doth consist in chiefe In all we say or doe we still must frame To say and doe with thanks in Iesus name Beleevers in this name with faith most steady Are sav'd and unbeleevers damn'd already This name alone was the Apostle's ayde To dispossesse the devill from the mayd That from this name no bonds should make him flye And for this name he willingly would dye Full of such proofes as these the Scriptures are Which to all people plainly doth declare That 't is th' Almighties Mandate and decree That all at Iesus name shall bend the knee And in all ages till these times and dayes The Churches practice it hath been alwayes And that amongst us this duty is not new But Queene Elizabeths Injunctions view Or else King Iames his eighteenth Canon read There by Authority 't is published Archbishop Whitguift if you please to note In 's Book which he 'gainst master Cartwright wrote Maintaines that all men must this duty doe Imprinted page seaven hundred forty two And learned Hooker doth the same defend In that rare Tract and Treatise which he pend Ecclesiastick Polity instil'd The true use there of Kneeling is compil'd So absolute acute and exquisit That all the Christian world approveth it Those unkneeling saucy Separatists Are often falsly called Calvinists For master Calvin's flat against their side And they are all from his directions wide He in his Institutions doth allow At Iesus name that every Knee shall bowe Those that will read may in five places finde How Calvin clearely hath declar'd his minde Madde Innovaters in their Consultations Doe nothing but cry out 'gainst Innovations Like he that rob'd himselfe and by and by Cry'd theeves theeves and pursude with Hue and Cry So these men have new fashion'd fangles found Which have from Scripture or the Church no ground Whilst we in our Church Governement doe hold Not any thing but what 's authentique old Yet vile Impuritans revile the State And Church when they themselves doe innovate Sure they are Ignorants or Hypocrites That are inspir'd with these unholy fits And with a heav'd-up hand and white of eye They 'le doe a man a mischiefe zealously And on religious points will stand most stoutly But in conclusion cozzen men devoutly These peoples braines are stuft with froath and bubbles Their concord 's discord and their peace is troubles He that can measure smoake or weigh the wind Or to the Peace the restlesse Ocean bind Number the Starres or Sands on Neptunes bounds Or take great Whales at Sea with hunting hounds Make Mountaines swim stop Rivers in their source Or stay the Sunne in his Diurnall course He that can doe all these hath power and skill To fix these fellowes stedfast in their will These are our Church and Ceremony haters That love to fish in foule and troubled waters Swift in defame their reason is their will And Will shall be their reason they say still To end this point they are a sort of youths Whose judgements still are farthest off from truths But He that in the Heavens doth reside Doth see their malice and their plots deride And though they rave and raile our State shall stand Supported only by th' Almighties hand And through the venom'd vapours of their spight Our Churches Government shall shine more bright Their errours have beene answer'd quash'd and quell'd And often by grave learned men repell'd Their causes have beene canvas'd and disputed By Scriptures Councels Fathers all confuted Ecclesiastick Canons Statutes Lawes Decrees Sense Reason all against their Cause All Institutions Orders Decencie And Ancient Custome tells them all they Lye But all these they esteeme at slender rate For they have vow'd still to be obstinate They'have beene refeld by wise-men grave and good And learn'd and still all these they have withstood Therefore they are unworthy of Reply From wise men but from such poore fooles as I To Answer their poore cavils they are such A Sculler 's fitter than a Scholler much I know two Enemies Gods Church resists The Papists and Schismatique Separatists And Shee alas like Christ betweene two Theeves Prays daily for their Pardons and Repreeves For why Betwixt the Romane Monarchie And the severe Geneva Anarchie Our Church disperseth her resplendent Beames As blessed Vertue is 'twixt two extreames For whilst Shee hath a biding in this
