Rules What now remains but that we present our humble Supplications at the Throne of Grace in behalf of this good-natured this Orthodox and Uncorrupt Church that God would continue to be her Guide and Defence that he would keep and strengthen in the true Faith and Holiness of Life all the Members of her Communion and daily add to her such as shall by his Blessing save both themselves and others Which God of his infinite mercy grant for Jesus Christ's sake to whom be rendred as is most due all Honour Glory Praise Might Majesty and Dominion both now and for evermore Amen FINIS Dr. John Spire's ORATION AT THE Parish-Church of St. OLAVE-SOUTHWARK September the 8th 1700. It is probable it may seem somewhat strange to many for me to appear after this manner in this Place but let it not be accounted either presumption or rudeness in me so to do for my undertaking is justifiable in the sight of God and all good Men. FOrasmuch as upon the Occasion of my being here the first time which was on Trinity-Sunday the 26th Day of May 1700. and that caused a disturbance in this Place and for the prevention of the like again as well as many and various false Reports that have been spread up and down and that I have frequently met with all for so doing I think it very proper to signifie something of the Reason of my coming hither and also to give you a short account of my Life down to this Day I doubt not but many will be asking why such a Man and his Family or Friends come to Church who have so many Years been Dissenters from her to which Question I shall return one general answer by acquainting you as followeth I was born of Honest Christian Parents in the County of Berks and about 40 Years since Baptized according to the usage of the Established Church of England and Educated therein till I was about 13 Years of Age at which time my Parents Joyned with the People called Quakers and afterwards I was instructed in their way in which I continued about 26 Years and in the Year 1694 when thro' the good Providence of Almighty God I began to have some small glances of the Christian Religion from which with many others I had so many Years swerved upon this Discovery I published a small thing in print to vindicate my self and my Friends many of which are here present from some erroneous Tenets held by the Quakers for which I received many and great Abuses from them and was excommunicated or disowned under the Hands of 24 from being of their Communion And in the Year 1696 finding by many of their Books and Preachments that they slighted the Humanity of our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ I did in that Year print a small Piece asserting the Humanity of Christ from Scripture Testimony for which Ialso suffered many Reproaches and have it now under a Quaker Preacher's Hand baring date the 27 of June 1696 what affronts I then received who after his long Scribble thus violently utters himself against me He tells me the Lord will confound me that God will destroy me he calls me a Ravening Wolf and bids me call in my Book that asserts the Humanity of Christ and says withal that the Lord requires it of me In the Year 1698 it pleased God Almighty to let me see that those two great Ordinances of Christ Baptism and the Lord's Supper are thankfully to be received by all sincere Christians till his coming again at the last and great Day And I do hereby freely acknowledge my former Error in denying the Benefit and Necessity of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as well as in slighting the use of the Holy Scriptures as also in Denying that great and fundamental Article of the Resurrection of the Dead all which with many others of my Friends and Relations I have been taught by the Principle Leaders and Teachers of the aforesaid People and do own I was so far seduced as to help to teach and encourage others in these abominable Errors which sin I trust the Lord of his Mercy hath pardoned because I did it Ignorantly I do also hereby freely declare that I own for Substance the Doctrine of the 39 Articles of the Church of England and desire that I may live and dye in that Faith into which I was baptized What I have further to add is that you and I may persevere in the Way and Worship of the true God and that we may be exemplary one to the other and Patterns of Humility as becomes the Christian Religion that when Days and time shall be no more to us in this World we may have our Dwelling and Habitation Eternally in the Heavens with the Lord Jesus Christ To whom with the Father and Holy Ghost be all Honour and Glory now and for ever Amen John Spire Junior
