A REPLY TO A LETTER Printed at NEWCASTLE VNDER The name of an Answer sent to the Ecclesiasticall Assembly at LONDON about Matters concerning the KING and the Government of the CHURCH With the Copy of the said LETTER to the Assembly in the name of JOHN DEODATE D. D. ALSO A Certificate from one of the Scribes of the ASSEMBLY at LONDON LONDON Printed by J. C. 1646. The Animadvertors Epistle to all well-affected Englishmen who are unwilling to be seduced to believe lies Countrey-men and friends SO soon as I received this printed Pamphlet from Newcastle which came to me inclosed in a letter dated Newcastle the 10. 1646. from an eminent person of that place who advertised me that it was all that the Printer had published since his residing there I did forthwith repaire to some members of the Assembly of Divines at Westminster to acquaint them with it desiring to know whether they had ever received any such letter And upon search finding it to bee a meere forgery I thought fit to publish this Antidote to preserve the people from being poysoned by it I have perused it and must censure them very simple that will bee seduced with such a notorious fiction invented by some prophane Atheist for none else durst dare so often to blaspheme the Name of God to countenance such abominable lies A stranger hee is indeed but so unlike Doctor Deodate that the good old man will be full of sorrow to heare that a Presse should be conveyed to Newcastle to the King to surprize him with such a scandall Take this cordiall therefore to heart which I have prepared to correct the malignancy of that corrosive and corroborate the simple-hearted people who are too apt to drink in such sugred potions Who this pretender of translating the Doctors letter is I know not but this I am sure that he appeares a Cheater a Jesuite a Digby what shall I say more an Ormond a meer Machiavil And therefore the scandals that he hath written against the Parliament and the Assembly are no more to be valued then what wise men expect from such All which doth amount to a very poore justification of the Royall actions The Lord bring into the way of truth all such as have erred and are deceived So prayes he who is Yours in the Lord LUKE HARRUNEY Gracious street this 15. of December 1646. Some Animadversions upon the Letter pretended to be Doct. Deodates but written by a Malignant at Newcastle to the Assembly of Divines AS the Printer at Newcastle pretends this Book to be printed at Geneva so the Episcopall Malignant at Newcastle pretends the matter of it to be Doctor Deodates letterr from Geneva by which they both approve themselves to be a couple of cheating knaves And if any be not satisfied that this letter is forged they may repaire to the Assembly at Westminster and see that which is the right And although this might be a sufficient answer to it for rationall men yet lest some poore ignorant souls should be overcome before they discern the danger of the poyson I will passe some Animadversions upon it For that passage in the Marginall Note pag. 5. observe the Lyer Did the Church of England flourish by the publishing of prophane Books of sports on the Lords day By stopping the mouths of godly Ministers cropping off both branch and fruit of all godlinesse and planting Popishly affected covetous and proud Clergy in all the chiefe places of the Kingdome The Pope indeed had a flourishing party waging warre against the Protestants and Parliaments of England This Metropolitan of our divisions was fomented by the Hierarchy they divided between the King and Kingdome head and body father and son brother and brother a right Babylonish division The Scorpion stings himselfe pag. 6. 7. His note is still under Episcopacie which carried such a glorious face with their Cathedrals and Courts as the Cardinals and Fry of Rome with their Abbies and Monasteries And therefore it was that they stirred up the King to force the Popish Service-book upon the Scots and when that could not be effected they animated him to raise an Army against the Parliament of England and caused the Sheep and the Pastors to goare each other till the land wallowed in blood yet still as Bernard saith they have conscientia mala tranquilla no remorse no sting of conscience nothing but a dead slumber a damnable hardnesse of heart And whereas he magnifies the Kings benignity as of the best of Princes and that he is the most absolute in wisdome to redresse these miseries I wish that his Majesty may confirme the same by passing the Propositions of the wisest of Counsells the Parliaments of both Kingdomes presented to him at Newcastle In the eight page you may see what a disparagement hee would cast upon the Parliament and Citie of London as if they should by driving away the King be the cause of the warre and bloodshed when as his Majesty left them against their will because they desired and laboured that justice might be executed according to law There were many Popish and Prelaticall Tares sowne in the Church of England And as God hath hitherto so I doubt not but he will perfect his work by the Parliament as his Angell with the sharp sickle to cut down that harvest before it doth attain Ripenesse in these Kingdomes Blame not therefore the Citie and the reverend Assembly though they deserted those Vipers to joyn in hand and heart with the Parliaments to preserve the Church and people of God And how ever the Libeller vapours for the Hierarchy in the note of the eight page yet we know how opposite they were to Christ and that by wofull experience Christs commands to preach the word in season and out of season 2 Timoth. 4. 2 But they forbad more then one Sermon a week nay would have had preaching but once a moneth God commands the Lords day to be kept holy Exod. 20 but they prevailed with the King to have sports and recreations allowed on the Lords day Gods word requires spirituall worship John 4. 23 They forced human Traditions upon the Ministers and people And the first Bishops we read of were no more but Presbyters preaching Elders 1 Tim. 3 They proved Prelaticall Tyrants It is true as page 9. there have been many overtures for peace but the Prelats have so wrought into his Majesties affections that the Prelats and evill Councellors of their faction have still hindered the good issue they have stil been the chiefe incendiaries How many protestations have they forced from his Majesty to stick to them and not to leave them They would be held up though three kingdomes be ruined chusing rather to see England Scotland and Ireland all in a sea of blood then the pomp of their Prelaticall kingdom should bee overwhelmed These have alwayes been the men that have set the whole earth in a combustion Though they have unhappily engaged the King
