sworne lawfull albeit they pretend true religion and divine worship yet oftimes it subverteth both 20. By obscuring the evidency of the visible word to wit Christs sacraments both by forging confirmation and other popish sacraments and in giving privatly baptisme and the communion when as the Sacraments should be publict badges of our Christian profession and by adding unto the true Sacraments superstitions which Christ never ordained as crossing unto baptisme altars unto the LORDS supper 21. By confounding the signes with the thing signified as in affirming the bread and wine to be the naturall body and bloud of Christ 22. By confounding humaine traditions with divine ordinances for they observe as strictly crossing the saying of Ave Maria praying for the dead c as any point of Christian religion 23. By equalling in honour the creatures with the Creator as in appointing fixed dayes of the year unto Saincts and observing them as solemnly and religiously as they do the LORDS Sabboths as in praying to Saincts and Angels in dedicating religious places to Saints and Angels as the temple of Ierusalem was dedicate unto GOD. 24. By attributing divine vertue unto creatures unto actions and unto imagenarie things as unto works of charitie that they merite any thing from GOD as believing that Saints and Angels can heare our prayers or interceed for us and that crossings relicts holy water altars and masse cloathes have power to sanctifie other things as by giving Divine vertue to Baptisme and the Lords Supper saying Opus operatum the work done may save or sanctifie that purgatory can purge from sin or satisfie for sin 25. By forged and lying miracles and other lies in Popish legends 26. By miraculous things in nature calling them supernaturall and saying they are done of GOD to confirme some points of superstition and idolatrie Upon a Christmas day about the yeer 1606. in London a woman handled her apron rudelie oftimes it did cast out fire like flint Some said It was a divine miracle proving thereby that this superstitious day should be keept holy But the truth was that the apron was dipted into melted suggar and thereafter it was dryed at the fire and so hardned and then when any did touch the apron or smite it rudelie fire came out of it It is the nature of well dryed suggar if it be not mixed with other matter to cast fire when it is smitten violentlie 27. By misinterpreting the terrors of GODS judgements for the defence of antichristian errors In the yeer of GOD 1621. in a Parliament holden at Edinburgh it was concluded that these superstitious articles should be embraced and observed in Scotland to wit Geniculation to the Sacrament private Baptisme private Communion Confirmation and some holy Dayes At the very moment of concluding this Parliament there was heard such terrible thunder with raine that the LORDS within the Parliament house and the Citizens without were striken with great fear astonishment Some taking it for a signe GODS anger for the superstitious errors that were ●●●●●blished that day Neverthelesse some Time-serve●● blasphemouslie said that GOD was shooting his Gunnes and Canons from heaven for a show and a signe of approbation that these articles were then concluded 28. By deluding Kings and Princes perswading them that their dignities and estates can not be established except the bastard offices of Bishops be also established Some of them presumptuouslie affirm that no Bishop no King and so sacrilegiouslie by treasonable vsurpation they ascribe unto themselves that honour which belongeth unto Christ who Prover 8.15 saith By me Kings reigne Princes decree justice The antichristian prelats say no lesse then By Bishops Kings reigne and Princes decree justice By what Bishops were David Salomon and Hezekia c. established Whether did the Bishops of Rome reigne or the Kings when some kings led the Popes horse bridle When the Pope did cast down with his foot the crown off some Kings head when the Popes usurped both civile and ecclesiasticall government c. 29. By spoiling the people with oppression and by povertie they must want the meanes of learning and so they shall be ignorant not knowing the Scriptures neither perceiving the craftinesse of the clergy The prelates themselves both doe spoile the people and also they cause civile Magistrates oppresse them with taxations and heavy burdeins 30. By denying the morall observation of the Lords Sabboths and by giving libertie unto men to spend the halfe of the Lords day in games playes and civile exercises saying ●his should bee the refreshment from their bodily labours of the week Iudge you if this bee a hallowing of the Sabboth The Pagans did keepe all the LORDS Sabboths and many of them did keep all the dayes of their life with this kinde of holinesse The antichristians hereby do hinder the light of the Sun of righteousnes to shine upon GODS People in interpreting the Scriptures and preaching the same the one half of the day and also indirectly the other half for they who look for a liberty of playing and games c. in the after-noone can hardly affixe their mindes upon the reverent hearing of GODS word before noone their thoughts before the time will bee so exercised upon the after-noone Playes c. 31. By beguiling mens senses at Divine service with outward vaine objects as with tapers torches candles and with their gesticulations c. to exercise the sight By the sounding of Organs and musicall instruments to exercise the hearing Faith is bred and increased in mens hearts by hearing of the word preached and not by the hearing of Musick When the Priests offered sacrifice in the old Testament there was great need of Musick because killing of beasts was a melancholious exercise But now the Preaching of the glad tydings of Salvation should be more delightsome then all the Musick of the world The damned people in hell would think it ten thousand times sweeter then all instrumentall musick The vocall musick of the Psalmes not only is a praising of GOD which dead instruments can not doe but also it expresseth the Gospell in the very proper termes thereof Quest 4. I see all that is conteined in this masse b●●● is wil-worship For the using of the Scriptures themselves as this booke prescribeth is wil-worship that is as they are fixed to the solemne dayes of Sancts and determinate times of the yeer and as they are cutted diminished and incorporated with errors and superstitions they are made a matter of wil-worship but what evidences of idolatrie finde you in this book Ans If you take idolatry in a generall sense for such worship as men used to give to idols and false Gods then all the will worship foresaid is idolatrie The most part of all idolaters did worship their idole Gods according to humaine inventions and as they pleased themselves because their idols being dead stocks could not direct nor teach them in any manner of worship If a wife rule and governe

Is it decent that a Queene shall be clad with the garments of a whore you do cloath Gods kirk with the garments of the whore of Babylon by idolatrous and superstitious rites 3.
