B12273	The harmonie of the lawe and the gospel Wherin is plainly shewed, that howsoeuer they differ in time and some other circumstances, yet in substance they are one & the same.

in the scriptures but is verie much auaileable to our instruction and comfort if it be diligently considered And the scriptures are the inestimable riches of this treasure to the destroying and confounding wherof no industrie and endeuour of man is of it selfe sufficient But arguments that are taken from the circumstance of time are firme and sure when men doe speak of God and of the action of eternall saluation because God is subiect to no alteration or change of times For as saith the Apostle Peter One day with the Lord is as a thousand 2. Pet. 3. 8. yeares and a thousand yeares as one day And Iesus Christ who is constituted made vnto vs of God the Father the author Mediator of saluation is yesterday and to day and Heb. 13. 8. the same for euer He is the Lambe of God who was offered from the beginning of the World because that in his merite the auncient Apoc. 13 8 fathers who from Adam beleeued his comming were saued and by him also shal be saued to the ende of the world all that doe apprehend him with a true and liuely faith That this should bee thus effected is necessarie For if wee were iustified and saued by any other meanes then our auntient Fathers were there would follow a double manner of Iustification and a diuerse or double meane of saluation which cannot be because Christ hath saide that hee is the Iohn 10. 9. doore by whom we must enter into the society of his sheep-fold that is of his Church and Saluation calling all them theeues and robbers that endeuour to clyme vp by any other meanes To whom the Apostles Acts. 4. 12. consent seeing they affirme no other name to be giuen vnto men vnder heauen wherin wee must bee saued but onely the name of Iesus This may be confirmed by diuers reasons in the word of God First the elect that are heires of saluation in the scriptures are called the children of Abraham Now how can they be so called if they should be iustified and saued by any other meanes then Abraham was Secondly all those things that God in times past hath determined concerning the monarchies and kingdomes of this worlde remaine firme and certain for they did arise fall in that order and time that Daniel other Prophets foreshewed they should arise and come to their end And shall we then think that God would be so vnmindefull of himselfe that hee would set vp and pull down the Lawes of his kingdome or in those Lawes for mens sakes would alter and change any one of those things that by his eternall decree he had determined before we were in natura rerū yea before the foundatiōs of the world were laied Thirdly if the Law then the which the whole world neuer sawe a thing more magnificent whether wee haue a respect vnto the giuing of it full of maiestie feare or the forme of the outward worship or the example of holy men that liued vnder the discipline of the Lawe was not able to abrogate the Couenant of eternall saluation which God in times past had made with Abraham then what foolishnesse yea rather madnesse shall it bee that in changing of this couenant wee should attribute any thing to humane traditions which God will not entertaine in his worship as being manifestly cōdemned by authoritie both of the olde and newe Testament Fourthly and lastly if God himselfe were vnwilling to giue vnto vs a Lawe which should abolish the auncient promise and couenant of Abraham shall wee then grant this to superstitious and foolish men that they should set downe newe meanes to attaine vnto saluation whereby Iustification by faith already cōfirmed by the authority of the new Testament should bee abolished or any way corrupted Then hereby are they confuted that defend Poperie by Antiquitie but doe accuse the Gospell and faith that is grounded vpon the onely merite of Christ of noueltie Beloued if wee consider the whole matter wee shal then see that there are fewe things in Poperie that deserue the name of Antiquitie because it may be shewed out of credible histories both at what time and by what men the most part of all those things that by papistes are esteemed had their beginning First to beginne with their supremacie It is manifest it was in the yeare of Christ sixe hundred seauen or thereabouts The Apostles being mindefull of the admonition of Christ neuer thought of any such matter neither amongst their successors was there any contention about the supremacie vntill the dayes of the Emperour Mauritius when Iohn the Patriarke Popish supremacie of Constantinople an ambitious man calling a synode determined that the Supremacie ought to belong to the Church of Constantinople that like as all the Christian worlde was subiect to the Emperour of that place so in like sort all Churches ought to acknowledge the Patriarke of that Citie for the vniuersall pastour and chiefe Priest This was in the yeare of Christ fiue hundred fourescore and fiue Against the ambition of this man Pelagius the second being then Bishop of Rome opposed himselfe and by letters written to the Synode disallowed abolished this decree His words are thus recited a Decret Distinct 99. Cap. 4. Nullus Patriarcharum vniuersalitis vocabulo vnquā vtatur Quiae si vnus patriarcha vniuersalis dicitur patriarcharum nomen caeteris derogatur That is to say Let no Patriark hereafter vse the word of Vniuersalitie for if any be called vniuersall Patriarke the name of Patriarke is taken away from the rest But when this Patriarke of Constantinople for all this would not cease his ambition then Gregorie the first whom wee commonly call Gregorie the great more strongly opposed himselfe against his pride and by many Epistles written to the Emperour Mauritius to the Empresse Constantia to the Bishoppes of Alexandria and Antioche hee calls the Title of the Vniuersall Prieste a newe Title foolish proud peruerse wicked and profane to which if they did yeelde were all one as to denie the faith And amongst other things hee thus writes Ego fidenter dico quia quisquis se vniuersalem sacerdotem vocat vel in elatione Libro 6. Epist 30 sua vocari desiderat antichristum praecurrit I speake it bouldly whosoeuer calles himselfe Vniuersall Prieste or desires in the pride of his hearte so to bee called is the fore-runner of Anti-Christ And that this was true the euent afterward declared For this proud Patriarke by his ambition gaue occasion to Boniface the thirde that was Pope next but one after Gregorie that beeing puft vp with the like pride he demanded yea and obtained of the Emperour Phocas still being imbrewed in the blood of his Master Mauritius the supremacy ouer other Bishoppes that the Church of Rome should bee called the head of all Churches and all the Churches of the whole world should be obedient to the Pope of Rome This same murderer Phocas hated of
