Horton and are to be sold at the Royal Elchange in Cornhill A Winding-Sheet For the ANABAPTISTS c. IS it not to be admired that so many worthy and learned Divines for some years past should be so much metamorphiz'd as to deny their Mother Church of England and the purity of it who so transparently flourished in the dayes of the never to be forgotten Queen Elizabeth blessed King James our late glorious Martyr King Charles the first and now blessed be God under our Gracious Soveraign King Charles the second and shall they dare to represent themselves Serpents amongst innocent Doves such Monuments of these are not without the Calculation of time when we consider the faction they arose from whose chief Rise was disorder and the whole Kingdome made a rude Chaos of Confusion there was no beauty in the Holy Temple 't was converted into a Den of Thieves nay which is worse if possible a Stable for Horses which forc'd an Italian to vent this bitter speech seeing that famous Cathedral of St. Pauls so much abus'd and the beauty thereof so much defac'd Horses and men said he amongst you English serve God alike now adayes the Surplice was turn'd into Scotch-Cloth and the white sheet of Pennance into the stool of Repentance I am perswaded there was not one of a hundred at the first that gave their consent for the utter abolishing of the Divine Service-Book and true it is it may well be so term'd when we consider what Reverend and Antient Fathers they were that had a hand in the composing and contriving of it being indued with Gods holy and blessed Spirit and laying down their lives to ride in Chariots of fire to maintain that worthy Book which some giddy-headed Sectaries since the beginning of our late unnatural Wars so much despised renting and tearing of it in pieces like so many Bedlams and meer time-servers blown about with every blast of light doctrine that will be Anabaptist to day a Brownist to morrow and in a word any thing the next day O lamentable what times did we then live in when the Church was without true discipline Gods Lawes quite taken from us no Lords Prayer allowed but Master Separate to doe as his fickle braine served him the Sacrament of the Lords Suppe● not administred once in halfe a yeare and when it was delivered wonderfull out of order it was the Sacrament of Baptisme celebrated as any would have it that was in fee with Master Parson the dead body buried with five or six words at the most no decency in the Churches no manners nor order forgetting that God is the God of order I doe not speake against praying by the Spirit for I know that Gods people alwayes prayed as they felt their wants but for poore ignorant people who have not the spirit of prayer what provision were made for them the answer is Just none What shall become of them Your answer must bee you must leave them to Gods mercy But I and many more would have thought you had some charity in you but in leaving poore ignorant people quite without any way to know God or his will I thinke you have done worse then the superstitious Papist ever did to the Heathen where they conquered Was there ever any Kingdome in the Christian world that flourished more for almost fourscore yeares then this Kingdome did all the reigne of queene Elizabeth King Iames and sixteene yeares of our glorious Martyr'd King Charles his reigne As for the order of reading the Old and New Testament once a year what a comfort must it needs be to those who can not read What an excellent order is that of reading Davids Psalmes once a moneth in due place and order which is not to be parellel'd by any Reformed church in the Christian world with many other excellent passages of great note and worth But now that a company of shuttle-brain'd fellowes who for their understanding and knowledge can scarce hold argument with a Schoole-boy that these I say must have that good Book quite taken away as a great Idoll in the Church what a kinde of madnesse is it let all wise men judge I doe not write so much in the applause of the Booke of common Prayer so to magnifie it as to put downe preaching and to ease some Ministers of their paines in studying no my earnest desire is that there may be praying with the whole congregation together and preaching too that the Word may be taught plentifully among the poor people and ●hat wee which are the inhabitants of England may goe hand in hand that God may have his due praise and glorie among us and you with us may ●ive God his due praise and honour both together which God in his mercy ●rant and that we may sit together every man under his owe Vine and ●●gtree And to you the Bretheren of the Separation which have the spirit so much at command and know Gods Word so well that you need no teacher take from you the exposition of the ancient Fathers and other mens workes which you so much despise and then take the bare Bible and fall to expounding the Scriptures and I dare pawne my life for six pence you shall have as good nonsense as you would desire to heare Goe back goe back thou foolish man or woman whatsoever thou art and returne to thy mother the Church of England who first brought thee up to know God in Christ and come out of these puddles and light-headed fooleries and know he that takes hold of the Plough and looks back is unmeet for the Kingdome of God And as touching Episcopacy it is of venerable Antiquity in the Church having its rise in the Apostles time in proof of which we can give no better Evidence then the Catalogue of Bishops who begin from the Age in which the Apostles lived And shall any man deny his assent to such grave Authority so unanimously conspiring in matter of Fact without
