In refutation of Mr. Iohn Goodwins Innocencies Triumph: my deare brother Burtons Vindication of churches, commonly called Independent: and of all anti-monarchicall, anti-Parliamentall, anti-synodicall, and anarchicall paradoxes of papists, prelates, Anabaptists, Arminians, Socinians, Brownists, or Independents: whose old and new objections to the contrary, are here fully answered. / By William Prynne, of Lincolnes Inne, Esquire.

TO THE HIGH COVRT OF PARLIAMENT Right Honourable HAving had the Honour through Gods assistance to be a meane though cordiall Instrument of Vindicating The Soveraigne Power of Parliaments and Kingdomes in all Civill or Military affaires which concerne the State in Foure severall Volumes against all Opposites whatsoeever which they have for the most part satisfied or put to silence I expected a Quietus est from all other Controversies concerning the Iurisdiction of Parliaments especially in Ecclesiasticall matters which most imagined had been put to eternall silence when our Lordly Prelates lost their Votes and Session in Parliament by a publike Law But alas I know not by what evill Genius and Pythagorean Metempsychosis the Anti-Parliamentary Soules formerly dwelling in our defunct Prelates earthly Tabernacles are transmigrated into and revived in a New-Generation of men started up of late among us commonly known by the Name of INDEPENDENTS who though for the most part really cordiall in their Affections Actions to the Parliament and Church of England for which and for their piety they are to bee highly honoured yet some of them are of late become extremely derogatory and destructive unto both in their Anarchicall and Anti-Parliamentary Positions For which and for their late gathering of Independent Churches contrary to Your Parliamentary Injunctions they are to be justly blamed as great disturbers of our publike Peace and Vnity It is the observation of learned Voetius and Vedelius That the Arminians in the Netherlands for the advancing of their owne Faction and more facill accomplishment of their private ill Designes did before the Synod of Dort and in the beginning thereof exceedingly cry up the Power of the Civill Magistrate and States of Holland in Ecclesiasticall matters both by Writing and Preaching ascribing to them the highest Jurisdiction and Power of giving ultimate Judgement in all Controversies of Faith and Ecclesiasticall matters arising in the Church as a Prerogative belonging immediately under Christ to them alone And thereupon they appealed to the States from the Ecclesiasticall Classes as the proper Iudges of the Controversies they had raised in the Belgick Churches But at last after the Synod of Dort had determined against their Arminian Errors and the States established their Determinations prohibiting the Preaching or Printing of any Arminian Tenets with the private Independent Congregations and Conventicles of the Arminian Party they presently altered both their opinions and practice crying downe the Authority of the States and Civill Magistrate as fast as they had cryed it up both in their Apologies and Sermons contracting yea denying them that very power which before they had so liberally measured ●ut unto them affirming that the States had no power at all over their private Congregations that it was not any right or part of their Office to obliege men by their authorities to the Decrees of Synods however agreeable to the word of God and that they ought not to use any coactive Power or Authority in such cases to obliege them to conformity This Practice of the Arminians was by M r Thomas Edwards by way of prediction applied to the Independents in these very tearmes And it may be feared however these Apologists NOW to ingratiate themselves and being let alone in their Church-way say they give more to the Magistrates than the Presbyteriall and that they professe to submit and to be most willing to have recourse to the Magistrates Iudgement and Cognizance and Examination of Ecclesiasticall Causes yet when they shall come once to be crossed and the Parliament by the advice of the Assembly to settle the Government of the Church and by their Authority to bind them to things agreeable to the word wee shall see then what they will say of the Magistrates Power There are too many speeches already since the Assembly out of their feare how they may goe which have fallen from many Independents THAT PROGNOSTICATE THEY WILL DOE BY THE PARLIAMENT AS THE REMONSTRANTS DID AFTER THE SYNOD OF DORT BY THE STATES Which Prognostication hath fallen out accordingly For since that time our Independents having felt the Pulses of the Assembly and Parliament bearing but very gently by way of debate against their Anarchicall and Anomolous New-Way derived from their good friends the German Anabaptists and Separatists and supported only with their Arguments as I am fully able to demonstrate they have not only in Presse and Pulpit cryed up their Way as the Onely Way Kingdome and Scepter of Christ and denyed all opposition in word deed or thought against it as a direct FIGHTING AGAINST GOD and promoted it publikely and privately with all their Industry Policy Power setting up New Independent Congregations in every corner but even with open mouth pen hand contrary to their former Solemne Vowes Covenants Protestations which I feare they have over-much forgotten cryed downe and fought against the very Ecclesiasticall Power and Legislative Authority of the High Court of Parliament it self and Supreme Temporall Magistrates proclaiming
