B04473	A clear confutation of Mr. Richard Allen, and his five commendators, from their own confessions, collected out of the vindication of his essay, and fairly improv'd against them, to the overthrow of their conjoined singing in artificial tunes in gospel-worship. To which is added, an answer to Mr. William Collins's defence from the charge exhibited against him in my book, entituled, The controversie of singing brought to an end, &c.

about the Hebrew Rhime and to other unfair matters For which publick Failings and all other Sins I desire he may have the Grace of true Repentance given to him that his sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord. Moreover Forasmuch as Mr. Allen and his five Companions have so far followed the Steps of their Fellow-Champions that went before them in this controversie as to set their Names in print as before is shewed to such Deceit and Error that cannot be justified by any of them I think our People have no reason to regard their writings of it nor to credit their publick Testimonies And I hope those Churches that are particularly concern'd will in Obedience to Christ and for Truths sake discourage that Spirit of Deceit and Lying that has appear'd in defence of the common way of singing and is an evident sign of its being false Worship that so the failings of particular Persons may not become their Churches Sin and Shame unto Posterity And that they and other Churches will be watchful against the mischief of false Worship even where it is not practised For while any of our Churches which do not practice the common way of singing hold Communion at the Lords Table knowingly with any of their Members that practise it with other People such Churches defile their Separation in the same nature as if they had Communion with a whole Church that practised the same and lay a foundation of Ruin to their own Reformanion from false worship for if it be lawful by the Word of God for a Church to have such full Communion knowingly with one Person that practiseth false Worship with other Christians why not with ten Persons and with a whole Church that practiseth the same Worship and if this be lawful then why may they not so hold Communion with the same false Worship or with false Worshippers respecting that particular practised in their own Church as well as with another Church that is in the practice of it So that the natural consequence if followed of a Churches allowing full Communion at the Lords Table with one person that practiseth false Worship leads to the bringing of it into use among themselves and so to ruin their Separation and Reformation And if any say that such a strict Discipline as I am for will hazard the breaking or dividing of many of our Churches about London My Answer is That if so 't is chiefly to be attributed to our singing Elders and Ministers that have so far corrupted them that they cannot bear a thorough Separation and Reformation and then we may see what sad work they have made among us The Lord awaken his People unto Righteousness and supply the want of true Reformers that I and others who have walked in Church Communion for many years which at present are unsetled may to our Comfort in the Bosom of a pure and compleatly constituted Church of Christ leave this World when our appointed time is come And that none of our Churches may be under the Conduct of such a Treacherous Popish Principle of the Liberty and Power of a Gospel-Church as appears in Mr. Allen and his five Companions which does not only cast contempt upon the Sufferings of the Saints for Reformation in Divine Worship but openly confronts the Confessions of the Protestant Dissenters in this Nation and is a shame unto those six Ministers that have broach'd it among the Baptists Churches Isaac Marlow London December 1. 1696.
