A64904	Unholsome henbane between two fragrant roses, or, Reasons and grounds proving the unlawfull and sinfull inserting of the corrupt and most erronious Apocrypha between the two most pure and sacred testaments together with a most humble vote and serious desire to our most reverend and religious assembly of divines, to be a means to the high and honorable Court of Parliament for the utter expunging of it out of the Holy-Bible.	Vicars, John, 1579 or 80-1652.	1645 (1645)	Wing V332; ESTC R10756	8,046	10

as a very godly and honest act in him Again see another grosse errour asserted and justified by the Author of the Maccabees 2 Mac 14 41 42 43 44 c. In which place is set forth and expressed the high commendation and praise of Razis a Jew for murthering himself in a most desperate wilfull and butcherly manner Also Ecclesiasticus 46 20. And the book of Wisdome 19 11. The words I omit to quote and expresse at length for brevities sake 2. Vntruths For proof heerof look into 2 Esdras 14 21 22 23. The words begin thus For thy Law is burnt wherfore no man knoweth the things that are done of thee or the works that shall be done in the world But if I have found grace before thee send the holy Ghost into me and I shall write all that has been done in the world since the beginning c. Now that that is a palpable falsity untruth the most complete History of the worlds Creation and preservation all along in the 5 Books of Moses c. and the books of the Prophets Evangelists and Revelations most admirably preserved and kept from burning and destruction notwithstanding the frequent devastations and conflagrations of Jerusalem and the Captivities of the Jews and persecutions since of the Christians as in all former ages doth most abundantly evidence and declare to the everlasting glory of God and comfort of his children So likewise you may see such other untruths in 2 Mac. 2 4 5 6 7 8. Tobit 5 11 12 13. Judith 8 33. And Judith 10 9 compared with 10 12. And 11 6 12 13 14 15. Also 1 Mac 9 3 18 compared with 2 Mac 1 10 As also 2 Mac 1 13. 3 Blasphemie For the clearing of this look into Tobit 12 12 15. The words are these Now therfore when thou didst pray and Sara thy daughter in law I did bring to memory your prayers before the holy One and when thou didst bury thy dead I was with thee likewise I am Raphael one of the 7 holy Angels which present the prayers of the Saints and which go forth before his holy Majestie These 2 verses being compared with Rom. 8 34. Who is he that condemneth It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is even at the right hand of God who also maketh intercession for us And with the 1 Tim: 2 5. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men the Man Christ Jesus And also with Revel 8 3 4. And another Angel came and stood at the altar having a golden censor and there was given to him much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all Saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne And the smoke of the odours which came up with the prayers of the Saints ascended up before God out of the Angels hand Compare these 3 places I say with that of Apocryphall-Tobit and then see and say whether it be not abominable Blasphemie to make or mention any other Mediator twixt God and his Saints than Christ Jesus alone as there it is of one Raphael 4. Magick or Inchantment That this is so also be pleased to see Tobit 6 6 7 8 9. The words are these Then the young man said to the Angel Brother Azarias to what use is the heart the liver and the gall of the fish And he said unto him touching the heart and the liver If a devil or an evil spirit trouble any we must make a smoke therof before the man or the woman and the partie shall be no more vexed As for the gall it is good to anoint a man that hath whitenes in his eyes and he shall be healed c. Also Tobit 11 10 11 12 13. Tobit also went forth toward the door and stumbled But his son ran unto him and took hold of his father and he strake of the gall on his fathers eyes saying be of good hope my father And when his eyes began to smart he rubbed them and the whitenes peeled away from the corners of his eyes Now if these were not plain Spels and unwarrantable wayes of Magick and Inchantment thus to drive away devils and evil spirits and to cure diseases by the help of such a spirit as Azarias and Raphael let all truly godly say and determine 5. Contradictions to Canonicall Scriptures For proof heerof be pleased to take notice of that in Judith 9 2 3 4 The words are these O Lord God of my father Simeon to whom thou gavest a sword Genes 34 2 25. to take vengeance of the strangers who had loosned the girdle of a Maid to defile her and discovered the thigh to her shame and polluted her virginity to her reproach for thou saidst it shall not be so and yet they did so wherfore thou gavest their rulers to be slain c. Now compare this with Gen. 49 5 6 7. The words are these Simeon and Levi are brethren instruments of crueltie are in their habitations O my soul come not thou into their secret c. Cursed be their anger for it was feirce and their wrath for it was cruell c. And then see and judge whether that of Apocryphall-Judith were not a most false and foul contradiction to this Canonicall Scripture in Genesis Judith accusing the Lord God as consenting to and allowing of that cruell murther committed by Simeon and Levi on the Shichemites for the rape of Shichem on their sister Dinah Also Ecclesiasticus 46 20. The words are these And after his death he prophesied and shewed the King his end 1 Sam 28 18 19 and lift up his voice from the earth in prophesie c. Now compare this with Isa 57 2. He shall enter into peace they shall rest in their beds every one that walketh before him And with Ecclesiastes 12 7. Then shall the body return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return to God that gave it And now see if there be not a most egregious contradiction of Gods Canonicall Truth in that of Apocryphall-Ecclesiasticus falsly bringing in the holy Prophet Samuel to rise alive out of his grave and to prophesie to Saul after his death So also in Hester Apocrypha 12 5. compared with Hester Canonicall 1 3. And Hester Apocryphall 15 9 10. compared with Hester Canonicall 5 2. And there you will also easily perceive apparent oppositions and clear contradictions to Gods sacred-Truths not to be admitted or indured especially in one and the same book and volume Besides take this one more note by the way as a black-brand and mark of unworthines of thus misplacing the Apocrypha with or in the heart and midst of the holy Bible the most sacred Canonicall-Scriptures even the low and base style of the Penman of the Apocrypha 1 who at the conclusion of all writes thus 2 Maccab 15 39. If I have done well and as the Storie required it is the thing I desired But if I have spoken
