From these false Doctrines and Heresies good Lord deliver us These Hereticks have been heretofore burnt among us as Anno 1611. March 18. Bartholomew Legat an 〈◊〉 Arrian was burnt in Smithfi●ld he refused all favour contemned Ecclesiasticall Government And in the mon●● of April following one Edward Wightman was burnt at Liechfield for the same Heresie Queene Elizabeth of blessed memorie he●●ing of them said shee was very sorrowfull to heare that shee 〈◊〉 such Monsters in her Kingdome and truly it grieveth me very much to relate their blasphemous and devillish opinions Of Millenaries AN Heresie frequent at this time This Sect look for a temporary kingdome of Christ that must begin presently and last a thousand yeares Of this Opinion are many of our Apocalypticall men that study more future events then their present duty and more rules by Prophesies then Precepts This Fancie is most dangerous for all estates 1. For to promote that Kindome of Christ they 〈◊〉 that all the ungodly must be killed 2. That the w●cked have no property in their estates 3. That the promise might be fulfilled that the meek must inherit the earth This Doctrine filleth the people with a furious and unnaturall zeale which breathes nothing but fire and sword and maketh them to look upon their Countrey-men with such an eye as the Anabaptists cast upon Munster when they came first to it viz. a malignant and covetous eye discerning their prey and marking the rich men to ruine destruction God deliver us from such a Reformation brought by a multitude missed with a frantick zeale and giddy Revelations This was the ancient Error of Cerinthus who was a Jew and lived in the time of Domitian the Emperour about the yeare of our Lord 96. Among other Errors he taught eternall life to be here in earth where we should enjoy all pleasures of the flesh That after the resurrection Christs kingdome should be upon earth and corp●rall and that men should live in carnall concupiscence and lust for one thousand yeares He dyed oppressed by the fall of a Bath when St. Iohn the Evangelist with some of his Disciples were bathing at Ephesus and saw this Heretick Cerinthus in the Bath he leaped out saying let us depart lest the Bath fall upon us Cerinthus being here the enemy of truth which came to passe as sone as Saint Iohn was gone out of it as is set downe in these Verses of Stigelius Impia Cerinthus sansto convitia Christ● Dum facit stulta garrulitate furit Concidit rando blasphemum contudit ictu Collapsae subito facta ruina domus This ancient Heresie condemned by the Church and long agoe buried is now revived in these latter times You shall finde this heresie confuted in the Chapter of the Anabaptists Hetheringtonians THE Author of this Sect was one Iohn Hetherington a Box-maker 1. This Hetherington being a Trades-man cast off his Trade and betook himselfe to be an Interpreter of the Scriptures to many persons keeping private Conventicles 2. He maintained and published the Church of England to be no true Church of Christ. 3. He was a man dis-affected to the Government and Discipline of the Church of England and agreeth with the Familists holding with them the perfect purity of the soule 4. He maintained and published the Sabbath since the Apostles 〈◊〉 to be of no force and that every day is a Sabbath as much as that which we call the Lords day or Sunday 5. He maintained the Books of Esdras was part of the Canonicall Scripture and that they ought so to be esteemed For which erro●●ous opinions tending to the disturbance of the peace of the Church to the seducing of many silly soules he was adjudged for a dangerous Sectary and among other 〈…〉 upon him this was one that he should recant his Errors at Pauls Crosse. His Errors before named are conf●ted by Doctor Denison in a Sermon of his which he preached at Pauls Crosse at the recantation of the fore-said Hethrington He recanted them at Pauls Crosse and hath lately written against the Familists The Anti-Sabbatarians THese Anti-Sabbatarians hold the Sabbath day or that which we call the Lords day to be no more a Sabbath in which they goe about to violate all Religion for take away the Sabbath and farewell Religion The Morality of the Sabbath doth consist in a mysticall resting from sin but in celebrating an appoynted day in seven to the worship and service of Almighty God 1. The Sabbath was instituted in the time of mans Innocency 2. The manner of promulgation of it in the Decalogue is worrhy to be observed God saith Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day 3. This Law is not placed among the Ceremoniall or Judiciall Lawes but in the Decalogue it selfe 4. The reasons for keeping it are expressed in the Commandement viz. Six dayes shalt thou labour and doe all that th●● hast to doe but the seventh day is the Lord c. Reasons why the Lords Day is to be observed 1. BY Morality of the fourth Commandement because the Morall Law is not abrogated by the Gospell but established Rom. 3. 3. 2. Because this day on which our Lord rose hath been observed by all Christians It was kept at Ierusal●m A●●s 2. 1. It was kept at Troas Acts 20. 7. At Patm●s Rev. 1. 10. And in all Christian Churches in the whole world 3. The ancient Fathers have pressed the observation of this day Ignatius saith Let every one that loveth 〈◊〉 celebrate the Lords day St. Basil saith when as 〈…〉 dayes prescribed by the Law are abolished yet ther● 〈◊〉 one great day of the Lord which never shall be abolished Their Testimonies are infinite 4. God hath from time to time shewed his fe●refull judgements upon prophaners of his day as you read in the Practice of Piety A certain Husband-man gri●ding corne ●n the Lords day had all his meale burned to ashes another carrying corne upon the same day had his Barn and all his Corn the next night burnt A certaine Noble-man usually prophaning the Lords day by hunting had a child by his Lady 〈◊〉 had a head like a hound Many exa●ples of Gods judgments are there set down all which may

That Anabaptisme was holy that Pedobaptisme came from the divell and that Zwinglius was in hell c.

Beuchelzo●●●us these affirme Polygamie to be permitted in the Gospell and that it is a holy thing to have many wives Melchiorists are Anabaptists so called of Melchior Hofman who was their Prophet at Strausborough whom they do expect to come at the day of Judgement with Elias They also affirme the blessed Virgin Mary not to be the Mother of our Lord but to be as a Conduit through which Christ passed so that hee tooke nothing from her neither was borne of her This Hofman was so wicked as to say Malidista sit caro Mariae Georgians certaine Anabaptists followers of David George who was father of the Familists boasted that he was a great Prophet the Son of God greater than Christ and hee should rise three yeares after his death and restore the Kingdome of Israel Menonists called of Menon a Frisian by whose name the Anabaptists were generally called as if all their other denominations had been lost and buried These foureteen are named by Astedius Mr. Bullinger in his first book against Anabaptists nameth others as some of them under pretence of childish innocency played many odde pranks one having kept his excrements in store many dayes powred them out in the street and turned himselfe naked into them saying unlesse we be made like little Children we cannot enter into the kingdome of heaven Others for the same reason would ride upon sticks and Hobby-horses like children in great companies and women would run naked with them and then in pure innocency they lay together and so in the end it proved childrens play indeed Servetians a blasphemous kinde of Anabaptists so called of Servetus a Spaniard whose Heresies are set down by Prateolus Bullinger and others he called the baptisme of children an horrible abhomination he would not have them baptized before they were thirty yeares old This Servetus denyed the Deity of Christ and was burnt for his blasphemous opinions October 27. in the yeare of our Lord 1553. at Geneva Libertines who make God the author of sinne and deny the resurrection of the body against these Mr. Calvin hath written a Treatise Bullinger telleth us of divers sotts of Anabaptists called Liberi vid. sup Denkians a sort of Anabaptists of which Denkius was chief who taught that the Devill and wicked men should be saved This Denkius was converted by Oecolampadius Minister of Basil. Semper Orantes who would alwayes pray and neglect all other duties Deo relicti Anabaptists that relying onely upon God refuse all meanes that God hath appoynted Monasterienses or magnificent Anabaptists so called because of their bravery under their King Iohn who added many things unto the hodgepodge of their errors as the having many wives which he pretended to receive from the heavenly Father and it was no burthen for a man to have never so many in Munster they being provided for out of the common stock They put away barren women and women past children as good for nothing and committed them to Curators to keep whereas they had many wives yet it was accounted a great offence for one wife to looke distorto vertu but awry upon her sister wife yea accounted a capitall crime Yea at this day they have a new crotchet come into their heads that all that have not beene plunged nor dipt under waters are not truely baptized and these also they re-baptize And this error ariseth from ignorance of the Greek word Baptize which signifieth no more then washing or ablution as Hezychius Stephanus Scapula Budaeus great Masters of the Greek-tongue make good by many instances and allegations out of many authors In holy Scripture it is used generally to wash Luke 11. 38.
