Primer is for the most part transcribed out of Kellams Manuall presantly after his Kalender where he describes the vse and reason of these Ember weekes the Paralelling of which together with his Prayer for the Dead which I haue already touched vpon I purposely omit for feare of being two prolixe since I haue here as I suppose su●ficiently euidenced the trueth of this Assertion by the premises and present Paralell which I meane not now to enlarge That both the forme and matter of these Deuotions are transcribed and extracted out of Popish Authors Primers Chatechismes and Prayer Bookes not out of the Prayer Booke of Queene Elizabeth or our Common Prayer Booke in which there are no such passages to be found Now the reasons which induce mee more strongly to susp●●t that our Author borrowed both the forme and matter of these Deuotions from Popish Authors as the present Paralel doth abundantly testifie are chiefely two First because the Author hath for sundry yeeres together Monopolized and bought vp for his owne priuate vse as I am crediblely informed all sorts of Popish Primers Prayer Bookes Chatechismes Breuiaries and Pamphlets whatsoeuer of which he hath great store and yet hee is alwayes inquisitiue after more Secondly because hee hath caused sundry of his Popish Prayer Bookes Primers and breuiaries to bee bound vp in a very curious and costly manner with guilded leaues and Couers stamped sometimes with a Cr●sse or Crucifixe other times with our Ladies Picture and Iesus ●●her armes all after the Popish forme as his owne Booke-binders haue certified mee which doubtl●sse hee would neuer doe did hee not admi●e affect and prise these Bookes and Pamplets in his heart and likewise make some vse of them both in his priuate practise and Deuotions and his publike writings as hee here hath done But passing by the fourth I come now vnto my fift Conclusion That there are diuers Popish falsities absurdities and abuses of Scripture in these new Deuotions Not to trouble you with many I will onely single out some three or foure As first His seuen deadly sinnes to wit Pride Couetousnesse Luxury Enuie Gluttonie Anger Sloth for which hee quotes as the Papists out of which hee did transcribe them doe Galat. 5. in the margent Now if you looke into Galat. 5.19 20 21. the Text which hee quotes you shall finde not seuen but seuenteene deadly sinnes particularly expressed to wit Adultery Fornication Vncleanenesse Lasciuiousnesse Idolatrie Witchcraft Hatred Variance Emulation Wrath Strife Sedition Heresies Enuying Murthers Drunkennesse Reuilings and such like besides so that our Author hath committed a treble absurditie and abuse of Scripture in this one particular First in mentioning onely seuen deadly sinnes when as the Text doeth speake of seuenteene whereby he pares and clips the Scripture Secondly in producing this Text to warrant these seuen deadly sinnes when as sixe of the seuen to wit Pride Couetousnesse Luxurie Gluttonie Anger and Sloth are not so much as mentioned here whereby hee sophisticates and peruerts the Scripture Thirdly in mustering vp these inferiour sinnes as the most capitall and greatest sinnes of all others not mentioning Idolatrie Heresie Adultery Witchcraft Vncleanenesse Sedition and Drunkennesse to which I might adde Atheisine Infidelitie Contempt of the Gospel Blasphemy Sacriledge the Profanation of the Sacraments Oppre●sion Iniustice in Courts of Iustice Murther Periury Bribery Ecclesiasticall and Temporall Simonie the Onely step and doore to Honour and pr●●erment both in Church and State in this our Golden age farre greater sinnes then any of the former seuen which is but a meere extenuation and slighting of these greater sinnes But our Author cannot bee content with this vnlesse hee likewise wilfully incurre another Popish absurditie which he grounds vpon the selfe-same Chapter For recording the twelue fruites of the holy Ghost to wit Loue Ioy Peace Patience Mercy Goodnesse Long-suffering Meekenesse Faith Modestie Shamefastnesse Sobri●tie which he tooke from Popish Authors hee quotes in the m●rg●nt Galat. 5. for proofe of this Arithmeticall computation which as it failed by Substraction in the enumeration of sinnes so it offends in Addition here For Saint Paul Galat. 5.22 23. enumerates but nine fruites of the Spirit Loue Ioy Peace Long-suffering Gentlenesse Goodnesse Faith Meekenesse Temperance against which there is no Law whereas Patience Mercy Modestie Shamefastnesse and Sobrietie fiue of our Authors tw●lue Fruites are not so m●ch as named by the Apostle and Gentlenesse Temperance two of the Apost●es nine are not recorded in our Authors Catalogue which is a grosse abuse a wreathing and peruerting of the Scriptures As our Authors Arithmetique hath fa●led him in the fruites because hee cast vp his reckoning with Popish counters so it hath likewise cheated him in the gifts of the holy Ghost which he makes seuen 1 The Spirit of Wisedome 2 and Vnderstanding 3 The Spirit of Councell 4 and Ghostly strength 5 The Spirit of Knowledge 6 and Pietie 7 The Spirit of a holy and godly feare for which hee quotes Esay 11. Now Esay 11.2 makes mention but of sixe or rather three Attributes or operations not gifts of the Spirit The Spirit of the Lord saith he speaking of Christ Iesus shall rest vpon him The Spirit of Wisedome and Vnderstanding The Spirit of Councell and Might The Spirit of Knowledge and of the feare of the Lord Loe here you haue mention onely of sixe or rather three operations effects or Attributes not gifts of Gods Spirit For the Spirit of Wisedome Vnderstanding Councell and Knowledge are Sinonimaes and vary more in phrase then substance so that in trueth here are but three distinct gifts or operations of the Spirit at least there are but sixe and of these the Spirit of Pietie which the Papists and our Author annex vnto the rest is none So that this Scripture is plainely abused by our Author not onely in stiling these the gifts which are rather the Attributes and operations then the gifts of the Spirit but likewise in adding one vnto their number Indeed if our Author were as well studied in the Scriptures as in Popish Authors hee might haue found Saint Paul enumerating not seuen but nine gifts of the Spirit For to one saith he is giuen by the Spirit the word of Wisedome to another the word of Knowledge by the same Spirit To another Faith by the same Spirit to another the gift of Healing by the same Spirit To another the working of Miracles to another Prophesie to another discerning of Spirits to another diuers ki●des of Tongues an eminent and frequent gift of the holy Ghost which our Author mentions not to another the interpretation of Tongues Loe here nine seuerall giftes of the Spirit mustred vp by the Apostle in three files or verses of one Chapter How Popish absurd and do●ing then is this our Author who giuing more credit vnto Papists then Saint Paul would reduce them onely vnto seuen and so ecclipse the Grace and Bounty of the holy Ghost which
