PVT ON THE WHOLE ARMOVR OF GOD that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breast-plate of righteousnesse and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace Above all taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the Devil And take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God Praying alwayes WITH ALL PRAYER AND SVPPLICATION not with common or Canon prayer alone to which too many now confine themselves and others watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints Col. 13. 12 13 14 15. PVT ON therefore as the Elect of God holy and beloved bowells of mercy kindnesse humblenesse of mind meeknesse long-suffering forbearing one another and forgiving one another if any man have a complaint against any even as Christ forgave you so also do ye And above all these things PVT ON CHARITY which is the bond of perfectnesse and let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body and be ye thankefull Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdome teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord And whatsoever ye do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God and the Father through him The putting on of all these Evangelical WHITE sacred garments the using of such Church prayers and musick in all Cathedrals Collegiate and Parochial Churches by our Bishops Ministers Deacons and others and the abandoning all Papal unevangelical illegal dangerous Oaths of Canonical obedience from Ministers to Bishops not warranted by Law or Gospel thus censured inhibited by the whole second Council of Cavailon under Charles the Great about the year 812. cap. 12 Dictum est de quibusdam fratribus quod eos quos ordinaturi sunt Iurare cogant quod digni sint contra Canones non sint facturi et obedientes sint Episcopo qui eos ordinat Ecclesiae in qua ordinantur Quod Iuramentum quia periculosum omnes una inhibendum statuimus which Oaths are now rigorously inforced against his Majesties Declaration and Petition of Right 3 Caroli to support these superfluous Vestments and Ceremonies will throughly reconcile all dissenting Parties but a period to all future controversies concerning the premises and make us all the Temples of the living God who will then say I will dwell in them walk in them and will be their God and they shall be my People Prov. 25. 2.

or administer the Lords Supper Sixthly The Disciples who saw him thus clad never imitated his white garments while they lived much less should Bishops and Priest who never saw him after their decease without warrant from Christ the Angel or Disciples The self same Answer serves to the Objection from Acts 1. 10 where two Angels in the shape of men stood by the Disciples in WHITE apparel whiles they behold Christs ascention into heaven and spake the words there recorded to them which Waldensis Durantus and others impertinently alleadge for the use of long white Surplisses vestments or Rochets of Bishops and Priests in the Church 5. The Fifth Text produced is that of Rev. 3. 4. Thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments and they shall walk with me in WHITE for they are worthy Ergo Bishops must wear white Rochets and Surplisses in time of Masse and Divine Service Acute Logick worthy of laughter rather then reply For 1. These few persons in Sardis were neither Bishops nor Priests these words being not spoken to nor of the Angel of the Church of Sardis whom our Bishops and Prelatists will needs have to be the sole Bishop of that C●urch but to others Therefore if any argument may be hence deduced for the use of Rochets or Surplices it is that Lay Saints who have not defiled themselves with sins corruptions of the times but kept themselves undefiled must wear Rochets and Surplices not temporizing Bishops or Priests 3. They are promised hereafter to walk in white with Christ in heaven and that by way of reward witnesse ver 5. He that overcommeth the SAME SHALL BE CLOATHED IN WHITE RAYMENT and I will not blot his name out of the book of life but I will confesse his name before my Father and his Angels not commanded to say Masse or common-Common-Prayer in the Church on earth by way of duty ministry or distinction from other Saints 3. The white garments here meant are only the robes of eternal glory in heaven not white Rochets lawn sleeves or material Surplisses as the abusers of this Text pretend and must acknowledge 6. The sixth Text produced for Surplisses and Rochets is Rev. 4. 4. And round about the throne were twenty four seats and upon the Seats I saw twenty four elders sitting CLOATHED IN WHITE RAYMENT and they had on their heads crowns of gold Ergo Bishops must wear white Rochets Miters of gold and Priests white Surplisses The sequel is denyed 1. Because there is no Bishop but only Elders mentioned in the Text. 2. These Elders are but twenty four and they only had white rayment 3. They sate in heaven upon Thrones in their white robes not in any Church or Cathedral on earth 4. They sate constantly in those white vestments and never did put them off 5. They had no other rayment on them but these white robes Therefore all Bishops and Priests if they will be like these Elders and pursue these presidents must wear no black doublets cassocks gowns cloaks Wastcoats but only white Rochets Surplisses as they did 6. They sate in them upon Thrones and had all crowns of gold upon their heads If this then be a president for our lordly royal Prelates and Clergyes punctual imitation they must all sit upon thrones with golden crowns on their heads like Kings as well as with white Rochets Surplisses on their backs like Prelates and Priests which I presume they yet dare not do and his Majesty with his Nobility will not now suffer should their pride and ambition prompt them to it 7. The seventh president insisted on is Rev. 6. 9 10 11. Where St. John saw under the Altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held c. and WHITE ROBES were given to every one of them If any consequences can be hence deduced they are only these 1. That those Saints and Laymen who suffer martyrdom for the word and testimony of God on earth shall have white robes not of fine linnen but of eternal glory given them by God for a reward in Heaven Not that Bishops and Priests alone which were never slain nor martyred for Christ and none else but they must now wear white Rochets and Surplisses on earth 2. These Souls lay interred crying to God from under the Altar to avenge their blood on them that dwell on the earth therefore they are no presidents or warrant for Bishops or Priests to wear Surplisses or white Rochets when they officiate at or upon their new erected Altars and dispence Christs Body and blood sacramentally to their people in their Cathedrals and Parish Churches 3. These white robes were not material ones made of ●awn or linnen by semstresses nor bought with money but spiritual and heavenly made and freely given unto them by God himself therefore Bishops and Priests who contend for material Rochets and Surplisses from this Text must now quite renounce them and produce some better proof 8. This they presume to do in the eighth place from Rev. 7. 9 13 14. cha 15. 6. and cha 19. 14. which I shall couple together to make the proof more strong After this I beheld and a great multitude which no man could number of all Nations and kindreds and people and tongues stood before the throne and before the lamb CLOATHED WITH WHITE ROBES and palms in their hands And cryed with a loud voice Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb c. And one of the Elders answered saying unto me what are these WHICH ARE ARRAYED IN WHITE ROBES and whence came they And I said unto him Sir thou knowest and he said unto me these are they which came out of great tribulation and HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES and MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB Therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his Temple c. And the seven Angells came out of the Temple having the seven plagues CLOATHED IN WHITE and having their breasts girded with golden girdles And I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse and he that sate upon him was cloathed in a vesture dipt in blood and his name is called the Word of God And the Armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses CLOATHED IN WHITE LINNEN FINE AND CLEAN Ergo Bishops and Priests ought alwayes to wear white Rochets and Vestments in time of Mass Sacraments and Divine service Can any wise men or fools either forbear laughter at such a ridiculous conclusion from these premises as Durantus Walden with other Papists and some of our own Prelates and Ceremony-mongers deduce from them with great seriousnesse but little candor and sobriety Especially if they well consider 1. That those arrayed in white Robes Rev. 7. 9 13 14. were not Bishops Priests or Ecclesiastical persons alone or under any such capacity but a great number which no man could number
