bee good and vertue to bee evill except shee would sinne against conscience Likewise in offering incense to the Saincts in generall sweareing by them praying and vowing to them which are partes of Divine worshippe Doe they not commit vile idolatrie And in worshipping of images forbidden so clearlie and frequently in Gods word whether it be with relative terminative or conterminative worship in all these they prove idolaters Further their Idolatrie doth manifest it self in worshipping Saint Christopher the three imaginarie Kings at Culen and others who never had life breath nor being as their Saint Longinus whom ignorance hath canonized transforming the speare that pierced Christs side called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 into Longinâ—â—s a religious Latine Saint What credit is there to be given to their forged reliquies let any man judge when the heads and bodies of Saints parcels of the crosse nailes and speares that pierced Christ have exceeded and daylie do exceed their just number and quantitie Neither are they inferiour in idolatrie to the prophane Gentiles who were aliens from the common-wealth of Israel without GOD without hope for as they had tutelarie Gods for the protection of nations cities places and Gods for averting of evils and curing of diseases as also for conferring all manner of benefites So also in the Romane church they have their tutelarie saints for nations cities places for curing of diverse diseases and conferring of benefites Finally as the Samaritans did worship that which they knew not and the Athenians did erect an altar to the unknowne GOD so also in the sacrament of the Lords body they worship and know not what they worship whether bread or the body of the LORD for seeing the change of the body of Christ dependeth upon the Priests intention as they affirme and they being uncertaine of his intention do worship and know not what they worship whether bread or the body of Christ To conclude one of their cheif schoolemen Vazquez confesseth that they have no Scripture for the worshipping of images and is further bold to say that they may worship lawfully upon ignorance the divel lurking under the crucifixe Therefore that we be not partakers of her spirituall whoordomes and idolatries and thereby receive of her plagues let us come out of Babylon As to the fift and last sin moving God to powre out the vials of his wrath upon Rome is her corrupt doctrines and heresies for shee is loaden not with one heresie only but heaps of heresies For clearing of this heresie is to be considered materially and formally A materiall heresie is an erronious doctrineâ— opposing and everting the saving grounds of religion A formall heresie when a doctine everting the saving grounds of Truth is maintained with obstinacie Materiall errours was received into the Church of Corinth when the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead was called in question The like befell the churches of Galatia when circumcision and the works of the law was thought necessare supplements to Faith to make up our justification before GOD Yet because these foresaid errours was not defended with obstinacie the maintainers were not formally hereticks But in the Romane church doctrines everting Ground trueths are defended with obstinacie and the opponents persecuted with fire and sword wherefore shee is justlie charged with heresies and that both against faith and the dueties commanded in the law as followeth It is an hereticall doctrine maintained in the church of Rome with obstinacie that the Scripture is unsufficient for salvation and is but a partiall rule of our Faith seeing according to the Divine Apostle Paul It is able to make us wise to salvation and perfect to every good work It is more hereticall then this to affirme that their church traditions which are uncertain shall equall the written Word of God given by divine inspiration There is a third hereticall doctrine that surpasseth the two former that the last resolution of our faith shall not be grounded upon Gods Word but upon the church that is according to their glosse upon the Pope who only as they misbelieve is priviledged from all errour It is an hereticall doctrine which teacheth Christ to be offered up 〈◊〉 in an unbloudie sacrifice for the expiation of sin under the bare speces of bread and wine being repugnant to the eternitie of Christs Priesthood who liveth for ever repugnant to the perfection of his sacrifice by reiteration repugnant to his Majestie who hath entered into the heavenly tabernacle in glory and is not any more Priest on earth repugnant finally to his merit which being in it self infinit is redacted to a finite worth and measure at the pleasure of every Messemunging-priest It is an hereticall and arrogant doctrine which teacheth man by the merit of condignitie to deserve life everlasting seing when we have done all we can we are unprofitable servants and when we have suffered what is possible to us these momentanie asslictions are not worthie of that infinit weight of glory layed 〈◊〉 for us in Heaven And seing the righteousnesse of the most just as David Esay and others can not stand before God it is an hereticall doctrine and preiudiciall to salvation to place our justification before God in our owne maimed inherent righteousnesse It is a Divine trueth that there is no name under Heaven to be saved but by the name of Christ Contrare to this is that heretick doctrine of the Romane church that the merits intercession and bloud of Saints and Martyres are mixed as satisfactorie for our redemption with the bloud merit and intercession of Christ The Scripture telleth us that man in his creation was made according to the image of God perfect in holinesse and righteousnesse The doctrine of the Romane church jumpeth with the heresie of Florinus which holdeth that God made the inferiour and sensuall part of mans soule with a propension and inclination to sin In the doctrine of Free-will besides the fond opinion they have in advancing immoderatly the libertie of the same they have fallen upon sundrie hereticall positions in extolling the power thereof for seeing man as saith the Apostle hath no aptitude in himself so much as to thinke a good thought and worse then that We are dead in sinnes and trespasses by nature and if worse can be yet our hearts are said to be meer stones Is it not then an heretical assertion that there is in us any active power to do good being in such a miserable condition Moreover such being our corruption that all the imaginations of our heart are altogether set upon evill and that without the holy Spirit we cannot say so much as the Lord Jesus Is it not an heretick doctrine which teacheth that man unregenerat and voide of the sanctifying Spirit may inact and produce a good morale work wherein there is no sin Further to averre not God but the will to determine it selfe
but in regard of us for though the authoritie of John the baptist the miracles of Christ the testimonie of one sent from the dead the voice of an Angell from Heaven and the voyce of GOD heard of the disciples in the Mouâ—â— were of themselves divine and infallible yet in respect of us as testifieth Peter GOD will have his word to be of a more certaine authoritie In it God hath judged and determined all contraversies and his decision registrate by the Prophets and Apostleâ— continueth to the end of the world and the duetie of the Kirk is to search out his decisive sentence conteined in the holy Scriptures and apply the same Our adversaries to â—id this divine authoritie of Gods written word have forged four deceit full rules Antiquitie Councels Traditions and the voice of the Church which being tryed shall be found no rules for the rule of faith must be infâ—llible these are not so the Phaâ—â—sees pretended Antiquitie which Christ rejected tradition which also he rejected the voice of the Church even of the doctors that sate in Moses chair the Lord bids the people beware of it calling it the Leaven of the Pharisees which he interpreteth to be the Doctrine of the Pharisees Shall they alleadge Councels Christ His Apostles and their doctrine were condemned in themâ— yea and even by the testimonie of our Adversaries these rules shall prove no rules The ancient Doctors and Fathers of the kirk have erred in many things which the Adversaries themselves confesse The like they affirme of Councels On traditions they never yet could agree And as for the voice of the Church which by their glosse and commentarie is the voice of the Pope it hath beene by many of themselves condemned for heresie Therefore let us come out of Babel least we be pertakers of her plagues By these plagues is understood her destruction which shall not bee speedie but a lent destruction and by degres as the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is a consumption importeth a Thess 2 till at last she be totally and eternally destroyed For as the mysterie of iniquitie did grow and advance by degrees so shall it fall by degrees It was conceived as holy Scripture witnesseth in the dayes of the Apostles it was quickned in the time of Victor and did stirre more powerfully under Stephanus and Cornelius bishops of Rome more yet under Damasus and others following most strongly did it move in the time near the birth under Leo the first It was borme and brought to the view of the World by Boniface the third upon whom the title of universall bishop was conferred by Phocas Emperour as a sythment and satisfactorie price for the bloud of his Master Mauritiâ—â— cruelly and treasonably shed This bruid of iniquitie did grow and was advanced much by the decay of the Greeke impire and donations of the western Emperours till at last it came to the full hight and maturitie in Hildebr and in whom the Antichrist was so visible that many of the Cleargie in France and Germanie and others did avow him to bee the Antichrist This destruction GOD shall bring to passe three wayes as Wee learne out of holy Scripture First by the sword of the Spirit 2 Thessâ— chap. 2. vers 8. Next by the sword of the Kings on Earth Revel 17. chap. 16 and 17. verse Lastly by the brightnesseof the Lords coming 2 Thess 2. 8. God also hath wounded her by the sword of the Spirit first in raising up the Valdenses against her of whom Frier Reinerius who wrote against them thus reporteth saying That they were of all the most pernicious sâ—ct for Antiquitie some holding they were from the Apostles time for generality there scarce being any nation where they are not And tastly for shew of piety in that they live justly before men and believe all things touching GOD aright and all the articles of the Creed only they blaspheme and hate the church of Rome By these Vaidenss the Romane beast gote so deep a wound that though by all meanes they laboured to cure the same yet shall it not bee cured but waxeth more and more incurable for the publick and open reformation begun by them did not so wound that Beast as the reformation by Wickleph who did more clearly espie and more sharply refure the Mysterie of iniquitie then others before him and that reformation by Husse made the wound yet deeper and after him by Luther and Zuinglius it was deepest of all so this wound is incurable And as the mysterie of iniquitie rose by degrees so doeth it fall by degrees Neither doth the article ' O help their cause as if the Antichrist were one singular man seing it is usuall in Scripture under one to comprehend many The woman in the Revelation cloathed with the Sun having the Moone under her feet though shee be but one representeth the Church which is a collective body and comprehendeth many So the Angels in every one of the seven Churches is interpreted by many collectively for many Pastors and Messengers of God And every one of these four beasts recorded by Daniel doth signifie not onâ— singular King only but a race of many Kings and Kingdomes as is clear by the 23. and 24. verses of the seventh chapter of Daniel Yea the Popes of Rome abuse the name of Peter pretending his name to all their usurped tyrannie Therefore it is that their large possessionm Italy are calleds Peters Patrimonie their Pole-money collected sometimes out of England Peters pence And their Plenâ—tude of jurisdiction they claime over the whole church Peters keyes and that one rocke in a popish glosse upon which they will have the church to be built is a lawfull succession of the Bishops of Rome which they affirme to have descended from Peter the blessed Apostle notwithstanding they be as far different from Peter in a doctrinall succession which is the only true succession as Cajaphas that condemned Christ was from holy Aaron first high Priest of the Jewish nation It may be haplie objected that many Bishops of Rome were godly and suffered martyredome for the Christian faith I answere that it is the antichrist and the antichristian Kingdome and not every person in that line that is appointed for destruction for what is recorded of Victor Lee the first and others who being tickled with the itch of ambition aspired to a supremacie over the church doth not argue them to be reprobates but men compassed with infirmities Who were building Babylon not knowing that they were building Babylon even as faithfull Gideon when he was making his Ephod of the ear-ring given him of the spoile of the Midianites was erecting a monument of idolatrie to the destruction of his house and knew not he was so doing So the Bishops in affecting Soveraignitie were ignorantly promoving the antichristian Kingdome which God appointeth to destruction Therefore Come of Babylon the
the same lyking better the Mosarabick and that of Isidorus then the Romane Liturgie The religious Votaries of Bangor resisted the Romane liturgie till blood and death What opposition was made against single life of Church-men in Germanie England and many other places it is notore to all that are not strangers in historie When images were received in the Kirk with a relative worship about the seven hundred year of GOD the Germanâ— and French bishops did resist the same and a Councel was holden by Charles the great in Germanie at Franksurd where images with their worship were condemned and the books yet extant called Libri Caroli magni do evidence the same A little after this there arose some disputes about the manner of Christs presence in the Sacrament when the seeds of Transubstantiation were in sowing Bertram stirred up by GOD did oppose the same The like did Scotus Erigena Rabanus and after these Beringarius till Pope Innocentius the third with his prevailing faction in the 1215. year of GOD did determine that monstrous errour of Transubstantiation A litle before this time Hildebrand bishop of Rome was not only content to liberat himself from the investure of the Emperours but also did subject the Imperiall crown to this Priestly mitre and thereby put the Christian world in a combustion which he effectuat not without great opposition even of the Cleargie for the Cleargie of Germanie did resist and many Divines did account him to be the Antichriâ—â— And in this his more then sacrilegious jurisdiction usurped over the Kirk of Christ in councels not only the Cardinall of Arles Sorbonists of Parise but the generall councel holden at Constans did oppose and condemne And in late dayes Valla Erasmuâ— Beatus Renanus with many others though they lived in the societie of the Romane Kirk did condemne many errours and abuses therein Besides these publick Opponents there were many thousand private Opponents who were as these seven thousand in the Church of Israel who bowed not their knees to Baal but if not openly yet secretly did oppose the same as Nicodemus lived amongst the Pharisees and Joseph of Arimathea amongst the Counsellours who condemned Christ and these who had not defiled themselves but followed the Lamb mentioned Revel 14. 4. There were thirdly many whose eyes GOD did illighten in the article of death who not finding any comfort in the intercession of Saints and doctrine of merits and therefore leaving these impure cisternes had their recourse to the living fountaines of waters which did spring out of the intercession and merits of Christ to the eternall refreshment of their souls If it bee replyed how the Romane Kirk being as we call an adulterous Church could beget Children to GOD as also being a false and corrupt Church how shee could bring furth Orthodoxe and true professors I answer An adulterous woman may bring surth Children to her Husband and to her Paramours as is evident Hos chap. 2. vers 2. Pleade with thy mother saith the LORD That shee put away her whoordomes from betwixt her breasts c. Here sons of GOD and yet their mother is an adulteresse Sons of GOD they are because they plead for GOD against their mother for her adulteries So an adulterous Kirk may beget children to GOD as also a false and corrupt church may beget true professors As the Jewish Church in the dayes of Christ for the leaven of the Scribes and Pharisies did infect the same and Christ commandeth his Disciples to beware of that leaven and yet to obey the Scribes and Pharisees as they sate in the chaiâ—e of Moses By their leaven Pharisees did poyson the soules of many to their destruction and sitting in the chaire of Moses teaching the Law of Moses and not their owne inventions did beget children to GOD. After this manner the voice of Christ and the voice of the Antichrist sounding in the church of Rome thereby children was begotten to Christ and the Antichrist Thevoice of Christ was heard in holy Scriptures written for our consolation the voice of the Antichrist is heard in his traditions The voice of Christ is heard in the administration of Baptisme and the Lords Supper the voice of the Antichrist in the administration of his five bastard sacraments The voice of Christ is heard in the saving doctrine of his merite and righteousnesse the voice of the Antichrist is heard in the doctrine of the merite and righteousnesse of man The voice of Christ is heard in the blood of Christ that speaketh better things then the blood of Abel the voice of the Antichrist in the forged satisfactorie blood of Martyres If it be demanded how in the Romane church the voice of Christ was known and distinguished from the voice of the Antichrist I answere That Gods children have a discretive judgement given unto them whereby they know the voice of Christ from the voice of the Antichrist My sheep hear my voice sayeth Jesus Christ and they follow me And this should not seeme strange for if the lambe amongst the bleeting of ten thousand sheep can discerne the voice of her mother much more the lambs of Christ Jesus can discerne the voice of their Father and Sheepheard Christ Jesus And since GOD hath given by a naturall instinct unto the beasts by smell and taste to discerne what hearhes are wholesome and convenient for their food and what noysome shall wee not think that GOD much more will enable by his grace and Spirit his owne children bought with no lesse price then the blood of his Son to discerne what is hurtfull what conduceable for their salvation Neither will it follow by any necessare inference that the Romane kirk is a true Kirk because by it children are begotten to God seeing this falleth out not properly but accidentally for Papacie tendeth not to beget children to Christ but to Antichrist Therefore obey this voice from Heaven and come out of Babylon The reasons to move us to come out of Babylon here mentioned are two her sinnes and her plagues for her sins Sins and plagues are copulative Who so sinneth shall bee plagued Therefore if we partake of her sins we shall partake of her plagues If it be asked what be these her sins I answere what sins do not reigne in her But passing the generall I will mention five sins in speciall for the which Babylon shall bee plagued and destroyed viz. Pride Crueltie Deceit Idolatrie Heresie Such is her pride that although there be besides her the Kirkes of Grece Syria Africa and Ethiopia which disclaime her power as Antichristian yet shee arrogantly usurpeth the title of the Catholick church as proper and due only to her when in effect shee is neither the Catholick Kirk nor a sound member of the same Pride also in a high degree possesseth all her Cleargie The meanest Priest is stiled as a Knight and the meanest Nunne as a Ladie of Honour Bishops and Archbishops are as Lords and
4. Senten that before the Lateran councell which was near twelve hundred years after Christ transubstantiation was no article of Faith In the Romane church the innocent person whether man or woman is debarred of the benefite of marriage after divorce This was not of old as is manifest out of Fathers Councels and Decrees of the bishops of Rome Was auricular confession thought to bee of Divine authoritie and necessare for salvation when Nectarius a learned and godly bishop of Constantinople did abrogate the same which also Chrysostome his successor did reject as unnecessare The like did after him Cassianus and in these our later ages Cardinall Cajetan â— Rhenanus and Erasmus Was the lording power of prelates over Presbyters received when they could determine nothing without their consent as is certaine out of Cyprian and the fourth councell of Carthage Why are Presbyters now debarred from a definitive voice in councell which they had and enjoyed in the Christian church for many hundred years As is manifest out of many Councels as the second holden at Rome and these of Eliberis Sinuessa the fifth Toletan and that late Councel of Constans as is related by AEnaeas Sylvius in that hote contest which was between Panormitan and the Cardinal of Arels Do not this day in the Romane church Archimandritae do not the generals of religious orders to this day voice in their Councels And both of them are but Presbyters no Prelats These and many mo pretended antiquities in the Romane Church are nothing but meer novelties As to the precise periode of time when every errour did enter into the Church it is not requisite to be knowne When the Scribes and Pharisees asked Christ Iesus of unlawfull divocre pretending antiquitie for the same Christ answereth no other thing but that it was not so from the beginning It is sufficient then for us though we point not out the precise article of time when errour did creep in into the Church that it was not so from the beginning as we have demonstrate If they reply that the precise period of time is known when Arrianisme Nestorianisme and other heresies had their beginning I answere though it hold in some it will not hold in all Who can designe the precise period of time of unlawfull divorce Who can designe the precise period of time of idolatrie The Jewes against the word sacrifized upon Mountaines but who knoweth the precise time The Saducees believed neither Angel nor spirit and the beginning of this damnable doctrine is not agreed upon The Scribes and Pharisees leavened the word of God with their traditions and inventions But the originall of these errours who can tell Laicks were deprived of the cup at the communion which is a breach of Christs institution The private and solitare communion of the Priest without the people used daylie in the Romane church is contrare to the word of God practise of the Ancients and Canons of Councels and who knoweth the beginning thereof The communion was given unto new borne children before the use of reason and was universally received and approven in the dayes of Cyprian and Augustine and who knoweth the originall of the sameâ— The custome of the church of old was first to enjoine repentance and after the performance of it to give absolution But now in a preposterous order absolution is first keeped then penance imposed to be performed afterward The beginning of this change who can tell There was hereticks named 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 because the source and fountaine from whence this heresie did spring was unknowne Shall we say that a man sick of a consumption is not diseased because we know not when his disease began The masse of errours wherewith the Romane Church is loadened is called a Mysterie of iniquitie because as a mysterie is dark they came in dâ—rkly And the good seed being sowen the ill One is said to have sowen cockle and darnell in the night Now as darnell and cockle while they are in the blade can hardly be discerned from wheat but in the fruit they are discerned of all so the errours of the Romane Church came in so maâ—ked and disguised that they were not perceived but when they came to the fruit and maturity then were they sensible to all that had eyes to see For clearing of this it is to be observed that three wayes errours have beene introduced in the Romane Church first Secretly next openly undercolour of law thirdly by force and violence Secretly invocation of Saints crosses images purgatorie the sacrifice of the masse authorizing of Apocrypâ— books and many other corrupt and erroneous doctrines these I say were brought in secretly and mystically by certaine degrees unknown at the first till they did show themselves in their owne colours when they came to the fruit and maturity Invocation of Saints had its originall from the festivall dayes dedicat to Saints first in the church of Smyrna for the commemoration of the martyrdome of Polyearpus bishop there but it did not stay at a bare commemoration of the death of the martyre and thanksgiving to God but this mysterie grew from a commemoration to publick banqueting in the annuall festivities of Saints and from publick banqueting to nomination in Church prayer from nomination to Rhetorick compellation and from that to invocation and consequentlie to idolatrie Likewise the signe of the crosse was used for a symbole of gloriation that Christians were not ashamed but did glorie in the crosse of Christ then it became impetrative as a virtuall prayer for sanctification thereafter operative for expelling of divels and diseases and from aeriall crosses they came to materiall crosse and from a relative worship of them to a terminative inferiour worship and from that to a divine worship Images was also first received as ornaments to beautifie the church thereafter as books to teach the unlearned then they became conduits only to convoy worship to the Samplate till at last they were adored Prayer for the dead is not founded upon scripture as Epiphanius against Aërius confesseth but upon tradition which often is deceatfull and ever uncertaine It was unknown to the apostles c their disciples and others succeding them who thought the souls to rest sequestrat in secret places expecting the second coming of Christ Afterward least the soule should seeme to be mortall and the Saints departed to be Gods as witnesseth Epiphanius they did broach this superstition which was advanced by a new conceit that the souls after this life did either reside in the outward porch of heaven before their entrie or if they were in heaven did not attaine at the first to the full fruition of God which made Augustine to pray for his father Patricius and others whom he affirmeth to be in the heavenly Hierusalem and if they were in the heavenlie Hierusalem why doth hee pray for them but that they might as hee thought come more speedily to
