M. and are to be sold in Popes head Alley 1646. A relation of Heresies describing the Original Ring-leaders of the same the time when they first bgan to spread with a discovery of those described in our times and first of the Jesuits THE Originall of these was one Loyola a Spanish souldier they beare the name of Jesus but came from the Devil the Father of Lyes This Order was confirmed by Paul the third Bishop of Rome in Anno 1540. Their Errours are many but the chief are these viz. 1 They presumptuously arrogate to themselves the name of Jesus a name above all names and their chief generall equall with Christ 2 These chiefly maintain the Popes temporall power as well as his Spiritual whereby he may depose Kings 3 They deny the oath of allegeance 4 They do not teach it to be lawfull to murther Christian Kings but meritorious also 5 the Jesuits teach and maintain that the Pope only is Jure Divino a Bishop that all others hold from him Socinians Socinianisme was so named from Lelius Socinus in Master Calvins time his opinions broached by letters First concerning God 1 That there is no naturall knowledge of God whereby to instant men to acknowledge or beleeve the Deity 1 That the Incarnation of Christ is repugnant to reason can no way sufficiently be proved out of Scripture 3 That Christ is not truly God and that the belief of his Divine nature is not agreeable to Scripture 4 That Christ did not by his death satisfie for our sins 5 That the Holy ghost is not God 6 That it is repugnant to the word of God to believe three persons and one God 7 That man in the state of innocencie was not created in originall righteousnesse 8 That the old Testament is not necessary for a Christian man though it may be profitably read Arminians So called from James Arminius of Leydon in the Low countreys in the year 1605.

One Bartholomew Legate and the April following one Edward whightman burnt at Litchfield for the same Adamites Of this Heresie Saint Augustine makes mention 1 They call the place of their meeting Paradise 2 They pray heare and celebrate the commnion naked according to the similitude of Adam before his fall But more lately practised by a Piccard in Bohemia that came out of the Low countreys and professed himself to be the Son of God he taught this sect to go naked and to call him Adam terming him and his Sect freemen and all the rest slaves that weare clothes Libertines that would abolish the Law The authour of these by Pontanus is described to be one John Agricola who spread this opinion in the yeare 1535.
