A93596	Englands vvarning by Germanies vvoe: or, An historicall narration, of the originall, progresse, tenets, names, and severall sects of the Anabaptists, in Germany, and the Low Countries: continued for about one hundred and twenty years, from anno 1521. (which was the time of their first rise,) until these dayes. VVherein is set forth their severall errors dangerous, and very destructive to the peace both of church and state: the way and manner of their spreading them: the many great commotions: (yea,to the effusion of much blood,) which they occasioned in those parts, by their opposition to, and resistance of the civill magistrates; and what course there was taken for the suppressing them. / By Frederick Spanhemius, Doctor, and Professor of Divinity, in the Vniversity of Leyden in Holland. Published according to order.	Spanheim, Friedrich, 1600-1649.	1646 (1646)	Wing S4798; Thomason E362_28; ESTC R201224	43,736	52

expresse words For the same reason Peter Ioannes Moyoerus will have the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or the same essence hissed out in his conference with Daniel Radeus 2. About the externall forme while because of their ignorance and unskilfulnes they will have us adhere to the common Translations of the Scripture in our mother tongues and not to compare them with the Originall and contend that the Orthodox Teachers ought not to have recourse thereunto So in the conference of Embden the Anabaptists urged that three persons should be proved them in expresse words out of Luthers Translation and because the Name Jehovah was not found there they would not be pressed therewith 3. While they thrust upon us for sound the interpretation of their owne Teachers especially of Nicholas Biscer which is many waies corrupt as by divers conferences had with them appeares The Second kind of Errours spreadeth it self very far abroad to wit which they erre about those doctrines of Faith and Ordinances 2. Errors against the doctrine of Faith and Ordinances taught in the Scripture which are drawne out of the Holy Scriptures which for better distinction sake we shall distribute into things to be beleeved and things to be done and these latter either in a publique estate or private life Things to be beleeved we shall pare 1. into those things which they will have beleeved concerning God 2. Those which they will have beleeved concerning the Mediator between God and man 3. Those which they will have beleeved concerning man himselfe and that either in the state of integrity misery restauration or his estate after this life Things to be done we divide also into those which they thinke ought to be done and observed of the whole Church in common or of every member in particular and those either publique as in the policy the civill Magistrate and in the Church those which dispence the Ordinances or private as are the rest of the faithfull This generall Anatomy containes under it almost innumerable heads for as one errour begets another and one absurdity being granted many more follow so hath the same hapned to the Sects of the Anabaptists A whole Sea of Errours have flowne into the Christian Church and by one a step made unto another since the Anabaptists would have place given to their Enthusiasmes and dreames like as the same hapned in the Church of Rome when they once had let out their streames of unwritten Traditions Although we would have observed that there is great difference between the Sects of the Anabaptists which either have been of old or are found at this day and some of them erre more grievously and dangerously others lesse Neither were of old all the same opinions maintained by them all nor are at this present but some of their Tenets are defended by them all some by many some by certaine of them onely wherefore we will not have all laid to the charge of every one of them but intend only to shew how farre the licentiousnesse of those franticke men which have given their names to this Sect hath proceeded since they have departed from the Church of God and made Schismes and Divisions About the first generall head namely the things which they will have believed concerning God 1. Errours about things to be beleeved concerning God 1. against the name of God the Anabaptists offend 1. concerning the names of God 2. concerning his nature 3. concerning the persons of the sacred Trinity 4. concerning the Essentiall properties of God 5. concerning Gods decrees About the names of God they erre 1. By contemning the name Jehovah which denotes the Divine Essence and which God will have proper to himselfe alone supposing that it is not in the Scripture because t is not to be found in many of their Translations Colloq Embd. Confess of the Anabaptists 2. While they teach that the persons of the Sacred Trinity are called by the name of God rather for the dominion which they have then for that they have the divine nature Iacob Outerm in Articles 3. While they contend that the name 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. of the same Essence ought to be exploded as being both ambiguous and without the Scripture Idem in the same place and Confess of the Anabaptists Concerning the nature of God the Anabaptists offend 1. Negatively while they deny that the Father 2. Against the nature of God Sonne and Holy Ghost have one and the same Essence and affirmatively not only indefinitely teaching that there are divers but definitely making three Essences Jacob Outerm in Artic. Apology and Cornel. Cuyper in Apol. 2. While they distinguish the Essences of the persons by distance of place teaching that at Christs Baptisme the Essence of the Father was in Heaven and the Essence of the Sonne on Earth exclusively Jbidem 3. While they restraine the unity attributed to God to unity of Will Consent Doctrine Operation and Dominion like as two Kings are said to bee one which command the same things and as the Disciples of Christ and all the faithfull are said to be one Ioh. 17.21 Gal. 3.28 Iacob Out in Artic. Concerning the Persons the Anabaptists offend 1. While they hisse out the name Person 3. Against the Persons of the Godhead as fained and ambiguous Confess 2. While they maintaine that the Name of God is principally ascribed to the Father alone and that he is therefore called the only true God Iohn 17 3. Confess 3. While some of them leave it doubtfull whether the Sonne of God were begotten of the Father from Everlasting or that he is so called because he was foreknowne from Eternall and destinated unto us Yea Iacob Outerman plainly affirmeth that Christ was called God by the Prophets and is the Eternall Sonne of God no otherwise then because he was foreknowne for a Mediatour for us before the beginning of the World So Claes Claess in simpl prob teacheth that it is not clearely declared in Gods Word whether the Sonne of God before his Incarnation was another person then the Father 4. While the same man in the same place teacheth that we are not commanded to inquire whether from Eternal unto the Incarnation of Christ there were alwayes Three Persons indistinct as touching their Essence or not Nor ought we to enquire whether the Holy Ghost be distinct from the Father or no. Likewise they say that they divide not the Persons but confesse that the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost are indistinct nor is it taught in the Holy Scripture that there are Three distinct Persons Colloq Francothat and Embd. Concerning the essentiall properties of God they erre 1. 4. Against the essentiall properties of God While they deny the essentiall infinitenesse and omnipresence of God affirming that not the incomprehensible Essence of God doth fill heaven and earth but his divine power and gifts and that the former is falsly avouched Cuyper and Outerm in their Apologies Yea
