A32802	The rise, growth, and danger of Socinianisme together with a plaine discovery of a desperate designe of corrupting the Protestant religion, whereby it appeares that the religion which hath been so violently contended for (by the Archbishop of Canterbury and his adherents) is not the true pure Protestant religion, but an hotchpotch of Arminianisme, Socinianisme and popery : it is likewise made evident, that the atheists, Anabaptists, and sectaries so much complained of, have been raised or encouraged by the doctrines and practises of the Arminian, Socinian and popish party / by Fr. Cheynell ...	Cheynell, Francis, 1608-1665.	1643 (1643)	Wing C3815; ESTC R16168	87,143	88

Armininians in that great point of Predestination they oppose the Reformed Churches in their doctrine about originall sin the Socinians have taught them to deny that Infants are conceived and born in sin and this is the true reason why they deny Baptisme to infants though I know they urge many other reasons to colour the businesse no man need to wonder that Baptisme of Infants is neglected by all those who deny originall sinne Pelagius of old about the yeare 420. said that it was a vaine thing to imagine that the sinnes of infants were washed away by Baptisme because they have no sin at all and therefore Heaven was set open to them The Anabaptists in the conference at Franckendale maintained that Infants were born without originall sinne nay without the least spot of sinne and therefore there was no need of their being washed in the Laver of Regeneration The Socinians tell us that Originall sinne is a meere fable a fancy They that can goe no farther then English may read a book of Free-will Predestination the first transgression subscribed in the Epistle or Preface after this manner Your brethren the Anabaptists falsly so called But I beleeve the reason why the Anabaptists are complained of at this time is because they are disobedient to Magistrates for it is commonly said that they have lately taken up Armes in rebellion against the King I must confesse I have wondred often when I have heard of this dayly complaint because I know that an Anabaptist doth not think it lawfull to be a Cutler he thinks no sword ought to be made because he conceives it unlawfull to use a sword It is well known that the Anabaptists goe to Sea without any Ordnance in their ships that they travaile without any sword by their side But if there be any fighting Anabaptist in these days I suppose the English Socinians have taught the English Anabaptists to deny those principles in practise which they maintain in dispute Who are so active in all Counsells of warre at Oxford as men that are shrewdly suspected for Socinianisme If they deny this truth their letters which are dayly intercepted will testify to their faces that they are not true to their own principles Yet I commend the Chaplaines for their Designe they would fain seise upon mens goods without force or violence and therefore they tell the people that they ought not now under the Gospell to fight for the defence of their goods and if they could perswade the people to be Anabaptists in this point then these Reverend Troopers and meek men of warre might seise upon all the peoples goods without force of Armes and so be as true to their Racovian principles as the Racovians themselves they might robbe without weapons a whole parish might be plundered by one Sermon as well as by two troopes if the people were but throughly instructed in or as we say beaten to this Conscientious slavery All the spoile of a whole towne would lye no heavier upon the conscience of one of these Chaplaines then a reare egge upon his stomack for they are not ashamed to affirme that God hath not given his people any earthly goods or possessions under the Gospell and therefore plundering is not robbing they doe but take that from men which God never gave them Mr. Webberly in the third chapter of his Treatise tells us that God hath not given his people any earthly possessions now under the new Testament they must not regard earth but look after heaven this is they say the Court-Divinity but sure the Rationall Lords that have such vast possessions should not be much taken with these raptures if they be it were good for the Lords to turne Chaplaines or step into a Cloyster and let their own Chaplaines be Lords in their roome How the Court-Chaplaines will maintain this Doctrine and not be as Anti-Monarchicall as the very Anabaptists I professe I know not they might have done well to have excepted the Crown-lands They were wont to preach at the Court that the Subjects have nothing of their own but by this doctrine they will leave the King nothing of his owne sure they mean to have all to themselves They must say that our King lives under the new Testament they will grant him to be a Christian and therefore he must not regard earthly possessions c. The King may perceive by this what good friends he hath at Court Nor doe they stick to question the Authority as well as the possessions or Revenues of Kings The Anabaptists as disobedient to a Parliament as to a King any person or Court which hath power to fine or imprison is by them denyed to be a godly person or a Christian court It was one of the Seditious lawes enacted by that lawlesse faction at Munster Magistratibus ac Principibus nullus subjiciatur The Socinians and Arminians think themselves as lawlesse The * Arminians say that they can willingly beare with one that conceives it unlawfull for a Magistrate to punish any Delinquent with capitall punishment though he doe not embrace this opinion out of tendernesse of conscience but only because he hath been trained up in it from his youth You see the Arminians give faire quarter to the Papists and Socinians if any man hath been nursed up in this opinion they will beare with him though his conscience be not tender They excuse Socinus in the same Chapter and say that many honest men were of this opinion before Socinus was born The Arminians and Socinians make a King of clouts and put a wooden or painted sword into his hand to affright children for they say that he must not draw bloud no not in a legall way for capitall offences The * Arminians foresaw this consequence and are content to let it passe they will not alter the confession of their faith to avoid this inconvenience In the confession of our faith say they we use none but this generall expression the power of the sword and forbeare to mention any capitall punishment because say they we doe not require all that embrace our confession to maintain that Magistrates have power to inflict capitall punishments whereby it appears that they doe plainly equivocate even in the confession of their faith or rather the declaration of their opinion Non fidei nostrae confessionem sed sententiae declarationem exhibemus they use generall and slippery termes and teach all their Sectaries the Socinians and Anabaptists need no teaching how to slip their necks out of so wide and loose a collar Reverend Iunius shewes that the Arminians teach their Sectaries to blot the name of any Prince or Magistrate out of the number of Christians and make him an Infidell if he punish the greatest offenders with death in a legall way Doe any Reformed Divines maintain this seditious tenent which will certainly ruine any State where it is generally received Did Melanchthon Bucer Calvin Beza Bullinger ever preach such doctrine nay
