A93702	Rome ruin'd by VVhite Hall, or, The papall crown demolisht: containing a confutation of the three degrees of popery, viz. papacy, prelacy, and presbitery; answerable to the triple crowne of the three-headed Cerberus the Pope, with his three fold hierarchies aforesaid. With a dispelling of all other dispersed clouds of errour, which doth interpose the clear sun-shine of the Gospel in our horrizon. Wherein the chiefe arguments each of them have, for the vindication of their erronious tenents are incerted, and refuted; with a description of such whem [sic] the true Church of Christ doth consist of: as also how, and by whom, they may be gathered, and governed, according to the will, and appointment of Jesus Christ, and his apostles, in the primative purity thereof. / By Iohn Spittlehouse, assistant to the Marshall Generall of the Army, under the command of his Excellency, the Lord Generall Fairfax. Imprimated by Theod. Jennings, and entred in the Stationers Hall.	Spittlehouse, John.	1649 (1649)	Wing S5013; Thomason E586_2; ESTC R203633	304,213	396

thereof although he knoweth that it tendeth to his owne ruine and perdition SECT 3. NOw seeing they thus faile in their foundation what can be The Papists foundations infirme expected concerning their building seeing they faile in their Principles what may be expected in their Consequences seeing they faile in proving the Supremacy of Peter over the other Apostles how farre will their lord god come short to justifie the wearing of a triple Crown of Gold and the rest of his Pontificall Vestments being farre more fit for a Stage-player then a Minister of the Gospel I wonder what Scripture he hath for the wearing of such like toyes unlesse as I said he derive them from Aarons garments which the most ignorant know that they were but Types of Christ and are also abolished by Christ as that Anti-christ of Rome very well knoweth but where doth he read of a triple Crown which Peter wore he may be ashamed to abuse the world with such fopperies as that it was left by the Apostle Peter and that it is yet to be seen in Peters Church and that Silvester shewed it to Constantine which he said Peter used by the instinct of the Spirit that the verity might be answerable to the figure viz. that Christs High-Priests might weare that which the High Priest the Figure of Christ did weare SECT 8. NOw who that is in his wits will beleeve that Peter did weare a triple Crown of Gold who had not sometimes a penny in his purse Act. 3. 6. as also in that his Lord and Master The glory and Crown of the Apostles was crowned with Thornes I blush therefore to see men so stupid as to beleeve that the Apostles used such worldly pomp whose glory was their poverty and the contempt of the world their Crown and suffering and if there had been any such Crown it had rather belonged to Paul then Peter for he was the Apostle of the Gentiles the other of the Circumcision Againe if that be Peters triple Crown which is to be seen in Saint Peters Church why doth his Holinesse refuse to weare it but rather make use of a Massie triple Crown of Gold and precious Stone and as for Aarons Crown it was a Type of Christ and not of the Pope and temporall things doth not prefigure temporall one triple Crown another but that outward Crown did shadow forth that Spirituall Kingdome and regall dignity of Christ SECT 9. LEt all the world therefore take notice what subtill and devillish The Popes subtilty inventions this Instrument of Satan useth that he may still delude the world and continue in his worldly pomp and glory and the better to bring the world to his bend he termeth himself a Servant of Servants which his Claw-backs say he assumeth as a signe of great humility which he cunningly ●●sinuateth from the words of our Saviour Mat. 20. 26. He that will be great amongst you let him be your Servant and thus doth he wrest the Scriptures to his owne end but it will speedily appeare that like another C●iphas he proficieth of the destruction of his owne kingdome and that he will very suddenly become a servant of servants indeed as Canaan was yea and become a servant to them that served him Againe his insolency is intollerable in that he thinketh scorne to be reproved yea though he should send ten thousand soules to Hell yet none must say why doest thou so SECT 6. Object WHat need is there of reproving him seeing he cannot erre Answ The Pope is farre inferiour to Aaron who erred by The Pope ●●rre inferiour to Aaron or Peter who erred making the golden Calf and though he was appointed of God and elder brother to Moses yet did Moses openly reprove him at the least I hope he will not challenge to be superiour to Peter who erred in denying his Master Mark 14. 68. 70. 71. as also by dissimulation whereof he was openly reproved by Paul Gal. 2. 11 c. His unparalleld presumption appeareth also in taking upon him to forgive sinnes yea to have God at his command for in case a man sinne and crave pardon of God and he forgive him it is to no purpose unlesse his holinesse doe the like for the Lord hath ingaged himself to the Pope that whatsoever he doth remit on earth shall be remitted in heaven but the Popes Holinesse hath not done the like to God by which means he forceth the ignorant people to a composition as did his Brother Judas by a quid dabitis What will you give me so that he hath not only man at his command but he hath also got God upon the hip as we use to say forgetting the saying of his cousen Germen the Scribes end Pharisees Mark 2. 7. which may very justly be attributed unto him viz. Why doth this man thus blaspheme who can forgive sins but God only SECT 11. Object VVHat difference is there betwixt absolving and remitting of sins Ans Absolution implyeth a forgivenesse of sins by Authority The difference betwixt Absolution and Remission of sin● remission only by way of Declaration wherefore the latter may be permitted to men but the former only to God for if man could forgive we need not aske pardon from God but how should a Man forgive anothers sins who cannot forgive his own true they may absolve by preaching sins in generall but not apply their absolution to particular men because they know not whether their repentance be sound or hollow for God only knoweth the heart of man and therefore is only able to forgive the sins of men Mark 2. 7. CHAP. VII The seventh Chapter treateth of Transubstantiation with a confutation thereof SECT 1. THe next thing which I will insist upon is their detestable Heresie of Transubstantiation by which they say the Sacrament of bread is converted into the reall Body and blo●d of Jesus Christ in which he was conversans here on earth and in which he was crucified yea that they eate his very Flesh and gnash his very Bones in their teeth like so many Caniballs or Man-●aters and that after the words of Consecration there remaineth not so much as the substance of bread but only the meere accidents and qualities of it yea that it is substantially and really the Body and blood together with the Soule and Divinity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that under each kinde and under every part of each kinde whole Christ is comprised and that it is not so whilst it is taken but before and afterward in the consecrated peices reserved and remaining after the Communion and that all Communicants both bad and good doe eate the very naturall Body of Christ Obj. Doth not our Saviour say in plain termes that if we eate not the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood we have no life in us and that whosoever eateth his flesh and drinketh his blood hath eternall life and he will raise them up at the
