are a Seditious Sect that teach the Doctrine of Devils forbidding Meats and to Marry 1 Tim. 4. which the Spirit did say expresly should come in the last times who speak Lyes in Hypocrisie having you Consciences seared as with a hot-Iron that you a●e hardned in your Wickedness Seducing Spirits Doctrine of Devils For Moses was a Priest and Aaron was a Priest and were Married and the Prophets and Apostles had Wives and Marriage was Go●s Ordinance and Christ established it in the new Covenant wherein he saith Whom God joynes together let no man put assunder So here it is clear Christ the High-Priest made higher then the Heavens confirms Gods Work which is Marriage being his joyning and therefore do not you give liberty to Brothel-Houses and Baudy-Houses and Uncleanness And then you have need of a Purgatory 8thly You are a Seditious Sect for you have erred from the Cross of Christ which is the Power of God and therefore have you set up Wooden Crosses and Stone and Brass and Silver and Gold And how many Hundred Years after Christ were those outward Crosses invented And where did ever Paul or Peter or any of the Apostles set up a Wooden Cross And speak if you dare Let us see your Antiquity And how many Hundred Years after Christ got up that Seditious Sect forbidding Priests to Marry and setting up places to put Women in and vowed them and swore them to Chastity And how many Hundred Years after Christ was it before they made a God and a Christ of Bread and Wine Come out of your Holes and Dens and answer us in the Light if you dare And try your God and your Christ that you have made of Bread and Wine See if you will be as Bold as Baals Priests for they tryed their god before the Prophet Come let us see what this seditious Sect can do with all their Arts Can you make him Speak Is he a Living God that will not be found Asleep And will not your Gods grow Corrupt and Mouldy And is it not a Work of mans hands which you call people to Worship Yea your Fists of Wickedness and Bloody Hands which have been embrued and washed in the Blood of the Innocent with those hands have you not made your God and Christ of your Bread and Wine And therefore I say come out and try them we will have a Bottle of Wine and a Loaf of Bread and it shall be cut in two pieces and the Wine in two Basons and let the Pope and his Cardinals and Friars and Munks with all their Bloody Fists make a God of part of the Wine and part of the Bread and when they have done we will set them in a Cellar with part of the Wine and part of the Bread which is not consecrated and we shall try quickly whether their God will not Mould and their Christ will not Dye that is consecrated and their consecrated Wine grow sower and dye Come shuffle us not off for we will have them locked up in a Cellar with six or seven Locks and have a Watch on our side and another on yours and try if your God and your Christ that is made of Bread and Wine do not Corrupt and do not grow Mouldy and your Wine doth not grow Sower and Dye then we will all turn to you and say that you have made a God and Christ by your Art and then if your God and your Christ you have made of your Bread and Wine do grow Mouldy and the Wine Dye and Sower your Bread Mouldy that you have consecrated you shall all turn to us and acknowledge your selves to be a seditious Sect that have been Deceivers of the people this thousand Years We do challenge you dare you the Pope his Cardinals and Jesuits to come forth and try and bring your God out all you God-Makers and Christ-Makers of the Popes Crue and Company the Lord calls for you to come out of your Holts who have been a company of Blood-thirsty men who have mingled your invented and idolatrous Sacrifices with the Blood of the Innocent Pilate like a seditious Sect erred from the words of God and from Christ Jesus the Head of the Church and therefore you have invented a Head a counterfeit Head of your own making which is not a Catholick Head but a Seditious Head full of Sedition which fills the Body to the brim you are full of Hypocrisie to the very brim and full of Envy and Blood-thirstiness to the brim and full of Murder to the very brim your Actions your Doings your Works your Fruits speak it and declare it to all Nations about you But Christ Jesus he is the Head the Cathelique Head the Universal Head the Catholique Church is Living Members made and of Living Stones a spiritual Houshold sanctified by him and washed and purged and cleansed by the Living Head Christ Jesus who is the same to day yesterday and forever 9thly You are a Seditious Sect as erred from the Power from the Spirit of the Apostles and Christ Jesus and from the Righteousness the fine Linnen which is the Righteousnes of the Saints and of Christ Jesus and therefore you have set up your Surplices and your white Coats who have lost your fine Linnen which is the Righteousness of Christ Jesus and are more like Actors of Stage-Plays and M●un●ebancks then Preachers of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ●n all your Fools-Coats and the Pope and his Cardinals Fools-caps Keys and Crowns Where do you read in the Scripture or new Testament of Master Paul or Mr. Peter or Mr. Timothy or Mr. Titus or Mr. Matthew or Luke c. or my Lord Timothy or my Lord Titus or Peter or my Lord Bishops we challenge you to make this good out of your own Scripture let us see some proof for your Ambition and Pride who are puft up with Titles and take the Titles that belong to God Almighty to your selves contrary to Elihu who said If I give flattering Titles to men my Maker would not regard me and contrary to Christ Jesus and in despite of Christ Jesus who saith You have one Master and you are his Brethren It is very clear that you are a Seditious Sect and Schism and are rent from the Body and the Head both and therefore you are a Seditious Body It is you which make so many heads and christs and then say Lo christ is here and lo he is there and your Seditious people run to christ-Makers and god-Makers or your idol-Makers Indeed the Heathen Priests made gods which were no Gods and therefore in Spain and France and Rome and Ireland and Portugal and other places how many gods have you And how many christs have you made in all these parts and christ-makers And then he is here and there Lo here and Lo there Antichrist against Christ We know that the Devil will rage at this And how much Blood have you shed number up the Persons because
