Such as despise the Word of reproofe and will not be reformed Pro. 1. 24 25 28. Therefore if we looke that God should heare our prayers let vs vnfainedly repent of sinne and depart from iniquity First from Atheisme which is the denying of a God either secretly or openly We depart from this iniquity when we renounce Atheisme and doe know and acknowledge that there is a God They that come to God must beleeue that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seeke him Heb. 11. 6. The second is Gentilisme which is the acknowledging of many false gods and the taking of them for God which are no gods We depart from this iniquity when we protest against Gentilisme and do know acknowledge but onely one God and the same also the true and euerliuing God The third is Turcisme which is the profession of one God euen that God which made Heauen and Earth but not as he hath manifested himselfe in his Word nor acknowledging God in Christ We depart from this iniquity when we detest this Turcisme and when wee know and acknowledge God in Christ reconcyling the world the Trinity in vnity and the vnity in Trinity as he hath made himselfe manifest vnto vs in his holy Word The fourth is Iudaisme which is the seruing of the true God after the ceremoniall law of Moses reiecting Christ the true Messiah already come and vainely expecting another to come We depart from this iniquity when we disclaim saluation by the law and doe know and acknowledge Iesus Christ to be the true Messiah by whom we looke to be saued seruing God in spirit and truth according to the doctrine of the Gospell The fift is Will-worship which is vnder what shew and pretence soeuer a volūtary worshipping of God in and by such meanes as man inuenteth either against or without the warrant of Gods own reuealed will in his written Word We depart from this iniquity when wee forsake our owne wisedome and wills in his worship and doe know and acknowledge how wherein and after what manner God hath commanded himselfe to be worshipped then do strictly obserue the same The sixth is Heresie which is an obstinate maintaining of any error to the ouerthrowing of any fundamentall point of our Christian profession We depart from this iniquity when wee willingly disclaime our errors when they be made knowne to vs and when we know and readily acknowledge the verity and truths of God according to our measure of knowledge giuen vnto vs. The seuenth is Schisme which is an vncharitable disvnion and an vnlawfull separation from the true Church of Christ or any true member of the same forsaking the fellowship of the Saints wilfully in a factiousnesse of spirit making vnlawfull assemblies within and among themselues We depart from this iniquity when wee condemne such an vnchristian diuision and doe know and acknowledge the true congregations of Gods people abyding with them keeping among you the vnity of the spirit in the bond of peace The eighth is Prophanenesse which is to liue vnworthy the holy profession of a Christian after the liberty of the flesh not respecting religion for the pleasures the profits and honours of this present euill world but in comparison of these valewing nothing of religion being the children of Belial children of disobedience and wrath By whom Christianity is stained and God himselfe greatly dishonoured We depart from this iniquity when we deny ourselues flie from the company of such hauing no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse but reprouing them rather and endeuoring to liue godly righteously and soberly in this present world being zealous of good workes The ninth is Hypocrisie which is the shadow onely of piety and shew of wel-doing before men without any power or conscience of religion before God in the heart seruing the times and making profession of religion for aduantage We depart from this iniquity when we hate this sinne and doe take dayly an examination of our hearts by a well informed iudgement setting our selues before God and making conscience the Iudge of all our doings so as wee dare appeale to the Alseeing God of Heauen concerning our vprightnesse in that which outwardly we make shew of The tenth is Papisme which is mans superstitious inuention a counterfet Christianity vnchristianly Iudaizing and wickedly imitating the heathenish idolaters teaching old heresies and the professors thereof practising by Machiauillian policies all deceit trechery treason and mercilesse cruelties to vphold the same We depart from this iniquity of the bottonlesse pit when wee disclaim that Antichrist of Rome as the Head that Romish Church as now it stands as the whore of Babylon and being come out from her shall zealously vphold and maintaine this truth and faith which wee now stand in vnto the end which God grant Amen Thus we see these ten heads of iniquity to which may be referred all other sinnes which wee must depart from and all the particular branches thereof if we euer draw neere vnto God with hope to be heard of him for he is a God that hateth wickednesse and if in our hearts wee delight in it the Lord as the Psalmist speaketh will not regard vs. And therefore vvhen vve come before our God let it be in vnfained repentance faith and assurance of Gods mercie to be accepted in Christ Iesus in vvhom our God is euer vvell pleased to vvhom be Glory and Prayse for euermore Amen FINIS
