Honour to whom Honour belongs commanding all things to be done decently and in order Which is too neate a Doctrine for your nasty spirits God who is no Respecter of persons in matter of Iustice commands you not to disrespect persons by way of manners Diet for Princes and Pesants require severall dressings When Saint Paul said to that heathen King Agrippa Beleevest thou the Prophets I know thou beleevest have not you blasphemy enough to traduce the Apostle of a courtly lye I feare your Rabseka-spirit would have lent him courser language And as for the Benefice you say the Doctor insinuates in his Simile you might have charitably translated it into two or three Sequestrations and then it had been tolerable D. Burges And yet I would teach withall I meane the boystrous Multitude who ever prefer the rough Channel before the temperate shore and think no man preaches well in a Prince his Court but he that is so fierie and rude plaine as they call it as with his Thunder shakes the very house And if he cast no squibs in a Princes face or preach not like a Privy Councellor they say he hath no holy Fire in him Cal. How this temporizing Doctor still courts Preferment In his last Clause he Craftily insinuates for a Benefice and in this as grosly for a Court Chaplainship wherein he openly discovers how his silken Conscience stands qualified for such imployment being more ready to sowe Pillows under Princes Elbowes then denounce Judgments against their sins declaring himself a profest enemy against the boysterous multitude who love the rough Channell And who are they Even those Nathanian spirits that dare tell the King Thou art the Man and professing himself a Friend to such as love the temperate shore And who are they Even such as flatter Princes into the flames of hell A fit Doctor to consult and vote in the Assembly Repl. It is one part of the devils office Cal. to accuse man toman wch Office I fear you rather execute under him as his Child then usurp from him as a Stranger Gods servants must wear Gods livery Meeknes They must reprove with wisdom sobriety mildnes especially the sacred persons of Kings God was more in the still voyce then in the thunder Squibs taunts and Raylings are none of Gods wayes but love temperance and moderation If your house have a slaw or an unsound pillour will you straight fire it and not rather prop it and by degrees strengthen it for after service Gods fire that appeared in the bush gave light but burnt not But your Zeales have no patience demolishing and consuming even from the Cedar that growes in Lebanon to the Hysop that is upon the wall If such fire become the Assembly then take out Burges and put in Peters D. Burges If men dislike a Book in this Age their Censure is usually It hath no salt in it A discourse of this nature should have salt good store for all sacrifices must be seasoned with salt So is this but intended to season onely not to fret any unlesse by accident Cal. But if salt hath lost it's favour wherewith shall it be seasoned So hath yours Doctor Your Sacrifice then will quickly stinck You are a very bad Phisition for the soul Your kichen Phisick for you have no other were good to keepe a healthfull soul in a good state But when feavors of lust dropsies of drunkennesse plurisies of Blood faint fits of Lukewarmnesse c. accost the soul your seasoned Brothes will faile sometimes the disease will require vomits purges phlebotomy cautherizing scarifying cutting c. But I feare your end is rather to cure your own defects then your patients distempers Repl. I fear Cal. some of the Doctors salt hath fretted your chapt fingers which perchance you strive to wash out with your own vineger which so much troubles you you name some diseases in others but forget your own both acute and chronicall the cardiaca passio the tumour of the spleene the petulancy of the tongue the Cold Fits of uncharitablenesse The first second and fourth of these are inward and habituall and I feare incureable but for the third the Beadel of Bridewell will be your best Phisitian D. Burges Thus have you my Apology if it be one as a smal skreen to hold between you and the fire if you think it be too big or too neare and that it would heate you too much Cal. Doctor Your Apology is as needlesse as your work Your Fire whereby I take it you meane your Zeale newly discovered is but an Ignis lambens or as rotten wood shining in the dark Or if it be a true Fire it is but of Juniper which rather serves to perfume a princes chamber then to warme a Christians heart and so dul that it requires rather a paire of Bellowes then a Sk●eene Repl. I hope Cal. It is not such a fire as yours called Ignis fatuus which entices poor soules wandering in the dark to breake their necks But as you have excellently although against your will tearmed it a fire of Iuniper No perfume sweeter no Coales hotter This Juniper fire sends up sweet perfumes of Comfort to the broken heart and contrite spirit but threatens the fiercest of Gods Iudgements to the Rebellious and impenitent soule Here Reader be pleased to pause a while and to understand our Calumniator hath done with the Doctors Preface intending now to set upon the body of the work it self wherein he undertakes not his Task progressively but selectively whether he drives at one subject collecting what he findes scattered through the whole book or whether his wit can onely daunce after a Pipe of that nature I cannot resolve you You have it as I found it This I perceive by his stragling Method that it was leape yeare in his Braynes as well as in his Kalender And so we begin againe The Fire of the Sanctuary uncoverd D. Burges cap. 3. pag. 39. lin. 13. It had not been lawfull for Elijah to put those Idolaters to the sword if he had not been able to plead speciall Commission from God as he did Cal. Take heed Doctor you run not your selfe out of the Assembly into Ely house What speciall Commission had our Parliament to do the like Yet how many thousand more have perisht by the sword at their Command Are not they wise and truly religious and holy Merchants for Gods Glory and blessed Agents for our Kingdomes Reformation And would they do such an act and stand guilty of such a Fratricide so horrible a slaughter had they not a Warrant for it Come Doctor It is wisdome to retract and change a misopinion It is a good bargaine to change for the better and get 400. l. per annum to boot and God knowes what be sides Repl. You ride Cal. upon the surer horse as the case stands now Take heed of the Kings plunderers The Parliaments Authority is inscrutable and too great a mistery for a private mans

the righteous have Gods power and may touch them nay and scourge them too But I feare your Zeal burnes now onely to light your Doctorship to a Deanery What you meane by Salamanders I know not Repl. You professe Ignorance Cal. in the beginning and ending of your learned speech and discover Treason in the whole Body The first Ignorance you professe is of an Vtopian spirit wherein I thus informe you It is a fanaticall spirit even your owne spirit by which you pray Nonsense by the houre preach Treason by the halfe day and ejaculate blasphemies every minute Your last ignorance is of the Salamanders wherein I thus instruct you They are the fierie spirits that dwell within your flaming bosomes by which ye murther under the pretence of piety rob by way of Religion and fling dirt in the face of Majesty by colour of zeale No wonder Cal. those spirits are unknowne to you when ye know not of what spirit ye are As for the body of your speech we leave it to the judgement of Authoritie D. Burges But here 's a flame that will lick up all angry wasps and inflamed tongues that presumptuously and without feare speak evill of dignities and of things they understand not railing on all not so free as themselves to foame at the mouth and to cast their froth on all that are neare without difference Cal. This your Flame Courtly Master Doctor lights us to understand that your saintly Patrone had then some remarkable Living in his Gift or power to make you one of the Kings Chaplains in ordinary strengthned with the hopes whereof you thus magnisie dignities that is Kingship Lordship and Bishopship And I am verily perswaded if Amaleck or Esau whom God cursed were in being your linsy-woolsy Zeale would endeavour to vindicate them from that Curse Or if Caiphas the High Priest were placed in office here you have a Pensill to paynt his Wall white enough for Paul to curse Repl. Cal. I feare you are one of those angry wasps the Doctor's Zeallicks up and his Pen now above 19 yeares old discoverd your nest being a faction now in power and prophesied of above 1500 yeares since whose mal●pert sawcy and slovenly Tenets were well known to him to be the Ivie of the true Orthodox and Primitive Religion whose ambitious and fiery spirits hating all Government both in Church and State casting their foame and froth in the face of Majesty and Hierarchie without respect of honour or place his conscience enlightned and instructed by the holy Scriptures hated with a perfect hatred and used his best meanes to suppresse and quench D. Burges in his Preface My sharpnesse against some Democraticall Anti-Ceremonians is not meant to weak Consciences joyned with pious sober and peaceable courses Cal. Marke whilst this sharp Doctor would boast of a vertue called Moderation he turnes Advocate to that detestable sinne of Lukewarmnesse As if he should have said My sharpnesse against the enemies of Popery extends not to them that are not too active and zealous of Gods glory Doctor this Fire will hardly make your Pot boile Rep. Mark how this bitter Calumniator acts his owne part to the life at one breath both wresting the words and wronging the person And how it offends him whose glory is to set weak Consciences upon the Rack to see another fearfull of offending a weake Conscience Cal. This Zeale will make your pot boyle into the Fire D. Burges But I speak to such as keep a frantick coyle about Ceremonies and think they never take their levell right but when with every bolt they shoot they strike a Bishops Cap sheire off his head and yet are more fantasticall ignorant proud self-will'd negligent and deceitfull in their particular Callings then many whom they despise and condemne to Hell for carnall men forsooth as any observing eye may easily discerne Cal. So Master Doctor I now call both the Parliament and the whole Assembly of Divines to witnesse you are either a Malignant or a Turnecoate When you reade this clause remember your own late Votes and tell me what Mettle your Conscience is made of Tell me now in sadnes Doctor Are they ignorant proud self-willd negligent and deceitfull in their Callings that inveigh against Ceremonies forsooth that endeavour to strike off a Bishops Cap forsooth Once again I say remember your own Votes and blush Nay if with the Satyre you can blow hot and cold with one Mouth you are no Divine for me forsooth Repl. You triumph Cal. too much before the victory and crow too considently upon your owne Dunghill I justifie the Doctor in what I know you condemne him in what you know not What his Votes were or how or when made it matters not to me but his opinion declared to all the world proclaims him no lesse then Orthodox I look upon him as a Divine absolutely not as an Assembly-man relatively The Satyres hot breath warmed his fingers which else had been too cold The Satyres cold breath coold his Breth which else had burnt his lips The first was Breath The last but Winde D. Burges Touching the Carriage of Zeale towards Princes my CONSCIENCE witnesseth with me in the sight of God that I have spoken nothing but what in my judgement is the Truth without sinister or base intents Cal. This Clause stands like a Pander to keep the doore till you have committed your spirituall Fornication within and to anticipate your beleeving Reader whilst you basely flatter Princes wherein you have engaged your Conscience and attested God concerning that your opinion we shall hereafter understand which in his due place you shall not faile to heare of Repl. How like a snarling Cur you gurne before yee bite Cal. as you have acted your first part in shewing your teeth so anon we shall expect your second part in clapping your tayle betwixt your legs and shamefully running away D. Burges Nor doe I touch on that presuming to teach my Betters but rather as men use to do when they go for Orders or a Benefice to give accompt Cal. Doctor It is the property of Dogs to baule at Beggers or Inferiours who come empty Isanded but to fawne upon their Feeders and wag their flattering tayles at those from whose well furnisht Trenchers they expect some scraps No you presume not to teach your Betters Tell me Doctor who sent you Whose Embassadour are you Come you in your own name It seemes you do He in whose Name you should come knowes no betters The Truth is Christ sext you but Antichrist from whose surrogates you had your Orders signed your Commission Christ sent you to Preach and Antichrist bad you take a Benifice by the way which speaking to your Betters you here craftily insinuate in your Simile Iesuites beg not but point yee where the Box stands Repl. Your sawcy Impudence Cal. Votes Modesty a vice and rudene●se Zeale Our blessed Saviour sayes Give unto Cesar those things that belong unto Cesar and Saint Paul
