A84134	A brief discovery of the blasphemous doctrine of familisme, first conceived and brought forth into the world by one Henry Nicolas of the Low Countries of Germany about an hundred years agoe; and now very boldly taught by one Mr. Randall, and sundry others in and about the citie of London. Whom multitudes of people follow, and which doctrine many embrace. The summe or briefe whereof is on the other side of the leafe set downe.

Therefore he doth so delude with that deceit 2. Whosoever shall teach and perswade that such as are baptized with the baptisme of the holy Ghost have from thenceforth nothing to doe with the Law nor with the baptisme of repentance which John preached but away with the Law and away with John Baptist from such a one doth herein pervert the straight way of the Lord not onely in denying the baptized with the baptisme of the holy Ghost the use of the Law of God to delight therein and serve the same in his minde as Paul saith Rom. 7. but also in rejecting the estate of a repentant broken contrite heart whereof the Prophet Esay speaketh saying Cast ye up cast ye up prepare the way take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity whose name is Holy I dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of a contrite and humble Spirit to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the hearts of the contrite ones Esay 57.14.15 The repentant contrite heart being it which the holy Ghost purgeth and cleanseth comforteth and reviveth daily and the baptisme of repentance and the baptisme of the holy Ghost being the parts of the new birth from above wherein he that is born anew walketh and goeth on daily weeping and yet rejoycing dying and yet living sowing in teares his pretious seed in an assured hope one day to reap in joy and come to a Citie and Kingdome promised But Mr. Randall doth so teach and perswade as is aforesaid Therefore he therein perverteth the straight way of the Lord as doth H. N. the Arch-Familist 3. Whosoever shall teach and perswade that the things spoken of by Paul 1 Cor. 51 52 53 54 55 56 57. are to be attained and fulfilled now in this present time in those that are baptized with the ho-Ghost doe thereby make Christ to be already come the second time to such without sin unto salvation according to Heb. 9.28 Death to be swallowed up in victory as 1 Cor. 15.54 according to Hosea 13.14 The sting of death which is sin to be quite taken away And all the great and eternall promises to bee already fulfilled in them and so destroy the hope of the Saints as touching the personall comming of Christ in his glory to judge the quick and the dead and of the resurrection of the bodies of the Saints and of the kingdome glory and life everlasting of body and loule hereafter to come which the Scriptures so much speak of and all the Saints assuredly look for But Mr. Randall as well as H. N. the oldest Familist doth so teach and perswade Therefore he as well as H. N. doth hereby destroy as much as in him lieth the hope of the Saints And so the whole charge is fully proved 4. Whosoever shall teach and affirme that every creature in the first estate of creation was God because they were made by the word of God doth therein teach and affirme a very erroneous and blasphemous thing But Mr. Randall doth so teach and affirme Therefore c. And although as I confesse he said mistake me not I doe not say the creature is the Creator neither doe I say Man is God that were blasphemy for man is vanity yea a lie yet did not Mr. Randall hereby contradict his first doctrine for if I should ask him and say Did God by his word make vanity or a lie No doubt he would answer and say No. What is that man then which hee calls a lie and vanity Doubtlesse he means man in his fall and so the creature though he denieth it to be the Creator yet he denieth it not to be God no more then he denieth the Word or Sonne of God to be God because he is not nor can be the Father This Mr. Randall counts not blasphemy but I affirme it is Neither because the Father the Word and the holy Ghost is one God are the Saints which are baptized with the holy Ghost therefore God also Neither because they have the holy Ghost dwelling in them doe they therefore know all things as God knoweth all things as Mr. Randall taught and affirmed according as H. N. hath done 5. Whosoever shall presume to turn the holy Writings and saying of Moses and the Prophets of Christ and his Apostles and the proper names persons and things mentioned and contained therein into allegories and give them out to be the mystery and spirituall meaning of the same The holy Ghost in the writings or sayings of Moses and the Prophets of Christ and his Apostles having not so done nor left any rule or direction for it doth therein presume above that which is written and so addeth to and taketh from the sayings writings and prophesies of the holy Scriptures and deceiveth the people themselves also being deceived But Mr. Randall as well as H. N. hath so done as by the Sermons of the one and the printed books of the other compared together may appear Therefore And so Sir not to mention every thing delivered by you against which just exception may be taken wee desire you to consider of these things and to give us your answer in writing And beleeve us we have not the least thought of raising persecution against you as you perhaps or some other may think nor of wronging you any kind of way onely our desire and end is that the truth may bee known unto us all and that we should not delude nor be deluded And so I rest your Christian friend John Etherington These were given to Mr. Randoll by the said Mr. Cullumbeam but hee returneth no answer nor will as some that are of his hearers and inward with him say as from himselfe And now to the end all men may see that Mr. Randall is not wronged in the forementioned charge I will here set down the own words of H.N. with his quotations as they stand printed in his book intituled The joyfull Message of the Kingdome As first in his Preface where he hath these words COnsider on the time O all yee people which love the truth of Jesu Christ Presently in this day of the love and of the appearing of the comming of our Lord Iesu Christ in the resurrection of the dead wherein the Law Esay 65. 1 Cor. 15. the Prophets and all what is written of Christ becommeth fulfilled And in Chap. 1. he hath these words H.N. Through the grace and mercy of God and through the holy Spirit of the love of Iesu Christ raised up by the highest God from the death Iohn 6. Act. 17. Eph. 2. Rom. 8. Ephes 4. Ioh. 14. Apoc. 21. Iohn 1. 1 Iohn 1. Ier. 33. 1 Cor. 13. Apoc. 14. Esay according to the providence of God and his promises anointed with the holy Ghost in the old age of the holy understanding of Iesu Christ Godded with God in the Spirit of his love made heire
