of purity in faith verity in doctrine seuereness in behauiour innocency patience and such like spirituall complements And these are as much contemned in others by the Antichristian Rabble as they are neglected in themselues whereas their externall pomp on the contrary side is as much despised by the Lord as it is magnified in their fleshly and carnall imaginations The Lord direct vs in his own waies and call home such as wilfully or by ignorance haue gone astray that at length they may bee reduced to the sheepfold of Christ Iesus to whom with his Father and the blessed Spirit be praise for euermore Amen FINIS L. 12. confess c. 25.

A TREATISE OF THE Perpetuall Visibilitie AND Succession of the True CHVRCH in all AGES AT LONDON Printed by HVMâ—REY LOVVNES for ROBERT MILBOVRNE 1624. TO THE READER KIng Salomon the Mirror of wisdome who digged deepest into the richest Mines of diuine and humane knowledge exhorts others to search after that which himself had found in such abundance and he sets an edge vpon our desires by promising If thou seekest after her as for siluer and searchest for her as for hid treasure then shalt thou finde the knowledge of God c. Of so pretious a Talent when wee haue found any parcell wee ought not to hide it in a napkin much lesse to bury it in the bowels of the earth by concealment or suppression for Veritatem celare est aurum sepelire To conceale the Truth is to burie gold and therby to depriue not only others but our selues also of the benefit and vse thereof Wherefore Saint Austen sharply censureth such as would challenge a peculiar interest and propriety in this which is the true common treasure of Gods Church saying Veritas nec mea nec tua nec illius est sed omnium nostrum quos ad eius communionem publicè vocas admonens nos vt nolimus eam habere priuatam ne priuemur ea The truth is neither mine nor thine nor his but all ours in common whom thou O Lord callest publikely to the communion thereof dreadfully admonishing vs not to desire to haue it priuate lest we be depriued of it Now of all truth this day in controuersie there is none more sought after by some than the visibility of the true Church which retained the purity of the Apostles doctrine vnmixed with dregs of errour and superstition especially in the gloomy and dark Ages before Luther As for higher times and neerer the Apostles such was the clarity and splendour of the pure Church that in a manner it obscured the Sun But in succeeding and degenerating times after the number of the name of the Beast 666 it began much to be obscured and clouded with ignorance and superstition and in the thousandth yeer in which Satan was let loose and much more after euen till the happy reformation in these later Ages it was so eclipsed especially in the Western Parts of the world that some confidently affirm it was quite extinct The Woman clothed with the Sun hauing the Moon vnder her feet was now fled into the Wildernesse and had but a fewe Stars to discouer her By the conduct and lustre wherof yet many Wise-men follow'd her obscure track and found her Among whom the most reuerend religious learned and painfull Authour of this enfuing Treatise concerning The Visibility and Succession of the true Church deserueth to bee named in the first rank who hath more particularly and perspicuously trauelled in this Argument than any in our English Tongue It was the manner of the Heathen Race-runners after they had finished their course to deliuer a Lamp or Taper to the next Runner Semblably whereto this Christian Antiquary shewes vnto thee how the noble Worthies of the Christian world and Fore-runners of our faith after they had finished their course deliuered the Lamp of their doctrine from one to another as to omit other former-bearers of this Light Bertram to Berengarius Berengarious to Petrus Bruis Petrus Bruis to Waldo Waldo to Dulcinus Dulcinus to Gandune and Marsilius they to Wicklef Wicklef to Hus and Ierome of Prague and their scholars the Taborites to Luther This Treasure of Antiquitie falling into my hands and finding it hard to come-by I thought fit to publish it and make it more common that so all that loue the truth might cleerly see in it the perfect Image of their Mother the true Protestant Church partly blubbered with tears partly smeared with bloud by the cruelty of the Man of sinne and his Complices in former Ages About which dolefull Image we may fitly write these words of the Prophet Micah for a Motto Reioyce not against me O my enemy when I fall I shall rise when I sit in darknes the Lord shall be a Light vnto mee Such a Light hee hath been Before and In our daies and Henceforth will bee according to his promise til he shall dispell all darknes and consume the Man of sin with the Spirit of his mouth and destroy him with the brightnes of his Comming Euen so come Lord Iesu come quickly A TREATISE OF the perpetuall Visibilitie and Succession of the true CHVRCH WEE teach that as from the beginning long before the Incarnation of Christ God euer had his Church yet sometimes more visible and glorious and sometimes more contracted and obscured so since the appearance of our Sauiour at all times infallibly and without exception there haue been chosen children of God who haue retained his faith and calling vpon his name haue studied to expresse their knowledge in their life by retyring themselues both from the loose conuersation of Libertines and the profanation of Idolatrous persons Neither euer was there any of our profession which did teach or write the contrary But wheras the Synagogue of Rome layes it downe for a fundamentall Rule that this Church hath been and must bee in all ages a visible and conspicuous Congregation at the least consisting of an apparant Hierarchy so that at all times a man may poynt it out and may repaire thither as to a matter eminent yea and in a sort pompous too or to say as Stapleton speaketh when he doth most extenuate it It is euermore visible in respect of her Gouernours and Sheepheards but most of all for the Pope or cheife Pastor thereof To which Pope Bellarmine assigneth that he cannot erre in iudgment and to the people and Cleargie of Rome where this sensible Church must principally be that they cannot erre with a personall errour so that all altogether erre we therein doe dissent from them and maintaine that although when the godly are most driuen to extremities by Heresies or persecutions they bee visible each to other and acquainted with some other brethren who are in like case with themselues yet they are not so apparant to other men as that at all times they know where to find Assemblies and Congregations of them But that the Bishop of Rome and his Pontificall Clergie should haue the face of the Church tyed and inseperably ioyned vnto them wee can in no sort yeeld but doe disclaime it as a flattering tale suggested to that Bishop by such parasites as are about him and from time to time doe depend vpon him And that it may bee seene what reason we haue of this our assertion wee first shew that the estate of the faithfull was frequently so before the comming of Christ. For when it lay as hid in some fewe persons within the single Families of the old Patriarks before and after the Floud what great boast could there bee made of it Nay
