See Mat. 19. 29. By SAMUEL RICHARDSON London Printed Febr. 25. 1645. Some brief CONSIDERATIONS On Doctor FEATLEY his Book intituled The DIPPER Dipt Section I. Doctor Featley his secret and haynous accusation of the honourable Parliament DOctor Featley under the colour of aiming at Anabaptists strikes the Parliament and secretly wounds them with his malignant pen in his Epistle to his friend hee complains of his corporall thraldome and that his pressures are unsufferable his person confined his estate sequestred his losses unvaluable his books and both his pulpits taken from him that his friends himself sought earnestly but could not obtain that liberty which Paul injoyed when he was in prison in Rome to preach the Gospel to his fellow-prisoners observe what doth he not say that the Parliament are hinderers of the preaching of the Gospel of Christ What are they worser then Heathen Emperours and Magistrates can they not be prevailed with to yeeld that the Gospel should be preached to prisoners c. O heavie charge It seems he hath a great mind to preach the Gospel but the honourable Parliament have had cause enough to fear that he would so mixe it with the leaven of malignancy till hee had so sowred it that all that should taste of it were in danger to be poysoned with it and so they did justly in hindring him from preaching such a Gospel as this is and in pag. 32. the government of Archbishops c. is not Antichristian contrary to the Ordinance of Parliament and nicknames them Brownists and Barrowists that hold so and in p. 214 215 216. he saith this kind of sacriledge we speak of whereby Churches and Churchmen are defrauded of their due is no better nor worse then robbing God and pronounceth a curse upon a curse to them what doth he lesse then charge the Parliament with sacriledge what punishment he deserves I leave it to them whom it concerns Also he saith p. 70. speaking of the Separatists and Anabaptists that the Magistrate who though by present connivence seems to give them line yet no doubt it is that they may the more intangle themselves and more easily be caught as if the Parliament ●ought to insnare any that are loyall to the State Suppose they conceive they are in an error how knowes hee but that their forbearance is out of a desire and hope that upon their better information they will gladly ●●forme what is amisse themselves considering that many of the Separation and Anabaptists are well known to be honest and conscionable men both towards God and man and concerning the Doctor when he reckoneth up the enemies of the State in his Epistle to Mr. Downam he doth not name the malignants to be any of them which declares he is not yet healed of his malignancy Sect. II. Wherein it appears that the Doctor is guilty of greater errors then to be dipped in the river DOctor Featley holds these errors viz. that Archbishops c. are not Antichristian p. 32. and that the Ceremonies of the Church of England are not Idolatrous nor Antichristian p. 32. that Baptisme is a means of salvation and p. 40 41 50. that it is the remedy of originall sin p. 41. that regeneration by water is to take away the filth of sin p. 41. that children of faithfull parents receive some measure of grace in their infancie p. 59. that there is no command or example that women took the Sacrament that the river is defiled by dipping a man or woman into it he saith baptizing of Infants began in the Apostles dayes p. 19. and yet no man can name the time when it began p. 52 53 66. which is so high a contradiction as no illiterate man can reach it also he saith that those children which cannot be taught may be made Disciples by their parents p. 39. or God fathers p. 57. and that children make a profession of their faith and repentance at their baptisme by these sureties p. 76. might he not as truly say that the faith of their parents or godfathers is given to the children and so it 's theirs illiterate men must of necessity refer these things to the School-men as Tho. Aquinas c. Also he saith that Baptisme is the entrance into the Church p. 23 46. 63. and hee that is cast out of the Church upon repentance must be received in again p. 29. then it seems he must be re-baptized else how shall he get in if it be the entrance so by the Doctors doctrine he holds re-baptizing which we deny and so he is an Anabaptist and not we also the Doctor saith that Christ is the Son of God not only in respect of his temporall generation but also in respect of his eternall generation p. 3. and that the Spirit is said to proceed from the Father because he proceeds from the Father originally and that the Spirit hath a dependence from both pag. 23. But if Christ as he was God had a beginning he could not be God if he had no beginning How can Christ as he is God be the Son of God in respect of his eternall generation any more then the Father is his Son by eternall generation Secondly if the Spirit of God be God as he is equall with the Father and the Son all three infinite without beginning each having the whole divine essence and yet there is but one essence how can the Spirit proceed from the Father originally any more then the Father from the Spirit and how can the Spirit of God have any more dependance upon the Father and the Sonne then they have upon him seeing whatsoever is infinite can have no dependance upon any thing
