A18908	Antidoton or a soueraigne remedie against schisme and heresie: gathered to analogie and proportion of faith, from that parable of tares. Matth.13. Aug.ep.3.Nullorum disput.&c. We ought to haue no men their disputations (although men Catholike and praise worthie) in that count as we haue the canonicall scriptures: so that it should be vnlawfull for vs to improue and refuse some things in their writings, if happily we finde that they thought otherwise then the truth hath. Such a one am I in other mens writings, and so would I haue others to vnderstand of my writings.	Clapham, Henoch.	1600 (1600)	STC 5330; ESTC S111140	38,797	50

will come againe And where the auncients do alleadge that of Paul There is another glorie of the Sunne and another glory of the Moone and another glory of the Stars for one Starre differs from another in glory So also in the resurrection of the dead If any here reply that this is to be vnderstood of the first resurrection which is here from sinne he speakes openly against the generall and scope of the Chapter which was to teach the resurrection of our bodies not soules against some that in the Church denied it Againe if they say that the comparison is between earthly and heauenly bodies in this place it is apparantly false for here he concludes Looke what difference in the glorie of Starres though all glorious euen such difference in the resurrection of bodies though all glorious for before the resurrection no bodie is glorious And surely were it we considered but the state of a bodie where we see all the members excellent yet a difference of excellency and yet the difference no cause of emulation in the bodie because ech member hath that which is fitting his own place as also if we consider that all the beauteous order of God it lieth in distinctions it must help to perswade that in his mysticall bodie there be an Identitie or One-nes touching the generall Eternall life yet there must be distinction or difference touching the measure of glorification Where the aduerse minded do alledge that Parable of the workmen brought into the vineyard some at the third houre some at the sixt some at the ninth some at the eleuenth agreeing so giuing to euery man a penie and so hence affirme that no one differs in the measure of glory all obtaining but one and the same price a peny I answer a Parable being a figuratiue doctrine it must be expounded by that which is lesse figuratiue or plainly proper The Apostle hauing taught the Corinths so plainly of a difference not between corruptible and incorruptible bodies but between glorie and glorie of bodies risen it shall be preposterous after so plain assertion to conclude the contrary from a darke phrase Secondly Augustine Chrysostome and a thousands besides them haue deliuered a better sense of the peny that is how it importeth onely Eternall life Which eternall life though one yet vttering it selfe in more or lesse glorie according to the place ech member then enioyeth in this mystical glorious bodie Some here bring forth fruit an hundred fold some sixtie some thirtie Vnto those of fruits an hundred fold Ambrose referreth the glory of the Sun vnto those of 60 the glorie of the Moone and vnto those that bring forth fruits thirtie fold he sweetly referreth the glory as of commō stars And surely as the contrarie perswasion doth effect in men a remisnes and slouthfulnes in the Lords worke so the beliefe of this doctrine is as a goad in our sides for stirring vs forward in the works of the vineyard for out of the vineyard or Churches fellowship no promise of peny or eternall life Which point remembred as it will cause his people to maintaine Churches vnitie so the tares also remembred hauing place in the Church yet finally damned it may force vs to make our election sure by good works Not to make it sure vnto God by good works but vnto our selues as a certaine Romanist well granteth These be his words Per illa verba 2. Pet. 1.10 haberi non potest c. By those words of Peter 2. Ep. 1.10 it cannot be vnderstood that election should be because of workes following but that by perseuerance in good workes Predestination which is immoueable it may be showen certaine to vs by a coniecturall certaintie As for all time spent out of the Church or euilly spent within the Church what shall we count it but time lost A certaine heathen could wel say There is no cause why thou shouldest thinke any old because of his gray haires or wrinckles He hath not for that loued long but been long For I pray thee thinkest thou that he hath sailed much who after his putting forth of the hauen is by a sore tempest driuen here and there and by force of winds diuersly rushing is all that while but come round about Such a one hath not sailed much but hath been tossed much Nor let vs thinke such vnfruitfull and time onely lost but which more is a building vp of fagots for our owne burning the breeding of a viper in our bosome the laying of sondry stepping stones to eternal damnation Wheras in holy expence of time we gaine more and more assurance by those fruits of faith that our life is laid vp and hid in Christ vntill his appearance With whose appearance as our glory shall begin so neuer shall it end though wicked Chiliasts haue pronounced it to be but of a thousand yeares durance but as verily as we are by the holy Ghost ioyned to the Sonne and the Sonne to the Father so verily we cannot be any more pulled from the possessed glory then the spirit can be rent from the Sonne and the Sonne from the Father and the father from himselfe To which glorious Trinitie in Vnitie all kingdome power and glorie be giuen for euer Amen Theodoret on Ezek. chap. last An ende being put heere vnto my speech we desire such as shall reade this booke if so they find any thing herein interpreted by vs worthy the tra●ell they therefore would praise the Lord of All. But if the gayne answere not the Expectation or that they find not fruit answereable to the labour that then they would pardon the imbecillitie of Nature but yet would embrace the minds alacritie recompensing our labours with their prayers begging of the Sauiour of All remission of our sinnes with whom togither with the Father and the holy Ghost be glorie for euer and infinitly euer Amen a 2.
