A62900	The principles of the Papists by which their leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous practices, plainly demonstrated by the Scriptures to be most erroneous and wicked. And a few better principles briefly laid down, for them (or others) to meditate on, tending to a peaceable life among men, &c. And also a few quæries left them last of all, to satisfie their consciences in. Partly for the sakes of those among them whose consciences have some tenderness in them, and are not quite feared: partly also for those who through ignorance are too much inclining to them. Also there may be some service of these things to others. By a lover of truth, mercifulness, plain-heartedness, humility and fidelity, W. T.

mystery_n of_o iniquity_n if_o the_o lord_n please_v to_o open_v their_o eye_n be_v the_o end_n of_o my_o writing_n these_o thing_n and_o though_o some_o expression_n in_o this_o treatise_n may_v perhaps_o seem_v too_o harsh_a to_o some_o of_o they_o yet_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o such_o bad_a principle_n in_o person_n who_o pretend_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o authority_n and_o power_n derive_v from_o christ_n in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o in_o his_o service_n i_o can_v not_o use_v easy_a language_n than_o i_o have_v do_v and_o as_o i_o have_v here_o manifest_v the_o destructive_a principle_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o be_v most_o erroneous_a and_o wicked_a i_o say_v the_o same_o against_o the_o destructive_a zeal_n of_o any_o professor_n of_o christianity_n upon_o what_o principle_n soever_o they_o go_v and_o under_o what_o name_n soever_o they_o stand_v and_o likewise_o affirm_v that_o no_o destructive_a zeal_n be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o have_v create_v we_o and_o make_v we_o new_a creature_n for_o as_o god_n send_v not_o his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v so_o he_o come_v not_o a_o destroyer_n but_o a_o saviour_n to_o save_v man_n life_n therefore_o will_v he_o not_o suffer_v james_n and_o john_n to_o destroy_v nor_o peter_n when_o he_o draw_v his_o sword_n and_o cut_v off_o malchus_n his_o ear_n but_o bid_v he_o put_v it_o up_o and_o then_o heal_v the_o ear_n again_o which_o he_o have_v cut_v off_o and_o have_v leave_v it_o upon_o record_n that_o his_o servant_n shall_v not_o go_v about_o that_o work_n to_o root_v out_o the_o tare_n out_o of_o the_o field_n that_o be_v the_o world_n that_o be_v a_o work_n reserve_v for_o the_o angel_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o shall_v now_o for_o conclusion_n leave_v a_o few_o query_n for_o the_o papist_n to_o satisfy_v their_o own_o conscience_n in_o rather_o than_o to_o expect_v a_o answer_n to_o they_o and_o i_o desire_v they_o to_o be_v impartial_a while_o they_o consider_v they_o 1._o whether_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v up_o a_o outward_a succession_n again_o since_o he_o lay_v aside_o abraham_n natural_a succession_n 2._o whether_o any_o be_v a_o true_a successor_n of_o peter_n or_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o do_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o doctrine_n 3._o whether_o christ_n have_v substitute_v a_o patron_n of_o lie_v perjury_n plot_n conspiracy_n cruelty_n and_o murder_n to_o be_v his_o vicar_n to_o represent_v he_o upon_o earth_n and_o to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o a_o example_n to_o the_o flock_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o great_a blasphemy_n to_o affirm_v it_o 4._o whether_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n or_o a_o enemy_n to_o christ_n who_o oppose_v the_o main_a end_n of_o his_o come_v as_o namely_o in_o these_o particular_n 1._o in_o point_n of_o enlighten_v 2._o in_o point_n of_o innocency_n 3._o in_o point_n of_o worship_n first_o because_o christ_n come_v to_o enlighten_v the_o world_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o darkness_n but_o the_o pope_n stop_v the_o light_n and_o keep_v man_n in_o darkness_n second_o christ_n come_v to_o raise_v up_o a_o harmless_a inoffensive_a quiet_a innocent_a people_n and_o of_o they_o a_o kingdom_n of_o peace_n where_o nothing_o shall_v hurt_v nor_o destroy_v but_o the_o pope_n bring_v forth_o a_o people_n quite_o contrary_a harmful_a offensive_a unquiet_a disturber_n of_o the_o civil_a peace_n by_o plot_n conspiracy_n murder_n etc._n etc._n three_o christ_n come_v to_o bring_v forth_o a_o people_n that_o shall_v worship_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n such_o as_o the_o father_n seek_v to_o worship_v he_o but_o the_o pope_n require_v such_o worshipper_n as_o will_v stoop_v to_o his_o superstition_n and_o idolatrous_a worship_n after_o the_o formality_n that_o he_o prescribe_v or_o else_o they_o must_v expect_v a_o inquisition_n or_o some_o other_o usage_n as_o bad_a now_o consider_v whether_o he_o that_o thus_o oppose_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n coming_z be_v not_o a_o enemy_n 5._o whether_o he_o that_o know_v sin_n aforehand_o and_o yet_o entice_v or_o encourage_v his_o child_n into_o it_o by_o promise_v they_o pardon_n and_o indemnity_n if_o they_o do_v it_o do_v not_o very_o apt_o follow_v the_o step_n of_o that_o old_a serpent_n that_o deceive_v eve_n who_o tell_v she_o you_o shall_v not_o die_v though_o you_o eat_v 6._o whether_o those_o roman_a casuist_n do_v err_v that_o say_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o swear_v a_o falsehood_n if_o they_o have_v a_o reserve_v in_o their_o mind_n to_o salve_v it_o with_o or_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n that_o err_v in_o promise_a pardon_n for_o such_o oath_n so_o make_v they_o sin_n for_o pardon_n be_v relative_n to_o sin_n 7._o whether_o equivocation_n and_o mental_a reserve_v will_v stand_v as_o a_o good_a plea_n for_o lie_v and_o perjury_n at_o that_o day_n when_o the_o righteous_a judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o

she_o have_v reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o they_o have_v commit_v fornication_n with_o she_o but_o god_n will_v put_v it_o into_o their_o heart_n at_o last_o to_o hate_v the_o whore_n and_o make_v her_o desolate_a and_o good_a cause_n when_o there_o be_v no_o fidelity_n to_o be_v find_v in_o she_o except_o they_o be_v absolute_a slave_n to_o she_o to_o do_v what_o she_o will_v have_v they_o to_o do_v object_n thus_o this_o 3d._a verse_n together_o with_o the_o angel_n interpretation_n of_o it_o do_v so_o full_o point_v at_o rome_n that_o seven-headed_a or_o seven-hilled_n city_n that_o the_o popish_a writer_n have_v confess_v it_o to_o be_v rome_n only_o they_o frame_v this_o evasion_n which_o stand_v need_n to_o be_v answer_v before_o i_o pass_v from_o it_o viz._n that_o this_o great_a whore_n be_v not_o rome_n present_v but_o heathen_a rome_n that_o be_v rome_n under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n who_o be_v before_o constantine_n the_o great_a who_o in_o their_o time_n persecute_v the_o christian_n and_o shed_v much_o blood_n which_o thing_n say_v they_o put_v john_n to_o great_a admiration_n as_o be_v express_v for_o 6._o and_o i_o see_v the_o woman_n drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n and_o when_o i_o see_v she_o i_o wonder_v with_o great_a admiration_n this_o they_o say_v be_v to_o see_v so_o much_o christian_a blood_n shed_v by_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n answ_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o great_a admiration_n or_o new_a admiration_n can_v that_o put_v john_n to_o to_o see_v open_a enemy_n of_o christian_n drink_v with_o their_o blood_n or_o what_o new_a thing_n be_v this_o to_o john_n who_o be_v a_o companion_n in_o tribulation_n with_o those_o that_o suffer_v persecution_n in_o those_o time_n which_o he_o have_v see_v before_o he_o write_v this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n this_o can_v not_o procure_v such_o new_a admiration_n to_o make_v he_o wonder_v so_o much_o but_o the_o ground_n of_o so_o great_a admiration_n lie_v here_o to_o see_v a_o people_n in_o vision_n to_o rise_v up_o under_o that_o name_n that_o be_v then_o persecute_v and_o under_o a_o great_a profession_n of_o christianity_n to_o have_v they_o represent_v to_o he_o to_o be_v drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n while_o they_o so_o high_o profess_v jesus_n here_o be_v ground_n indeed_o of_o astonishment_n to_o john_n but_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o silly_a thing_n to_o turn_v this_o off_o from_o rome_n present_a to_o rome_n heathen_a under_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n as_o some_o of_o no_o small_a note_n do_v who_o at_o present_a i_o forbear_v to_o name_n suppose_v any_o of_o we_o have_v live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o john_n and_o have_v see_v such_o persecution_n as_o he_o have_v see_v and_o have_v be_v a_o companion_n in_o the_o same_o tribulation_n under_o open_a profess_a enemy_n will_v this_o be_v such_o a_o matter_n of_o wonder_n to_o we_o to_o have_v it_o represent_v to_o we_o over_o again_o in_o vision_n no_o the_o frequency_n of_o a_o thing_n take_v away_o the_o wonder_v at_o it_o especial_o with_o so_o great_a admiration_n but_o to_o see_v a_o new_a thing_n so_o strange_a a_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o plain_a word_n to_o see_v christian_n drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christian_n to_o see_v so_o high_a profess_v christian_n who_o will_v honour_v almost_o every_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o christ_n honour_v his_o mother_n honour_v his_o apostle_n honour_v his_o very_a sepulchre_n and_o the_o very_a cross_n upon_o which_o he_o be_v crucify_v yea_o the_o very_a image_n of_o a_o cross_n for_o his_o sake_n if_o i_o may_v not_o say_v adore_v they_o a_o people_n that_o shall_v keep_v day_n in_o memorial_n of_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o suffer_a of_o the_o

and_o magnify_v themselves_o as_o the_o only_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o count_v all_o other_o who_o join_v not_o with_o they_o in_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v heretic_n to_o have_v such_o a_o people_n represent_v as_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christian_n drunken_a with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n a_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o what_o they_o bear_v a_o profession_n of_o here_o be_v matter_n of_o wonder_n indeed_o to_o cause_n john_n to_o wonder_v with_o great_a admiration_n as_o be_v express_v ver_fw-la 6._o and_o this_o now_o apt_o agree_v with_o the_o title_n of_o the_o great_a whore_n which_o title_n the_o persecute_v emperor_n do_v not_o so_o fit_o bear_v see_v they_o never_o own_v christ_n as_o their_o head_n and_o
