the House haue wee not seene a Doctour of Divinitie censured And for your selfe wee will say no more than we haue sayd Onely Sir Remember what that great Doctour of the Gentiles sayth in the Conclusion of his first Epistle to the Corinthians If any man loue not the Lord Jesus Christ let him bee Anathema Maranatha Your selfe being so great a Clerke know what the words signifie Cave for whosoever broacheth and maintayneth any haeresies or haereticall Doctrines in the Church cannot loue Christ who is Truth it selfe And so Sir If you can loue the Lord Jesus and doe belong to his Election of Grace The Grace of our Lord lesus Christ bee with you and our loue shall bee with you in Christ Jesus Amen By those that wish your Salvation if it may bee The orthodox Ministers of the Church of England Post-script to Bishop MOVNTAGV SIR Whereas wee vnderstand that you haue procured his Majesties Pardon vnder the Great Scale of England Wee deny not but his Majestie may giue Pardons to what Malefastors hee pleaseth yea though they bee condemned to bee Beheaded or Hanged And wee guesse your selfe best knowes what ends you haue in procuring your Pardon thus before-hand and wee must leaue the consideration thereof to the honourable House But good Sir giue vs leaue to tell you that your Impieties against GOD and his Church are of that nature that an earthly Princes Pardon will yeeld small Comfort to your Conscience vnlesse besides your Recantation before men you labour which wee wish to get the King of Kings his pardon vnder the Great Seale of Heaven through the onely merits of CHRIST IESVS and the bloud of his Passion If wee say againe it bee not too late for you so to doe Hereunto is annexed an briefe Supplication of the Ministers of the Church of Scotland to the high Senate of Parlament in England against the same Richard Mountagu Right Illustrious Nobles Knights Burgesses WEe the Ministers of the Kirke of Scotland reformed according to Gods ure Word in his holy Writ to a great number serving the same God obeying the same King and with an Vnanime Consent agreeing in matter of Faith Doctrine and Discipline with our welbeloved Brethren the Ministers of the Church of England In like most humble and submisse manner do second the same which our Brethren the orthodox Ministers of England haue Remonstrated unto this Right Illustrious Court against Mr. Mountagu and his Bukes which haue done no good but mickle hurt and domage to this our Reformed Kirk For it is not so old as true a saying That where God hath his Kirke the Devill hath or labours to haue his Chappell And it is well knowne that although our Kirk hath beene purely reformed according to Gods holy Writ yet there are many Papists in this his Majesties Kingdome of Scotland And since that false Lowne of the Kirk Arminius lived and vented his publike Errours and Haeresies wee haue not been cleere from Arminians and those of late encreased and heartned by Mountagu's Writings And yet praised be God for the most part wee haue his Bukes in such obloquie and hatred that when we see any of them at the Buthes of any of our Bukesellers we hold them fitter to stoppe Mustard pots than to giue siluer for them Also our three Academies of St. Andrewes Glasco and Edenburgh haue condemned them And certes wee make mickle merveile to heare that sick a man whom before we heard should be censured and branded in your last Session of Parlament should immediately be made an Byshop and Governour of your Church Wee dayly pray to God for better Brethren better Governours in our Kirke Though of late wee haue one of our owne Nation come from you who was Chaplain to the late Duke of Buckingham and over with him at the I le of Ree and had 2. or 3. Livings in London who by the mediation of his mightie Mr. the Duke is made Byshop of the Iles with us and he is come over to us a Bird of the Libertine Fether and we doubt a Mountaguist And they say he was so well beloved in his Parish of St. Martins in the Vintree that they rang the Bells when he was removed from them and they of St. Faiths would haue done no lesse if they had had any Bells to ring but they did more for they gaue him mickle money to be rid of him But what else is this man They that came out of England with him say That all the way as he came he did nothing but talke prophanely and scoffingly and did eate and drinke freely and instead of Prayers he had constantly the Fidlers to play and sing obscaene and scurrulus Songs early and late at every place where he came all the way as he went And what doth he since he came amongst us but feast and epicurize and and take Tabacco Yea he doth eftsoones open his mouth wide against the Puritans of London for so like Mr. Mountagu hee termeth all honest Orthodox Ministers We would therefore if it were the will of God that you had him backe from us or else that he were with his great Lord and Master For we like not such lounes in our Kirk And Lord when it is thy will remoue such Loyterers out of thy Vineyard But craving pardon for our digression to leaue him and returne to Mountagu We doe most humbly supplicate the Honourable House to hearken if not to us unto our Brethren the Ministers of the Church of England and we hold their Appeale or Remonstrance gude godly and religious it being in Gods cause and for the Truth which we are not onely bound to labour to defend but if need be to lay downe our liues for the same And we are of unanime-opinion that Mr. Mountagu deserveth severe Censure and punishment if it were but for vilifying King Iames of blessed memory his Writings against the arminians his secret depraving our Kirk of Scotland his more open vilifying the sacred Synode of Dort which was so piously procured and highly approved by his said Majestie of ever blessed and happy memorie For the whilk his vile doings we hope doubtlesse when ever it may please God to moue his Majesties heart or any other Christian Prince or State Reformed to call a Synode againe Mountagu though now a Byshop and his Bukes will be condemned and censured to posterity And so the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and Jacobs God be with you and all your pious and religious Consults for his Glory Your most humble and submisse Oratours The Ministers of the Kirk of Scotland The Publishers Post-script or Conclusion to all FOr this present ensuing Yeere of Christ 1629.
