AN ANSWER TO THE Eight Quaeries propounded by the House of Commons to the Assembly called Divines sitting at Westminster April 22. 1646. never to this day by them Answered nor they called to an accompt by the Parliament for their ignorance or negligence therein Psal 31.6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities but I trust in the Lord. Jonah 2.8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy Psal 82.6.7 I have said ye are Gods and all of you are Children of the most high But ye shall dye like men and fa l like one of the Princes Jer. 5.30 A wonderfull and horrible thing is committed in the Land the Prophets prophesie lyes and the Priests receive gifts in their hands and my people delight therein what will ye then do in the end thereof Cor. 1.14.36 What came the word of God out from you or came it unto you only Gal. 4.16 Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth 2 Cor. 4.2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty not walking in craftinesse nor handling the word of God deceitfully but by manifestatiō of the truth cōmending our selves to every mans Conscience in the sight of God Col. 2.8 Beware least any man spoil you through Philosophy and vain deceit c. 1 Tim. 6.20 Oh Timothy keepe that which is cōmitted to thy trust avoiding profane vain bablings By Edward Barber Freeman of England Citizen and Marchant-Taylor of London 1648. To those Noble Senators the chosen Stewards and Servants of the freemen of England the Commons assembled in Parliament with that Right Noble Generall the Lord Fairfax and Lieut. Gen. Crumwell RIGHT HONORABLE TAking into consideration the Quaeries so long since propounded by your Honours to the Assembly called Divines at Westminster desiring their Answers therein as once Nebucadnizer did of his dream from his Magicians Astrolog●rs Sorcerers and Caldeans whom he had chosen and to whom was appointed a dayly provision of the Kings meate and of the wine which he drank Dan. 2. That so being nourished at his Table at three years end they might stand before the King But they being called forth to satissie the Kings desire in telling c. as Ier. 51 6.7 compared with Isaia 21.9 and Micha 2.10.11 Arise ye and depart for this is not your rest because it is polluted it shall destroy you even with a sore destruction if a man walking in the spirit of falshood do lye saying I will prophesie unto thee of wine and strong drink he shall even be the prophet of this people compared with 2. Cor. 6.14 to 18. and Revel 18.4 come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sinnes and that ye receive not of her plagues Now as the people of God were thus called forth of temporall and spirituall Babylon so the instruments by which the Lord will do this great work shall be by dispised persons that so the great wise men of the world may stay themselves and wonder who are blind make you blind instead of this they render it cry ye out and cry Isai 29.9 to 15. also that the whole glory may be given to God only not to men and as for such as have received their Call and Ordination from the beast or no calling at all as some now pretends if ever they should be converted and to submit unto the Order and Government of King Iesus in the Gospell way yet will these be the unsittest for the carrying forth of that rich treasure of the Gospel they having formerly sworn themselves Servants unto Antichrist and therefore will be but as the Gibiouites who although by their craft had saved their lives yet were by Josuah that glorious Tipe of Christ appointed to be hewers of wood and drawers of water Josuah 9. or Lovies Sonnes Sam. 1.2.36 who at that time when the Lord shall raise up his faithfull Priest shall come and crouch for a peece of silver or a morsell of bread saying put me I pray thee into one of the Priests Offices that I may eat a pecee of bread or with those Merchants of the earth who when the Kings and Magistrates of the earth who have committed fornication with the whore and lived deliciously at her overthrow shall bewail her and lament for her Revel 18.9 then also shall those Merchants of the earth weepe and mourn for no man buyeth their Merchandize any more vers 10. This will cause them as the Jewes Acts 22.22 to discover their madnesse who east dust upon their heads so these crying weeping wayling saing alas alas that great City wherein were made rich all that had Ships in the Sea by reason of her costlinesse for in one howre is she made desolate vers 19. and vers 20. the Church holy Messengers and Prophets are called forth to rejoyce over her for God hath avenged them on her when all profit and delight is taken away from her verse 22.23 the Reason is layd down vers the last because in her was found the blood of Prophets and of Saints and of all that were slain upon the earth oh that therefore your honours would give liberty for publike disputes that thereby the truth might be tryed and that there might be some time allowed after the publike Exercises is done wherein the hearers those whose mouthes the Lord by his spirit shall open might have liberty to adde to what is delivered or contradict if irronious and that there might be some places that are vacant as Paules or the like appointed for such exercises and tryalls of the truth according to Iohn 1.4.1 where he saith believe not every spirit but trie the spirits whether they are of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the world and Thes 1.5.21 The Apostle exhorts the Saints to prove all things and to hold fast that which is good which cannot be done in that way that is practised by them they tying up the mouthes of all but themselves by their Antichristian power and practice that therefore the Kings of the earth and you the Majestrates would be wise and consider your wayes know as it was once said to Saul as he was going to Damascus having received Authority from the High Priests to persecute and hale to prison all that called upon the name of the Lord Jesus Saul Saul why persecutest thou me it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks so it will one day be said to all those that persecute Christ in his Members which through the subtelty of Antichrist is usually done under the name of Heriticks and Sectaries as in Queen Maries dayes c. for know as the Prophet David saith Psal 2.2 to 6. although the Kings of the earth set themselves and the Rulers take Councel together against the Lord and against his Christ saying let us break his bonds asunder and cast away his cords from us but he that sits in Heaven shall laugh the Lord shall have them in
