A78779	The door of truth opened: or, A brief and true narrative of the occasion how Mr Henry Burton came to shut himself out of the church-doors of Aldermanbury: published in answer to a paper, called, Truth shut out of doors: for the vindication of the minister and people of Aldermanbury, who are in this paper most wrongfully and unjustly charged; and also for the undeceiving of the underwriters, and of all those that are misinformed about this businesse. In the name, and with the consent of the whole church of Aldermanburie.	Calamy, Edmund, 1600-1666.	1645 (1645)	Wing C230; Thomason E311_13; ESTC R200459	16,016	20

he_o have_v no_o witness_n on_o his_o side_n to_o attest_v what_o he_o say_v but_o see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o have_v it_o so_o and_o to_o suffer_v the_o fire_n of_o contention_n to_o kindle_v more_o and_o more_o let_v the_o pious_a and_o peaceable_a reader_n read_v over_o the_o conference_n and_o then_o tell_v we_o 1._o whether_o most_o of_o the_o conference_n be_v not_o already_o answer_v whether_o it_o do_v not_o misrepresent_v the_o whole_a business_n and_o take_v the_o six_o thing_n before_o name_v for_o grant_v which_o we_o have_v abundant_o prove_v to_o be_v far_o otherwise_o 2._o whether_o in_o this_o conference_n m._n burton_n do_v not_o discover_v a_o episcopal_a spirit_n rather_o then_o m._n calamy_n indeed_o m._n calamy_n do_v not_o enumerate_v the_o particular_a thing_n for_o which_o we_o take_v offence_n at_o some_o of_o m._n burtons_n sermon_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o accommodate_v and_o reconcile_v difference_n and_o not_o to_o increase_v they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n likewise_o why_o his_o clerk_n be_v not_o send_v for_o because_o as_o m._n francis_n shute_n then_o say_v it_o will_v but_o increase_v the_o contest_v between_o m._n burton_n and_o he_o and_o make_v the_o breach_n wide_o add_v further_o that_o m._n calamy_n think_v that_o m._n burton_n have_v misplace_v many_o of_o his_o question_n put_v one_o before_o another_o to_o the_o great_a prejudice_n of_o the_o conference_n and_o interlace_v many_o thing_n which_o as_o he_o remember_v m._n burton_n do_v not_o say_v at_o the_o conference_n and_o have_v leave_v out_o many_o thing_n that_o m._n calamy_n do_v say_v one_o thing_n m._n calamy_n charge_v he_o withal_o of_o which_o we_o will_v give_v the_o reader_n a_o full_a account_n m._n calamy_n have_v preach_v many_o sermon_n out_o of_o matth._n 7.6_o concern_v brotherly_a reproof_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o and_o have_v show_v that_o this_o duty_n do_v belong_v to_o a_o christian_a as_o a_o christian_a not_o only_o as_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o church_n and_o have_v likewise_o show_v how_o far_o they_o that_o be_v member_n of_o the_o same_o church_n be_v to_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o hereupon_o he_o come_v to_o justify_v a_o equal_a and_o prudent_a division_n and_o bound_v of_o congregation_n by_o parish_n that_o so_o by_o their_o near_a live_n together_o they_o may_v the_o better_a watch_n over_o one_o another_o and_o then_o he_o come_v to_o answer_v that_o question_n whether_o the_o live_n in_o the_o same_o parish_n do_v make_v a_o man_n a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n to_o which_o his_o house_n belong_v it_o will_v be_v too_o long_o to_o repeat_v what_o be_v answer_v but_o the_o next_o tuesday_n m._n burton_n preach_v direct_o against_o bound_v of_o congregation_n by_o parish_n say_v it_o be_v popish_a and_o antichristian_a or_o to_o that_o effect_n as_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o relate_v upon_o this_o m._n calamy_n when_o he_o come_v again_o to_o preach_v of_o this_o subject_n among_o other_o thing_n wish_v that_o all_o controversy_n among_o brethren_n may_v be_v lay_v aside_o and_o that_o we_o will_v agree_v to_o preach_v faith_n and_o repentance_n then_o come_v m._n burton_n and_o call_v upon_o all_o minister_n to_o set_v up_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o add_v but_o some_o will_v say_v we_o must_v not_o meddle_v with_o these_o thing_n but_o only_o preach_v faith_n and_o repentance_n he_o answer_v we_o must_v not_o leave_v out_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o we_o must_v preach_v christ_n kingdom_n for_o we_o have_v liberty_n now_o to_o speak_v etc._n etc._n in_o reference_n to_o this_o story_n m._n calamy_n not_o name_v the_o story_n charge_v m._n burton_n for_o preach_v point_n blank_a against_o he_o and_o his_o answer_n be_v it_o be_v possible_a i_o may_v casual_o do_v so_o yet_o without_o reference_n to_o you_o whether_o this_o answer_n be_v satisfactory_a let_v the_o reader_n judge_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o if_o it_o be_v sufficient_a it_o will_v quit_v m._n calamy_n of_o most_o of_o the_o accusation_n that_o be_v bring_v against_o he_o in_o the_o narrative_a as_o for_o that_o concern_v m._n locky_a we_o speak_v since_o with_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o lecture_n and_o he_o assure_v we_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o m._n locky_a have_v engage_v himself_o by_o promise_n not_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o point_n in_o difference_n between_o the_o independent_o and_o presbyterian_o and_o for_o m._n francis_n shute_n because_o we_o love_v and_o honour_v he_o we_o will_v forbear_v to_o write_v what_o we_o know_v m._n calamy_n remember_v not_o that_o m._n hartford_n shall_v say_v the_o committee_n think_v very_o hard_o that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v so_o carry_v before_o m._n calamy_n have_v first_o speak_v with_o m._n burton_n the_o committee_n sure_o be_v wise_a then_o to_o condemn_v a_o man_n before_o he_o be_v hear_v we_o believe_v the_o committee_n will_v not_o own_o this_o speech_n much_o less_o thank_v he_o for_o it_o whereas_o in_o the_o late_a end_n of_o the_o conference_n m._n burton_n say_v that_o he_o be_v send_v home_o without_o any_o hope_n of_o have_v the_o door_n unlock_v we_o leave_v he_o without_o hope_n of_o our_o keep_v any_o truth_n close_a prisoner_n if_o these_o word_n be_v well_o weigh_v they_o will_v give_v a_o key_n to_o the_o reader_n to_o unlock_v the_o whole_a business_n m._n burton_n resolve_v wheresoever_o he_o preach_v to_o let_v all_o truth_n out_o of_o prison_n and_o whosoever_o will_v open_v the_o door_n of_o their_o church_n to_o he_o must_v open_v their_o door_n to_o all_o his_o independent_a opinion_n also_o how_o far_o the_o committee_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o vnderwriter_n and_o other_o who_o it_o concern_v will_v approve_v of_o this_o we_o know_v not_o but_o sure_o we_o be_v that_o whosoever_o read_v the_o conference_n and_o this_o answer_n to_o it_o will_v confess_v that_o m._n burtons_n high_a language_n against_o m._n calamy_n do_v savour_n more_o of_o self-conceitedness_n then_o of_o just_a accusation_n 8._o the_o eight_o particular_a which_o be_v mis-related_n in_o this_o narrative_a be_v about_o a_o second_o conference_n which_o as_o m._n burton_n say_v he_o procure_v out_o of_o love_n to_o aldermanburic_n there_o be_v two_o of_o the_o committee_n send_v to_o m._n calamy_n to_o know_v of_o he_o whether_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o suffer_v i_o to_o exercise_v there_o still_o his_o final_a answer_n to_o they_o be_v that_o he_o can_v not_o in_o conscience_n suffer_v i_o any_o long_a to_o preach_v there_o because_o his_o people_n be_v of_o a_o contrary_a judgement_n thus_o far_o m._n burton_n now_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v understand_v how_o far_o this_o relation_n be_v from_o truth_n we_o will_v set_v down_o m._n calamy_n answer_v as_o it_o be_v write_v word_n for_o word_n by_o one_o of_o those_o two_o who_o be_v send_v to_o he_o and_o it_o be_v this_o november_n the_o first_o 1645._o m._n james_n storey_n and_o m._n robert_n dolman_n be_v send_v by_o the_o committee_n to_o m._n calamy_n about_o m._n burtons_n preach_v in_o that_o church_n and_o his_o answer_n be_v 1._o that_o he_o have_v no_o hand_n direct_o or_o indirect_o in_o keep_v of_o he_o out_o and_o that_o that_o business_n lie_v in_o the_o churchwarden_n and_o parishioner_n 2._o that_o if_o the_o committee_n will_v send_v under_o their_o hand_n that_o they_o be_v confident_a upon_o good_a ground_n that_o m._n burton_n will_v preach_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o meddle_v with_o the_o controversy_n he_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o the_o churchwarden_n and_o the_o parishioner_n for_o his_o readmission_n by_o this_o answer_n it_o may_v appear_v to_o all_o the_o world_n how_o desirous_a m._n calamy_n be_v that_o m._n burton_n may_v be_v restore_v to_o his_o lecture_n among_o we_o and_o we_o can_v further_o evidence_n to_o all_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v satisfaction_n that_o m._n calamy_n have_v deal_v with_o many_o of_o the_o committee_n and_o have_v make_v use_n of_o one_o of_o they_o in_o especial_a manner_n to_o deal_v with_o m._n burton_n to_o see_v whether_o he_o can_v obtain_v of_o he_o to_o join_v with_o m._n calamy_n in_o a_o way_n of_o peace_n and_o unity_n but_o m._n burton_n will_v either_o preach_v all_o his_o mind_n at_o his_o church_n or_o not_o preach_v at_o all_o now_o whether_o m_n burton_n or_o m._n calamy_n be_v in_o the_o fault_n let_v the_o world_n judge_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v likewise_o be_v full_o convince_v of_o aldermanburies_n love_n and_o good_a affection_n towards_o m._n burton_n we_o do_v here_o profess_v to_o all_o that_o read_v these_o line_n that_o if_o m._n burton_n will_v be_v please_v to_o forbear_v preach_v his_o congregationall_a way_n among_o we_o and_o preach_v such_o thing_n wherein_o both_o side_n agree_v we_o will_v re-admit_a he_o with_o all_o readiness_n and_o cheerfulness_n and_o will_v promise_v to_o endeavour_v upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o come_v and_o hear_v he_o which_o offer_n if_o m._n burton_n refuse_v let_v the_o world_n judge_n whether_o m._n burton_n shut_v himself_o or_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o the_o church-doore_n of_o aldermanburic_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v give_v a_o answer_n to_o this_o unpleasing_a narrative_n so_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v we_o and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o answer_n will_v be_v as_o unpleasing_a as_o the_o narrative_a but_o our_o apology_n be_v that_o we_o be_v force_v his_o be_v voluntary_a it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n that_o aldermanburic_n that_o have_v have_v so_o much_o truth_n preach_v unto_o it_o and_o have_v have_v so_o many_o famous_a preacher_n of_o truth_n shall_v now_o be_v cry_v up_o and_o down_o the_o street_n of_o the_o city_n as_o a_o people_n that_o shut_v truth_n out_o of_o door_n who_o will_v not_o rise_v up_o to_o wipe_v off_o such_o a_o aspersion_n truth_n it_o be_v the_o purchase_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v that_o which_o christ_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n with_o he_o for_o grace_n and_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n christ_n jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o bear_v witness_n of_o the_o truth_n truth_n it_o be_v the_o light_n and_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o spouse_n of_o the_o understanding_n the_o food_n and_o sustenance_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o gold_n and_o silver_n pearl_n and_o precious_a stone_n be_v but_o dung_n and_o dross_n in_o comparison_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o contend_v earnest_o for_o the_o truth_n and_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o all_o man_n that_o we_o be_v far_o from_o shut_v truth_n out_o of_o door_n we_o hope_v that_o all_o that_o be_v moderate_a and_o sober_a christian_n will_v not_o only_o not_o accuse_v we_o but_o commend_v we_o for_o it_o we_o have_v do_v the_o lord_n open_v all_o the_o door_n of_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v peace_n and_o truth_n as_o unseparable_a guest_n to_o lodge_v within_o we_o for_o ever_o amen_n a_o postscript_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o m._n burton_n mention_v in_o the_o narrative_a which_o though_o it_o concern_v not_o aldermanburic_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o whole_o bury_v it_o in_o silence_n and_o that_o be_v concern_v the_o late_a large_a petition_n for_o the_o speedy_a establishment_n of_o religion_n of_o which_o he_o speak_v very_o dishonourable_o as_o also_o of_o the_o petitioner_n as_o of_o man_n lead_v with_o blind_a obedience_n and_o pin_v their_o soul_n upon_o the_o priest_n sleeve_n we_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o petitioner_n to_o answer_v for_o themselves_o for_o our_o part_n we_o conceive_v that_o no_o reader_n unless_o blind_v with_o prejudice_n can_v charge_v they_o with_o blind_a obedience_n for_o the_o petitioner_n do_v not_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o model_n of_o the_o reverend_a assembly_n establish_v but_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n establish_v a_o model_n whereof_o etc._n etc._n these_o word_n a_o model_n whereof_o etc._n etc._n
