A13025 A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion. By Thomas Stoughton minister of the word Stoughton, Thomas. 1598 (1598) STC 23316; ESTC S113794 180,055 360

note_v leave_v the_o further_a consideration_n of_o they_o to_o the_o godly_a reader_n 5_o first_o therefore_o since_o all_o these_o thing_n do_v most_o lively_o show_v the_o extreme_a folly_n &_o high_a abomination_n of_o popery_n how_o ought_v all_o papist_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o religion_n how_o ought_v all_o protestant_n that_o sometime_o have_v be_v papist_n to_o be_v grieve_v for_o their_o popery_n how_o ought_v they_o likewise_o to_o mourn_v for_o any_o of_o their_o friend_n yea_o for_o any_o other_o yet_o remain_v in_o that_o estate_n &_o yet_o shut_v up_o in_o the_o

only_o into_o our_o house_n as_o sometime_o he_o do_v into_o the_o house_n of_o lot_n to_o take_v he_o &_o guide_v he_o out_o of_o sodom_n before_o fire_n come_v from_o heaven_n to_o destroy_v that_o

see_v by_o these_o thing_n how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n and_o how_o blockish_a we_o be_v if_o we_o be_v leave_v unto_o ourselves_o very_o there_o be_v no_o error_n so_o foolish_a so_o absurd_a so_o gross_a so_o abominable_a &_o so_o monstrous_a but_o that_o if_o god_n do_v forsake_v we_o if_o he_o take_v his_o spirit_n from_o we_o if_o he_o leave_v we_o to_o ourselves_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o believe_v it_o as_o truth_n yea_o to_o be_v zealous_a therein_o yea_o far_o more_o zealous_a than_o any_o of_o god_n own_o child_n be_v in_o the_o truth_n 7_o o_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o deceive_v ourselves_o late_a we_o hate_v popery_n as_o such_o a_o monster_n ought_v to_o be_v hate_v let_v we_o make_v that_o account_n of_o the_o truth_n &_o give_v

we_o delight_v in_o the_o communion_n &_o fellowship_n of_o all_o they_o that_o love_v the_o truth_n and_o be_v able_a to_o confirm_v strengthen_v &_o help_v we_o forward_o in_o this_o religion_n which_o now_o general_o we_o profess_v use_v all_o other_o good_a mean_n commend_v unto_o we_o for_o the_o same_o end_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n not_o only_o of_o the_o main_a stock_n of_o popery_n but_o also_o of_o every_o bough_n branch_n twig_n yea_o of_o every_o leaf_n for_o there_o be_v dangerous_a if_o not_o deadly_a poison_n in_o th●_n lest_o patch_n of_o popery_n and_o as_o the_o whole_a

and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o there_o also_o whole_o to_o bring_v it_o in_o again_o for_o we_o see_v many_o now_o to_o be_v papist_n even_o of_o both_o sex_n yea_o some_o to_o be_v recusant_n papist_n who_o father_n be_v little_o more_o then_o bear_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o her_o most_o excellent_a majesty_n but_o although_o satan_n the_o old_a adversary_n where_o he_o think_v
