A01730 A plaine declaration that our Brownists be full Donatists by comparing them together from point to point out of the writings of Augustine. Also a replie to Master Greenwood touching read prayer, wherein his grosse ignorance is detected, which labouring to purge himselfe from former absurdities, doth plunge himselfe deeper into the mire.

i_o have_v in_o this_o point_n by_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v swerve_v from_o the_o sacred_a word_n of_o god_n from_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n and_o writing_n of_o the_o most_o worthy_a &_o noble_a instrument_n which_o god_n have_v at_o all_o time_n give_v to_o be_v the_o guide_v and_o light_n in_o the_o same_o and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o i_o have_v go_v awry_o from_o the_o truth_n but_o a_o heir_n breadth_n i_o will_v revoke_v it_o for_o truth_n be_v to_o be_v bow_v unto_o and_o reverence_v wheresoever_o she_o show_v her_o sweet_a face_n of_o all_o that_o look_v to_o have_v any_o part_n in_o she_o mark_v also_o their_o writing_n as_o they_o shall_v come_v forth_o and_o see_v wherein_o they_o can_v convince_v i_o of_o any_o error_n falsehood_n or_o corruption_n touch_v this_o one_o forename_a question_n unto_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v hold_v see_v we_o set_v all_o other_o controversy_n aside_o then_o touch_v the_o second_o sort_n which_o find_v fault_n about_o handle_v the_o matter_n as_o if_o that_o i_o shall_v mitigate_v or_o make_v light_a the_o fault_n of_o our_o church_n at_o least_o in_o this_o that_o i_o do_v not_o reprehend_v they_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v show_v that_o our_o church_n be_v guilty_a in_o some_o of_o those_o crime_n which_o i_o stand_v to_o clear_v it_o in_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o shall_v be_v charge_v to_o make_v thing_n light_a which_o i_o meddle_v not_o withal_o further_o than_o in_o show_v that_o they_o be_v not_o fundamental_a secondlie_o i_o entreat_v all_o man_n to_o consider_v that_o i_o stand_v to_o defend_v a_o church_n and_o not_o the_o infirmity_n or_o offence_n of_o a_o church_n in_o which_o as_o there_o be_v many_o bad_a member_n so_o the_o best_a be_v trail_v if_o a_o godly_a man_n because_o of_o some_o apparent_a sin_n shall_v be_v accuse_v to_o be_v a_o atheist_n a_o infidel_n a_o traitor_n or_o a_o most_o vile_a and_o filthy_a wretch_n may_v not_o he_o clear_v himself_o of_o such_o horrible_a crime_n but_o it_o must_v be_v say_v he_o do_v mitigate_v his_o own_o infirmity_n or_o make_v they_o light_a thirdlie_o i_o do_v request_v they_o to_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o our_o people_n how_o speedy_o very_o many_o be_v carry_v into_o great_a evil_n and_o danger_n though_o not_o all_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n i_o be_o of_o this_o mind_n that_o where_o any_o thing_n be_v amiss_o in_o god_n church_n it_o be_v the_o part_n and_o duty_n of_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n all_o dutiful_a reverence_n and_o submission_n be_v observe_v towards_o magistrate_n &_o public_a authority_n peaciblie_o to_o seek_v redress_n of_o the_o same_o with_o godly_a and_o charitable_a reprehension_n i_o do_v also_o hold_v that_o every_o christian_n man_n be_v wise_o and_o sober_o with_o the_o like_a duty_n of_o reverence_n submission_n and_o peaceable_a behaviour_n observe_v to_o seek_v to_o have_v his_o conscience_n inform_v in_o all_o matter_n which_o may_v any_o way_n concern_v himself_o but_o we_o see_v how_o far_o some_o have_v swerve_v and_o do_v swerve_v from_o this_o for_o the_o rule_n of_o charity_n and_o christian_n duty_n be_v neglect_v the_o utter_n disgrace_n and_o contempt_n of_o man_n be_v seek_v and_o that_o on_o either_o part_n the_o war_n be_v make_v as_o deadly_a as_o if_o the_o ground_n of_o christianity_n be_v in_o question_n while_o some_o pass_v the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n other_o do_v reply_n against_o they_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n our_o saviour_n say_v satan_n do_v not_o cast_v forth_o satan_n and_o shall_v we_o think_v then_o that_o sin_n shall_v cast_v forth_o sin_n such_o as_o condemn_v and_o abhor_v schism_n and_o error_n and_o inordinate_a deal_n must_v be_v burden_a and_o reproach_v with_o the_o same_o notwithstanding_o which_o be_v injurious_a and_o what_o be_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o many_o against_o this_o but_o that_o the_o papist_n then_o may_v as_o well_o be_v excuse_v which_o condemn_v master_n luther_n and_o other_o as_o the_o father_n of_o heretic_n because_o swarm_n of_o anabaptist_n do_v follow_v immediate_o upon_o their_o preach_v the_o gospel_n when_o shall_v we_o then_o here_o come_v to_o a_o end_n there_o will_v be_v contention_n in_o the_o church_n and_o human_a frailty_n have_v show_v itself_o this_o way_n even_o among_o the_o holy_a teacher_n of_o old_a to_o the_o sharp_a reprehension_n and_o in_o manner_n reproach_v one_o of_o another_o as_o master_n beza_n note_v in_o the_o epistle_n of_o his_o book_n against_o erastus_n but_o godly_a man_n when_o they_o have_v somewhat_o go_v awry_o seek_v to_o amend_v their_o fault_n by_o subdue_a their_o passion_n now_o look_v also_o upon_o

to_o be_v full_a of_o love_n and_o mercy_n to_o deal_v uprightlie_o and_o just_o to_o guide_v their_o family_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n with_o wholesome_a instruction_n and_o to_o stand_v fast_o
