A34793	The schismatick stigmatized wherein all make-bates are branded : whether they are eves-dropping-newes-carriers, murmurers, complainers, railers, reproachers, revilers, repining reformers, fault-finders, quarrell-pickers and corner-creepers : with all the rabble of brain-sicks who are enemies to old Englands peace / by Richard Carter.	Carter, Richard, 17th/18th cent.	1641 (1641)	Wing C664; ESTC R10295	11,943	23

She shames not her taile These for brevitics sake the rest we shall see anon and enjoy their sweet company Then I conceited I heard the fore-named Rout and Rabble whispering crooking and hissing like Toads Snakes Adders and Serpents bussing and hussing like whole swarmes of Bees Waspes and Hornets thus croking hissing buzzing and hussing on both sides mine eares which rouzed me up and now I know my Dreame is out For their Preaching or prating rather against me is nothing but cursing and lyes as I sald above Psal. 59. 12. But while they curse me I will pray for them as our blessed Saviour hath taught us all Father forgive them they know not what they doe and as the Proto-Martyr St. Stephen prayd for his mortall enemies Lord lay not this sinne to their charge and as our Church in Old-England doth teach us all to pray that it may please thee to forgive our enemies persecuters and slanderers and t turne their hearts We beseech thee to heare us good Lord For as much as Schismaticks cannot brooke Church-Musick calling the same the Devills Bag-pipes I shall now sing them a plaine-song and so wind up the Bottome for this time OLD Homers Mastyx Zoilus thou art And carping Momus bitter sharp and tart You learned Poets spare my ignorance The lesse I am the more I you advance Contraria juxta se posita magis manifestant All Schismaticks in generall Against our Church doe vent their Gall Like Cerberus the Dog of Hell At peace and truth they yelp and yell In prayer they say Lard Lard Lard Lard Lard Lard a hundred times is hard But our Lords-prayer they despise Because they are blind and precise Behold how they will brag and boast Blaspheming still the Holy Ghost They say the Spirit doth them lead Because Gods Word they heare and read Gods sacred word they ever wrest And make it speake what faction list Whereby they hide great villany With damned deep hy-po-cri-sie Poore widowes and poore fatherlesse They make no bones still to oppresse And for pretence long prayers make Because men should no notice take The Mote within his brothers eye The Schismatick will soone espy But his owne Beame doth cloud his sight Hypocrisie doth him benight Like painted Tombes they doe appeare With rottennesse full fraughted are Their hearts and tongues doe not agree To God nor King will bend their knee Behold when they doe pray or fast Their hands and eyes to skies they cast Sighing foole-lowd grone glout and lower Wringing a crabbed face most sower But when the poore doe crie for bread The hide-bound slave doth hide his head With words Demure he feeds the poore False-frothy-food he gives great store As Iosephs Mistris cunningly Chaste Iosephs garment laid her by To shew before her Husbands face To hide her whorish lust most base Thus Schismaticks to Church will flock But use Religion for a cloak Unto Brownes Church they shew great zeale Despising Church and Common-weale Fault-finders they will sing no song But babble loud in prayer long No shew of good in them is found But Factions Trumpet loud must sound With vestures gestures and such things White-Surplesse Rotchets Hoods and Rings The Schismatick will prating bee Still Mint Annis Tieth will he Mens vertues fooles will seldome name But blast mens vices to their shame Foule flies such suck foule matter still Rooting Swine-like in each Dung-hill Caesar when he demands his due Then startleth this braine-sick crew They prate forthwith some Scripture Text To spare his money being vext Far from Saint Paul behold he saith That man denyed hath the faith Worse than an Infidell he is Who doth not all provide for his The Divell had his Scriptum Est But sacred Writ he still did wrest He tempts the Church and Christ our Lord As holy Scripture doth Record By heards into Brownes Church they come And squot them downe upon their Bum Gods Service they doe all despise They are so fond blinde and precise They still pretend a publique good But for Faction is understood Our King and State may sinke or swim Peace seemeth nothing unto him Against disorders fooles will prate Controlling King the Church and State Bishops preach wrong but Coblers right If judge may be the Brain-sick-wight Their trade is all to prate and heare Because they are all mouth and eare Like hounds they harke and barke about Our Church is combred with this rout They keep no calling honestly But loyter laze catch cheat and lie And when honest mens goods they nim Free-holders still they prove to him They read no books but sacred Writ But yet God knowes they have no wit A sencelesse sence themselves will give None but a dunce will them believe As holy-water scares a sprite So learning frights the hy-po-crite All our fore-fathers they despise Grave Bishops Doctors Godly-wise These reverend Fathers fooles reject Tom-Cobler will himselfe direct In pulpits trades-men they extoll But King and Church they all controll They seeme a Papist to abhorre For Idolls vaine they doe adore If one be bad neither is good With two faces under one Hood A Drunkard Theefe or whore-Master Rogues Ruffins Bawds I far prefer Before false-faining seeming-good Having two faces in one Hood Sectaries still doe Idolize Vaine factious fansies as their eyes But none can blind our God of light No Devill nor no hy-po-crite Saint James why shouldst thou now have blame Because our Church doth beare thy name Moses and Aaron blessed are No Catharists De-rothing were Saints and their works we high esteeme What ever Brain-sick wise-men deeme Benefactors we all record And for all such still praise the Lord Blinde Zelots with blinde zeale are bent Against order of Parliament Their eares they prick up like an Asse And quarrells pick in Glasse and Brasse He that shall at my Verses stick Perhaps may prove some Schismatick Sectaries Brain-sick heads are sick All spur-gald Jades will wince and kick Fables and Factions fooles love best Fractions and Factions I detest What our King Charles doth defend In that I live and hope to end The Catholick undoubted-Creed I doe believe and hold indeed No way to blisse I know but one That is by Iesus Christ alone Lord blesse King Charles his Majesty His Queen and royall Progeny Elizabeth with her off-spring Their praises all the Muses sing The Honourable Counsell grave Thy Counsell Lord for them we crave And thus we pray with one consent Lord helpe our present Parliament God Almighty send peace among all Christians and blesse Great Britaine But principally increase and also confirme and continue peace more and more between Old England and Scotland Soli Deo Honor Gloria Richard Carter FINIS Behold the guilty man doth dreame All what I write puts him to shame Sutor ne ultra ●repidam Matth. 4.

They pretend an extraordinary inspiration like the Gold-smith that blinde Prophet in Germany who proclaimed Iohn of Leidon the Cobler that he should be Emperour of all the world and that he should destroy all Princes Potentates and Prelates but should spare all the common rout who are the onely lovers of sincerity This was in the yeare 1533. Here was the like braine-sick Schismatick in England Hacket by name he was proclaimed King by other Schismaticall Rebells in the 33. of Elizabeth read Conspira pag. 66. and the Annalls of England collected by Iohn Stow pag. 1288. Also in the same 33. yeare of Queen Elizabeth I read of another Braine-sick Rebell who with trayterous words reviled her Majesty and defaced her Armes and pierced in that part of her picture which did represent her breast and heart for the which treason hee was justly put to death July 26. in the yeare above named Read the fore-named Iohn Stow his Annals p. 1289. Almighty God who hast delivered Queen Elizabeth and K. Iames from all their enemies preserve also King Charles his sacred Majesty from all his and our mortall phanatick and Braine-sicke Schismaticall foes Amen Stigma 19. They revile Gods Divine Service prophanely tearming the same Porredge and the Popes Masse-booke yea their blinde zeale will not permit the reading of the Sacred Scriptures in publick no nor to use our blessed Lords Prayer neither first nor last all our Service is no better than Masse if you will believe Schismaticks And being grossely scandalous with whoring couzenage and drunkennesse and slandering they put it oft saying it is the flesh for they are altogether spirituall forsooth Stigma 20. Last of all they are miserable close-fisted when our Kings Majesty demandeth his due for his Royall supportation and for the safety and defence of his Kingdomes I have read that on a time Constantinople was besieged a long time together and at last the enemy was minded to give over the siege and bee gone but newes came to the enemy that the souldiers within the City were growne verie weak and discontented for want of their pay the enemy then returned and in short space took the City there they found infinite store of gold and all manner of treasure the hundred part thereof would have payed the Souldiers and so have kept out the enemy and preserved all The enemy himselfe seeing the treasure hid basely hee lamented their folly and this is a Proverb to this day among the Turks when one becommeth very rich You have beene at the siege of Constantinople I leave this Bone for all hide-bound close-fisted Schismaticks to gnaw upon I will adde what King Iames of ever blessed memory saith in his learned {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} verbatim his words are these in the 42. page of the said Booke These are very Pests in Church and Common-weale whom neither oathes nor promises can bind breathing out nothing but sedition and calumnies aspiring without measure and rayling without reason making their owne imaginations without any warrant of Gods Word the square of their consciences I protest before the great God and since it is no time for mee to lye being now upon my Testament that yee shall never finde with any hy-land or border-theeves greater ingratitude and more lyes and vile perjuries than with these Phanatick spirits Read the rest of this Page and the 43. of this most excellent Booke I will adde what I read in the Book of Homilies Tome 1. p. 36. The world from the beginning till now was ever prompt and ready to fall from God and his holy Commandements in seeking other devices of their owne braines and a devotion found out by the Devill and themselves the which idle dreames and devices they ever set up above Gods Commandements What man of learning and sound judgement doth not see how hypocrisie schisme and faction and heresie doe not daily more and more creep into our Church The foure Leaven thereof doth almost foure the unleavened lumpe I will conclude with that reverend Bishop Iuell indeed the Juell of our Church whose Workes are famous in our severall Churches He saith O immortall God have all our Orthodox Divines beene out of the way and now are a sort of Schismaticks onely in the truth God forbid God forbid It hath been an old complaint even from the first time of the Patriarchs and Prophets confirmed by the writings and testimonies of every age veritatem in terris peregrinam agere interagnotos facile inimicos calumniatores invenire Apologia Eccles. Ang. And God affect all our hearts with a serious and frequent cogitation of sicknesse death and the last judgement that we may all feare God and honour our King and live in peace as good subjects should doe according to Gods holy Word and blessed Ordinance that in whatsoever we do think or speake wee may ever minde that terrible voyce Surgite mortui venite ad judicium St. Hieron. de Reg. Monarch Chap. 30. Saint Hierom oft did well record The second comming of our Lord When this huge Globe shall with fire flame And all the creatures in the same Therefore all minde that dreadfull doome Arise you dead to judgement come Here followeth my Phantasie or Conceit between Tom-asse Pragmaticus and Nick-all-asse Non-sence THomas thus began to vapour Oh brother Nickallas come come give me thy hand give me thy hand well met well met what newes about religion the time is come we looked for there are rods in these popish times in pisse for all those papisticall Protestants and for this Episcopall Dependant Government and Governours what saist thou Nickallas Nick Ha ha he well emet well emet brother Tom ge me thy han ge me thy vest I say I con but laugh ha ha lie Oh my zide oh my belly I zay what did you hire of the Protestation protested wherein thuck zweet Teacher you know who doe say that this government is popish as indeed 't is my Creed Tom.

I hit that in his teeth and he said that he did put up one picture of St. Iames in St. Iames his Church and because he stood bare-headed at the time of Divine Service therefore we have puld it downe But the next time hee shall bee set up with his hat on his head sitting on his Bum. I

asked him why he gave thanks for Benefactors and he replyed The practise of Oxford-Schollers was Christian for they rehearse in the Pulpit a large Catalogue of Benefactors by name and giving God thanks for them all because they loved our nation and have built us Synagogues I heard him say also that authority have removed the railes from the Communion-table but Brairsick Schismaticks have brought all their railings into Pulpits where they prate of Mag-pyes Cocks-combs Rooks and Wood-cocks Jack Dawes Crowes Ravens their cousen German and of Crossing and lyes Psal. 59. 12.

I asked him who he meant by those Brain-sick fellows and he said he did well hope they had beene all at Roter-dam or Amsterdam But being my poore harmlesse Verses have done their Errand and Schisme and Faction hath made application therefore now downe with them downe with them even to the ground thus we see his ignorance I asked him where the soule of Lazarus was while his body lay in the ground and whether he did inherit his lands againe when he was restored to life and he smiled as indeed his common manner is and said he would not answer a foole in his folly I demanded of him also what God was doing before he made the world and hee said for ought he knew God was preparing hell-fire to torment Brain-sick fooles unlesse they doe repent in time Nick I harden zay that which we call porredge and Masse is Gods Divine Service what zaist thou Tom.
