A78222	Apodeixis tou antiteichismatos. Or, a tryall of the counter-scarfe, made 1642. In answer to a scandalous pamphlet, intituled, A treatise against superstitious Iesu-worship: written by Mascall Giles, Vicar of Ditchling in Sussex.

you To the Minor I answer if you understand by creatures all sorts in the Creation it is not required But if you mind rationall creatures onely it is answered before that if it be not begun it ought to be and you confesse it is by some Hitherto your great labour hath thrived ill Faber in cìppo sedet quem sua manu fecit SECTION IX WHatsoever exposition of a Text will inferre an inequality of worship betweene the three Persons of the Trinity is false But so to expound the Text as before mentioned will inferre an inequality of worship betweene the three Persons of the Trinity Ergo. It is a false Exposition The Major is plaine because the three Persons being co-aquall ought to have a co-equall worship agreeable to John 5.23 Every one must honour the Sonne as they honour the Father The Minor is plaine for they by their exposition of the said Text Phil. 2.9.10 doe inferre a bowing at one of the Titles of the Sonne which they doe not practise at the Titles of any other Person Answer The Minor is false Bowing at the Name of Iesus doth not infer an inequality of worship In your proofe you goe fallaciously to work Not distinguishing the Name and the relations or not minding one essentiall Name of the three you insinuate that the bowing at the Name of Iesus makes the Son more honourable then the Father If it were the Name of the relation we bowed at there might be some ground for you yet if you would learne to consider the dispensation not much Know then that one God is the Trinity and that this S. Trinity which is one God nec recedit a numero nec capitur numero neither recedes from nor is contained by number Not from number because the Persons are ad invicem and in that they are in se they are without number So one essentiall Name pertaines to this Holy Trinity which cannot be plurall to the three Persons This is the determination of the Councell of Toledo Concil Tolet. 11. The answer given to this reason is twofold First they affirme that they worship all alike in Spirit and Truth and that the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 translated even as in Iohn 5.23 doth intend onely a truenesse of worship not every way an equall correspondency I reply that the Persons being equall must have an equall worship and the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 must be there taken for the selfesame worship in likenesse and kind because praise and glory and honour is due to God Rom. 11. last If to God then to every Person in Trinity because every Person i● God We are to serve God with our bodies as well as with our soules outward honour is true honour as well as that which is inward If then all honour both outward and inward be to be done to God not any honour must be performed to one Person that must not be performed to another therefore if we be bound to honour the Sonne by bowing at his Name wee are also bound to honour the Father by bowing to his but if we bee not bound so to honour the Father neither are we so bound to honour the Son For the exposition of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 even as in Iohn 5. * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 inquam i. e. pari eodem planè honore qu● omnes patrem honorant paulo ante Quibus aequalis imo modis omnibus idem debetur honor Zanchius de tribu● Elohim parte priore l. 4. c 2. p. 93● Zanchius saith thus Even as they honour the Father that is I say saith he with the like selfe same honour plainly wherewith all honour the Father and a little before to whom saith he an equall yea every way the selfe same honor is due Answer See now whether the answer which I made when you propounded the question first to me though suddenly given doe and and ever will stand right or no This it was The Sonne ought to be honoured 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Father that is with one and the same worship as truly and perfectly as the Father is and this I told you was Orthodoxe Said I more or said I lesse Your reply was then that you would write your mind and so after three yeares studdy in the question you have What ere it is a Monster it that was so long in hatching It seemes beautifull in the face Horat. de or poet Sed turpiter atrum desinit in piscem You confesse that the Persons being equall must have an equall worship and the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 must be there taken for the selfe same worship outward and inward Because every Person is God Whence you infer if we be bound to honour the Sonne at his Name we are also bound to honour the Father by bowing to his If not the one then not the other For 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is with the selfe same honour plainly Here is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 you have changed the principle and are gone from the Name to the relation The question is not whether wee are bound to bow at the Name of the Son that is when the Son is named or at the Name of the Father that is when the Father is named We may doe all if we please for not being expressely commanded t is no where forbidden But the question is whether bowing at the Name of Iesus the Persons be equally honoured or no You cannot prove they are not I le shew you how they are Compared ad invicem they are three in se one The essentiall Name being not plurall to the three is one and the same to every one and all Our worship then of any one makes no inequalitie among the three which are so one in themselves that one cannot be another save in relation one to another For he that honours the Son honours the Father and who honours not the Son honours not the Father as in the same verse Ioh. 5.23 and 12.45.46 You have therefore slandered us here egregiously in affirming with impudencie and non-sense enough that we intend by 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a truenesse of worship not every way an equall correspondencie I tell you once more and remember it alwayes That our not bowing at the Name of the Father nor at the Name of the Sonne nor at the Name of the Holy-Ghost but at the Name of Iesus shewes that they being three one to another are but one in themselves and that our Salvation was wrought equally by them three though terminated onely in the Sonne See my Antiteich Tract 9. p. 93. Secondly They answer that they doe not put a difference betweene the Three Persons for by bowing at the Name Iesus they worship all the three Persons in one because they cannot be divided I reply Though they cannot be divided yet they may be distinguished and that in their worship too else that place of Iohn were to no purpose S.
