came up again to L. Mr. Farrington told me the House was taken over his Head by one Mr. Streaton and that yet he had so far prevailed with the Landlords that if he could produce a Years Rent aforehand he yet should have the house and told me I must deposit 25 l. of it and then I should go Partners with him I told him that I had no money and was poor and If I had I would not lay it down so and that by Articles I was to have half this Quarter and so on without medling with the Rent he replied that the Articles were worth nothing in Law and then I began to smell him out and told him then I hoped to have the Benefit of it as well as he so we parted about the beginning of April 1680. the next day being Tuesday at nine of the Clock at Night I being sick a bed Mr. Farington sent one Mr. Forrest for me to come to Mr. Stretton and him at the Cheshire Cheese in New Market I told him I could not then and it was not a fit time if I had been well the Gentleman told me that Mr. Stretton told Mr. Far. that he had not taken the House but because he brought me in there I desired him to tell Mr. Far. before Mr. Stretton that I would have him discharge me that he might come to no more Damage by me and that Mr. Stretton accused me of slandering him I said to Mr. Forrest and prayed him to tell Mr. Stretton that what I said in the Publick place of him was by Mr. Faringtons Order or else I should not have preached that day and that I would at any other time meet Mr. Stretton and satisfie him but he never sent for me yet But it was reported at Mr. Farrington's Meeting that a Coach came for me to come to Mr. Jenkins Mr. Baxter and Mr. Turner but I refused which Lie I believe came from that corrupt Fountain that once professed in publick that he was given to lying and Covetousness which both my Purse and Body have been very sensible of this 16 weaks well I sent on Saturday following to Mr. Farington to know if I should continue Preaching with him he sent me Answer that he would excuse me he would do it himself since which I have preached in Compton Street and do intend to continue God willing and never move to trouble Mr. Farington and am sorry I have ever Upon this little Storm I was to be metamorphosied into a Jesuit by whose Malice and Subtilty I leave to God as Acteon was into a Stag that I might be hunted to Death out of their way and being one Lords day by Providence called to preach in Southwark to one Mr. Madocks an honest sober Gentleman as far as I know where I preached upon the Sacrament and in his hearing and the rest neither asserted Consubstantiation with the Lutherans or Transubstantiation with the Papists which I suppose no Jesuit in the World would deny if he should preach upon it Yet for all this this Monster of a Jesuit must be brought forth like Aarons gol-Calf cast into the fiery Passions of some self-ended Zealots and there came out the Jesuit this Gentleman Mr. Madocks being as I was informed at the Spittle at Dr. Ainsloes Synod there came the Jesuit out I will not say it was formed in that Class but Mr. Nathaniel Vincent a Gentleman to me a Stranger contrary to the Law and Rules of Charity there publickly the Act smelling a little of Envy for Interests sake traduced him for letting a Jesuit preach and that he was like to be as bad for so doing nor would his honest Testimony of my Doctrine quench their Flames but in all Hast I must come and appear before Mr. V. or I know not whom and truly had Mr. V. been so Civil as to have sent me word to attend him though it had been a little magisterical and prelatical Before he had Jesuitized me and traduced Mr. Maddocks truly I would have gone upon my Hands But after he had done me all the Wrong he could then I supposed another way of Vindication more pleasing to me than to prostrate to Self and Pride and thorow Evil to bring out Good but these men are more versed in the Corinthian Law to hang a man and then Judge him than in the Laws of the pure Love of Christ and this by my own Experience I have found And now they have brought an imaginary Jesuit out of the Chymeraes of their own Brains we want Judicious Moses to grind him to Powder and cast him into the Waters of Oblivion but I heartily wish that none of the fond Founders of this Jesuit be forced to drink in all their Potions the Powder of this Jesuit as the Jews did of their Golden Calf and I wish a little time do not manifest it The next thing is my Book Libella sua fata habebant must come under the Severity of their lashing Censures whereas I hear five Objections are made against it beside that I did not come to ask their Master-ships Leave to do it 1. That about Gods laying Iniquity it self upon Christ pag. 11.12.13.14.15 of my Book God imputes to Believers Christs Righteousness and his Holiness also Heb. 13.12 and 10.14 for their Justification and per contra imputed to him our Sins and Impieties and then is the Church without Spot and Blemish before God Col. 1.22 Ephes 5.26.27 compared with Cant. 4.7 and Numb the 23.21 and Rev. 14.5 Heb. 1.3 10.7.10 14. Heb. 9.26 and consult Doctor Crisp's Sermons upon the 53. Isa The next Objection is That I affirm that Faith Repentance and new Obedience are not Conditions of our Justification that being freely by Grace but Fruits and Effects of it When their Worships shall please to answer my Book I shall God willing have in Readiness a Reply to answer this and other Objections fully to the Satisfaction of the honest humble Soul The next Objection is about the personal Reign of Christ whom I affirm will with his Saints reign in Person over the Kingdoms of this World and that at the end of the Roman or 4. Monarchy and that at the end of the little Horn that shall of all the ten wear out the Saints Christ shall come in the Clouds Dan. 7.17.18.21 22.25 26 27. verse Acts 3.19.20.21 Whom the Heavens must contain till the Restitution of all things 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or till the time that all things that now seem fallen and dead shall again stand on its Legs See Rev. 5.6 7 8 9 10. the twenty four Elders the dead Saints of old and new Testament must reign upon Earth and the Kingdoms of this World shall be delivered to Christ and them Rev. 11.15 10.6.7 and then the Mistery shall be finished that is not yet For all these Gent. think that they have all the Truth in the World like Homers Illiads in a Nut-shell in their Fists but Haud parum
