called his errors the restitution of Christianity And others that are wanderers hope to steal upon truth undiscerned by the conduct of new words and unused phrases and ever when men in their nomination of things do vary from the Law which is the quintessence of reason they do it in a humour which is the quintessence of fancy and when men suppress their opinions till they see a fit season 't is a sign they are more factors for fame then Lovers of truth and have a design of self to which the night of this or that policy not the Sun-light of an honest and open ingenuity must give furtherance The Right Reverend and Learned deceased Bishop of Salisbury tels us that in the Synod of Dort when the fourteen Divines that had subscribed their opinions in affirmance of Arminius his Doctrine first were demanded by the Synod severally whether they now acknowledged for their Doctsine that which formerly they had set down in collatione Hagiensi and published in print not one of those fourteen could be drawn to say in plain and expresst terms that he either held that Doctrine for true or he held it not but as S t Jerome wrote to Pammachi us concerning John Bishop of Jerusalem I cannot brook ambiguous words and sentences that bear two senses truths are best in their open dress what he accounts simplicity I call the malice of his stile loc that beleeves aright ought not to speak in a phrase unusual unapproved by true beleevers and Orthodox Christians Alas words are cheap when Boner was Elect of London he said he blamed Stokesly Bishop of London his Predecessor for troubling those who had the Bible in English saying God willing he did not so much hinder but I will as much further it yet he proved a most bloudy wretch and he can do little to his advantage that hath not his quiver full of them and disperses them not about to the credulous vulgar who are in some tempers and on some occasions so devoted to charity that they give themselves up to beleeve whatever is communicated to them in a serious manner with invocation of God and seeming self-denial When Nestorius after Sisinrius became Bishop of Constantinople he made an Oration to the Emperour in which he blasphemously said O Emperour clear the world of Heresie meaning the Orthodox belief and I will give thee heaven for thy reward yet when this man had his preferment he proved as great a plague to those Cacodox Christians who were not of his minde as to the Orthodox for within five daies after he was setled in his See he decreed demolition of the Arians Church and soon after vexed the Novatians because Paul their Bishop had a good name and was thought a pious man when once men swerve from Catholique Tenents and Phrases they run into a Cyclops den both of infernal pride and confusion and without great mercy never return thence by repentance but perish in their gainsaying for true is that of Tertullian Quod apud multos unum invenitur non est erratum sed irradiatum And therefore as the Sceptiques of old by their upstart Pedantism endeavoured abolition of all good learning turning all into utrum's and questionary debates and for that reason were opposed by the Ancients and their followers with great mordacity 〈◊〉 ought these in their new Systems 〈◊〉 Divinity to be treated as persons that have somewhat to vent contrary to the received faith who word it contrary to the received phrase And those saith a learned Bishop that will arrogate to themselves a new Church or new Religion or new holy orders must produce new miracles new revelations and new cloven tongues for their justification Till when I shall joyn with the Church of Christ in the belief that the spirit of the Prophets is subject to the Prophets and that the Schools of the Prophets are most probable to acquaint men with truth and peace and to disseminate it amongst the people as that which will at once make happy both Church and State And though as the Jews in Christ's case and the Heathens in Christians cases bitterly inveighed sharpening powers against them as stirrers up of the people to mutinies and rebellions so it be common now also to possess Governours with ill principles in distrust of pious and regular Ministers and Professors yet will it be found upon search that nothing laies so strong a ground of just Government as true Religion for besides that Gods restraint is upon them and they dare not do that in his eye which will be rebuked by his word and punished by his hand of Justice they cannot be ill subjects upon the account of retaliation for where they receive protection they ex debito owe subjection and are injurious and ingrateful if they pay it not And no Magistrate is so merciless to his own fame as he who neglects to be a nursing Father to the Church and a Patron to her Schools of learning Digna certe res in qua totum occupetnr Parliamentum nisi enim haec semina dostrinae teneris animis tempestivè sparsa fuerint quaenam in Republica vel exoriatur spes vel adolescat virtus vel effloreseat pura Religio vera faelicitas As the University of Oxford phraseth it in their Letter to the Marquess of Northampton temp Edw. 6. For take away the encouragements of learning what despicable combinations of men will Common-wealths be what shall we do for learned Politicians skilful Physicians subtil Lawyers reverend Antiquaries polite Orators acurate Logicians and Schoolmen and facetious Poets Non omnis fert omnia tellus God and Nature by his leave makes us men but 't is Learning and Art renders us wise and worthy Houses of Learning are the Palaces in which these royal wits are educated and the world is as the field in which they scatter their seeds of renown and the stock on which they graft their noble Cyons and therefore as S t Jerome after he had writ that Summary of Ecclesiastical Writers from Christ's to his time breaks out Discant ergo Celsus Porphyrius Julianus rapidi adversus Christum canes c. Let them know quoth he who think the Church of Christ produces no eloquent Writers that they are deceived for there hath ever been a number of such who in all times have â—lourished in her and her have vindicated from that imputation of rustical simplicity that those Ethniques have charged on her So must I brand these enemies of Schools and learning as underminers of order civility and all good institution and endeavourers to surprise the Capitol of our Faith when learned men as the watch thereof are drawn off and discharged and therefore I appeal to such as prosecute Learning with contempt in S t Jerom's words to Jovinian when rehearsing that of the Apostle They are clouds without water he says Nonne tibi videtur pinxisse sermo Apostolicus Novam imperitiae factionem
Ark been taken by the Philistims the glory had been departed from the Israel of Gods Church How much prophane mirth would the sonnes of Error have made with these Songs of Zion had God given them up into their power But blessed be God the Church hath ever had ane held the Scriptures in high value though not admitted all parts of it for Canon at one and the same time sometimes they found parts of it not in good hands as they thought other parts by Hereticks were corrupted and handed to them not as they were in the autographon but with emendations to which were added many spurious and rejectitious Gospels Prophecies and Epistles fitted to answer the lying divination Satan had no foot other parts of Scripture not primariò authenticae the ancients allowed to be read sub regulâ morum but not as a rule of faith but such only as were received from Prophets and allowed by Christ Jesus his Apostles and their Scribes and Schollers and their successors hath the Church owned and adhered to and those are the Books in the Canon of our holy Mother the Church of England not that all mouthes have been stopped or all Christians agreed in the harmony no all have not beleeeved Gods testimony in the Churches report and traditional fidelity S t Jerom tells us that it was usual with hereticks to corrupt Catholick Authors the Eunomians dealt thus with Clemens the elder and Ruffinus is not behind-hand for this trick while he prefixed the Name of a holy Martyr to a book of Arrianisme and Evagrius charges them of entitling their hereticall books with the Names of Holy Orthodox men such as Athanasius Gregorius Thaumaturgus and Julius in brief Theodoret is round with them telling us they cared not what Law they broke what boldness and freedom they took for maintenance of their wickedness nay oftentimes they made it the master-piece of their blasphemy to violate the holy Law of God As men in groves cut this stick and that wand they like and leave the rest so pick erroneous men this book and that passage here and there and leave the rest as useless Whatever is contrary to their device and casts dirt in their face they reject and disown their darkness and the light of Scripture agrees not Light is au ill guest to an ill conscience and because Scripture troubles their Owle eyes and dismantles their impostry they cannot away with it Tertullian perstringes the Valentinians for their clucking into corners and their sculking up and down and sayes Our Doves-coat hath no guile is open and visible to all comers who have liberty to see and hear what we do And 't is a Note unimprobated that patrons and professors of error and none but such have ever dishonoured Scripture or questioned its authority nor have ever any who had a grounded hope of Heaven by Gods mercy held themselves above Ordinances as the means of attaining it nor have they ever pick'd and choos'd cull'd and refus'd this and not that Ordinance but had respect to all Gods commands and equally adored all his dispensations Charge an holy soul with queaziness in this kind object to it that it loves not to be limited and enlarged by the word not to humble it self to God in prayer not to obey Authority for the Lord and for conscience sake and it answers in Hazael's word Am I a dog that I should do this No this spot is not the spot of Gods people 't would be a sully which mountains of niter could not cleanse 'T is true indeed in the interpretation of this or that particular Scripture there hath been yet is and ever will be to the end of the world different opinions and many passions have lathered so high that charity hath often layen in the suds as is the Proverb even amongst men otherwayes without exception as between S t Augustine and S t Jerom in the Exposition on the second Chap. of the Galatians yea and in many things and under many temptations some of you have lived and spoken somewhat against the majesty and authority of the holy Scripture as Origen by Name who therefore confessed his errors and publikely retracted them as appears in his Epistle to Fabian and as S t Jerom testifies in his Epistle to Pammachius and Oceanus And therefore Legends Canons and Traditions brought into some Churches as grounds of belief and made obligatory to the conscience as onely the holy Scriptures ought to be held are but of late date in the Christian Church for S t Jerom or Epiphanius in him writes thus to Theophilus That thou mindest us of Church-Canons we thank thee but know this that nothing is so antique as the Laws and rights of Christ And Father Marinarus in the Counsel of Trent denied that the Fathers made Traditions to stand in competition with Scripture but good man he was born down with the many voices that decried his sound assertion as that which better beseemed a Colloquie in Germany then a Counsel of the universal Church but what he said was nevertheless true because disliked by those vipers for as they then so their predecessors long before cried up Traditions and perhaps they had it from the Jews or rather from the devil the author of it both in Jews and others Our Lord Jesus arraigns the Jews for making void the Commandements of God by mens traditions and transgressing the Commandements of God by traditions yea of rejecting the Commandements of God to fulfill them and the Apostle S t Paul reproves this and cautions against it Beware saith he least any man spoyl you through Philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ Where the Apostle doth not simply dehort from traditions in affirmance of Scripture or civil custom but from such use of traditions as tends to the eclipse of the testimony of truth in the word written which is transcendently above the witness of man and therefore I cry out to all those New-lights as S t Jerom did Spare your pains hug not the cloud of your conceits instead of the Juno truth Why do you bring that to sale which the primitive Church for four hundred years never heard of Why take you upon your shoulders that task which Peter and Paul never taught nor were they now alive would own untill this day the Christian world hath been without this Doctrine and I in mine old age will profess that faith in which I was born and into which baptized Would S t Jerom have been stanch had he lived to these times wherein old and sound Religion is like wormeaten lumber cast into the outhouses or like unfashionable furniture turned out of the chambers of note to adorn the Nursery or the Chaplains lodgings I trow he would and had he he must have reproached many professors who now would pull
aperiunt enim quasi fontes sapientiae qui aquam non habent doctrinarum promittunt imbrem velut nubes propheticae ad quas perveniat veritas Dei turbinibus exagitantur demonum vitiorum So he Alas they are in a devious road to fame who endeavour Learnings ruine and deserve no nobler a memoriall then Scylla had whose evils were so great that there was neither leâ—t place for greater nor number for more That wise man of the Garamantes spake truth to Alexander Glory ariseth not from violent substraction of what is anothers but from bestowing on others what is our own the best way to be remembred for gallant is to write our memoriall in the Table Adamant of a Charity and Bounty that may outlast us I love Aemilius his gravity and imitable worth his vertuous minde and Learned head better then Aristippus his rapacious heart though it had to friend a grave countenance and a purple robe The Lord deliver the Learned from those men who would have the Name of Learned perish and their seed begg their bread and give and preserve to them such Kings and Protectors as may speak comfortably to them as God did to his He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of mine eye Thirdly Antiquity and Elder times have been Zealous for Government and Order in the Church as the Church of Christ hath no custom for contention so not for coâ—fusion God is order and good discipline is one way to make men conform to God as orders Law-giver S t Cyprian one of the first Fathers and a noble Martyr defines Discipline the keeper of hope the conservative of faith a good conductor in our race of Christianity a benefit reaching forth security and increase to those that embrace her and portending destruction to those that refuse or neglect her And Calvin when he disownes all Church usurpation yet concludes That the Church hath Laws of order to promote concord and defend government And reason it should be so for if God be order and his administrations be orderly as himself then disorder as nothing of his ought to be kept out of the Church to which it is peculiarly an enemy The Church is a treasury disorder robbs it 'T is a clear stream of living water disorder puddles it 'T is a fair and bright Heaven disorder clouds and inlowers it 'T is a chart virgin disorder is an impure raptor and corrupts it 'T is a precious orb of spicknard disorder like dead flies putrifies it The foresight of this made our Lord Jesus bespangle his Church with gifts to all purposes of Order and Ornnament He hath set sayes S t Paul in the Church first Apostles secondarily Prophets thirdly Teachers then gifts of healing Helps to Governments diversities of tongues And now I have found Church and Government both in a Scripture I hope I may without offence joyn them together Church-Government and assert that of Divine Institution I think most parties are agreed that Government Ecclesiastique as well as Civil is of God all the litigation is What this Ecclesiastique Government which is of God is By what Name and Title it is distinguished and dignified And God wot the heat and humour of peevish brains have set Paul and Barnabas as it were asunder nay hath made such a crack in Christian Eutaxie ' that as Bernardas Dyas Bishop of Calatrore said of the Church of Vicenza that may I of this Chuach of England It is so disordered that it requireth more an Apostle then a Bishop Orpheus sooner charmed Pluto and Proserpina to part with his Eurydice then men amongst us be perswaded to part with their passions though all their swellings and monstrous impregnations like that of the mountains produce only a Mouse a most ridiculous and inglorious scabb of self-conceited Leprosie One party will have Church-Discipline so precisely set down in the Word of God that nothing is left to Christian prudence to alter Others are diametrall to these and make with Cardinall Cusanus Government accountable to the times as he said Scripture was and therefore to be expounded according to the current rites and yet forsooth it is not to be meant as if the Church at one time expoundeth in one fashion and at another time in another sort a Riddle the Scripture must be expounded according to the times and the times according to which Scripture is to be expounded are now this an on that and yet the Church must not be meant to expound it in one fashion at one time and in another fashion another time There are a third sort who fix the essentials of Government in Scripture and the collaterals they admit as left to the order of the particular Churches of Christ this I take to be most safe and moderate and this S t Augustine delivers as his Opinion to Januarius long ago These things quoth be are left free there is no appointment by God concerning them prudent Christians are at liberty to conform to whatever Church they come and in which they live for whatever is enjoyned not contrary to faith and good manners ought to be submitted to for peace and civil societies sake and I saith the Father diligently considering this thorowly do deliver this as an Oracle receiving confirmation from God And truly this I judge to be the meaning of those brotherly expressions that have and ought ever to ebbe and flow from Christian Churches to each other and from the Protestant Churches especially For if the Church of England when it was under Episcopacy saved the rights of other Churches which were disciplinary and condemned them not but held correspondency with them giving them the right hand of fellowship and the other forreign Churches published their candor and approbation of Episcopacy where it was constituted and pressed obedience to it witnesse Reverend Calviâ— in divers places and on divers occasions Learned Zanchy Grave Bucer Eloquent Beza Profound Mâ—uline Accomplisht Chamier yea and multitudes of others of note in the Reformed Churches then doth this arise from that apprehension that the generals of Government being one and the same under both Disciplines Charity ought to passe the rest to the least injury of Christian Concord Farre be it from me to part whom God hath joyned together Wherein the Churches agree let them mind the things that tend to piety and unity the rest God will reveal in his good time for as Calvin after S t Augustine determines it Let every Church observe her own Customs It is profitable sometimes that Religion should have some variety so there be no â—mulation and new things be not introduced for novelties sake The Churches of Christ then have agreed upon Government as appointed by God yea and about the persons interessed in it those Bishops Presbyters and Deacons they never owned Armilustra's in which Souldiers were Priests nor Gifted men unordained for Church Officers this is of
and by Learned Bishops and Presbyters both of this and other Churches the Scheme of our Church-service and decency was ordered and to such a degree refined that Spalatenses a Forreign cals our old Praier-Book Breviarium optimè reformatum And no otherwise thought our Parliaments of those times as 5. 6. Ed 6. c. 1. 1. Eliz. c. 2. 8. Eliz. c. 1. call it a godly and virtuous Book and a means together with the preaching of the Word and Administration of the Sacraments of the pouring forth of the blessings of God upon the Land Yea when the Popish Parliament of prâ— Q. Mary repealed the Act of the 6. Ed. 6. by which this uniformity of worship according to the Common-Praier-Book was setled The Stat. of 1 El. c. 2. saies That Repeal of Q. Mary was to the great decay of the due honour â—f God and discomfort to the professors of the truth of Christs Religion But we are wiser in our generation then those Fathers of Light our worthy Progenitors We are more holy then they because lesse orderly lesse solemn in our service of God then they yea to excuse our selves We pretene their Reformation was but partiall whenas God knows there are who wisely beleeve that their settlemenrs were such as will not be bettered by any their Successors For although they appointed set Forms of devotion for the Publike as a help to their weaknesse who could not pray without them and as a prudent entertainment of the Congregation while it was gathering which in great Parishes was long and unto Servants who came late beneficiall for by that means could they get time enough to Sermon yet intended they it never to justle out the gifts of men whom God had specially enabled to extemporary praier who therefore were left free to use their gifts both in their Families and before and after their Sermons Nor to soothe up people in ignorance or so to accustome them to Forms that they should never endeavour by seeking more interest in God to receive more ability from him Nor did they appoint Holy dayes to be kept in obedience to any Popish Canon or in memory of Saints but upon civil reasons thereby to give people ease from their hard labours and to call them to the service of God in prayers and praising of him as sayes the Statute of 5 and 6 Ed. 6. c. 3. Neither hath this Church kept decent habits for her Ministry out of a desire to symbolize with Popelings but according to the wisedom of the first Reformation confirmed by the 30 th Injunction of Queen Elizabeth wherein habits for order and distinction sake were enjoyned Ministers in their Universities and Churches These I say though carped at by many were harmlesly setled and some think might usefully have been continued but they are disused now and how much purer our Religion hath been since they have been voted down let the world judg Nunc seges ubi Troja fuit Only if good pretentions were enough the Donatists had them as much as the Orthodox yet 't was observed justly of them that their designs were brought forth by passion nourished by ambition and confirmed by covetousness I will not say any thing of those who wheâ—â— they had place misplaced things well ordered let God plead his own cause Aliter hominum livor aliter Christus judicat non eadem est sententia tribunalis ejus anguli susurronum multae hominibus viae videntur justae quae postea reperiuntur pravae saith S t Jerom Let men of fury and passion rave as they list being as S t Gregory stileth them appositely Bellonae sacerdotes non Eccleâ—iae Martis faces tibicines non Evangelii lumina Cometae infausti pestis dira omnia non stellae salutares Christum pronunciantes yet my judgement shall be with Gods leave calm and moderate I will pray for a peaceable temper and till I know better conclude that councel concerning forms and order in the Church good which reverend Calvin wrote to the Protector forementioned Vt certa illa extet a qua pastoribus discâ—dere non liceat I crave leave of the Reader for this excursion which I thought necessary and I hope he will not condemn as offensive A plain ingenious freedom best befits me who am to act no part but that of a good Christian and therefore it shall be my constant resolve to rank flatterers as Erasmus did Eriers inter falsos fratres who the more holy they pretend to be are the more execrable for nihil turpius sanctis parasitis But I leave them to their proper Judge and make to the third head of Antiquities Piety which consists In care to countenance truth and censure errors And here is good reason for this if we consider the nature of truth which makes the soul free not only in professing but also in not fearing what may be the consequence of boldly owning it which armed the Martyrs with invincible courage and made them more then conquerours over their fears and persecutors There is also much to be said for care to prevent growth of error even from the nature of error which in the words of Constantine the Great makes those in whom it raigns enemies to truth promoters of dissention and often of assassination counsellours to every thing contrary to truth favourers of dangerous and fabulous evils In a word being under a shew of piety great offenders and contagious to all that border on them The good Emperour by sad experience knew what shifts and deluding courses the Arians took to bring to pass their designs therefore laid he load of reproach on them And that not without cause for first they conveyed their poison under gilded pills and in not to be understood expressions and to such a clymax of vanity ascended they that they would allow none of the ancient Fathers to be compared to them but applaâ—ded themselves to be the only knowing men the only men of self-deniall the only men to whem Jesus Christ was revealed and to whom such mysteries were made known as never came into the thought or under the experience of any men before them that as Mahomet made use of an Epilepticall distemper in which to arrogate to himself divine authority so did these of an over self-conceit and pride of soul to be the only illuminates of their time Nay when Arius was called to account for his errors he averred he had rejected them and denied those to be his belief or doctrine swearing that he beleeved as did the Orthodox in the Nicene Counsell yet for all this holy Macarius made it his prayer to God to take Arius out of the Church least errors and heresies spawned too much for truth to overcome or outlustre them And good man it fell out as he feared for though the good Emperour took away from them their meeting places and commanded their return to the Church though they were condemned and banished
it supports it and without which honour would be honourless and he is much to be pitied who hath hands and head and has not taught them some subserviency to his necessities 't is a loose breeding and degenerous which provided not some stay against an evil time The learned and worthy S r In o Cheek Tutor to Edw. 6. being one of those that avowed the Title of the Lady Jane for which he was fain upon Queen Mary's coming to the Crown to fly was glad to take up his old Trade and relie upon that hidden Treasure of Parts which rendred him fit to be chosen Professor of the Greek Tongue at Sirasburg They are too coy who wholly trust on Lands and Moneys and cannot labour not want but are miserable when they miss a ceremonious folly they never mean to be Martyrs or be prescribed or suffer under the force of barbarous Rebels as the Irish Nobility and Gentry have done a long time who can do nothing but eat and drink and sleep and play and talk It is good to be Clerkly and acquainted with business to be handy and disposed to Country thrift a very great wisdome to be able thorow Gods blessing to do somthing towards subsistence Quaelibet patria Ingenioso patria Ingenuity and courage has given entertainment to great minds and persons when their friends and Tenants have disowned and their Lands yeelded them no bread I will conclude the Parallel of the Church and Professors of England with those of elder times in writing Books warily and so as truth had honour by them and the better to promote this here was ever an Imprimatur to pass upon all Books publickly to be vented and the Licensers were bound to take notice exactly of all things that went under their eye as they would answer the neglect upon their censure and great displeasure of Authority I know that Books have stollen into light which had they received their deserts should have been as Vives saith Cum authoribus suis ex toto consortio humani generis eliminandi deportandi in insulam ubi solae degunt ferae aut in illas Africae desertas arenas ubi nihil nascitur praeter venena Books derogatory to God to Government to civil property profane scurrilous and every way detestable they are not to be charged as faults on our Supervisors so long as they declare against them when they see them or would proceed against the Authors of them if they could be discovered But in Books of controversie our Church hath been exact and allowed those her best Champions who have least wandred from sound Authours and Doctrines A just weight and ballance gives adversaries least advantage Some in controversie are so rigid that they give no way keeping so high a dam that all bursts in pieces by their severity Others yeeld so far that they are at last nonplust how to make an honourable retreat to their party and not lose what may give their enemy the boast of conquest Ex utroque periculum In rough Seas shores are safe so rocks be avoided Passion is an ill ingredient to contests especially when it is permanent and such as doth not suit viro constanti therefore those who have with least acrimony entered the lists of controversie have been most success full for 't is easie in an humour or out of high animosity to say that which shall disadvantage a whole profession But this God be blessed few of our Church have done we have in all controversies so carried Arguments that there hath no blemish rested on us but that which we account our virtue that we are constant And as our Polemiques so our practical Books have been rare and by all Christians that could reade and understand them requested What accounts has our Nation had and yet has from her Preachers and Writers of the treasures of art and holy Theologie what rare discourses are there extant in all Sciences on all Subjects for all Seasons The world judgeth our Church and Nation Learned to a wonder and yet some amongst us who know better prefer forreign counsels and models above those at home which I think with submission to their better judgements will appear when moderated most convenient and usefull to carry on peace and piety amongst us Indeed I should rejoyce to see beauty and order in Church-matters and I blesse God for so much of it as yet there is that which grieves me is that the Charret-wheels of our settlement go so slow that passions are more in request then praiers and tears and that men fear not to run mad when to use a womans phrase they bark against the Crucifix and revile the Spouse of Christ of whom they ought not to speak but calmly and with reverence It is no good Argument of Gods being amongst us when we are thus broken in judgement and so evil-eyed to one another But I hope God will send Peace and Truth in our daies I trust to see Religion and Learning a praise in the earth My ambition is to finde that in Christians now adaies that Baroniuâ— notes was soon after Christs time It was saith he Christians praise tc have little to do which arose to a debate but if casually Christians were at variance care was to take it up and avoid scandal For our Lord hath given the rule to be at peace one with another FINIS Errata PAge 14. marg reade M.
