Cruelty I say accompanied with such things as I have named is one of their main guards or supports of their Religion It is like a wall of fire round about them so that if any among them shall but attempt to get out from them what can they look for but Fire and Faggot or a most hellish Inquisition if they catch them And what tortures and torments are acted there may sufficiently affright and terrifie such as think of deserting them This Cruelty is innate to their Religion for finding themselves defective of truth to uphold it they make it up with cruelty and with lyes when they have done to hide it That horrid piece of Cruelty intended by the Gunpowder-Plot and carried on so far as it went by their Creatures though those Actors in that work of darkness be honoured by them at Rome yet they would have you believe that it was only a trick of State so impudently shameless are they in forging lyes They would also make you believe that the Book of Martyrs is full of lyes and no better than a Fable because it records the abominable Butcheries and Cruelties which by them were acted upon conscientious people And all the ground they have to belye it is from hence that there was a mistake or two in it which Fox himself who was the Composer of that Book first discovered having had some wrong information given him in those particulars Thus they are not ashamed to act Cruclties but are ashamed to be apprehended therein for indeed their actions are so barbarous that even humane nature may blush to be found guilty thereof And yet they are fain to fly to this refuge of defence to uphold their Religion and also for the propagating of it For indeed to speak properly it is not the Kingdom of God and of Christ having truth for its foundation which they uphold but it 's a Kingdom of pride luxury and wantonness and debauchery which wants a foundation in truth therefore fly they to Cruelty for their support And their Cruelty so rings over the World that all but themselves and their slaves dread to come under their power For there is no mercy in them to old or young male or female to innocent Babes or Women with Child Oh the tortures and the invented devices of Cruelty that they put people to in Ireland since our memory in the year 1642. driving them into Rivers by droves and keeping them therein from getting-forth till they were drowned This was the easiest death they put them to Some they hanged some they ript open and let out their bowels some they starved to death some they buried alive ript up Women with Child dashed the heads of Infants against the stones commonly stript Men and Women naked and caused them to perish with cold and hunger many most beastly and barbarous tortures they put both Men and Women to And this now is their way of defending and propagating their Religion which their God who was a Murderer from the beginning acts them violently forward in Time was when they were something more moderate in their bloody ways when they cited people into their Courts and gave them a Tryal at their Laws and suffered them to argue for their Religion But now they are become violently savage and bruitish beyond all humane modesty whereby we may take notice of two things 1. That they are Seducers and that we need not doubt of because they wax worse and worse according to the Character which the Apostle gives of Seducers 2 Tim. 3.13 Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived 2. We may hence also have strong hopes that they have but a short time to reign and rage in the World for therefore Satan is come down among them with great rage knowing that he hath but a short time This their Cruelty now and not Truth is one of the grand pillars by which their Kingdom is upheld Secondly Another pillar upon which their Irreligion as I may call it or Kingdom of Darkness stands is Ignorance They take away the Key of Knowledge from men and keep them in blindness that so they may be led by them as they please And to colour this piece of policy they would perswade their people that Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion and that the Scriptures make men Hereticks as some of them in the Massacre in Ireland got an English Bible and trampling upon it in the dirt as is informed cursed it saying that that was the cause or ground of all the Difference and therefore it is a thing not to be born with by them that any of their Lay-people as they term them should have the Bible or Testament except it be as they have corrupted it So they keep them from that that they may keep them in ignorance and they keep them in ignorance that they may rule them as they please and the people being deluded by them are willing to have it so for they see not the Serpent's subtilty that lyes hidden under that Maxime That Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion It is indeed the Mother of Devotion but to whom Not to God I testifie but to the Pope and his superstitious and idolatrous Worship Ignorance keeps men devout to him and his will-will-Worship but Christ Jesus came to raise up a people that should worship God in spirit and in truth and his Spirit is the Spirit of a sound mind not a Spirit of blindness and ignorance The devoutest men upon Earth have always been a knowing understanding people witness Noah Daniel and Job Samuel David and the rest of the Worthies renowned in Scripture yea and the Son of God himself who was filled with wisdom and truth who sometime spent the night in prayer to God and he that is born again is in his measure renewed in knowledge after his image Col. 3.9 10. Lye not one to another seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him Mind this that the new man is renewed in knowledge he is not kept in darkness and ignorance to make him devout to God When Paul came to Athens and beheld their blind devotion in their ignorance to rectifie this their devotion he endeavours to bring them to true knowledge not to keep them still in ignorance for that was his work as also the work of the rest of the Apostles and Ministers of Christ to turn men from darkness to the light and so from the power of Satan whose Kingdom is in darkness unto God who is light that so they might receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus Act. 26.18 Now he that stops up the light from men must needs be a Thief and a Robber which comes to steal 1. To steal away the hearts of men from Christ to himself and from devotion
to God to devotion to himself to serve his own turn And 2. he thereby robs people of their deliverance from the power of Satan who rules in darkness as God rules in light And so 3. and consequently he robs people of receiving forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus for that 's the end of turning men from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God namely that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among God's sanctified ones But this will not stand with the Interest of him who seeks the glory and greatness of this World and an uncontroulable Kingdom over all without questioning what he doth and therefore Ignorance must be the nourisher of blind obedience to him which he blasphemously calls devotion to God And in this work now though he seek to be as high as Lucifer yet hath he made himself a slave to the Rulers of the darkness of this World whose principal drudge he is in labouring to keep men in darkness where Satan's power is We find in Scripture that darkness is the perishing state out of which God calls his people Eph. 5.8 Ye were sometime darkness but now are ye light in the Lord walk as children of the light 1 Pet. 2.9 Ye are a chosen generation that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light Col. 1.12 13. Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light who hath delivered us from the power of darkness And therefore to abide in darkness and to abide in a perishing state is all one in Scripture-language as also to be rejected of the Lord is expressed by being cast out into outer darkness 1 Joh. 2.9 10 11. He that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth because that darkness hath blinded his eyes And Darkness is the place where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth Mat. 8.12 and 22.13 Now then it is easie for any to judge whose Minister he is that hides light from men to keep them in the darkness and whose work he doth He is none of Christ's Minister nor doth his work to promote his Kingdom which is a Kingdom of light but he doth the work of the Rulers of the darkness of this World and his own work to keep men in slavery to him who seeks the glory of this World And this now is one of the stratagems of the mystery of iniquity and one principal prop of Antichrist's Kingdom and a chief guard about the Pope to let him sleep at quiet Thus the Sword or carnal Weapons of Cruelty and Ignorance and such like means are the props and guards of this Kingdom which the Papists are Subjects to and not the pure and uncorrupted Truth recorded in Scripture And therefore that some of them may deliver themselves from that mystery of iniquity if the Lord please to open their eyes is the end of my writing these things And though some expressions in this Treatise may perhaps seem too harsh to some of them yet having to deal with such bad Principles in persons who pretend to be invested with authority and power derived from Christ in the work of his Ministry and in his service I could not use easier language than I have done And as I have here manifested the destructive Principles of the Papists to be most erroneous and wicked I say the same against the destructive zeal of any professors of Christianity upon what Principles soever they go and under what Name soever they stand and likewise affirm That no destructive zeal is renewed after the image of him that hath created us and made us new creatures for as God sent not his Son into the world to destroy so he came not a destroyer but a Saviour to save mens lives Therefore would he not suffer James and John to destroy nor Peter when he drew his Sword and cut off Malchus his Ear but bid him put it up and then heal'd the Ear again which he had cut off and hath left it upon record that his Servants shall not go about that Work to root out the tares out of the field that is the World that 's a Work reserved for the Angels at the end of the World I shall now for conclusion leave a few Queries for the Papists to satisfie their own Consciences in rather than to expect an Answer to them and I desire them to be impartial while they consider them 1. Whether the Lord hath taken up an outward Succession again since he laid aside Abraham's natural Succession 2. Whether any be a true Successor of Peter or of the rest of the Apostles who doth not walk in the same Spirit and Doctrine 3. Whether Christ hath substituted a Patron of Lying Perjury Plots Conspiracies Cruelty and Murders to be his Vicar to represent him upon Earth and to be the Head of his Church and an example to the Flock And whether it be not great blasphemy to affirm it 4. Whether he be a friend or an enemy to Christ who opposes the main ends of his Coming As namely in these particulars 1. In point of Enlightning 2. In point of Innocency 3. In point of Worship First Because Christ came to enlighten the World and to bring them out of darkness but the Popes stop the light and keep men in darkness Secondly Christ came to raise up a harmless inoffensive quiet innocent people and of them a Kingdom of Peace where nothing should hurt nor destroy but the Popes bring forth a people quite contrary harmful offensive unquiet disturbers of the Civil Peace by Plots Conspiracies Murders c. Thirdly Christ came to bring forth a people that should worship God in spirit and in truth such as the Father seeks to worship him but the Pope requires such Worshippers as will stoop to his Superstitions and idolatrous Worships after the Formality that he prescribes or else they must expect an Inquisition or some other usage as bad Now consider whether he that thus opposes the Ends of Christ's Coming be not an Enemy 5. Whether he that knoweth sin aforehand and yet entices or encourages his Children into it by promising them pardon and indempnity if they do it doth not very aptly follow the steps of that old Serpent that deceived Eve who told her Ye shall not die though ye eat 6. Whether those Roman Casuists do err that say It 's no sin to swear a falshood if they have a Reserve in their mind to salve it with Or it 's the Pope that errs in promising Pardons for such Oaths so making them sins For Pardons are Relatives to Sins 7. Whether Equivocations and mental Reserves will stand as a good plea for Lying and Perjury at that day when the righteous Judge of all the World shall judge every man according to
THE PRINCIPLES OF THE PAPISTS By which their Leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous Practices plainly demonstrated by the Scriptures to be most erroneous and wicked And a few better Principles briefly laid down for them or others to meditate on tending to a peaceable Life among Men c. And also a few Quaeries left them last of all to satisfie their Consciences in Partly for the sakes of those among them whose Consciences have some tenderness in them and are not quite seared Partly also for those who through ignorance are too much inclining to them Also there may be some service of these things to others By a Lover of Truth Mercifulness Plain-heartedness Humility and Fidelity W. T. Every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved But he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God Jo. 3.20 21. LONDON Printed for and Sold by Benjamin Clark in George-yard in Lombard-street Stationer 1679. A PREMONITION TO THE READER Reader I Have fully exprest my sense who they are that by me are comprehended in this Treatise where I speak to the fourth Principle following But lest that should not be sufficiently minded I have here prefixed the same in effect namely That by Papists Church of Rome or Roman Catholicks or the Pope's Train or Pope's Children and such like expressions I do not understand the whole Body of the Papists or every individual among them but the Leading Ruling part who over-top and over-rule all in carrying on mischievous Plots and Designs and those who walk after or give their assistance and consent to such Leaders and own those Principles hereafter exprest If there be any among them that consent not thereunto they are not comprehended in this Treatise And such I hope God hath among them for I do believe that God hath a People even in Babylon the Great otherwise I shall not understand what that means where he saith Come out of her my people lest ye partake of her sins and that ye partake not of her plagues Nor do I write these things following in bitterness and envy against those evil workers that are acted on to such wickedness but though I may use sharpness sometimes yet it is to open their eyes to see what they do that they may repent of such their evils and incline their hearts to better things And therefore writing nothing against them in emnity or scurrilous lightness but in sincerity and a weighty sense of truth my Conscience gives me the boldness in the Lord to own what I have written with my Name leaving the event to the Lord. William Tomlinson The Principles of the Papists by which their Leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous Practices 1. THAT the Pope is substituted by Christ as the Head of his Church upon Earth and his Vicar and Peter's Successor and so hath power to rule the Church and all ought to be subject to him 2. That he is in his place infallible 3. That he hath power to forgive People their sins 4. That the Church of Rome whereof he is Head is the only true Church namely the Roman Catholicks so call'd and all others that depart from them are Hereticks 5. That out of the Church that is out of their Church is no Salvation 6. That Faith is not to be kept with Hereticks 7. That it is no sin to kill Hereticks or at least wise it shall not be imputed to them as a sin but rather is a meritorious work to destroy them so it be for the advantage of their Church That they are led by these Principles their Actions make so manifest to all men that we need not produce their Authors or Writers for them Now I confess if I were a Papist and made fully to believe these things I know not what I should stick at and not venture upon to obtain an everlasting Inheritance and Glory thereby in Heaven for ever Therefore I cannot but pity them who are bred up in these Principles and so misled by them and especially because To these their Principles two great Bulwarks are added to guard and defend them and so to bind their People to themselves thereby lest they should depart from them One is Their bloody and cruel Practices which indeed spring naturally from such bloody Principles The other is The taking away the Key of Knowledge from People and keeping them in ignorance For Thieves and Robbers and Lyars and Murderers hate nothing more than the light because that discovers them and their wicked deeds With what brevity I can I shall discover the erroneousness rottenness and falshood of these their Principles together with the wickedness and danger of them and of their Practices according to them 1. As to the first That the Pope is substituted as the Head of the Church of Christ upon Earth and his Vicar and Peter's Successor and so hath power to rule the Church and all ought to be subject to him To this I say first If it be overthrown all the rest will tumble down with it for it is the Basis or Foundation of all the rest upon which they stand and also the Top stone that binds all their Building together And as Goliah of Gath headed the Army of the Philistins as their great Champion whom little David brought down groveling to the ground with a smooth stone slung at his Forehead and so the whole Army was scattered So is the Pope the great Champion heading this People of Blood his Romanists and if he be brought down the rest must of necessity be scattered as having no standard to repair to I speak not of a particular Pope as this man but of that power he arrogates to himself and others attribute to him and of him whoever he be that stands invested therewith I shall content my self with a few Arguments against him And the first is taken from his pretended Rock even from Peter whom they so much boast of and it is this Argument 1. If the Pope be found in the state and condition of Simon Magus for which he was rejected by Peter from having any part or lot in that matter of dispensing the spiritual Gifts of God then is he not the Head of Christ's Church upon Earth nor his Vicar nor Peter's lawful Successor nor hath he any part or lot in dispensing the spiritual Gifts of God And this I presume no body will deny that hath any common sense or reason in them because they may as well affirm that Simon Magus was once the Head thereof as one that is in his case and condition But that the Pope is such a one I prove thus Because the same carnal mind is fully in the Pope which was in Simon Magus for which he was rejected by Peter from having any part or lot in this matter of dispensing the spiritual Gifts of God For the manifest proof of this let us
them when ye see the multitude before them and behind them worshipping them Thus it is also in the streets of the great City mystical Babylon Rome and among her Children when they go about the streets with their Host besides all the rest of their Idolatry committed in their places of Worship and in secret 3. As Babylon of old was exalted above all and call'd Lady of Kingdoms Isa 47.5 and the glory of Kingdoms Isa 13.19 So Rome exalts her self in like manner and calls her self Mother Church and Caput omnium Ecclesiarum i.e. the Head of all the Churches and sits as Queen over all in her own exalted mind But then 4 thly and lastly Rome is most fitly call'd Babylon because she holds the seed of God in bondage and captivity Whom she leads captive once she will hardly let them escape without danger of their lives or cruel torments in her Inquisitions they must become perfect slaves to her Superstitions Will-worships and Idolatries And what bondage is like to this that people to whom God hath given reason and understanding shall not make use of it but lay it aside and submit wholly to the understandings or rather wills of others though it be against their own and so be urged to submit to that which is against the light in their own Consciences And this is the greatest bondage and captivity of all and therefore well may Rome be called Babylon the great She is also called Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth She brings forth Harlots that is such Children as go a whoring with her after her Inventions Those that in tenderness of Conscience and in subjection to the words of Christ who said In vain do you worship me after the traditions of men will not joyn with them in their invented traditions and superstitions such she owns not for her Children she will be no Mother or Nurse to such but seeks to murder them in cold blood as none of hers she will be only Mother of Harlots that can prostitute themselves with her to her Idolatries and Inventions and if they can do that it shall not break the band between them although they be common Harlots in the vulgar sence but she will remain their Mother She is also Mother of abominations in the earth Not only Mother of abominations in Worship and superstitious Inventions but also Mother of abominations in the earth abominations as to the civil life of men without the consideration of worship abominations to men as they are men living upon the earth To manifest this I shall quote one Scripture and then her own actions will testifie the truth of it against her It is Prov. 6.16 17 18 19. These six things doth the Lord hate yea seven are abomination to him A proud look a lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations feet that be swift in running to mischief a false witness that speaketh lyes and him that soweth discord among brethren Now see and judge if Rome be not Mother of these abominations Who more lofty in spirit than the Pope and his Romanists Can any compare with him who exalts himself over all makes his Cardinals as Princes his Bishops and whole Clergy as great men and makes his whole Train dispise others as Hereticks not worthy to live in the earth Here 's a proud look indeed And for a lying tongue Rome's Children are so pregnant with that that one cannot tell how to believe either what they say or what they swear How miserably were the Protestants in Ireland cheated by them by fair promises and deep oaths that they would secure their Goods for them in the time of that bloody Massacre and yet when they had got them into their hands refused to restore them yea and afterwards murthered them And so 3dly They have hands that shed innocent blood none like them for that 4thly An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations Whose hearts are so full of wicked imaginations Plots Conspiracies and devices of Cruelty as Rome's Children 5thly Whose feet are swifter in running to mischief than the Papists who in one brunt can cut off so many thousands by Massacres before they make an end Their feet are speedy to do mischief when they get but the opportunity 6thly Another abomination is a false witness that speaketh Lyes If we go no further than this year how have they endeavoured to choak all true reports among us with their lyes and falshoods Witness the false reports and lying stories that they gave forth about the death of Worthy Godfrey till the truth appeared by Evidence and could no longer be hid 7thly and lastly He that saweth discord among brethren is also one of the abominations in the earth This is one of Rome's Principles Divide impera Divide and then command Divide what 's that but sowing of discord destroying of concord setting one against another that she may fish in troubled waters Whether she made the former division and discord between the late foregoing King and the People or no I will not say but if they did it 's but according to their Principle Thus you see Rome is a fruitful Mother of abominations of the earth And now you may also at leisure view all these things over again and see how pertinent all these Characters of the great Whore are to Rome they fit her as a garment that sits close and compleat upon a man's back And why then we should be afraid to look upon her as that great Whore here described by the Angel to John I know no reason especially if we add that which follows in the 6th Ver. of this 17th Chap. viz. And I saw the Woman that is the great City seated on seven Hills drunken with the blood of Saints and with the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus And when I saw her I wondred with great admiration But having spoken of this afore and shewed that it must be Rome professing Christianity and not heathen Rome that caused this great admiration I forbear to speak more of it now I say till Rome shew the contrary to these Characters by a better lise and conversation they will rest upon her And it 's not by her poysoning and stabbing fire and faggot Inquisitions and Massacres that she can clear her self No that way confirms and fixes these marks more fully upon her the more she seeks to wipe off the stains of blood that are upon her by such means the more and greater they still appear And now for the deciding of the Question in hand which all that I have said tends to Let any that have any reason of their own to make use of and any honesty and faithfulness in their hearts towards God and Christ Jesus our Lord judge and determine the Question Whether this Church of Rome so guilty of these things be the only true Church of Christ now and all others that draw from her be Hereticks I hope whosoever considers these things
his deeds And when a greater plea shall have no acceptance as namely Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name have done many wonderful works But Christ shall say unto them Depart from me ye workers of iniquity Mat. 7.22 23. 8. Whether ever the true Christian Church or any members of it standing faithful dissembled their profession by denying or swearing against their Principles in open words to save themselves thereby from men 9. Whether that be not a denying of Christ before men to deny that Truth which he hath left us to profess and hold forth in the World And whether he will not deny such and be ashamed of them before his Father You that think you are in the truth and yet deny it apply this to your selves 10. Whether they who dare not avouch their Religion and Principles before men in truth and sincerity when called to it have any Religion in them worth the owning 11. Whether a mercyless people or a more merciful people be nearer to the true Church of Christ 12. Whether a people degenerated from the true upright humble inoffensive peaceable quiet sincere holy life of Christianity and faln to Lying Treachery Plots Murders Massacres and such like evils be the only true Church of Christ And whether all others are Hereticks who shall depart from their Communion Let your Consciences speak as it will do before the Tribunal of the Lord. 13. Whether a people that make the Times perillous through their Plots Assassinations Murders Treacheries and such like evil courses although they should retain a form of godliness in outward shew be not such as are to be turned away from according as the Apostle admonishes 2 Tim. 3.1 2 3 4 5. 14. Whether a people full of violence as the old World was and as Sodom of old was a people full of Slanders and Lyes to hide their works of darkness as if they were afraid that the World should see their treacherous intents before they put them in execution Whether such a people be not well-nigh ripe for destruction These Queries I leave with you to satisfie your Consciences in if there be any fear of God remaining in them and let me entreat you not to deal deceitfully with your own Consciences which will be witness against you at the great Day when the Pope's Indulgences and Pardons will do you no good As for Answer to me in these things I cannot rationally expect any from the Scriptures of Truth for they are not contrary to themselves I know the Pope and his Romanists have one Catholick or universal Answer for all Objections Arguments Doubts Oppositions Questions c. whereby to prevent discoveries of their weakness or rather wickedness And that any one may expect that writes or speaks against their mystery of wickedness and it 's the same wherewith they have silenc'd Godfrey For they are sensible that their Cause will not abide the light and therefore they flee from that to this work of darkness to murder which they back with Lyes and Slanders And therefore let this be a Testimony to all that have any understanding That they are Children of darkness and not Children of the light for it is the testimony of our Lord himself That he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God But every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved or made manifest Joh. 3. POST-SCRIPT FOr the sake of some honest-minded People ' who perhaps may think that I too much limit the Mystery of iniquity or the Great Whore or Babylon the great in seeming to fix them to any particular People to such I give this Account in short That the Mystery of iniquity and Great Whore which carries that Mystery written on her forehead and Babylon the great and such like Titles are not given in Scripture to the universal or general Kingdom of Satan but to a limited Mystery both as to time and place For 1. That Mystery of iniquity had not its rise or beginning till after the appearance of Christ in the flesh it began but to work in the Apostles days but was not then revealed openly 2. It was to follow or accompany a falling away from Christ in life and power though not in profession 3. It was letted for a time by an Enemy namely when Satan in his open hostility raged against Christianity in the persecuting Emperors and so by them letted or kept down the rising of the Mystery of iniquity until that Enemy was taken out of the way 4. It is also limited or bounded as to time of discovery and consumption and after that of rooting out for the Kings of the Earth who have given their power to the Beast and so to the Whore and so also to the Mystery for they are all linked together in a Chain they shall survive or out-live it for they shall hate the Whore and eat her flesh and burn her with fire and make her desolate Rev. 17.16 5. Lastly It is limited as to place thus far That the chief Seat of it where it is to be found is particularly described by the Angel though its influence may extend far And therefore it is not that general Dominion or Kingdom of Satan which he hath had in wicked men from the beginning and in all wicked men and shall have every where among them until the end But it is a certain circumscribed Mystery limited both as to time and place of its chief Seat though extended far for place and long for time FINIS Books Printed for a general Service BArclay's Apology for the true Christian Divinity as it is held forth and preached by the People called Quakers being a full Vindication of their Principles by Arguments deduced from Scripture and right Reason and the Testimony of famous Authors both Ancient and Modern Robert Barclay's Apology for the true Christian Divinity vindicated from John Brown's Examination and pretended Confutation thereof R.
