concerning the soul of Christ his descent into hell the power of binding and loosing the sacraments of the Church and by name that of the Altar of originall sinne of concupiscence of sinnes of delight infirmitie and ignorance of sinne in work and sinne in will But he telleth us not what they were Now whether Bernard charge him truly herein or no which for divers causes may be justly questioned and the rather for that Abeilard in his Apologie flatly denieth that he ever wrote taught or once thought the most of those points that Bernard fasteneth upon him and for that Bernard's reports concerning others of those times some whereof were his scholars are not unjustly suspected it is not much materiall to our purpose the rather for that the charge granted to be true the more pestilent and blasphemous his errours are found to be the greater inequalitie will appear in the collation unlesse the parties collated can be proved to have maintained opinions as pestilent and as blasphemous as his But for Servetus and Socinus the other two what they held we have records of sufficient credit For Servetus from whom M r Walker borroweth onely one small snip wherewith to piece up his Parallel whether his works be extant or no I wot not and the better it is if they be not But what he taught and maintained we have taken out of his writings from M r Calvine's relation together with an ample refutation of them adjoyned thereunto His chief assertions among a vast heap of other absurd prodigious and blasphemous ones are these That there is no such Trinitie of persons in the Deitie as is commonly maintained where he brandeth the orthodox tenet and the abettours of it with most hideous terms raked up from Hel it self and too vile to be related and fasteneth many uncouth and fantasticall conceits full of impietie and blasphemie upon the names given in Scripture to the second and third Persons That God in the beginning of the world produced the Word and the Spirit and began then as a person to appear in three uncreated elements and communicated of his essence unto all that he then made That This Word being the face and image of God is said then to have been begotten because God then began to breed it but stayed for a woman to bear it untill the Virgin Mary was that then Christ was conceived in her womb of the seed of the Word and the substance of the Spirit so that the Word was then first turned into flesh and then that flesh by the Spirit wholly turned into the essence of the Deitie and that Christ hath now a spirituall body that filleth heaven and earth That The Spirit is a kind of gentle breath which at first proceeded from the Word consisting partly of the essence of God and partly of a created power which having moved in the Creation on the face of the waters and there finding no rest retired again to heaven and there stayed till at the Baptisme of Christ it came down again That Man is said to be made after Gods image because the very essence of God is in every man from his originall and that not in the soul onely but in the body and that though the devil have by a kind of carnall copulation got into and possessed himself of the body yet that the divine essence remaineth still in the soul which notwithstanding it is by sinne become mortall and is breathed out into the aire yet in the regenerate by means of the Spirit it becometh consubstantiall and coeternall with God That Christ should have come to carie men to heaven albeit Adam had never fallen and that the Tree of knowledge of good and evil was a figure of Christ whom Adam over-hastily desiring to tast of threw himself and his posteritie into perdition That None are guilty of mortall sinne till they be twenty yeare old because they have no knowledge of good or evil till then nor are therefore till then to be catechised nor any to be baptized till they be thirty years old because of that age the first Adam was created and at that age the second Adam was baptized That Before Christs coming the Angels onely not God were worshipped nor were any regenerate by the Spirit nor did their faith regard any more then terrestriall good things save that some few by apropheticall spirit might aloof off have some smatch of spirituall things That From the beginning as well Gentiles as Jews that lived well according to natures guidance were thereby justified and without faith of Christ shall thereby at the last day attain to life eternall That The Law was given onely for a time and that men were then saved by the observation of it which was then observed when men did what they could who might therefore glorie then in their works being justified wholly by them but that men are not now to be scared with it That Faith is nothing else but to believe Christ to be the Sonne of God and to justifie nothing but to make a man righteous who was sinfull before and that we are now justified partly by faith and partly by works That On Gods part there is no promise required unto justification nor doth faith depend upon any promise of God or hath any respect thereunto in regard whereof he scoffeth at those that build their faith upon Gods promises or that mention them in their prayers That There is a perfect puritie in every holy action and such as may endure even the extreme rigour of Gods justice That Abraham was indeed justified by works howbeit that his believing is first said to be imputed to him for righteousnesse and he said to be just for one act of faith the place by M r Walker produced as if a prince out of his favour regarding his souldiers mind and good will would be pleased to accept the good endeavour for the thing fully performed and so Abraham was therefore by God deemed just because by his believing it appeared that he stood well affected to acquire a commendation of righteousnesse by his good works Which is all saith Calvine that he ascribeth unto faith either in us or in him Whose faith also he saith as of others before Christ was no true faith but a figure of true faith and the righteousnesse imputed to him no spirituall but a carnall righteousnesse and insufficient not a truth but a shadow and the imputation of it but a type of the great grace of Christ to us And thus much if not too much of Servetus his blasphemous and prodigious dreams and dotages for I have raked overlong in this filthy sinck in this stincking puddle which till upon this occasion I never pried or peered into before nor it may be should ever have done but for it Socinus remaineth whose positions what they were may appear by his
