the High Priest remooued the Altar of the Lord. Whereby it appeareth that the Priesthood was corrupted the Altar remooued and consequently the sacrifice ceased Now I trust there is no Papist so impudent to say that either the true Church was in the Scribes and Pharisies or in the time of Achas Manasses and many other Kings of Israell so visible and populous as they would haue it but that the Church of Christ were in that small number wheresoeuer dispersed Secondly the Church of Rome holdes that ignorance is the mother of deuotion but Christ saith ignorance is the mother of error saying You erre not knowing the Scriptures and Christ biddeth the Matth. 22. 29. Ioh. 5. 39. Coloss 3. 16. Acts. ●7 people to search the Scripture Paul commaunded that the word of God should dwell plentiously in the people whereby they might teach themselues and the Berenas examined the Scriptures Thirdly the Church of Rome teacheth that the Scriptures ought to be taught in a strange tongue Saint Paul saith He that 1. Cor. 14. speaketh in a strange tongue speaketh not vnto men but vnto God for no man heareth him howbeit in the spirit he speaketh secret things He that speaketh in a strange language edifieth himselfe I would that you all spake strange languages but rather that you prophecied For greater is he that prophecieth then he that speaketh diuers tongues except he expound it that the Church may receiue edification And now brethren if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues what shall it profit you c. Moreouer things without life which giue a sound whether it be a Harpe or a Pipe except they make a distinction in the sound how shall it be knowne what is piped or harped So likewise yee by the tongue except you vtter words which haue signification how shall it be vnderstood what is spoken for you shall speake in the ayre Fourthly the Church of Rome doth teach there is a Purgatorie Christ in the Gospell sheweth onely two places namely heauen and hell Christ said to the theefe This day shalt thou be with me in Luk. 16. Luke 23. 43. Paradise Christ saith Verily verily I say vnto you he that heareth my words and beleeueth him that sent me hath eternall life Ioh. 5. 25. Phil. 1. 2. 3. and commeth not into condemnation but passeth from death to life Saint Paul saith I couet to be dissolued and to be with Christ Againe For we know that when this earthly tabernacle of ours is dissolued we haue a building of God not made with hands but 2. Cor. 5. 1. Reuel 14. 13. eternall in the heauens Againe Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hencefoorth they rest from their labours and their workes follow them And Saint Peter telleth the Saints and children 1. Pet. 1. 9. of God and assureth them of it That the end of their faith is the saluation of their soules Fiftly the Church of Rome teacheth that since the fall of Adam man hath free-will Whereas God saith After that time that the Gen. 6. imaginations of mens harts are onely euill euery day Christ saith Iere. 7. No man can come vnto me except the father draw him Againe Rom. 3. 10. Conuert thou me and I shall be conuerted Also There is not one Heb. 11. 6. that doth good no not one Againe Without faith it is vnpossible Rom. 14. 23. to please God And againe Whatsoeuer is not of faith is sinne Ioh. 15. 1 2. Also Except men be ingrafted into him they can bring foorth no fruits besides many places to like effect Sixtly the Church of Rome deliuereth the Sacrament but in one kinde namely bread Christ saith Drinke yee all of this cup. Paul Matth. 26. 27. 1. Cor. 11. 23. 28. 1. Corinthians 11. 23. 28. saith Let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of this bread and drinke of this cup. Seuenthly the Church of Rome holdeth transubstantiation in the Sacrament and this they would seeme to ground vpon these words This is my body which they will haue to be expounded literally but why then doe they not expound the other words of Christ literally also concerning the cup For the text saith in the 27. and 28. verses that He tooke the cup and said This is my bloud I am sure they will not say that the cup was the bloud of Christ as the words be but they will graunt a figure in those words namely that by the cup is meant the wine in it if then they will admit a figure in this why may there not be a figure in the other namely This is my body should be vnderstood thus This bread is a figure of my body which was broken for you Circumcision was called the Lords couenant when indeed it was not the couenant So likewise the Paschall Lambe is called the Passeouer when indeed it was but a signe of the Passeouer Christ saith Doe this in remembrance of me And Saint Paul saith plainely and expresly 1. Cor. 11. 26. 28. that the communicants doe eate bread and therefore it remaineth bread after the words of consecration For if it were transubstantiated into the body of Christ then were there no bread to eate but the body of Christ is the thing that should be eaten but none doth eate the very body of Christ. For if euery communicant did eate the very body of Christ naturally carnally and really as they grosly suppose Christ should haue a number of bodies which is palpably absurd and monstrous to thinke Besides if Christ gaue his body to be eaten really by his Disciples at the time of the institution of this Sacrament what was it that did hang vpon the crosse on the morrow Moreouer S. Peter saith Acts 3. 21 that as touching the body of Christ The heauens must containe him to the end of the world Eightly the Church of Rome holdeth the Pope hath authority to depose Kings and Princes God deposeth the mightie from their seates and exalteth them of low degree It is God that testifieth of Luke 1. Dan. 2. 20. 4. 14. 21. 2. Cor. 10. 4. Rom. 13. 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Pet. 2. 13. Tit. 3. 1. himselfe By me Kings raigne and Princes haue dominion Paul confesseth plainely that the weapons of their warfare are not carnall but mightie through God that is spirituall And it is manifest by the practise of the Apostles and all their precepts commaunding all Christians to obey their rulers their Kings Princes yea though they were persecutors the Apostles neuer had any such authority commited to them Christ himselfe saith his kingdome was not of Ioh. 18. 36. Ioh. 6. 15. Math. 22. 21. this world and Christ himselfe refused to be made a King Christ himselfe also paid tribute vnto Caesar and commaunded others to giue the same and all other dueties of subiection and obedience to Caesar And Christ hath expresly forbidden his Apostles in them all
