A13025	A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion.

look_v not_o so_o much_o to_o the_o inward_a man_n but_o regard_v the_o work_n wrought_v howsoever_o it_o be_v do_v and_o that_o he_o in_o justice_n can_v deny_v a_o good_a reward_n to_o such_o

the_o lord_n his_o day_n or_o at_o least_o to_o observe_v any_o holiday_n appoint_v only_o by_o man_n more_o exact_o to_o be_v proud_a to_o resist_v magistrate_n etc._n etc._n what_o natural_a man_n i_o say_v be_v not_o willing_a enough_o to_o these_o and_o the_o like_a 3_o yea_o but_o it_o be_v object_v that_o our_o religion_n teach_v faith_n only_o to_o justify_v without_o work_n and_o that_o therefore_o our_o religion_n be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o ease_n and_o liberty_n and_o so_o consequent_o more_o please_a the_o natural_a man_n then_o popery_n which_o require_v many_o number_n of_o

etc._n i_o answer_v first_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o teach_v indeed_o that_o faith_n only_o justifi_v even_o without_o any_o work_n whatsoever_o yet_o be_v this_o faith_n more_o hard_a to_o the_o natural_a man_n then_o all_o before_o mention_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o require_v by_o popery_n for_o this_o say_v that_o we_o teach_v must_v have_v knowledge_n of_o god_n &_o of_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v as_o also_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o as_o they_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o word_n and_o likewise_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n particular_o teach_v it_o must_v also_o apply_v these_o thing_n particular_o to_o every_o man_n his_o particular_a self_n second_o though_o we_o say_v that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o necessary_a as_o cause_n of_o

&_o fruit_n of_o justification_n and_o such_o as_o without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o salvation_n for_o we_o say_v that_o he_o that_o have_v not_o eternal_a life_n begin_v in_o he_o hear_v that_o

to_o be_v a_o rafter_n or_o a_o little_a to_o turn_v the_o spit_n and_o then_o after_o a_o few_o year_n he_o shall_v be_v remoove_v from_o thence_o and_o prefer_v even_o to_o god_n his_o own_o

day_n of_o his_o life_n he_o may_v live_v in_o all_o licentious_a manner_n 5_o but_o as_o for_o our_o religion_n it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o therewith_o for_o by_o abase_v the_o whole_a man_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o teach_v those_o thing_n which_o before_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o and_o shall_v not_o need_v now_o to_o be_v repeat_v it_o be_v altogether_o unpleasant_a and_o unsavoury_a to_o the_o natural_a man_n even_o as_o smoke_v unto_o the_o eye_n and_o vinegar_n to_o the_o tooth_n yet_o to_o god_n yea_o therefore_o to_o god_n it_o be_v sweet_a &_o pleasant_a certain_o in_o this_o respect_n there_o be_v such_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o religion_n and_o popery_n that_o if_o both_o be_v offer_v unto_o the_o natural_a man_n he_o will_v make_v much_o soon_o choice_n of_o popery_n then_o of_o we_o and_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o of_o long_o tim_o e_fw-la and_o of_o most_o part_n in_o the_o world_n popery_n have_v be_v so_o general_o receive_v &_o why_o there_o have_v be_v more_o papist_n then_o protestant_n namely_o because_o our_o religion_n be_v altogether_o repugnant_a to_o nature_n and_o popery_n altogether_o agreeable_a thereunto_o further_o let_v every_o man_n examine_v his_o own_o heart_n how_o it_o stand_v natural_o affect_v and_o he_o shall_v find_v himself_o rather_o incline_v to_o popery_n wherein_o he_o may_v for_o a_o money_n matter_n have_v both_o pardon_n of_o any_o sin_n already_o commit_v and_o also_o a_o dispensation_n to_o commit_v what_o he_o will_v though_o it_o be_v incest_n with_o his_o own_o sister_n then_o to_o our_o religion_n which_o condemn_v all_o such_o pardon_n and_o dispensation_n sith_o therefore_o this_o be_v now_o so_o evident_a that_o popery_n be_v so_o suitable_a to_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o that_o our_o religion_n be_v altogether_o so_o harsh_a thereunto_o why_o may_v i_o not_o again_o conclude_v as_o before_o i_o have_v do_v both_o against_o popery_n and_o also_o in_o behalf_n of_o our_o religion_n the_o ten_o argument_n the_o first_o part_n touch_v the_o great_a decay_n of_o god_n gift_n in_o these_o time_n of_o popery_n my_o last_o argument_n touch_v the_o main_a conclusion_n both_o against_o popery_n and_o also_o for_o our_o religion_n shall_v be_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o this_o matter_n by_o the_o testimony_n of_o
