that not the second Table all this time you respect we pray for your health and doe protest against your madnesse Now I have found you out Qualem primo qui s●rgere mense Aut videt aut vidisse putat per nubila iunam And know how to take a direct aime the reformation you ayme at is shorter laced then either consistories or parishes there is a necessity of setting up other Congregations besides these here your intent is to have all reduced to families old 〈◊〉 must be your Doctor and pastor his wife Tib your diaconesse his Sonne Die your ruling Elder and the serving man Will your Deacon a pretty Church indeed and where none are to be admitted but such as are approved by the whole assembly he And his houshold the supreame and only congregation upon earth not any beyond it in purity above it in jurisdiction no more contest now for consistories or Parochial Churches you for the avoyding of profanenesse have assigned us a lesser circle ipse ratem conto subigit all will be well and you be at the Stearn Is this your modell your patterne of reformation It is so ridiculous children will point at you and it in the streets if not for Christianity yet for shame ●ake abstaine from such motions for the which the enemies dreaming you and the Church of England to be concentrike nam● us no more Heretickes but mad men nor are you lesse dangerous then they the innocent Sheepe are no lesse terrified by the barking of the dogs within then by the handling of the Wolves without my very soule bleedeth to thinke what discouragements you give us at home what ignominy and scandall and disgrace you are to us abroad But you proceed and tell us If there must bee a nationall Church let not this exclude and barre out the free use of congregations Here you play the Libertine give you freedome and you care not what religion is at the next doors this is the Golden branch let you once see this though your mouths were as maine and wide as these of Cerberuss tumida ex ira tune corda recedunt This is indeed the confusion your parity aymes at that every man may do what seemeth him good in his own eyes now let any Christian judge whether it is your love to purity that perswaded your Separation from the Church now your reformation of the Church or your desire of license when if that be granted to you you are willing to be dayly spectatours of the Antichristianisme and their patron such is all to you beside your sanctified Conventicle of a nationall Church Order as they call it and how doe you You have no use no name for order at all all be●de your humour though prescribed by the state must be order as they call it this is your respect to Parliaments you are the onely mouths I know of all power and Iurisdiction Nor must the consciences of Gods people in things indifferent for order and unities sake be regulated by wholesome Lawes when every mans conscience must be tyed to yours in the very principles of religion how farre they decline from this so farre from purity from salvation without this no admission to your society to your communion nor as you will have it to the Kingdome of Heaven It is said of Aristotle he disputed against monarchie least any beside his master should affect that just so you against government when you are the hardest Tax-masters the most curious searchers of opinions in the world nothing can passe your censures and that is either to be saved or damned which is not borrowed from your selves You wil have us to believ that though you are in yet you are not of the world you good men are separated from the world in the corruptions thereof whether is this that you cannot sin or that you do not sin whether boast you here of your opinion or your practise If the first take it with you and that of the Apostles when you say you have not sinne you are lyers and the truth is not in you but if the last I will tell you you are now too grosse not to bee discerned all your figge-tree leaves of Purity and reformation will not cover your nakednesse violence rebellion deceit cruelty dissimulation wrath incharity in a word all the titles that attend you in the first page are your individuall Lackeys and doe your best will acknowledg no other Master I have knowne men of honest civill dispositions ere they joyned to your sect but then as if Sathan had entered with the Sop immediately became proud testie hollow-hearted and whose charity dar'd nor so much as extend it selfe to the respects of nature or acquaintance these in the Children of disobedience might be accompted sinnes what they are in you I know not it may be as by the accesse of trueth and light your natures are essentialy changed so the qualities and viciousnesse of your actions But I have mistaken you all this time it is a Separation from the world in Doctrin not in practise you intend you are as farre from this as you are from Rome Meane time you beare us in hand you are not Separate and woes me for it from the civill state but are peac●able members thereof subject and obedient to all good and just Lawes how long they may happen to fit your i●ching humours go beyond this traine the Laws will be neither good nor just you must have the power to interpret them as you have the Protestation and thereafter obey not them but your fancy concerning them Here you bring in your fulminatrix leg●o as if all we were Pagans about you what your prayers have procured to us let these last thundring dayes witnesse the almost ruines of a poore Church by your Schismes wil testifie it to the succeeding ages The Apostle indeed exhorts us to pray for Kings your hearers know how you obey this exhortation when by your praiers you teach them how to suspect their Princes of Luke-warmenesse and oppression in your wavering petitions to God for their reformation their amendment as Ioab did to Amasa you stab their authority their reputation beneath the fifth Rib. But if it were not proprium convertibile with your Sect to make bold with Scripture I could fit you better with texts and tell you of a Miriam who said hath the Lord spoken onely by Moses and not by us also and of a Core of whom you learned your Dialect you take too much upon you seeing all the congregation of the Lord are holy wherefore lift you your selves above the Congregation of the Lord But you are worse then both these no speech by Moses as by your selves not all the Congregation of the Lord but onely you are holy I will therefore assigne you a third that comes more home to the point To your Tents O Israel what Inheritance have we in the Sonne of Iesse validior est oris quàm operis vox Let the condition
