for these are the well growne fruits of the Apostles doctrine Let all things be done decently and in Order There is church-decencie where is noe lightnesse and there is church-order where is noe confusion and therefore frequenters of woods for churches haue noe church-decencie For a suppose of their owne pates rings them a peale to frequent woods that idolatrous Temples must never be frequented if once idolatrous and yet religion being reformed those temples though once idolatrous are againe to bee frequented to worship God with holy worship So Calvin Peter Martyr Beza Bucer and B. Iewell And to convert idolatrous temples into christian Temples was the practise of the Primitiue church at 179 yeare after Christ in king Luoius daies There is no church-order where is confusion where the same preacher or teacher doth contradict one doctrine with an other contradictions of doctrines are in Thomas Cartwright as Doctor Whitguift hath obserued And there are contradictions in Bellarmine and his fraternity for there are 37 generall parts of doctrine and 239 particular doctrines in which one Romanist contradicts an other as Pareus hath obserued in his Irenicum There is church-decency where the church and every part of the church is kept seemly And there is church order where superiors are in superior places equalls in equal places inferiors in inferior places And there is no Church-decencie where ruine neglect dust and filthinesse are Church-keepers this is almost customarie in these daies A wood a private conventicle a factious sect I feare is more solemnly frequented in many places in this land than the Church of God And there is no Church order where Superiors are made inferiors Kings to cast their Crownes at the feet of Schismatiques schismaticall Pastors yet thus M. Thomas Cartwright would haue it And hee calls the Deane of a Cathedrall Church the Canons the Major and Minor-Prebends the Chauncellour the Chaunter the Pistellers and Gospellers hee vnmannerly calls them all Abbi-lubbers Thus what Church-order hath established hee with a word of disgrace would put downe against all order There should be decency and order obseru'd in performing Gods holy worship which is the common prayers And this is reprou'd by some by others t is embrac'd but t is with a running reverence by others t is cut off in the middle to the dishonour of God and his Church by others t is mumbled vp in an vnknowne tongue as if Papists were vnwilling that all should knowe what they say vnto God yet every one had religion in his owne tongue Act. 2. T is decencie and order that we should stand vp at the rehearsing of the Apostles Creed to signifie that wee doe and will stand to our faith but this standing vp some doe maliciously oppose and this standing vp others doe vnwittingly neglect The Font is the commanded place for baptisme yet some doe baptize in Wells in Brookes in Rivers c. to defend to vphold a factious spirit T is decencie and order to edifie the Church but some care for no edifying To beleeue as the Church beleeues this forme of words is faith enough and the best of that false beleeuing side are afraid of essentiall and demonstratiue exposition of the infallible rules of exposition the scripture being granted to be the only axiomaticall principle of faith The learned rules of exposition of Scriptures which neither S. Austine nor any other father hath expresso praecepto these rules Papists dare not follow Some respect onely the factious edifying well known to the factious brethren by opposing Church-decencie and order But beyond this edifying they neuer intend to proceed like S. Pauls silly women who are ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth And therefore the able gracious practise of the Church is neglected by them A father of the Church must not be heard in his owne language because that spends time and doth not edifie And Church Organs the musicall instruments of the Churches gracious practise are tedious to them because they doe not edifie To ring the Church-bells in peale on the Lords day this the separatists call profaning of the Sabbath And t is their ignorance being vnable to tell the difference betweene the worlds servile workes which are forbidden by the fourth commaundement and betweene Churches musicall works which in their due time done doe praise the Lord. T is Church-decency and Church-order that the scriptures be taught learnedly and grauely but now the children of the Prophets goe for Church-Doctors and a Mechanicke a presuming spirit is receiued amongst the Perfectists for a lawfull preacher if their non-Ecclesiasticall spirit calls him yet the Text faith No man taketh this honour vnto himselfe but hee that is called of God as was Aaron Hebr. 5. 4. But one will obiect what meanes all this discourse but to occasion appearing of evill and to giue offence to the weake brothers conscience Be not deceiued here is no appearing of evill no offence Here is nothing but Church-decency and Church-order which neither appeare evill nor are they any offence for appearance of evill and offence are opposite to these well governing and obeying properties And who are the weake brethren Thomas Cartwrights Disciples In their conceipts there are none so godly none so holy in the Churches of God Thus farre I haue followed an vnseemly a disorderd company This was the cause that you should knowe who are the vndecent and the irregular in our Church that you may avoid them I commend the decencie order of the church vnto you and doe exhort you in the words of S. Paul 1. Cor. 1. 10. Now I beseech you brethren by the name of our Lord Iesus Christ that yee all speake the same thing that there be no division among you but that yee bee ioined perfectly together in the same minde and in the same iudgement And doe you assuredly beleeue that Non-conformists haue not the spirit of God to guid them For they are the troublesome inventers of division For whereas there is envying and strife and divisions among them are they not carnall While one saith I am of Paul another I am of Apollo whilst they will heare none but a division making preacher are they not carnall S. Paul saith that they are carnall 1. Cor. 3. 3. 4. But I haue taught you better things then to be carnall Here is church-decency to cleanse the Lords house and to beautifie it and therefore learne to be decent with church-decency Here is church-order to set all things vniformely in Gods holy Temple and therefore learne church-holy orders that you may be decent and well-ordered Temples of the holy Ghost that in this life you may so liue together in true faith and religious charity that in the world to come you may liue together in immortall glory Which God for his infinite mercy grant vnto all through Christ Iesus To whom with the Father and the holy Ghost three persons and one immortall God be ascribed all glory honour power might saluation and thankesgiving this day and for ever AMEN FINIS

belieue our Church Regeneration is by infusion of grace by sowing the good seed it differs frō increase of grace perseverance Regeneratiō is ortus boniseminis the springing of good seed This good seed did grow in stony and thorny ground Regeneratiō is the individual act making Christians Increase of grace perseverāce preserue Christians And morall perswasion cannot regenerate stony and thorny hearts dead in sinne Therefore regeneration being the individuall act of God bound to his Church by his owne covenant iudge as our Church doth concerning the baptized that all baptized are regenerate The grace of Gods covenā● doth admit of noe Separatists for it did not separate but bind Isaac Ismael vnto God in obedience neither doth it separate but vnite the baptized vnto Christ As for the separating iudgement according to the mercifull decree of election who are the saved this belongs only to God to pronounce But let all Christians religiously pray and liue according to the grace of restitution and humbly submit their iudgments concerning the secrecy of personall election The Separatist sinnes against the 17. Article which sayth that Gods election is secret to vs for we know not the elect by their particular names He sinnes against the 35 article at the 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 10. 11. 15. 19. 20. 21. homilie For these doe charitably exhort the whole cōgregation to obey and honour God whereas the separatist is noe freind of Publicans and sinners but the vncharitable accuser of our Saviours pittied cōpany The Anabaptist is he whose purenes is a supposed birth without originall sinne And yet our bodies are parts of Adams nature that did sinne And no man was borne without sinne Christ only excepted His tenet is that infants must not be baptized Yet Isaac was circumcised the eighth day And to be circumeised and baptized are one and the same in effect And Abrahams Religion and ours are the same Gal. 3. 9. 14. 15. 16. 17. And therefore by a necessarie seale of the Covenant we must doe as Abraham did binde little children in covenant to God This Puritan sinnes against the 9 27 Articles The one affirmeth that infants are borne in originall sin the other that infants must be baptized If infants be borne without originall sinne then t is noe controversy That originall sin foreseene is not the meritorious cause of reprobation The sinner deserues the iudg intends punishment So 't is certaine that sinne is not the foreseene intending efficient of that preordain'd punishing decree And it is without question that Gods Supremacy may pardon or punish pro absoluto beneplacito only as he will seeing 't is the prerogatiue of supremacy he being supreame Iudg. But he cannot be iust in decree if he so reprobates but for sinne foreseene For the law was not that any should die in Adam if he had not eaten of the forbidden fruit and therfore this law in prevision transgressed is the meritorious efficient of reprobation The Brownist is he whose purenes is to serue God in woods and feilds He is a wildernes of purenesse His opinion is that Idolatry cannot be reformed without pulling downe of Churches But King Hezekiah commaunded the Levites to sanctifie the house of the Lord and to carry forth the filthines out of the sanctuary c. 2. Chron. 29. 5. And our Saviour whipt the buyers and sellers out of the Temple though it was prophan'd yet without any pulling downe he calls it the house of prayer Mat. 21. 12. 13. This Puritan sinnes against the 35 Article at the 1 homily which teacheth a decent keeping of the Church Loves familist is he whose purenes is to serue God as wel at his Neighbors charge as at his owne Omnia sunt Communia no one saith that the things which these Loue-Masters possesse are their owne but all are Common Yet S. Paul saith that he is worse then an Infidell that provideth not for his owne family If he be poore his poore purenes must not labour with his hands to get his liuing though he be a Mechanicke he must only meditate on the word Yet the text saith he that will not Labour let him not eate He in his conceipt is a greater S. then S. Iohn the Baptist and that he is in persecution for the Gospell and therefore Ananias doth sell his possessions that the poore brother may participate of his brotherly kindnes Concerning S. Iohn our Sauiour saith that he was as great a Prophet as any borne of a woman Concerning Ananias S. Peter saith that he dissembled with the holy Ghost Concerning this poore Saints persequution for the Gospell his punishment is iustly to be inflicted on him for abusing the gospell with his deceipt to maintaine idlenes His neighbour seduc'de to sel is vndone this is iniurie which must not escape vnpunished This Puritan sinnes against the 38 Article For this truth is to be beleeu'd that as in persequution the rich did releiue the poore Saints So in the time of peace all able men must labour to preserue the Common wealth Here note that Loues-familist in the 38 Article is called the Anabaptist and t is true subiectiuè sed non formaliter The same man may be Loues-familist and the Anabaptist but to be formally the Anabaptist is not to be Loues-familist their definitions differ The Precisian is he whose purenes is not to sweare before a Magistrate yet this kind of swearing is commanded Deut. 6. 13. He teacheth that vnlawfull swearing is a greater sinne than murther God indeed is greater than man Hence is the compare But the effect destructiue is greater by murther for thereby mans life is destroyed but vnlawfull swearing cannot wound so deepe And God commands that the Murtherer die the death blood must be shed for blood he deales not soe seuerely with the swearer This Puritan sinnes against the 39. Article which teacheth that t is lawfull to sweare before a magistrate The Sabbatarian is he whose purenes is to preach downe all holy dayes Preaching the instrumentall directing cause to keepe holy the sabbath day he makes to be the keeping holy the Sabbath but Gods holy worship common praier is this keeping holy the sabbath day For preaching the holy direction teacheth holy worship common praiers to be the holy practise of that day to praise the Lord for our Redemption c. This is the sole principall end of preaching on the Lords day The Sabbatarians preaching is a Sylua synonymorum Tantologies Iterations His praying is too much brainsike babling His opinion is Labour thou sixe dayes therefore there must be noe holy dayes but the Lords day T is true in an vnderstanding iudicious sence Thus. Thou must praise God for the Creation Redemption Restitution and preseruation of the world To praise God for these causes onely the 7. day is set apart which is not the Iewes Sabbath the sabbath only for the creation But this is the day following when Christ rested from subduing sinne hell and death when
