A10189 A looking-glasse for all lordly prelates Wherein they may cleerely behold the true divine originall and laudable pedigree, whence they are descended; together with their holy lives and actions laid open in a double parallel, the first, betweene the Divell; the second, betweene the Iewish high-priests, and lordly prelates; and by their double dissimilitude from Christ, and his Apostles. Prynne, William, 1600-1669. 1636 (1636) STC 20466; ESTC S121078 71,933 128

Where the Saints and Martyrs are said to be clothed in white linnen robes Therefore Bishops ought toweare white rechets and Ministers white surplesses A learned argument if well prosecuted 1. For these white linnen robes and garments mentioned in these Texts were no rochets or surplesses as these fond men dreame but the spotlesse white robes of Christs owne merits and innocency wherewith these Saints who had put on the Lord Iesus Christ and made their robes white in his precious bloud were inuested as is obedient by Rev. 19. 18. c. 3. 18. 4. 5. c. 7. 13. 14. compared with Pom. 13. 14. Ephes. 5. 26 27. which kinde kinde of sacred white rochet or surplesse few Lord Prelates ever yet wore upon their backes o●… gown●… eves 2. These white robes were not worne only by Bishops Ministers Clergie Cathedrall men as rochets and surplesses are but by all the Saints and Martirs of Christ alike Yf these Tipes then prove any thinge it is only this That all men ought to weare rochets and surplesses not Bishops and Church men only 3. These white robes were their ordinary daylie garments which they never put of upon any occasion no not when they rode in ●…riumph upon white horses ●…ev 19. 14. Therefore no argument fo●… rochets and surplesses wh●…ch are put on only upon speciall occasions and not ever worne as ordinary apparell These Lordly Prelates perscribing only blacke gownes and garments wearing none but such out of the Church and their supplisses rochets to testify their spotlesse purity and holinesse for the most part only in the Church to testify that they are only white Saints in shew whiles they are in the Church and Quier but blacke friendes and divells for the most part in all places else in thei●… lives and actions The true significant reason as I conceive why they weare white robes and rochets only in the Church in time of diuine services where they commonly leave and put them off with all their seeming purity and holinesses with their surplesses but black coates vestments under them and in all places else A thing worthy observation 4. These robes were not worne by these or the Martyrs on earth whiles they lived but put upon them in heaven after they were dead Therfore no argument for but against the wearing of rochets and surplesses here 5. The Disciples and Apostles when they were sent to preach had c●…rtainely but o●…e Coate and garment on the them and that vndoubtedly no white rochet nor surp●…esse These Scriptures therefore make nothing for both or either of them 6. These Saints are said to ride upon white horses only and in these their white linnen garments Revel 19. 14. I may therefore better argue hence That Bishops and Ministers ought ever to ride upon white ho●…ses and no other and that in their rochets and surplesses not th●…ir Canonicall coates cloakes or halfe-gownes then they thence inf●…r That they ought to preach read prayers in their surplesses But of these surplesages enough and too much I proceed 22. Christ professeth of himselfe that he came into the world of purpose for to preach the Gospell Mark 1. 38. Luke 4. 18. Lord Prelates professe that they were not ordayned Lords or Bishops to preach Gods Word but to rule governe and Lord it over their fellow Brethren and their diocesse 23. Our Saviour Christ maketh continuall prayer intercession to his Father for all his chosen people Rom. 8. 34. Heb. 7. 25.
