lib. 8. To say nothing of look beyond Luther at large and of Dr. Humphrey in his Prax. Jesuitismi fol. 17. who shews how many witnesses Oxford hath afforded against the Romish Religion which I speak largely of in my Appendix to the Treatise of Antichrist I shall conclude this Paragraph with setting Dolman against Dolman who confesseth ingeniously in his pag. 19. that either Simon Zelotes the Apostle or Joseph of Arimathaea the Disciple brought Religion into this Land from Jerusalem Hence I Argue if it came hither first from Jerusalem then it came not hither first from Rome as he elsewhere saith 13. Moreover if we consider either the name or the thing the Novelty hereof will be more evident 1. Consider the name Papist 't is but a novel name and not found among the Ancients What need any further Testimony of this when their own Father Bristow doth confess it saying in his eighth Demand that the name Papist was never heard of till the time of Pope Lee in the fifteen hundredth year of Christ Habemus reum Confitentem 't is enough The Testimony of an Adversary against himself is unquestionable Secondly Consider the thing Popery in its Popish Points which are all novel Points and not known to the ancient Church We are able to shew the first Authors of their corrupt Doctrines which were not received into the Church for six hundred years after Christ and though we could not do this yet would it not follow that the Romish Church is the true ancient Church For first Many Heresies did spring up after the Apostles time yet none knew how 1 Joh. 2.18 and 4.1 yea Popery it self began to work at that time 2 Thes 2.7 Secondly The Head of some Errors may be as hard to discover as the Head of the River Nilus and the rather because Satan that Super-Seminator sows his Tares in the night while men slept Mat. 13.15 They are so privily and so creepingly brought in Gal. 2.4 2 Tim. 3.6 2 Pet. 2.1 and Jude 4. But above all that Grand Error of Popery in as much as it is called a Mystery of Iniquity was foisted in less discernably Thirdly The Romanists themselves do acknowledge that there are many Errors crept into the Church the first Authors whereof cannot be named And Fourthly It would be enough to discover the Novelty of Popery by demonstrating that it cannot be found in the Holy Scriptures which is the truest Antiquity 14. I have already discovered the Novelty of many Popish Points of the Romish Religion in pag. 26. Paragraph 65 66. c. of this Treatise That they were not from the beginning but are all additions by the man of sin and therefore accursed Revel 22.18 My Additions therefore thereunto shall be such only as my brevity proposed can admit to say but little to their inferior practick Points as of their Popish Beads Holy Water Missal Vestments Latin Service c. 1. The use of their Beads in their blind devotion came not from Peter the Apostle but from Peter the Hermit that Trumpet to the Holy War so called who taught them the manner of praying with Beads that thereby they might reckon their Prayers as if God should be verily in their Debt for their so many Pater Nosters and Ave Maries whereas true Devotion is not so much Numeranda ut Ponderanda numbered as pondered with the Lord he will have weight and worth in right Prayer and not Vain babbling Mat. 6.3 Battilogia Pentificia vel ipsum Satanam pudeat Their vain Repetitions are so gross and shameless that the Devil himself had he any shame in him would be ashamed of them faith learned Beza 2. Their Holy Water Polidor Virgil makes Pope Alexander the first to be its Author Anno Domini 118 or 121. see Prideaux his Introduction pag. 69. I confess they may go to Nama Pompilius and other Heathens for consecrated Water long before this Pope Alexander for they had their 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 at their Idol-Temple doors and their Baronius alledges Juvenal's sixth Satyr for their Lustral Water Surely this is not an Antiquity for the Romanists to boast of to borrow from Devil-worshippers 15. It must not be denied that if their Holy Water be derived from Numa Pompilins it hath Antiquity in it because Numa was seven hundred years before Christ a good Warrant for Christian Holy Water and in nothing better than in this that Numa was a reputed Conjurer and so a fitter Author of that conjured Water It is truly called so from their own form of consecrating this Holy Water which is as followeth I conjure thee O thou Creature Water in the Name of God † the Father Almighty and in the Name of Jesus † Christ the Son and by the power of the Holy † Spirit with certain Prayers mumbled over it then they blasphemously equal it to the blood of Christ for purging away sins you may suppose 't is only such Sins as have no deep rooting in us that a few drops of this Holy Water can wash away I wonder they should overlook that Holy Water mentioned Numb 5.17 there 's Antiquity indeed better than Baronius's sixth Satyr of Juvenal Baron Annal. ann 44. but the mischief is that was an Holy Water that caused the Curse Num. 5.21 Water is indeed an Element that God hath given us both for Natural and Celestial use the first in Household Affairs the second in the Sacrament of Baptism these are truly ancient things but the Romanists converting it beyond all Divine Ordination by their Exorcisms and Inchantments to other Magick and Idolatrous Uses This is a mere Novelty and Nullity The words of their Exorcisms run thus Exorcizo te Aqua Benedicta ut fias aqua exercizata c. that thou maist have power to drive away Devils Oh ridiculous Much more might I say to this point but my Book intended little swelleth much already 16. So I must be abrupt in it as likewise 3. In their Missal Vestments wherein they do plainly Judaize yea more than so or rather Heathenize it therein For 1. They cannot plead the Garments of the Levitical Priesthood seeing this were to send the Messiah to Moses School and so to deny that Christ is come in the Flesh Which is the spirit of Antichrist 1 Joh. 4.2 3. for Christ by his coming changed the Law of the Levitical Priesthood Heb. 7.11 and together with it the Rites and Apparels which glittering Garments could not congruously correspond with the Simplicity of the Gospel 2. Popish Priests do more than Judaize in as much as they abound more in their Holy Garments than ever the Mosaical Priests did for the High Priests had but seven Garments appointed them and the other Priests but two yet the Popish Priests have six their Popish Prelates nine more Ration Divin Offic. lib. 3. cap. 1. and Bellarm. lib. 2. de Miss cap. 14. And the Popes in their Pontificalibus said Erasmus may better be compared to Julius Caesar

te sanguine quem sitisti eujnsque insatiabills semper suisti Justin hath been insatiable of Blood The Rabbins well understand the Romanists those false Brethren the Popes Bloodhounds by the Edomites That pursued their Brethren with the Sword and cast off all pity their Anger tearing perpetually c. Amos 1.11 See the Parallel in (c) Dr. Taylor 's Romish Edomite Dr. Taylor 's Romish Edomite 286. The Burthen of Duma in Isa 21.11 which is Idumaea or Edom the Hebrew Rabbins apply it to Rome reading Roma for Duma for there is great affinity betwixt their Daleth and Resh and their Vau is likewise read sometimes V and sometimes O and they say Quia vix acriores hostes experti sunt Judai quàm Idumaos ideò Romanos illis infensissimos vocârunt novos Idumaeos (d) Dr. Ellis bellum in Idumaeos pag. 7. And they call the Kingdom of the Pope Regnum Edom impium 287. Now Edom signifies Red a Name put upon Esan Geu 25.30 not only because he was greedy of the Red Pottage but also because lie was Red in Complexion and colour of his Body ver 25. being overgrown with Red Hair all over importing the bruitishness of the man and the monstrousness of his manners in whose person God prefigùreth the bloody and barbarous disposition of such as persecute his Church and dye their Garments Red with the blood of his Children 288. Such bloody Edomites are the Romanists for as the Edomites had an ancient intestine and inbred Enmity against the Seed of God in their first Founder Esau against his Brother Jacob continued yea perpetuated in Esau's Posterity Amos 1.11 and that notwithstanding the neerness of kindred between them Mal. 1.2 and the fair and friendly Carriage of the Israelites towards them in their passage to Canaan Deut. 24.6 and the Laws made after in favour of them above other Neighbour Nations Dent. 23.7 yet none were so spiteful and cruel to Israel as they Amos 1.11 Obad. 10.14 Psal 137.7 289. So the Romish Edomites have been found a bloody Generation by smarting experience in all ages and in all countreys whose malignity against the seed and Israel of god hath been so inveterate and implacable that no obligations either of Oaths asseverations yea or of execrations could banke it in much less have they been bounded in with bonds of either affinity or Consanguinity As Edom of old not at all remembring the brotherly Covenant Am. 1.9 290. The tragedies they have acted in so many Kingdoms and commonwealths notwithstanding all professions and protestations yea and obligations of oaths to the contrary doth abundantly Evidence this whose cruelties hath exceeded that of Diomedes who fed his dogs with mans flesh or that of Perillus who tormented men in an hot brazen bull and indeed all paralells unheard of among Pagans Turks or any Barbarians 191. They are found most notoriously true to that damned principle of their Church to wit Nulla fides cum Haereticis Keepe no leagues with hereticks and 't is no more Sin to kill one of them then to kill a Dog Yea all their other Principles are steep'd in blood tollerating Rebellion against King and Kingdome murdering of Princes blowing up of Parliaments kindling coals of Devision hotter then coals of Juniper between confederate states wherein they live in too much peace Witness many Kingdoms at this day 292. Oh what maps of blood are represented to us of Germany Ireland France England c. All which they made Aceldama's or fields of blood wherein those bloudy Papists with their vizards pull'd off acted more like incarnate Devils then men of reason and common Humanity to shew that they are of their Father the Devil who was a murderer from the beginning and (e) John 8.44 the works of their father they will doe And (f) Ezek. 21.31 that they are a Brutish people skillful to destroy Ezek. 21.31 293. It would make ones ears tingle and ones bowells yerne to read or hear related what those Engineers of cruelty acted upon the Stage of those several countreys making it their sport to torture poor Protestants and striving which of them could be most barbarously exquisite in tormenting them as if it had been some meritorious and supererogating work in those fire-brands of Hell like bloudy Vulters to suck the blood of Saints 294 Except we enter into the confines of Hell where can wee find a fellow to that Blood-thirsty Monster (g) Idaea Reform Antichr tom 1. part 2. cap. 6.

Yea though they change their Religion as Henry the 4. of France by Ravilliac 295 And t is no wonder if Edom like they trample under foot all Covenants when they are taught that by heresie all bonds and obligations of Nature of Covenant of Oaths and of duties are ipso facto dissolved and Hereticks may be slain by sword or by treason even with the destruction of many innocent Catholicks Oh doctrine of devils yea that Hell-born plott of the Gunpowder-treason found an Apology from this same Eudamon approbation from Claudius Aquavina excuse from Bellarmine and absolution from Hamon all Jesuites 296. To conclude this 4. cursed property of the Romish Religion the Bloodiness and cruelty of it which is the fourth of those seven unclean Spirits that like the empty house Christ speaks of Math. 12.43.44 it is compleatly in this number of perfection possessed with And this is an unclean spirit with an Emphasis a Diabolical spirit from the old Man-slayer that red Dragon which both rules in and rides on even whipping and spurring the rageing Romanists who do not only walk but even run in the way of Cain the Devil 's eldest Partriarch and the first Apostate Jude 11. in (k) Agarius Instit moral lib. 8. cap. 13.
