XXI Encratica Have a great respect to observe the traditions of men but blaspheme Scriptures as their predecessor did Pauls Ep. These will adore the Book of Common praier and act their part of a play or prophane Theatre with great devotirn but as they did at Redding and other places threw the Bibles into the fire and burne them to ashes One of them when a report was made of a defeat given by the Enemie to a partee of our forces in the North one said in my own hearing Mosly by name as I am justifie upon oath Where is your Iesus to help you now as if in beleeving the Scriptures we had trusted in that Word which cannot save us Euseb l. 4. c. 18.

August index heresies XXIII Theodotians Deny Christ to be God of whom a fect of Welch Cavalires under Colonell Gerhard have learned to call upon the Virgin Mary to command her Son to help them and attribute more vertue to her milke then to his blood which they daily profane by bloody oathes and execrations Symps ch p. 420.

XXV Samosetence under the Lord Hopton Believe that it was onely Christs valour and wisdom which obtained him so great a report in the World And therefore hold it their chiefest wisdome to strive each to precede each others in some valour plots or projects to beget an applause of those the fight for who by their Conjuring and Sophistrie have perswaded some to incredible opinions of their own glory Symps c. p. 244. XXVI Manicheans Do utterly reject the Old Testament ascribing not sin to the free will of man and his voluntarie defection from the estate of his first creation but to necessitie because mans body was made of the substance of the Prince of darkenes which rocks the young Cavaliers of Colonell Gorings new regiment into a pleasing slumber of security in vice Symps c. p. 244. XXVII Apollinaries Say that Christ in the dispensation of his Incarnation assumed the body onely and not the soul of a man because his divinity supplied the place of his soul And one stream of such a fountain in another case runs over all the Cavallies under Generall Forth who would traduce us to beleeve that the bodie of the two Houses of Parliament have no other vitall whereby to live then the Kings presence denying that power by which his Majeste hath put an influence to everie motion acted by that grand bodie who enjoy both the life of the Law Prerogatice and Priviledge besides his Majesties owne Aact to them above all former Parliaments Ruffem l. 2.20 XXVIII Donatists under Montrosse Believe that neither the Word of God nor any under the cope of Heaven can make so perfect a Church as their own Discipline as if it was impossible for Rome to erre Whose Ministers are as vitious as profane heathen And no calling in the World live in greate impietie as M.
