Doctrine and instructions of very necessary matter Worthy Sirs I beseech you consider whether this hath not been the effect of your strife and contention about these things of less importance and hath not alienated the minds of many that they will never hear your instructions in matters necessary to salvation It is hath not yet give me leave to tell you it will unavoidably be the end of your present Non-conformity Do you think that the way for to establish and continue those things which should be esteemed of greater force and value than a form of Prayer a Rite or Ceremony viz. That soundnesse and purity of Doctrine that we have amongst us and the great liberty of Preaching thereof is for you to suffer deprivation of your Ministry and hereby endanger all for matters that the Reverend Beza saith are not Tanti I find indeed a seeming Objection by the Petitioners for Peace pag. 13. That if men must be cast out of the Church or Ministry because that they are not wiser then the most Learned ●s the Pastors of most of the Reformed Churches and as Hildersham Bains Parker Ames Dod Ball Nichols and many such others as have taken Non-Conformity to be a sinne how few alas how few will there be left But if you be pleased but to consider of the Quotations that I have presented before you of the Ancient pastors of most of the Reformed Churcher of what is newly come forth by Mr. Durel in his Book entituled A View of the Government and publick worship of God in the Reformed Churches beyond the Seas and also of what followeth It will appear that this was a very great mistake and that they have not taken this Conformity to be a sin but disobedience rather to the commands of our Superiors in this Case to be a sin and great abuse of Christian Liberty Of this mind as I take it is the Reverend Beza Epist 24. ad Peregrinarum Ecclesiarum in Angl. Fratres Coxsequitur cum abuti Christianae libertatis beneficio qui vel suis Magistratibus vel praepositis suis sponte non paret in Domino nec conscientiam fratrum edificere studet Now I humbly conceive that he that by refusing obedience to the commands of his superiors shall be exposed to those sufferings which the Act inflicteth in this case he doth not take the way to edifie the conscience of his Brother but to fill it with horrid perplexity and fear about these indifferent things concluding surely they are out of measure sinfull that men will rather suffer so much then conform to the use thereof As to what hath been said by those worthies of our own Nation taking Conformity to be a sinne I hope I shall make it appear by this following Discourse to be a great mistake But if any of those have taken Conformity for a sin is this an Argument sufficient for Ministers and Teachers of others that do professe to abhor the Popish Doctrine of infallibility in the Church of Rome for to stick to the practice of it In this case because that you would not be thought to be wiser than they that have taken Non-Conformity to be a sinne In my weak judgement it is being too much of the Colliers Faith that I have read and doth savour of too much following the Tradition of our Fore-fathers in these matters Certainly those Traditions that do tend to the disturbing of the Peace of the Church and State wherein we live to the alienating our affections from each other that do professe our selves to be Christs Disciples that do incline the minds of men to decline the example of Christ and of his Apostles and to condemn the practise of many precious and pious servants of the Lord. These are such Traditians as make the Word of God of none effect such for which Saint Paul repented he had been so zealous for Gal. 14. and such as from the observance thereof Christ came to redeem us by his most precious blood I confesse there is scarce any thing doth more stick with us in matters of Religion than to renounce the Traditions of our Fore-fathers Our Fathers worshipped in this mountain said the woman of Samaria to our Saviour And if ever any had cause seriously to bethink themselves we of this Nation have whose discontents and animosities grounded very much as I conceive upon the Opinions and Traditions of some good men since our Reformation from Popery have produced the most dolefull effects that I think any History in the Christian World can produce or parrallel Charity induceth me to believe that if 〈◊〉 Worthy men such as Mr. Hilde●sham that ●●ch written so perswasively in Lecture 35. on Psal 51. to satisfie weak Christians about the Surplice and the Cross and to keep them from leaving the publick assemblies therefore and Mr. Paul Baines that so zealously reprehended in his Book upon Ephes 2.15 fol. 297. a Secession and departure from the Church of God our visible assemblies shewing this was not so much to reform as deform giving also this most excellent Rule which I find in other Pious and Learned mens advice * Aug. Epist 119. Multa Tolerantur ub● facultas non datur refecandi B●za Epist ad fratres Anglican Possant ac●etiom debent multa tolerariquae tamen non recte praecipiuntu● That whatsoever lyeth not in our power to reform it shall be our zeal and piety to tolerate and patiently bear And Mr. John Ball that hath so vindicated the Common Prayer and Catechisme of the Church of England as containing such points so contrary to Popery that it is not possible Popery should stand if they take place A say again that while I do consider of the spirits and principles of these men whatever they might be as to their practice yet that they could not well take Non-Conformity to be a sin their Principles and Arguments against the Separation now in Print some of which you shall meet with in this following Discourse clearly evidencing of the same And I am apt to think that had they but survived those Warres which many of us have done who have seen and been Spectators of those garments rolled in blood and of all those dolefull and dismal effects of our differences about modes of Worship and Government And had they but experienced how much when the bodies of men subdued by the power of the sword their minds were no way reconciled to that Government and Worship which was earnestly endeavoured to have been imposed upon the Kingdom And had they but seen how much by the same persons that helped to subdue the other they were opposed with the same bitternesse as was the Episcopal Government and their extirpation by some endeavoured root and branch I cannot but believe that they would have been of the same judgement about these things as the Reverend Mr. Perkins is of an Oath when it doth become impossible This is as a voice from Heaven to declare that we are set at liberty
