A34793	The schismatick stigmatized wherein all make-bates are branded : whether they are eves-dropping-newes-carriers, murmurers, complainers, railers, reproachers, revilers, repining reformers, fault-finders, quarrell-pickers and corner-creepers : with all the rabble of brain-sicks who are enemies to old Englands peace / by Richard Carter.	Carter, Richard, 17th/18th cent.	1641 (1641)	Wing C664; ESTC R10295	11,943	23

She shames not her taile These for brevitics sake the rest we shall see anon and enjoy their sweet company Then I conceited I heard the fore-named Rout and Rabble whispering crooking and hissing like Toads Snakes Adders and Serpents bussing and hussing like whole swarmes of Bees Waspes and Hornets thus croking hissing buzzing and hussing on both sides mine eares which rouzed me up and now I know my Dreame is out For their Preaching or prating rather against me is nothing but cursing and lyes as I sald above Psal. 59. 12. But while they curse me I will pray for them as our blessed Saviour hath taught us all Father forgive them they know not what they doe and as the Proto-Martyr St. Stephen prayd for his mortall enemies Lord lay not this sinne to their charge and as our Church in Old-England doth teach us all to pray that it may please thee to forgive our enemies persecuters and slanderers and t turne their hearts We beseech thee to heare us good Lord For as much as Schismaticks cannot brooke Church-Musick calling the same the Devills Bag-pipes I shall now sing them a plaine-song and so wind up the Bottome for this time OLD Homers Mastyx Zoilus thou art And carping Momus bitter sharp and tart You learned Poets spare my ignorance The lesse I am the more I you advance Contraria juxta se posita magis manifestant All Schismaticks in generall Against our Church doe vent their Gall Like Cerberus the Dog of Hell At peace and truth they yelp and yell In prayer they say Lard Lard Lard Lard Lard Lard a hundred times is hard But our Lords-prayer they despise Because they are blind and precise Behold how they will brag and boast Blaspheming still the Holy Ghost They say the Spirit doth them lead Because Gods Word they heare and read Gods sacred word they ever wrest And make it speake what faction list Whereby they hide great villany With damned deep hy-po-cri-sie Poore widowes and poore fatherlesse They make no bones still to oppresse And for pretence long prayers make Because men should no notice take The Mote within his brothers eye The Schismatick will soone espy But his owne Beame doth cloud his sight Hypocrisie doth him benight Like painted Tombes they doe appeare With rottennesse full fraughted are Their hearts and tongues doe not agree To God nor King will bend their knee Behold when they doe pray or fast Their hands and eyes to skies they cast Sighing foole-lowd grone glout and lower Wringing a crabbed face most sower But when the poore doe crie for bread The hide-bound slave doth hide his head With words Demure he feeds the poore False-frothy-food he gives great store As Iosephs Mistris cunningly Chaste Iosephs garment laid her by To shew before her Husbands face To hide her whorish lust most base Thus Schismaticks to Church will flock But use Religion for a cloak Unto Brownes Church they shew great zeale Despising Church and Common-weale Fault-finders they will sing no song But babble loud in prayer long No shew of good in them is found But Factions Trumpet loud must sound With vestures gestures and such things White-Surplesse Rotchets Hoods and Rings The Schismatick will prating bee Still Mint Annis Tieth will he Mens vertues fooles will seldome name But blast mens vices to their shame Foule flies such suck foule matter still Rooting Swine-like in each Dung-hill Caesar when he demands his due Then startleth this braine-sick crew They prate forthwith some Scripture Text To spare his money being vext Far from Saint Paul behold he saith That man denyed hath the faith Worse than an Infidell he is Who doth not all provide for his The Divell had his Scriptum Est But sacred Writ he still did wrest He tempts the Church and Christ our Lord As holy Scripture doth Record By heards into Brownes Church they come And squot them downe upon their Bum Gods Service they doe all despise They are so fond blinde and precise They still pretend a publique good But for Faction is understood Our King and State may sinke or swim Peace seemeth nothing unto him Against disorders fooles will prate Controlling King the Church and State Bishops preach wrong but Coblers right If judge may be the Brain-sick-wight Their trade is all to prate and heare Because they are all mouth and eare Like hounds they harke and barke about Our Church is combred with this rout They keep no calling honestly But loyter laze catch cheat and lie And when honest mens goods they nim Free-holders still they prove to him They read no books but sacred Writ But yet God knowes they have no wit A sencelesse sence themselves will give None but a dunce will them believe As holy-water scares a sprite So learning frights the hy-po-crite All our fore-fathers they despise Grave Bishops Doctors Godly-wise These reverend Fathers fooles reject Tom-Cobler will himselfe direct In pulpits trades-men they extoll But King and Church they all controll They seeme a Papist to abhorre For Idolls vaine they doe adore If one be bad neither is good With two faces under one Hood A Drunkard Theefe or whore-Master Rogues Ruffins Bawds I far prefer Before false-faining seeming-good Having two faces in one Hood Sectaries still doe Idolize Vaine factious fansies as their eyes But none can blind our God of light No Devill nor no hy-po-crite Saint James why shouldst thou now have blame Because our Church doth beare thy name Moses and Aaron blessed are No Catharists De-rothing were Saints and their works we high esteeme What ever Brain-sick wise-men deeme Benefactors we all record And for all such still praise the Lord Blinde Zelots with blinde zeale are bent Against order of Parliament Their eares they prick up like an Asse And quarrells pick in Glasse and Brasse He that shall at my Verses stick Perhaps may prove some Schismatick Sectaries Brain-sick heads are sick All spur-gald Jades will wince and kick Fables and Factions fooles love best Fractions and Factions I detest What our King Charles doth defend In that I live and hope to end The Catholick undoubted-Creed I doe believe and hold indeed No way to blisse I know but one That is by Iesus Christ alone Lord blesse King Charles his Majesty His Queen and royall Progeny Elizabeth with her off-spring Their praises all the Muses sing The Honourable Counsell grave Thy Counsell Lord for them we crave And thus we pray with one consent Lord helpe our present Parliament God Almighty send peace among all Christians and blesse Great Britaine But principally increase and also confirme and continue peace more and more between Old England and Scotland Soli Deo Honor Gloria Richard Carter FINIS Behold the guilty man doth dreame All what I write puts him to shame Sutor ne ultra ●repidam

The Schismatick Stigmatized Wherein all Make-bates are branded whether they are Eves-dropping-newes-carriers Murmurers Complainers Railers Reproachers Revilers Repining Reformers Fault-finders Quarrell-pickers and Corner-creepers with all the rabble of Brain-sicks who are enemies to Old Englands Peace Neminem dum possis offendas Et Gemmam pacis offendes Offend no man be meek in minde And thou the Gem of peace shalt finde Bono probari malo quam multis malis By RICHARD CARTER LONDON Printed by J. Okes for Francis Coles and are to b● sold at his shop in the Old Baily 1641. To the Reader Peace Health and Happinesse PEace in all ages She hath still had enemies and slanderers amongst those who know her not But none so bad as Schismaticks For one Thiefe in the house is worse than many without doores Our Blessed Lord Iesus saith A mans enemies shall bee those of his owne house God himselfe first laid the foundation of his Church in peace our blessed Saviour he is the chiefe corner stone and Prince of peace from age to age to this present God hath and still doth maintain and uphold the same by the Ministrie of Christian Kings Queens Princes and Prelates who doe succeed our Lord and his holy Apostles The Devill seeing this stirreth up all the Rebell of Schismaticks like Sampsons Foxes not onely tyed taile to taile but also tongue to tongue with balls of wild-fire or rather hell-fire to disturbe our peace and set fire on all at once But I shall still desire of God that those Foxes may be prevented and taken and this wild-fire quenched I know it belongeth to Master-builders to build a house but being on fire blame me not bringing my Bucket to helpe quench the flame We did all promise this when we were Baptized to fight against the Devill the World and the Flesh under the Banner of Christ which is his Crosse and to continue Christs faithfull Souldiers and servants to our lives end If any shall finde their knowledge increased hereby or their memories rub'd and refreshed in things already knowne then give me thy best wishes as thou hast mine Thy friend could I befriend thee R. C. Conscius ipse sibi de se putat omnia dici The Contents of this great Volume FIrst Schismaticks are Stigmatized according to my reading with brands in number 20. Secondly I have conceited a Phantasie Dialogue-wayes between Tom-ass Pragmaticus the great Petifogger and Nickall-ass Non-sence his close companion Thirdly and last to winde up the bottome because Schismaticks cannot brooke Church-Musicke calling the same the Devills-Bag-pipes and our singing of Psalmes they prophanely terme Geneva-gigs in spight of their teeth their hearts and tongues must sing with me this my home-spunne-plaine-song Reader in reading my insuing Lines I pray thee be not currish but courteous in the 17. Stigma I name divers Trades-men I blame no good Trade but presumptuous Trades-men who dare to climbe up into Pulpits and make themselves bold Ambassadors of the great King of Kings to declare the will of Almighty God to his people This is horrible wickednesse and Devillish damnablenesse Hereby they doe horribly dishonour both God and our King and abuse the people who doe give credit to them But praised be God for ever who doth continue our Kings sacred Majesty in his former royall resolution to continue the Gospell of Peace and the peace of the Gospell that hee may still uphold the Doctrine and Discipline of Old Englands Church Pray we all for the Lords annoynted that God would knit his sacred heart with both his Parliaments in England and Scotland for the rooting out of all Traytors Rebells Heretikes and Schismaticks and compose those great differences in Great Britaine and I know all true hearted Subjects to this will say Amen The Schismatick Stigmatized Stigma 1. SCHISMATICKS in all ages have been and still are Pragmaticall peremptory presumptuous Pettifoggers they will not goe to the Devill alone but they are ever stirring up others to Rebellion Schisme and Faction this all ages and all Nations must witnesse Stigma 2. They are horrible crosse to the proceedings of Kings Princes and Parliaments abusing them with Crosses and crosse Bills and Petitions Stigma 3. They raile against our Church-government and Governours Slandering and loading them with a world of contumelies defamations and opprobrious detractations not once to be named among Christians I may fitly compare them to the Schismaticall-Rebells Korah Dathan and Abiram who murmured against Moses and Aaron Numb. 16. Stigma 4. They are like the Anabaptists as Sleidan reporteth The Devill stirred up giddy-headed Brain-sick Preachers who did not onely prate against the Bishop of Rome but they railed against Luther also Those Schismaticks here are as like the Anabaptists as one egge is like another of the same kind for they raile not onely against Rome but Old England also But I know the Pope is in one extreame and Schismaticks in another for they crie downe all our Orthodoxe Divines and set up mechanicks When a sound Divine hath lived in a parish 30. or 40. yeares Schismaticks in his charge have preferred a Bill against him to bring in a blinde guide And a wife hath put up a Bill in a publick Congregation against her husband and her selfe to bee prayed for because shee loved another man better than her owne husband I suppose her husband gave her Poculum Charitatis in the stead of Copula Cannositatis But they doe with our sound and old Divines as the husbandman doth with his old Oxe when the poore harmlesse creature hath ploughed the ground and dragged the Harrow and drawed his Corne into the Barne then for his reward hee hath an Axe to beate out his braines and a knife to cut his throat Stigma 5. They hang together in private Conventicles as Mr. Calvin compareth them to the old Hereticks the Donatists who in their Conventicles gave mutuall oaths each to other so that they grew to such multitudes in Germany they could not bee vanquished untill there were a hundred thousand of them slaine by the Princes of Germany See Sleidan lib. 7. Stigma 6. And in their Conventicles they pretend nothing but Reformation humiliation fasting and prayer perswading poore ignorants that they are all for Reformation Reformation and nothing but Reformation forsooth hereby they disturbe the peace of our Church wonderfully as Bullenger saith Lib. 6. cap. 10. Advers. Anabapt. and Gualiher in 1. Cor. Epist. Dedicat. doth most lively set them forth Stigma 7. They would have a parity and equality of Ecclesiasticall persons like the Anabaptists as Bullenger saith Gastius and Hemingius reporteth the same De Erroribus Catabaptist those Owles Growes and Mag-pyes would have our Church like Polyphemus without eyes and without order like the confused Chaos so bring the Minister of the Gospell into contempt forgetting that Solomon was a Preacher as well as a King and Nicodemus was a Ruler of Iewes and a Preacher also But prate they of parity and brawl their

They pretend an extraordinary inspiration like the Gold-smith that blinde Prophet in Germany who proclaimed Iohn of Leidon the Cobler that he should be Emperour of all the world and that he should destroy all Princes Potentates and Prelates but should spare all the common rout who are the onely lovers of sincerity This was in the yeare 1533. Here was the like braine-sick Schismatick in England Hacket by name he was proclaimed King by other Schismaticall Rebells in the 33. of Elizabeth read Conspira pag. 66. and the Annalls of England collected by Iohn Stow pag. 1288. Also in the same 33. yeare of Queen Elizabeth I read of another Braine-sick Rebell who with trayterous words reviled her Majesty and defaced her Armes and pierced in that part of her picture which did represent her breast and heart for the which treason hee was justly put to death July 26. in the yeare above named Read the fore-named Iohn Stow his Annals p. 1289. Almighty God who hast delivered Queen Elizabeth and K. Iames from all their enemies preserve also King Charles his sacred Majesty from all his and our mortall phanatick and Braine-sicke Schismaticall foes Amen Stigma 19. They revile Gods Divine Service prophanely tearming the same Porredge and the Popes Masse-booke yea their blinde zeale will not permit the reading of the Sacred Scriptures in publick no nor to use our blessed Lords Prayer neither first nor last all our Service is no better than Masse if you will believe Schismaticks And being grossely scandalous with whoring couzenage and drunkennesse and slandering they put it oft saying it is the flesh for they are altogether spirituall forsooth Stigma 20. Last of all they are miserable close-fisted when our Kings Majesty demandeth his due for his Royall supportation and for the safety and defence of his Kingdomes I have read that on a time Constantinople was besieged a long time together and at last the enemy was minded to give over the siege and bee gone but newes came to the enemy that the souldiers within the City were growne verie weak and discontented for want of their pay the enemy then returned and in short space took the City there they found infinite store of gold and all manner of treasure the hundred part thereof would have payed the Souldiers and so have kept out the enemy and preserved all The enemy himselfe seeing the treasure hid basely hee lamented their folly and this is a Proverb to this day among the Turks when one becommeth very rich You have beene at the siege of Constantinople I leave this Bone for all hide-bound close-fisted Schismaticks to gnaw upon I will adde what King Iames of ever blessed memory saith in his learned {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} verbatim his words are these in the 42. page of the said Booke These are very Pests in Church and Common-weale whom neither oathes nor promises can bind breathing out nothing but sedition and calumnies aspiring without measure and rayling without reason making their owne imaginations without any warrant of Gods Word the square of their consciences I protest before the great God and since it is no time for mee to lye being now upon my Testament that yee shall never finde with any hy-land or border-theeves greater ingratitude and more lyes and vile perjuries than with these Phanatick spirits Read the rest of this Page and the 43. of this most excellent Booke I will adde what I read in the Book of Homilies Tome 1. p. 36. The world from the beginning till now was ever prompt and ready to fall from God and his holy Commandements in seeking other devices of their owne braines and a devotion found out by the Devill and themselves the which idle dreames and devices they ever set up above Gods Commandements What man of learning and sound judgement doth not see how hypocrisie schisme and faction and heresie doe not daily more and more creep into our Church The foure Leaven thereof doth almost foure the unleavened lumpe I will conclude with that reverend Bishop Iuell indeed the Juell of our Church whose Workes are famous in our severall Churches He saith O immortall God have all our Orthodox Divines beene out of the way and now are a sort of Schismaticks onely in the truth God forbid God forbid It hath been an old complaint even from the first time of the Patriarchs and Prophets confirmed by the writings and testimonies of every age veritatem in terris peregrinam agere interagnotos facile inimicos calumniatores invenire Apologia Eccles. Ang. And God affect all our hearts with a serious and frequent cogitation of sicknesse death and the last judgement that we may all feare God and honour our King and live in peace as good subjects should doe according to Gods holy Word and blessed Ordinance that in whatsoever we do think or speake wee may ever minde that terrible voyce Surgite mortui venite ad judicium St. Hieron. de Reg. Monarch Chap. 30. Saint Hierom oft did well record The second comming of our Lord When this huge Globe shall with fire flame And all the creatures in the same Therefore all minde that dreadfull doome Arise you dead to judgement come Here followeth my Phantasie or Conceit between Tom-asse Pragmaticus and Nick-all-asse Non-sence THomas thus began to vapour Oh brother Nickallas come come give me thy hand give me thy hand well met well met what newes about religion the time is come we looked for there are rods in these popish times in pisse for all those papisticall Protestants and for this Episcopall Dependant Government and Governours what saist thou Nickallas Nick Ha ha he well emet well emet brother Tom ge me thy han ge me thy vest I say I con but laugh ha ha lie Oh my zide oh my belly I zay what did you hire of the Protestation protested wherein thuck zweet Teacher you know who doe say that this government is popish as indeed 't is my Creed Tom. But what saist thou to this R. C. who hath written two Poems besides this and in all three he doth extoll this Anti-Christian government to the skies Nick I can him thurty or vorty years better than thuck that maden and no man knoweth what 's in hem but I c ham zure he hath a little Pope in 's belly vor he is ever pooring in books and mooping by himzelfe and this is the unjust cause he giveth thanks vor Zaints departed and zets up Zaints in the Church ha ha he I have hit the naile on the head c ham zure of that ha ha he oh my belly and my side I say Tom. I hit that in his teeth and he said that he did put up one picture of St. Iames in St. Iames his Church and because he stood bare-headed at the time of Divine Service therefore we have puld it downe But the next time hee shall bee set up with his hat on his head sitting on his Bum. I
