As for the dayes of King Edward the Sixth we cannot but acknowledge to the glory of the rich mercy of God that there was a great Reformation of Religion made even to admiration And yet notwithstanding we do much dislike the humour of those that cry up those dayes as a compleat pattern of Reformation and that endevour to reduce our Religion to the first times of King Edward which we conceive were comparatively very imperfect there being foure impediments which did much hinder that blessed work The three Rebellions One in Henry the Eighths time by the Priests of Lincoln and Yorkeshire for that Reformation which Cromwel had made The other two in King Edwards dayes One in Cornwal the other in York●shire The strife that arose suddenly amongst the Peers emulating one anothers honour Speed pag. 837.

The inhumane butcheries blood-sheddings and cruelties of Gardiner Bonner and the rest of the Bishops in Queen Maries dayes are so fresh in every mans memory as that we conceive it a thing altogether unnecessary to make mention of them On●ly we fear lest the guilt of the blood then shed should yet remain to be required at the hands of this Nation because it hath not publickly endeavoured to appease the wrath of God by a general and solemn humiliation for it What the pract●ces of the Prelates have been ever since from the begininning of Queene Elizabeth to this present day would fill a volume like Ezekiels Roll with lamentation mourning and wo to record For it hath been their great designe to hinder all further Reformation to bring in doctrines of Popery Arminianisme and Libertinisme to maintain propagate and much encrease the burden of h●mane ceremonies to keep out and beat down the Preaching of the Word to silence the faithfull Preachers of it to oppose and persecute the most zealous professours and to turn all Relig●on into a pompous out-side and to tread down the power of godliness Insomuch as it is come to an ordinary Proverb tha● when any thing is spoiled we use to say The Bishop's foot hath been in it And in this and much more which might be said fulfilling Bishop 〈◊〉 Prophecie who when he saw that in King Edwards reformation there was a reservation of Ceremonies and Hierarchy is credibly reported to have used these words Since they have begun to taste of our Broath it will not be long ere they will eat of our Beef FINIS * Videbat enin● passim laborari mole copiâ variorum in hoc genere commen●●tiorum novis editionibus ancipitem reddi corum delectū sed meliores etiam id est veteres illos et probatos Authores è studiosorum manibus excuti c Praefat.

and publique punishment they have deserved But what if pious Constantine in his tender care to prevent the Divisions that the emulation of the Bishops of that age enraged with a spirit of envie and faction were kindling in the Church le●t by that meanes the Christian Faith should be derided among the Heathens did suppresse their mutuall accusations many of whi●h might be but upon surmises and that ●ot in a Court of Iustice b●t in an Ecclesiasticall Synode shall this be urged before the highest Court of Iustice upon earth to the patronizing of N●toriou● scandall● and hatefull en●rmities that are already proved by evidence of cle●●e witnesse But ●o forbid it to tell it in Ga●h c. What the sin ●as that is done already Do we not know the drukennesse profanenesse superstition Popishnesse of the English Clergie rings at Rome already yes undoubtedly and there is no way to vindicate the Honour of our Nation Ministery Parliaments Sovereigne Religion God but by causing the punishment to ring as farre as the sin hath done that our adversaries that have triumphed in their sin may be confounded at their punishments Do not your Honours know that the plaistring or palliating of these rotten members will be a greater dishonour to the Nation and Church then their cutting off and that the personall acts of these sonnes of Belial being connived at become Nationall sins But for this one fact of Constantine we humbly crave your Honours leave to present to your wisdome three Texts of Scripture Ezek 44.12.13 Because they ministred unto them before their ●dol● and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity therefore have I lift up my hand unto them saith the Lord and they shall beare their iniquity And they shall not come neere unto me to do the Office of a Priest unto me nor to come neere unto any of mine holy things in the most holy place c. The second is Ier●m 48.10 Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord negligently and the third is Iudges 6.31 He that will plead for Baal let him be put to death while it is yet morning We have no more to say in this whether it be best to walk after the President of Man or the Prescript of God your Hunours can easily judge SECT XVII BUt stay saith this Remonstrant and indeed he might well have stayed and spared the labour of his ensuing discourse about the Church of England the Prelaticall and the Antiprelaticall Church but these Episcopall Men deale as the Papists that dazle the eyes and astonish the senses of poor people with the glorious name of the Church the Church The holy Mother the Church This is the Gorgons head as Doctor White saith that hath inchanted them held them in bondage to the●r Errors All their speech is of the Church the Church no mention of the Scriptures of God the Father but all of the Mother the Church Much like as they write of certain Aethiopians that by reason they use no marriage but promiscuously company together the children only follow the Mother the Father and his name is in no request but the mother hath all the reputation So is it with the Author of this Remonstrance he stiles himself a Dutifull son of the Church And it hath beene a Custome of late times to cry up the holy Mother the Church of England to call for absolute obedience to holy Church full conformity to the orders of holy Church Neglecting in the meane time God the Father and the holy Scripture But if we should now demand of them what they meane by the Church of England this Author seemes to be thunder-stricken at this Question and calls the very Question a new Divinity where he deales like such as holding great revenues by unjust Titles will not suffer their Titles to be called in Question For it is apparent Ac si solaribus radiis descriptum esset to use Tertullians phrase that the word Church is an Equivocall word and hath as many severall acceptions as letters and that Dolus latet in universalibus And that by the Church of England first by some of these men is meant onely the Bishops or rather the two Archbishops or more properly the Archbishop of Canterbury Just as the Iesuited Papists resolve the Church and all the glorious Titles of it into the Pope so do these into the Archbishop or at fullest they understand it of the Bishops and their party met in Convocation as the more ingenuous of the Papists make the Pope and his Cardinals to be their Church thus excluding all the Christian people and Presbyters of the Kingdome as not worthy to be reckoned in the number of the Church And which is more strange this Author in his Simplicity as he truly saith never heard nor thought of any more Churches of England then one and what then shall become of his Diocesan Churches and Diocesan Bishops And what shall we think of England when it was an Heptarchy had it not then seven Churches when seven Kings Or if the Bounds of a Kingdome must constitute the Limits and Bounds of a Church why are not ●ngland Scotland and Ireland all one Church when they are happily united under one gracious Monarch into one Kingdom We read in Scripture of the Churches of Iudea and the Churches of Galatia and why not the Churches of England not that we denie the Cons●ciati●n or Combination of Churches into a Provinciall or Nationall Synod for the right ordering of them But that there should be no Church in England but a Nationall Church this is that which th●s ●mb●r ●o his simplicity affirmes of which the very rehearsall is a 〈◊〉 SECT XVIII THere are yet two things with which this Remonstrance shuts up it self which must not be past without our Obelisks First he scoffs at the Antiprelatical Church and the Antiprelatical Divisions for our parts we acknowledge no Antiprelatical Church But there are a company of men in the Kingdom of no mean rank or quality for Piety Nobility Learning that stand up to bear witness against the Hierarchie as it now stands their usurpations over Gods Church and Ministers their cruel using of Gods people by their tyrannical government this we acknowledge and if he call these the Antiprelatical Church we doubt not but your Honours will consider that there are many thousands in this Kingdom and those pious and worthy persons that thus do and upon most just cause It was a speech of Erasmus of Luther Vt quisque vir est optimus it is illius Scriptis minimè offendi The better any man was the less offence he took at Luthers Writings but we may say the contrary of the Prelates Ut quisque vir est optimus it à illorum factis magis offendi The better any man is the more he is offended at their dealings And all that can be objected against this party will be like that in Tertullian Bonus vir Cajus Sejus
