A69915	A plea for the Non-Conformists giving the true state of the dissenters case, and how far the Conformists separation from the Church of Rome, for their Popish superstitions and traditions introduced into the service of God, justifies the Non-Conformists separation from them for the same : in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Calamy, upon his sermon, called, Scrupulous conscience, inviting hereto : to which is added, A parallel scheme of the pagan, papal and Christian rites and ceremonies : with a narrative of the sufferings underwent for writing, printing and publishing hereof / by Thomas De Laune.

other Therefore fifthly It doth necessarily respect another thing than Reverencing the syllables of a Name viz. that Power Authority and Soveraignity which the Father gave him in Glory as a Reward of his Suffering which he himself declared after his Resurrection Mat. 28. That all Power was given him in Heaven Earth Ephes 28. This bowing in the Name of Christ in this place being by the Prophet Isa 45. 23 24. explained a Subjection of all to the universal Authority that he shall exercise Name often signifying Power in Scripture Deut. 26. 19. Gen. 6. 4. Psal 44. 5. 20. 1. 7. And therefore is this very Subjection mentioned in the Text of a universal bowing the Knee to his Authority referred to the Judgment day when all both Men Angels and Devils must be subject to him Rom. 14. 11. And it is observable that the words are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In the Name not at the Name of Jesus viz. In his Power and Authority being not a Command but a Prophesie when it shall be fulfilled and accomplished when there shall be that universal subjection to the Soveraignity of Christ That every Tongue shall confess that he is Lord to the Glory of God the Father as the after words mention And which shall be when he shall exert that Power that is inherent in him to subject all Nations to his Authority when he takes to himself his great Power and reigns when the Kingdoms of this World shall become the Kingdoms of our Lord when upon his Vesture and his Thigh shall a Name be written KING of Kings and LORD of Lords and when all shall be gathered before him in the Judgment Day Which I conceive is the true genuine sense and meaning of these words and no such thing as a superstitious bowing at the Syllables of that Name intended which has been so universally practised and enjoyned to the just Offence of the Conscientious who have not an implicit Faith to believe as the Church believes Fifthly Their symbolizing with Popery in Impositions and Persecutions of Dissenters Have and ●o the Papists violently impose their Rites Services and Ceremonies and cruelly prosecute and persecure the Dissenters by Confiscations Imprisonments and Death it self Do not we by our Sanguinary Laws and Executions of them do the very same and whereof not one word of warrant in all the New Testament And how agreeable such a practice is to the Lamb-like Nature of Christs and his Disciples and Followers as also the Doctrines and Sentiments of many of your own Worthies as well as the Suffrage of several of our Kings and Parliaments judge you And whereof I beg leave to give you the following Instances viz. we shall begin with the famous Jewell who notes it out of Chrysostom Homil. on Mat. 19. Doth the Sheep ever persecute the Wolf no but the Wolf the Sheep so Cain persecuted Abel not Abel Cain so Ishmael persecuted Isaac not Isaac Ishmael so the Jews Christ not Christ the Jews so Hereticks the Christians not Christians Hereticks Whereby saith Jewell he plainly implyes That Persecution for Conscience sake is a very Unchristian or ANTICHRISTIAN Sympton And smartly again in the same Homily He that is a Persecutor is no Sheep of Christ's but a Wolf which saith he a Man should make any man afraid to feel any persecutive motion arise in his breast as being Indications of a Cainish Imaelitish and Wolfish Nature and a certain sign that he is none of the Sheep of Christ The learned Dr. Moore in his Preface to the Mystery of Godliness hath many plain and pertinent passages to this point asserting That it is an Antichristian use of Church-Government to direct it to the upholding of useless or mischievous Opinions scandalous Ceremonies and ensnaring Inventions of men And what is it saith he but a Notorious Specimen of Pride thus to force others to acknowledge by making them profess to be of their Opinion And what but Injustice and barbarous Cruelty to afflict men for what they cannot help and in what they do not sin And what but plain Rebellion against God to wrest his Scepter out of his hand by which he ruleth in the Consciences of men and to usurp this Empire to themselves And again lastly saith he A mutual Agreement in bearing with one anothers Dissents in the Non-fundamentals of Religion is really a greater Ornament of Christianity than the most exact Uniformity imaginable it being an eminent Exercise of Charity the flower of all Christian Graces and the best way I think at the long-run to make the Church as uniform as can justly be desired Thus far the Dr. To this purpose also the great Chillingworth in his 4th Chapter Sect. 16. speaks thus This presumptuous Imposing of the senses of man upon the words of God and the special senses of men upon the general words of God and laying them upon mens Consciences together under the equal penalty of Death and Damnation This vain conceit that we can speak of the things of God better than in the words of God This Deifying our own Interpretations and tyrannous Inforcing them upon others This restraining of the Word of God from that latitude and generality and the Understandings of men from that liberty wherein Christ and his Apostles left them is and hath been the only foundation of all the Schisms of the Church and that which makes them Immortal the common Incendiary of Christendom and that which tears in pieces not the Coat but the Bowels and Members of Christ Ridents Turta nec dolente Judaeo Take away these walls of separation and all will quickly be one take away this persecuting burning cursing damning of men for not subscribing to the words of them as the words of God let those leave claiming Infallibility who have no title to it and let them who in words disclaim it disclaim it also in their Actions In a word take away Tyranny which is the Devils Instrument to support Errors and Superstitions and Impieties in the several parts of the world which could not otherwise long withstand the power of Truth I say take away Tyranny and restore Christians to their just and full liberty of Captivating their understandings to Scripture only and as Rivers when they have a free passage run all to the Ocean so it may well be hoped by Gods blessing that Universal liberty thus Moderated may quickly reduce Christendom to Peace and Unity These thoughts of Peace saith he I am perswaded come from the God of Peace and to his blessing I commend them This Book of Mr. Chillingworths was Licensed by R. Bayly Vicechancellor of Oxford Dr. Purideaux Reg. Profess Dr. Fell and Dr. Stradling And Dr. Stillingfleet most excellently in his Irenicum to the same purpose tells us in the Preface That Christ who came to take away the Insupportable Yoke of the Jewish Ceremonies certainly did never intend to gall the Necks of Disciples with an other instead of it

thought fit to be Expunged as giving matter of Scandal and Dissatsfaction to all that Party or that otherwise wished well to that Religion In the first Liturgy of K. Edward The Sacrament of the Lords Body was Delivered with this Benediction That is to say The Body of our Lord Jesus which was given for the preservation of thy Body and Soul to Life Everlasting c. The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Which being thought by Calvin and his Disciples to give some Countenance to the Cross and Carnal Presence of Christ in the Pacrament which passeth by the Name of Transubstantiation in the School of Rome was Altered into this Form into the said Liturgy That is to say Take and Eat this in Remembrance that Christ dyed for thee and feed on him in thy heart by Faith with thansgiving Take and Drink this c. But the Revisors of the Book joyned both Forms togither least under colour of Rejecting a Carnal they might be thought also to Deny such a Real Presence as was Defended in the writing of the Antient Fathers upon which ground she Expunged also a whole Rubrick at the end of the Communion Service by which it was declared that kneeling at the Participation of the Sacrament were required for no other Reason then for the Signification of the humble and grateful Acknowledgment of the Benefits of Christ given therein unto the worthy Receiver and to avoid that prophanation and disorder which otherwise might have ensued and not for giving any Adoration to the Sacramental Bread and Wine there Bodily Received or in regard of any Real or Essential presence of Christs Body and Blood and to come close to the Church of Rome it was ordered by the Queens Injunctions That the Sacrametal Bread which the Book Required only to be made of the finest Flower should be made round in fashion of the Wafers used in the time of Q. Mary She also ordered that the Lords Table should be placed where the Altar stood that the Accustomed Reverence should be made at the Name of Jesus Musick Retayned in the Church and all the Old Festivals observed with their several Eves by which Complyances and Expunging of the passage before mentioned the Book was made so passable amongst the Papists that for ten years they generally Repaired to their Parish Churches without doubt or scruple as is affirmed not only by Sir Edward Cook in his Speech against Garnet and his Charge given at the Assizes held at Norwich but also by the Queen her self in a Letter to Sir Francis Walsingham then her Embassador in France The same Confessed by Sanders also in his Book De Schismat● and therefore Dr. Heilin in a few Pages after adds viz. And now we may behold the Face of the Church of England as it was first setled and Established under Q. Elizabeth the Government of the Church by Arch-bishops and Bishops c. The Liturgy Conform to the Primitive Pattorn viz. of Popery and all the Rites and Ceremonies therin Prescribed Accomodated to the Honour of God and Encrease of Piety the Festivals Preserved in their former Dignity Observed with all their Distinct Offices Peculiar to them and Celebrated with a Religious Concorse of all sorts of People the Weekly Fasts viz. Weenesdays Fridays and Saturdays The holy time of Lent The Embring Weeks Together with the fast of the Rogation Severally kept by a forbeara●ce of all kind of Flesh not now by Vertue of the Statute as in the Time of King Edw. but as appointed by the Church in her publick Callender before the Book of Common Prayer So Correspondant with Rome The Sacrament of the Lords Supper Celebratited in most Reverend Manner The hoby Table Seated in the Place of the Altar The people making their due Reverence at their first Enterance into the Church Kneeling at the Communion The Confession and the Publick Prayers standing up at the Creed the Gospels and the Gloria Patri and Vsing the Accustomed Reverence at the Name of Jesus Musick Retained in all the Churches in which provision had been made for the Maintenance of it or where the people could be Trained up at least to plain Song all which particulars were either Established by the Laws or Commanded by the Queens Injunctions or otherwise Retained by Vertue of some Antient Vsuages not by Law Prohibited nor is it much to be admired that such a general Conformity to those Cntient viz. Popish Vsuages was constantly Observed in all Cathedrals and the most part of the Parish Churches considering how well they were Presidented by the Court it self in which the Liturgy was Officiated every day both Morning and Evening not only in the publick Chappel but the private Closet Celebrated in the Chappel with Organs and other Musical Instruments and the most Excellent Voices of Men and Children that could be got in all the Kingdom the Gentlemen and Children in their Surplices and the Priests in Copes as oft as they Attended the Divine Service at the Holy Altar The Altar furnished with Rich Plate Two fair Guilt Candlesticks with Tapers in them and a Massy Crucifix of Silver in the midst thereof which last remained there for some years till it was Broke in pieces by Pa●h the Fool no wisor man daring to undertake such a Desperate Service at the Sollictation of Sir Frances Knoles the Queens near Kinsman by the Caries and one who openly appeared in Favour of the Shism at Frankford the Antient Ceremonies accustomably observed by the Knights of the Garter in their Adoration towards the Altar abolished by King Edward the 6th and revived by Queen Mary whereby this Queen Retained as formerly in her Fahers Time for which she Received both Thanks and Honour from the very Enemies viz. the Papists as appears by Hardings Epistle Dedicatory before his answer to the Apology So far Dr. Heilin Thus from what the Sons of the Church Cambden and Burnet and Heilin have Affirmed 'T is Apparent that Queen Elizabeth had a Natural propensity to favour the Papists and that this was Discovered by her making the Terms of Communion much more easie to the Papists in K. Edw. Time whereby she became the more Difficult and Arduous to the Protestant Dissenters and whom she Rigorously Prosecuted for their Dissents Cambden Informs us That about the year 1583. The Queen Who held it for a Maxim that she ought not to be more Remiss in Ecclesiastical Affairs advancing Whitgift from the Sea of Worcester to that of Canterbury above all Commanded him to Re-establish the Discipline of the Church of England that as then lay Dismembred by the connivency of Prelates The Obstinacy of Innovators and by the Power of some Great Ones whilst some Ministers using to their own fancy new Rites of Services in their private houses utterly Condemning the Liturgy and the Appointed Manner of Administring the Sacrament as being in many things contrary to the Scripture and therefore many refused to go to Church to Abolish which things

printed respecting a Doubtful Conscience has loudly enough call'd all such as were Dissatisfy'd about some Rites and Ceremonys to Examine the Reasons on both sides Others being silent I obey'd you in that particular not meerly to wrangle for the Encounter is unequal betwixt a Man so Eminent as you are and so mean a Person as I am but that an occassion may be given in compliance to what you desired to conclude Controversys of this nature If meerly for such Obedience I must be punished I know not how nor in what manner is there not a new way of conquering Scrupulous Consciences unheard of in the Holy Scriptures Started by some certain Ringleaders I purposed from Holy Writ and approved Writers to Examine what we ought to judg of these things From that light of our paths from that Lamhorn Psal 119. 105. I gathered some Reasons against those various and multiplied Errours which have crept into the Church For that only thing am I brought to a Prison where there is nothing amiable Whether Arguments of that kind will prevaile to prove the Suppositions in your Sermon Let the Supream Judg Determine Or whether any of the doubting persons can that way be Compelled into the Spiritual Sheep-fold judg you There 's nothing against the Kings Majesty nothing about the Civil Government nothing against the Peace of this Monarchy there asserted The only dispute is about the original of Rites and Ceremonys and of some things which under a shew of Truth though not Righteously are charged upon Doubting persons What the Court will do with me I know not the will of the Supreme Father be done Inward and outward peace in this and Everlasting Peace in the World to come to all such as worship the Saviour of mankind according to his word is Pray'd for by THO. DELAUNE I Desire you to Return me some Answer becoming a Divine by my Beloved Wife as you have promised To this Letter you answered by word of Mouth to my Wife for I had no answer in writing that you lookt upon your self Vnconcerned as not being mention'd in the sheets you saw with the Recorder To satisfy which doubt I sent you a Third Letter with the First sheet of the Book I am imprison'd for which was a plain Demonstration that it was an answer to your Call you know the Letter was thus January the 14th 1683. Sir Whereas in Answer to my two Letters you said to my Wife that my Papers no way concern'd you viz. Such as I am indicted for To satisfy you with respect to that matter I here send you the first Sheet and leave you to consider whether in pure generousity you are not oblig'd to procure a Prisoner whose Obedience to you made him so his liberty I am Sir your humble servant THO. DELAUNE I appeal to your Consience whether I had not some reason to expect some return to these Applications But I had none to any purpose and that too but in a few words by my wife I had some thoughts that you would have performed the Office of a Divine in visiting me in my place of Confinement either to Argue me out of my Doubts which your promis'd SCRIPTURE and REASON not a Mittimus and Newgate could easily do To the former I can yeild To the latter it seems I must This is a severe kind of Logick and will probably dispute me out of this World as it did Mr. Bampfield and Mr. Ralphson lately who were my dear and excellent Companions in Trouble and whose absence I cannot but bemoan as having lost in them a Society that was truly pious truly sweet and truly amiable But I hope the God of mercy will supply the want by a more immediate influence of Comfort then what can be obtained at second hand On the tenth of December two Bills were found against Mr. Ralphson and me by the Grand-jury of London whose Names are as followeth Tho.

Vnlawfully Seditiously and Maliciously did Write Print and Publish and Caused to be Written Printed and Published a certain False Seditious and Scandalous Libel of and concerning the said Lord the King and the Book of Common Prayer aforesaid Intituled a Plea for the NONCONFORMISTS In which said Libel are contained these false Fictions and Scandalous sentences following viz. The Church of Rome and England also are great Transgressors to presume to vary from Christs precept in altering or adding to the form of words exprest by Christ in this 11 of Luke for so they have done They say forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them who trespass against us when there are nosuch words in Christ prayer his words are forgive us our Sins or Debts for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us and says the Indictment again in another part of the said Libell are contained these false Fictions Seditious and scandalous Sentences following viz. And may we not say that in these following particulars we do Symbolize with Idolatrous Rome herein First by injoyning and imposing this here the Indictment makes an Innuendo viz. Meaning the Book of Common Prayer aforesaid as a set form as they do with penaltys contrary to the Scripture Secondly by an often Repetition of the same form in the same exercise three or or four times at least in so much that in Cathedrall Churches it is said or sung ten or twelve times a day contrary to Christs Express words that when we pray we do not make vain Repetitions as the Heathens doe for they think they shall be heard for their
