A13025	A generall treatise against poperie and in defence of the religion by publike authoritie professed in England and other churches reformed. VVherein they that either want leisure to read, or that haue not iudgement to conceiue, or that are not able to buie the learned treatises of other concerning particular points of religion, may yet euidently see poperie not to be of God, and our religion to be acceptable in his sight. Very necessarie for these times, for the confirmation and strengthening of men in our religion, that neither by Iesuits, nor by any other, they may be drawne to poperie, or any other heresie or sect: and likewise for the winning of Papists and atheists to an vnfained liking and true profession of our religion.

i_o suppose_v i_o say_v that_o if_o they_o have_v the_o live_a ass_n now_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n of_o their_o keep_v he_o alive_a yet_o for_o all_o that_o why_o do_v they_o not_o make_v he_o alive_a again_o they_o will_v gather_v a_o counsel_n for_o determine_v what_o new_a honour_n shall_v be_v do_v unto_o he_o 2_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o their_o admonition_n citation_n and_o excommunication_n against_o they_o that_o have_v be_v dead_a and_o bury_v a_o long_a time_n as_o against_o bucer_n paulus_n phagius_n tooly_n john_n glover_n and_o many_o other_o who_o be_v dead_a they_o have_v condemn_v dig_v up_o again_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n at_o least_o their_o bone_n or_o the_o bone_n of_o some_o other_o for_o they_o and_o burn_v they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o toy_n for_o man_n to_o excommunicate_v they_o out_o of_o the_o visible_a church_n that_o god_n have_v call_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v not_o these_o two_o special_a end_n of_o excommunication_n one_o to_o keep_v the_o church_n from_o infection_n by_o the_o company_n of_o such_o as_o deserve_v excommunication_n the_o other_o to_o draw_v the_o person_n excommunicate_v to_o repentance_n when_o death_n have_v first_o take_v they_o away_o what_o fear_n be_v there_o of_o the_o first_o what_o hope_n or_o possibility_n of_o the_o second_o 3_o as_o they_o do_v thus_o abuse_v excommunication_n so_o much_o more_o foolish_o do_v they_o abuse_v and_o blasphemous_o profane_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o baptism_n in_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o church_n bell_n and_o such_o like_a christ_n bid_v nation_n to_o be_v baptize_v not_o church_n or_o bell_n christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n teach_v and_o baptize_v therefore_o also_o they_o may_v as_o well_o teach_v the_o gospel_n to_o church_n and_o bell_n as_o baptize_v they_o neither_o have_v church_n and_o bell_n any_o sin_n to_o be_v forgive_v or_o whereof_o they_o can_v repent_v therefore_o church_n and_o bell_n need_v not_o the_o

the_o prophet_n of_o god_n and_o altogether_o unworthy_a of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o most_o wise_a god_n certain_o i_o marvel_v why_o play_n interlude_n and_o comedy_n be_v in_o such_o request_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n since_o in_o their_o golden_a legend_n they_o may_v daily_o read_v or_o hear_v and_o in_o their_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n they_o do_v daily_o see_v such_o

that_o he_o do_v sharp_o rebuke_v his_o servant_n for_o bring_v such_o a_o person_n in_o his_o court_n and_o that_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o loe_o you_o see_v this_o man_n be_v beside_o himself_o

to_o my_o house_n in_o like_a sort_n yea_o and_o much_o more_o will_v the_o god_n of_o all_o wisdom_n rebuke_v those_o that_o shall_v plead_v for_o popery_n or_o present_a papist_n unto_o his_o

much_o delight_n in_o fool_n and_o laugh_v at_o their_o folly_n though_o they_o shall_v make_v better_a use_n of_o they_o but_o the_o only_a wise_a god_n be_v delight_v only_o with_o true_a wisdom_n and_o such_o as_o be_v true_o wise_a therefore_o all_o the_o folly_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o foolish_a papist_n themselves_n so_o long_o as_o they_o continue_v such_o be_v abomination_n unto_o
