this Head of the Church stands affected he will soon guess at the foulness of the Stomach and give an account of the weak and crazy Constitution of the whole Body Ecclesiastick Do but observe the numerous and haughty Titles that he so magisterially assumes to himself as the Universal the Infallible Bishop of Rome the Head of the Catholick Church the Supreme Pastor the Holy one the Pope Christ's Vicegerent God's Vicar a Vice-god nay a God upon Earth and God knows how many more and then tell me truly whether in his Pride and number of Names he may not out-vye both Turk and Persian and

Lord of Rome the other Rumschah King of Rome First then to begin with the Blasphemies used by several Popes themselves which are so great that if Profaneness it self could it assume an humane Shape

Grandees of Rome had a Peacock serv'd in at Dinner his beloved Dish and gave strict order it should be kept cold for his Supper but it seems some of his Servants through neglect dispos'd of it otherwise now when the time of his Evening Repast came and he found it wanting he fell into so great a Chafe and Rage for this Sin of Omission in his Servitor that his Holiness was guilty of a Sin of Commission insomuch that a more moderate Cardinal one of his Guests told him that it was ill done to be so passionate and fly out into so great a Fury for so small a Trifle but he fuddenly replied If God was so angry as to expel Adam Paradise for an Apple well might he who was his Vicar be offended for the Disappointment of his Peacock which was of greater value than any Apple could possibly be The same worthy Pope missing his Pork which was one of his standing Dishes for he was a great Lover of Pork and Peacock asked the Reason of it his Steward answer'd that his Physicians had given order there should be no Pork serv'd in because it was very injurious and destructive to his Health whereat he began to fly in the very face of him whose Vicar he boasts himself to be saying Porta mi quello mio Piatto al dispetto de Dio Fetch me my Pork my Dish of Meat in spight of God himself These Words savour of more than Lucianisme Paul the Third in a Procession at Romè where the Body of Christ as they term it was with great Solemnity and seeming Piety carried before him said That if the Company did not make more haste he would renounce Christ whereupon some Persons made up to them that were in the Front with all speed and caused them to mend their Pace Nay farther Pope Paul being in an open Consistory of Cardinals boldly told by one of them that he could not bestow Palma and Piacenza on his two Bastards unless he would inevitably purchase his own Damnation To this he answer'd If St. Paul the Apostle of the Gentiles had so tender an Affection for his Country-men whom he calls Brethren as to wish and desire himself to be separate from Christ so that they might obtain Salvation why may not I with as great Love and Affection to my Sons and Nephews study by all means possible to aggrandize them and make them honourable with the hazard of my own Salvation O the yearning Bowels and tender Compassion of this Holy Father to the living Monuments of his Infamy Poor cow-hearted Hugonot Where is there a Calvin Beza or Bishop among you all that dares or can show such strange and strong efforts of a noble and undaunted Spirit who for the Promotion and Welfare of his Children here dares damn his own Soul for ever hereafter Alas There 's no such Spirit among you What think you of Gregory the Seventh tho his proper name which Popes renounce at their Election was Hildebrand which signifies Fire-brand of Hell in the Tutonick Tongue as the Germans affirm and Chemnitius gives him the same Title calling him Titio Infernalis when he consulted the Oracle of his Breaden God threw it into the Fire before many Cardinals who could not withhold him because it gave him no answer as to the event of his War with the Emperour Henry the Benno Card. in the life of Hildebrand Fourth of France John Bishop of Port in a Sermon in S. Peters Church before a numerous Auditory being upon the profanation of the Blessed Sacrament said Hildebrand and we with him have done a Fact for which we Deserve to be Burnt alive meaning the forementioned Action Nay this Hostia was so Contemned and Slighted by him that he most wickedly caused Pope Victor the Second to be poisoned with the Consecrated Wine of the Holy Eucharist and yet Cardinal Bellarmine had the confidence to Justifie this Man as a Saint by Twenty seven Authors and another had the impudence to own him as a Canoniz'd Saint by two more which he throws into the Bargain to add to the former Number These are a pack of Saints of the Devils Canonizing undoubtedly What will you say of another of these Pious Arch Prelates who was the Person that caused the Emperour Henry the Seventh surnam'd of Luxemburg to be poisoned and that with the consecrated Bread given him by a Jacobine at Florence in the Eucarist And about the year 1154 his Name-sake Math.

By youngest may be understood the last converted or least knowing in the house of God But to proceed The first thing we meet with in this Parable to our purpose is in verse 12. where we find him asking for his Portion saying Father give me my Portion Psal 12. 2. 39. 25 Ecles 1. 11 Man having lived along time in darkness being acquainted with nothing but the vanities of this World coming at â—…ast through mercy to behold some glimps of the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shining in and upon his dark Joh. 9. heart is immediately set on fire of zeal after more of the knowledge of God Mark this well and his truth thinking that he is able now to eat any meat that there is nothing to be done by him but to get up to the top in knowledge of all the mysteries of the kingdom of Christ whereby in him is hindred the effecting of that work which God intended by his sending and giving of him that glimps to wit The discovering in him the filthiness and wretchedness of his own heart how continually in all its actions it opposes and runs from God and his truth loving its own darkness rather than that light which lightens every man Joh. 3. 91.

Wherefore when I came was there no Man What was the reason think ye that I so often by my word and spirit called to and within you and you made me no answer If I had been the cause of your being gone why then should I call and what was the reason there was none to answer but only your being separated by your iniquities being taken up with them you became regardless of my calls Is my hand shortned at all that I cannot redeem you know I was able to redeem you out of and from your corruptions and what is the matter now have you tryed me and found me unable now to redeem you is my hand shortned Is there any reason why you should not come to me Or have not I power to deliver what
to inform them where their strength lies that their eyes might be alwayes thitherward And now in some measure I behold the needfulness to that Joh. 5. 28. saying Paul useth to the Ephes saying Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil As if he should say you being Christians are not therefore to think you are safe that you have no enemy to fear for you being but now to have an enemy he that before was your bosome-friend Mat. 10. 23. is now become your enemie that he may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil the Devil now is become your adversary therefore now you must be a Souldier you must learn to keep watch to stand centinal and not only so but you must be armed too Mat. 26. 14. your enemy is one who is so strong as you are not able to withstand him except you be armed And 't is not any armour will serve you neither it must be armour of proof put on the whole armour of God it is not a piece of Gods armour will serve thee for thy adversary is such a cunning warrier that if then hast never so little a place left naked and unarmed he will be sure to shoot all his darts there and wound thee there therefore put on the whole armour of God Never think thou art safe till then nay you must not sleep nor ly still then neither but must when you have put it on expect to fight for we fight not c. Therefore let us not sleep for those that 1 Thes 5. 6 7 1. sleep sleep in the night c. for we are Children of the day therefore let us watch and be sober But to return The next thing in the Parable is he calls for the fatted Calf to be brought in and killed to make merry In regard this is partly included in what went before it being only an illustration of the height depth bredth and length of the love of God in Christ unbosomed and freely held forth unto the worst of sin I shall say no more of it but this That such hath been the goodness of God to me as that he hath been pleased to bring forth and bestow on me his great rich love by which notwithstanding I was fallen from and become a rebel to it was gone so far from him into such a far Country even to the very brink of Hell was dead nay twice dead dead before I was his son and dead again afterwards he recovered me brought me back raised me from this death my son was dead and is alive was lost is found notwithstanding the darkness I was in was such thick Isa 44. 21. darkness as I was lost in the midst thereof yet such was his love as there he found me and from thence brought me forth into the light and made merry with the musick of his sweet love O! I want an enlarged heart to admire it and the Tongue and Pen of Men and Angels to set it forth Lastly His eldest brother was in the field and as he came and drew nigh to the house he heard Musick and Dauncing and he called one of his Servants and asked what these things meant and he said thy brother is come and thy father hath killed the fatted calf because he had received him safe and sound And he was angery and would not go in c. 'T is not much I have experience of this last part of the parable having not as yet been entertained again by the society and people or house of God from which I went but whether the reason was because my eldest brother murmured at my Father for killing the fatted calf for me who had wasted his Estate with harlots who notwithanding he had manifected his love in Christ to me I say had given me this portion I spent it all sinned against this his mercy my eldest brother did question whether my Father had dealt justly in that he notwithstanding all this my wickedness rather then I should be lost that he might receive me safe and sound doth not spare but kill his fatted calf manifest to me vile wretch such a piece of love as he never discovered to his eldest son who had alwaies been with him kept close to all his commands and ordinances whether the reason why they rather concluded or at lest some of them I had sinned the sin against the Holy Ghost and so 't was not possible for me to be recovered by and into the love of God and so did not believe what I said but at present refused both it and me and not only so but that as ever I heard they never so much as inquired after me since though I have been shut up in prison and could not go to them whether I say it did not flow from my eldest Brother murmuring I leave to them whom it concerns to judge waiting and longing to re-injoy likewise that mercy as to have again fellowship and communion with the Saints knowing it to be the place where two or three are gathered together Mat. 18. 19 in his name that he will be in and that in the midst of them and likewise finding by sad experience that so backward Heb. 10. 24 and drousâ—e is man as he had not need let any thing be wanting that may provoke him to love and good works it being likewise that which as God commands it so he takes special notice of his people that observe so to do as we may find Mal. 3. 16. Then they that fear the Lord speak often one to another and the Lord harkned and heard it and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and thought upon his name And they shall be mine saith the Lord of hosts in that day when I gather up my jewels and I will spare them as a man spareth his only son that serveth him What doth the Lord take notice of poor wretched man that fears him that is tender of every command of his though he but stammer before him because he knows 't is his pleasure Yea he will be sought unto I the Lord take great notice he harkned and heard it and not only so but a book of remembrance was written before him such is the infinite love of God towards his poor despised people that though the world frown upon them and not think them worthy their taking notice of yet the Lord he takes such notice of them as that they cannot meet together but he will cause a Book of Remembrance to be write and that before him that so he might be sure not to go or do any thing but that he might behold them that they might be his choice ones at that day when he gathers up his jewels Doth God take such care for his poor people that when he brings forth and gathers together his rich choice mercies out of his treasury gathers
together his Jewels as he would be sure none of his people should be wanting or forgotten but before him that then he might gather up them amongst his Jewels be as careful and tender of them as a man of his son that serveth him O! who would leave such a God such a Father for the vanities of this World which to day is and to morrow is cast into the oven FINIS A true Coppy of the Letter mentioned in the Epistle which I sent to my Adversary SIR I Must confess such hath been my incomparable detestable wickedness towards you as hath most justly kindled an vnquenchable fire of fury in your breast against me vile wretch most justly causing me to feel the truth of that saying Prov. 6. 34. For jealousie is the rage of a man therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance So I must needs say most just is the Lord in bringing to open view these by my hidden works of darkness Sir I must needs out of the shame and bitterness of my unworthy heart confess that that injury done by me to you is of so notorious a nature as it is not in the least repairable by me nay if I should leave Ages as your slave and all that time do for you the worst of slavery it would not be of weight sufficient to counterpoise with that unparalel'd injury done by me to you how much less am I who have not left me except the meer mercy of some Creditors not the worth of a penny nor wherewithal to get a penny able in the least in that case to treat with you But being through mercy made to behold the greatness of my iniquity against God and injury done to you as made astonished ashamed and confounded in my self at the beholding of the riches of the love of God which Paul well said passeth understanding if it had not I had ere this been consumed and God himself gives the alone reason saying I am God and change not therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed and knowing it my duty so far as it lies in my power to satisfie all wrongs by me done to or committed against any to the utmost of my ability therefore endeavouring if possible to be at peace with all men I am imboldened to tender you the largest satisfaction that either you or any else can out of my labours above the maintaining of my poor Wife and Family whom in the first place the laws both of God and nature teach me to provide for And how much more in this case I am bound to have respect to my poor wife who with you in this case and that in an unspeakable manner hath so deeply already suffered I leave to you to judge And Sir I must humbly desire you to be pleased to consider that your keeping me in Prison doth not only make me uncapable of giving you the least satisfaction and if I alone who merited it did suffer I should be so far from having a thought of reaping any mercy from you as I should rather yield up my self a sacrifice to be consumed on the altar you will by the fire of your fury most justly by me kindled But O! when I behold other suffering for my abominations it enforceth me to cry out as secretly to God so to you now to look being an instrument in his hand scourging those for my iniquities who were not sharers in them with me though not upon me yet upon them with an eye of compassion and I beseech you lest the consideration that you destroy the just in this case with the unjust if you go on stay your hand O spare but them and command what you will of me to the utmost extremity I shall be willing not only to the utmost of what at present I am able but for ever think the utmost I can do too little in recompence of your mercy in this particular towards my poor Wife and Family much less to satisfie that injury which in vilest nature I have done you O Sir I beseech you consider God who delights in shewing mercy and doth afflict not that he might utterly destroy but that thereby he might make us the fitter to receive and prize his mercies and how honourable a thing it is to be an imitator of so heavenly a pattern in at last saving those by your mercy who else are likely to be destroyed by your fury So Sir only giving you to understand that herein I have written nothing but the plain truth and sincere desire of my heart humbly desiring you seriously to read it and upon mature consideration as between God and your own soul and if you shall please to send me an answer it will oblige him who is SIR Unworthy to be your Slave H.
