Gods decree Revel 18.2 and that with a double Fall then 't is both unreasonable and unseasonable for any Reconcilers to lend their Shoulders for supporting that which God will have to fall who hath resisted his Will Rom 9.19 Rome shall fall certò citò penitùs certainly speedily utterly Their own Jesuits Ribera and Corn. a Lapide confess it Yea Cotton the Jesuit acknowledges 't is now falling for he saith the Popes Authority is incomparably less than it was and that how their Catholick Church is but a diminutive and Bellarmine saith also that ever since the Pope hath been called Antichrist the Church of Rome hath been losing ground as before Yea 't is evident what a cold Sweat lyes upon the Limbs of the Beast from the growing greatness of the Protestant Religion Roma diu titubans variis erroribus acta Corruit et Mundi desinit esse Caput And had those Reconcilers the Shoulders of Sampson they cannot shore up this falling Temple of Dagon 12. To those Scripture Arguments I might add many more had I room for it As the tenth Argument Those Reconciling Modelators would set up a Linsey Woolsey Religion and would sow Gods Field with Miscelane or mingled Seeds Levit. 19.19 and would teach to swear by God and Malcham Zeph. 1.5 The eleventh Argument That which ought to be rejected and Renounced ought not to be Reconciled to but Popery ought to be so because of its Heresie Tit. 3.10 2 ep John v. 10. Leprosie in the Head made the Leper utterly Vnclean and to be thrust out of the Camp Levit. 13.43 44 45. Yet those Reconcilers would not have such Lepers to live alone they dare adventure among them or meet them the half way The twelfth Argument if such as have only a Form of Godliness but deny the power of it must according to Gods Command be turned from 2 Tim. 3.5 then they ought not to be turned to by way of Reconciliation but the Romish Church hath only a Form c. The thirteenth Argument If H●●red be the Affection that is due to the Romish Church then 't is not Reconciling Love but the Antecedent is true Revel 17.16 They shall hate the Whore The fourteenth Argument If we must beware the Leaven see Dr. Humphrey of this Leaven his Conclusion ut supra of the Pharisees Luke 12.1 then we may not embrace it c. To all these Scripture Arguments some Reasons may be adjoyned As 1. If she be Incurable no Reconcilers can mend her and she is so as Infallible so she calls her self and says she cannot err Peter should not have said I perceive now c. Act 10.34 Should she yield up one pin of her Opinion to the Reconcilers she loses her Pillar of Infallibility 2. She is Irreconciliable to her self such discord 'twixt Thomists and Scotists c. so that their own Binnius who was employed to take it up saith the foundation of their Faith was shaken thereby then less Reconciliable to those Reconcilers 3. Religion is a brittle thing 't will break saith Dr. Preston not bend it cannot be Accommodated to those Reconcilers Dr. Prest Pillar and Ground p. 16.4 All Protestants protest against it so not to Reconcile to it 5. Who dare take this Beast this horned Beast into his Bosom 6. So long as the Pope hath Paul's Sword as well as Peter's Keys he scorns it 7. He will not write in black but in Blood as Draco did concluding all his Arguments in Barbara and Ferio or Blood-letting THE CONCLUSION THus I have drawn a summary Representation of the seven cursed Characters of the Romish Religion that as by the Print of Hercules Foot was guessed the Stature of his whole Body so by this scantling Landskip or Compendium all sober Minds may judge whether this be a Religion safely to be embraced by any true Englishman that truly desires to be holy here and to be happy hereafter seeing it is a Religion which is 1. Superstitious and who will can or dare forsake the Substance for a mere Shadow He that makes a Bridge of the shadow of a Tree shall be sure to fall down into the Deep 2. 'T is Idolatrous and who may can or dare own its Dunghil Deities which provoke the Great and Terrible God to the highest Jealonsie against Man as the second Commandment which the Romish Catechism leaves out as none of the Ten plainly declareth 3. 'T is a Bloody Religion The Romanists would eat up Gods people as Bread Psal 14.3 and they would tear in pieces as if there were none to deliver Psal 50.22 But blessed be the Lord God of Mercy when those wicked ones our Enemies came upon us to eat up our Flesh they stumbled and fell Psal 27.2 Had those bloody Romanists any power over our Bodies they would send away our Souls in Chariots of Fire Their own Bannes speaks plainly saying English Papists are excused for not Rebelling only because they have not sufficient strength God Almighty grant they may ever want it Cursed is their wrath for it is Cruel c. Gen. 49.7 Every true lover of the Land of his Nativity should hate this Religion as Rebellion it self the very Collect for Gunpowder Treason day calls that Religion no better than Rebellion Yea 't is a Religion that is not only cruel to others that oppose it but also to themselves that profess it putting them upon Whippings Scourgings and self-Macerations like to those Priests of Baal who cut and slashed their own Flesh 1 Kin. 18.28 How may can or dare any good man love this Religion 4. 'T is Desperate and Damnable its whole Doctrine is a Doctrine of Desperation and can never afford any solid comfort to any Sin-sick Soul because it sends them to Hepher and Arpad Rivers of Damascus or Babylon to wit unto their Pennances and Pilgrimages it sends Souls from Christ to Works from Scripture which they do scornfully call Ink and Paper-Divinity unto Tradition c. Thus Popery which is but a foppery altogether walks like the unclean Spirit wherewith she is possessed Matth. 12.44 in dry places and is not only cruel to the Body as before but 't is no less to the Soul by its leaving it always in doubt and despair Oh! who may can or dare love this Desperate Religion which is Damnable as well as desperate Though some may be saved in the Popish Church yet none can be so by the Popish Faith Purus-putus Papist a non potest salvari saith Dr. Willet And 't is universally affirmed that a learned English Apostate Papist cannot be saved 5. 'T is a Novel Mushroom Religion that springeth out of the Earth Bevel 13.11 like a Mushroom or Toadstool called by the Poets 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Earth born gradually and by little and little from Phoca's time ascending out of the Earth from small beginnings not descending down from Heaven ab initio It was not so from the beginning Matth. 19.8 Porphury indeed calleth Toadstools Deorum
