I haue named some but not all look for the rest in the book but in them all let it be obserued that there is not the least mention of faith in Christ nor once so much as the name of it nor any relation to Christ nor his holy merits No these are well if they may be vnderstood and yet these men if they be not Atheists doe knowe that all these their large promises are but winde and their Indulgences but fome and froth if there be not liuely faith and true repentance and if these bee in a man then let vs see that Pope Cardinall or other Papist who dare say that hee shal not haue full remission that neuer saw nor touched one of their blessed beades nor hallowed Graines Thus we see how farre Babylon is from being healed in this point The twelfth and last wound concerning the first Table shal be coÌ„cerning the Sacraments both which are horribly peruerted profaned by Romish doctrine and practice The twelfth wound FIrst 23 The 13. wound The popish Church baptizeth Belles Baptisme is profanely applied not to reasonable creatures onelie men and women according to the Institution e Mat. 28. 19. but euen to an vnreasonable dead creature For example they vse to baptize bels in most points so as Christians do children in som points with much more ceremony and solemnity Bellarmin is ashamed of it would willingly hide and couer it tho he cannot cure it but if hee were not a Cardinal a Iesuite he would be

wicked that neuer giue one groane for themselues Nor must we forsake them in prayer but though they seeme to vs neuer so incurable wee must still praie vvithout ceasing to GOD for them for that that is impossible to vs is possible inough with the Lord h God forbid sayth Samuel that I should cease to pray for you i 1. Sam. 12. and so must we say of all euen the greatest sinners saue onely them that sinne against the holy Ghost which no priuate man but onely the whole Church can discerne and iudge of God forbid that I should cease to pray for them Neither must we forsake them by a finall separation neuer to come at them nor to assist them any more but still we must be willing to go againe and do our endeuour if euer there be hope that they will be healed Forgiue saith Christ not seuen onely but 70. times 7. times When a sicke man is froward and impatient then the good Physition must be the patient tho he haue come oft to no purpose yet if at last he will be healed he must not forsake him so must Gods children reioice if after neuer so many repulses the wicked will be content at the last to heare and to be healed Thus wee must still loue and pittie them still pray for them and still be ready to do them good and in these three respects we must not forsake them But wee must forsake Babel First in regard of conuersation we must separate our selues from the wicked mans company and societie as far as lawfully conueniently we may after we see him obstinate and incurable it is Gods commandement Flee from the midst of Babel depart out of the land of the Chaldeans k Ierem. 50. 8. and do not this slackly and slowly like Lots wife l Gen. 19. 26 but be as the hee Gootes before the flock Secondly in regard of the meanes for after that by her often and obstinate refusall ioyned with spightfull contempt both of the meaneâ— and the men that brings them she hath shewed her selfe to be a filthy swine then pearles are no longer to bee cast before her holy things must no more bee giuen to such Dogges but they are to bee left to their vomit and mire till God shew either his mercie or iustice vpon them either in their conuersion or confusion Thus must she be forsaken and the reason why which is the second point is double First in regarde of our selues wee must forsake the wicked when they are incurable lest in steede of dooing good to them wee take hurt our selues by beeing polluted by her contagion or made partakers of her sinnes and consequently of her punishment God giueth this reason himselfe Flee out of the middest of Babel and deliuer euerie man his soule be not destroyed in her iniquitie m Ierem. 51. 6 Therfore after that a christian man perceiues there is more daÌ„ger to get hurt from them then hope to do good to them he is bound no longer to stay nay he is bound to leaue them looke to the safety of his owne soule and body Secondly in regard of the meanes vsed to heale them which because they be the holy ordinances of God pretious pearles therefore are they not to be exposed to the contempt of wicked men not to bee troden vnder the foule feete of their peruerse and scornefull spirits Both these reasons doth Christ cople together Giue not that saith he that is holy to dogs neither cast your pearles before swine least they treade them vnder their feete and turning againe all to rent you n Mat. 7. 6 Christ would neither haue his ordinances abused nor his children hurt by the wicked men Thus we see the maner how and the reasons why Now let vs see the time when Babel must be forsaken when she is incurable but not til then first long time is to be spent all meanes to be vsed all waies to be tried all patience to be practiced all wisedome to be exercised all occasions to bee taken that probably may preuaile to doe them good But if after all this they be incurable and out of hope then must we forsake themâ— but not till then not till there bee no hope at all he that forsakes Babel till then is wanting in his duetie and hath much to answere for before God For if the Physician may not forsake this vile body o Phil. 3. 21. as loÌ„g as there is any hope of life then how may any man forsake the soule that is pretious that cost so pretious bloud p 1. Pet. 1. 19 Surely the spirituall Physician must neuer forsake a Church a people or a man as long as there is any hope of curing and conuerting him Heere is condemned the practise of two sorts of men amongst vs. First such as be now tearmed of the separation formerly vsually called Brownists who forsake our Church and cut off themselues from our congregations and separate themselues to a faction and fashion or as they call it into a coâ—enant communion of their owne deuising these men haue made a grieuous rent and giuen a deepe wound into the peace of our Church they vse this place and others like against vs say Wee would haue healed you but you will not bee healed therefore we forsake you but they abuse the place therefore I will turne the point of this their weapon against themselues I meane against their errors and this their bitter and schismaticall separation To this end I would aske these men but 4. questions whereunto if they can giue me satisfaction I will be one of them First therefore whereas you say that Wee are wounded incurably and will not be healed I aske Wherein are wee deadly or incurably wounded what fundamentall wound is in our doctrine what deadly corruption is in our discipline such as eats out the heart and life being of a Church what booke of Canonicall scripture receiue we not what holde we for Canonicall that is not what sacrament that Christ ordained do we want and what haue we more then Christ ordained what article of faith deny wee or what holde we for an article of faith that is not what fundamentall heresie doth our doctrine maintaine what haue we in our Church that ouerthrowes the beeing of a Church what is necessarily required to make a Church that we do want Do not say These be many questions for if you will haue theÌ„ all in one generall I will end it as I began Wherein are wee deadly incurably wounded if I should walk a while on your owne grounds grant you that which you can neuer proue yet wil it not follow that we are incurably or deadly wounded A man may want a finger or haue some blemishes in his face and yet be a strong and perfect man sound and heart-whole and able to ouerthrow his enemies so tho there were in our Church those wounds

ashamed to cloak it with so loud a lie as he doth for saith he f Bellar. de Rom. PoÌ„t ToÌ„ 1. lib. 4. cap. 12. it is a false slander of the Heretiks we do not baptize bels neither in respect of the name nor the matter of baptism look saith he the book of the Pontificale there is no such matter only saith he we blesse them as we do Chuches Altars Crosses and other things c. Is it true then let vs follow Bellarmines aduise and look into the g Vide librum inscriptuÌ„ Pontificale RomanuÌ„ autoritate pontificia impressum Venetiis 1520. lib 2. cap. de Benedictione â—igni vel campanae Pontificale omitting the name or word let vs stand vpon the matter of Baptism Compare therefore their baptisme of a child and a Bell together and see then whether it may not be truly said they baptize Bells 1. The Childe must first bee baptized before it can be accounted one of the Church The Bel must first be blessed afore it may be hung in the steeple 2. The Childe must bee baptized by a Minister or a Priest The Bell must by a bishop or his deputie 3. For a Childes baptisme must bee vsed holy-water cream salt oyle spettle and manie such The Bells baptism or blessing must also bee in holy-water oyl salt cream tapers for light c. 4. They giue the Childe a name So doe they to the Bell. 5. The Child must haue Godfathers c. So must the Bel and they be persons of greate note 6. The Childe must bee washt in water So must the Bel and that by none but the Bishoppe and Priests 7. The Child must be crossed So must the Bell. 8. The Child must be anointed So must the Bell. 9. The Childe must bee baptized in the name of the Trinity So the Bell is washt and anointed in the name of the Trinity 10. They praie for the Childe So do they for the Bell. 11. At the Childes baptisme the Scripture is read So at the washing of the Bell more psalmes are reade then at a Childes baptism also a Gospell 12 And publick praiers madeâ— and more prayers are made and excepting saluation greater things are prayed for and more blessings on the bell then bee for a childe For better euidence heerof and because the book is not easie to come by take heere a part of the prayers they vse to that purpose Lorde graunt that wheresoeuer this holy Bell thus baptized or washed and blessed shall sound all deceits of Sathan al phantasies al daÌ„ger of whirlwindes thunders lightnings and tempests maie bee driuen away and that deuotion may increase in Christian men when they hear it O Lord saÌ„ctifie it by the holy Spirit that when it sounds in thy peoples eares their faith and deuotion may increase the diuell may be affraied and tremble and flie awaie at the sound of it O Lord poure vpon it thy heauenly blessing that the fiery darts of the Diuell may be made to flie backward at the sound thereof that it may deliuer from danger of wind thunder c. And graunt Lorde that all that come to the Church at the sound of it may be free from all temptations of the Diuel O Lord infuse into it the heauenly dewe of the holy Ghost that the diuel may alwaies flie away before the sounde of it c. Thus at Bellarmines request we haue lookt into the Popes Pontificale and let the Reader iudge what wee haue fouÌ„d he rebukes vs for laying it to their charge that they baptize bells for proof that they do not sends vs to the Pontificale But surely he thought that we could not haue seene the book els he would neuer haue referred vs thereuÌ„to for vpon sight therof it is apparant to be a more solemn baptism then that of the child is for the solemnitie is longer the Ceremonies more the praiers to greater purpose the minister of greater place then be required to a Childes baptismâ— euery thing doth so concur in it that is in baptisme that Bellarmin himselfe confesseth tho the pope doth not yet others generally do call it the baptizing of belles because they see them sprinkled with water and haue names giuen them i Bellar. tom 1. de Rom. pont lib. 4. cap. 12. Nomen Baptismâ—non a Pontificibus sed a vulgo campanarum benedictioni accoÌ„modatur c. quia videÌ„t eas aqua aspergiet eâ—s nomina imponi c. But it is not the name we stand vpoÌ„ but the matter coÌ„cerning which whereas they pray that the sound of that bel so washed sanctified as afore may driue away the diuel and all his fiery darts I would ask Bellarmine or anie of his Chaplains whether this bee spoken in iest or in earnest in formality as words of course or in faith as a holy prayer If they knowe the prayer to bee impossible not to haue any warrant but meerlie to be a State Ceremonie and done to amaze the poore people c. then it appeares they be Cozeners Atheists that make religion a pretence to all their purposes But if it be in earnest and they know it to bee a prayer of faith and haue warrant from Gods word for it then it is possible inough to driue away the diuell all his temptations out of a kingdom for so many Belles might be hallowed and washed as might hang one within the reach of anothers sound and so if the words of this prayer be true a Diuell might not stay in the realme and that Realm were very worthy to haue the Diuels companie that would not willingly bee at the cost to haue so manie bels though they were of siluer to haue them baptized though it were in costly water To conclude Bellarmine pleaseth to sport him selfe a little with vs and sayth The Heretickes obiect to vs that we baptize belles but its maruell sayth hee that they doe not also say wee catechize and instruct them that so they may sound out the Articles of Fayth But it is very likelie the Iesuite had not seene or not well perused the Pontificale for if hee had hee might haue found that they pray to GOD to giue the HOLIE GHOST to the Bell to blesse it to sanctifie it to purifie it to poure heauenlie blessings vppon it and the dewe of Gods grace Certainelie if this bee a lawfull an apt and fit prayer for the bell they may also catechise it for it is doubtlesse as capable of instruction from man as of anie spirituall and heauenly blessing from God Thus it is proued I hope that the Romish Church in some sort for the name but especially for the matter doth baptize Bells It remaines but to see 24 The twelfth wound not healed for the Romish Church still baptizeth Belles if this wound be healed or no. But I answere this was not the superstition of the olde and ignorant times onely but is euen the present impiety of that
