And
I
heard
another
voice
from
Heaven
,
saying
,
Come
out
of
her
,
my
People
,
that
yee
be
not
partakers
of
her
sins
,
and
that
yee
receive
not
of
her
plagues
.
AMongst
other
properties
of
GOD
,
whereby
He
describeth
himselfe
to
Moses
,
Exod
.
34.
He
is
said
to
be
long
suffering
:
But
though
he
be
a
patient
and
long
suffering
GOD
,
yet
hee
is
not
an
Ever-suffering
GOD.
Long
hath
the
Lord
suffered
the
whoredomes
and
abominations
of
that
mystick
Babylon
Rome
,
but
hee
is
not
ever
to
suffer
them
,
for
hee
hath
begun
to
poure
out
the
vials
of
his
wrath
,
in
that
the
fall
of
Rome
is
begun
,
and
shee
shall
continue
in
falling
more
and
more
,
untill
the
time
the
Lord
hath
totally
and
finally
destroyed
her
.
But
it
is
usuall
with
GOD
,
before
he
execute
his
judgements
upon
any
citie
,
nation
,
or
place
,
where
his
own
chosen
people
dwell
,
to
provide
first
for
the
safetie
and
securitie
of
his
owne
,
before
ever
hee
poure
out
his
fierce
wrath
and
indignation
upon
his
enemies
.
GOD
when
hee
was
to
destroy
the
World
,
Come
out
of
Babilon
,
least
being
partakers
of
her
sins
,
they
should
receive
of
her
plagu●s
.
In
this
Divine
Oracle
Wee
have
a
commandement
given
from
Heaven
,
and
reasons
for
inforceing
obedience
to
this
commandement
:
In
the
commandement
there
bee
these
three
observable
;
First
,
The
authoritie
of
the
commandement
,
which
is
Divine
,
to
wit
,
A
voice
from
Heaven
.
Next
,
the
persons
to
whom
this
commandement
is
given
,
to
wit
,
GODS
owne
people
.
Third
,
the
commandement
it selfe
,
that
they
come
out
of
Babell
:
The
reasons
follow
,
least
being
partakers
of
her
sins
,
they
receive
of
her
plagues
.
By
the
authoritie
of
this
commandement
(
being
Divine
,
come
out
of
Babell
.
If
it
bee
objected
that
Christ
Jesus
did
not
make
a
separation
from
the
corrupt
Jewish
kirk
.
I
answere
,
That
the
outward
service
in
the
Jewish
kirk
then
was
free
of
Idolatrie
,
and
might
bee
haunted
therefore
with
a
safe
conscience
:
But
the
service
of
the
Romane
kirk
became
so
idolatrous
,
that
they
were
necessitate
to
forsake
her
,
come
out
of
Babell
,
least
being
partakers
of
her
sins
,
they
receive
also
of
her
plagues
.
The
persons
to
whom
this
commandement
is
given
,
Come
out
my
people
(
saith
the
voice
from
Heaven
)
&c.
They
are
Gods
people
by
free
grace
,
singled
out
of
the
corrupt
masse
of
Adam
,
predestinate
through
Christ
unto
life
everlasting
;
against
whom
the
powers
of
Hell
can
never
prevaile
:
The
infallible
consequent
heereof
is
,
that
they
cannot
totally
nor
finally
fall
away
from
grace
▪
for
the
love
of
God
the
Father
which
continueth
to
the
end
,
Babell
,
that
they
bee
not
partakers
of
her
sins
,
and
receive
of
her
plagues
.
This
Babylon
out
of
which
they
are
commanded
to
come
,
Didymus
de
Spiritu
sancto
,
hath
these
words
,
Cùm
in
Babylon
versarer
,
purpuratae
meretricis
colonus
,
&
jure
Quiritum
viverem
,
placuit
garrire
allquid
de
Spiritu
sancto
;
that
is
,
when
I
was
in
Babylon
,
being
a
servant
and
a
tenant
of
the
scarlet
whoore
,
&c.
And
more
clearly
to
Marcella
,
in
the
name
of
Paula
and
Eustochium
,
hee
inviteth
her
to
come
out
of
Rome
,
being
that
Apocalyptick
Babylon
;
whereby
it
is
clear
what
Hierome
did
esteeme
of
Rome
:
And
in
the
preceeding
chapter
,
the
whore
is
said
to
sit
cloathed
in
purple
,
dyeed
with
the
bloud
of
the
Saints
,
with
a
golden
cup
,
full
of
fornications
in
her
hand
,
having
in
her
fore-head
A
mysterie
Babilon
.
Rome
therefore
is
that
mystick
Babylon
,
the
citie
situat
upon
seven
hilles
,
which
did
reigne
over
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
Earth
at
that
time
:
And
it
is
observable
,
that
the
Popes
ordinarie
vesture
is
Scarlet
,
and
in
the
frontispice
of
his
Mitre
(
as
Joseph
Scaliger
witnesseth
in
his
notes
on
the
New
Testament
)
is
written
Mysterie
:
which
he
learned
by
the
report
of
Lord
Montmorency
,
who
was
certified
thereof
in
his
being
at
Rome
.
Moreover
the
same
Scaliger
sayeth
there
,
that
the
Masse
in
all
languages
hath
the
name
of
Mysterie
,
which
(
I
doubt
not
)
is
by
Divine
providence
,
for
it
is
full
of
mysteries
in
all
the
parts
,
gestures
,
actions
,
and
rites
thereof
,
in
so
far
,
that
for
their
exposition
,
they
require
a
voluminous
treatise
,
as
Durandus
Rationale
,
and
idle
pennes
of
others
imployed
upon
that
superstitious
subject
doe
testifie
:
Yea
,
there
is
no
part
of
their
white
garments
,
that
wanteth
its
mysterie
,
wherefore
the
better
reformed
churches
have
rejected
them
,
for
their
forged
operation
,
and
popish
mysticall
signification
;
The
scarlet
,
the
golden
cup
,
the
mysterie
,
the
imperiall
citie
,
situat
on
seven
hilles
,
do
evidence
,
what
that
mystick
Babilon
Rome
is
,
and
the
pope
who
resides
there
.
In
this
book
of
Divine
Revelation
,
Rome
is
branded
with
three
titles
and
names
,
of
Egypt
,
Sodome
,
and
Babilon
.
It
is
called
Egypt
in
the
XI
.
Chapter
,
because
it
oppresseth
the
people
of
God
,
Petrus
Damianus
leaving
Rome
,
and
betaking
him
to
the
wildernesse
,
in
detestation
of
this
Sodomiticall
villanie
,
published
a
book
,
intituled
by
him
Gomorraeus
,
which
he
did
dedicat
to
Leo
the
ninth
.
Cardinal
Baronius
in
his
Annales
clearly
confesseth
the
same
.
And
the
Archbishop
de
la
Casa
,
was
not
ashamed
to
present
to
the
view
of
the
world
a
treatise
,
Venice
:
O
Coelum
!
ad
haec
non
sadas
?
O
terra
!
non
dehiscis
?
O
Heavens
!
doe
yee
not
blush
?
O
Earth
!
doest
thou
not
open
thy
mouth
,
and
swallow
such
vile
and
grievous
sinners
?
But
,
O
LORD
,
great
is
thy
patience
,
which
the
impenitent
abusing
,
do
treasure
up
to
themselves
wrath
against
the
day
of
wrath
.
Thirdly
,
Rome
is
called
Babilon
,
which
signifieth
confusion
(
for
the
confusion
of
tongues
at
the
building
of
Babell
)
because
in
Rome
,
mystick
Babilon
,
there
is
a
confusion
of
secular
and
ecclesiasti●k
governement
distinguished
and
divided
by
GOD
himselfe
,
in
the
persons
of
Moses
and
Aaron
,
and
from
thence
(
as
is
evident
)
in
the
reigne
of
Jehosaphat
,
come
out
of
Babell
.
To
come
out
of
Babylon
is
not
only
to
come
out
with
the
feet
of
our
body
,
Publick
opponents
to
the
Romish
errours
;
Private
opponents
,
and
a
third
who
were
neither
publick
nor
private
opponents
:
Publick
opponents
I
might
name
many
,
but
I
will
content
mee
with
some
most
remarkable
:
When
the
Gregorean
Liturgie
was
obtruded
to
the
Christian
Kirk
in
these
Westerne
parts
,
these
of
Millan
did
oppose
the
same
;
being
better
pleased
with
the
Liturgie
of
Ambrose
:
these
of
Spaine
did
the
same
;
What
opposition
was
made
against
single
life
of
Church-men
in
Germanie
,
England
,
and
many
other
places
,
it
is
notore
to
all
that
are
not
strangers
in
historie
.
When
images
were
received
in
the
Kirk
,
with
a
relative
worship
,
about
the
seven
hundred
year
of
GOD
,
the
German●
and
French
bishops
did
resist
the
same
;
and
a
Councel
was
holden
by
Charles
the
great
,
Scotus
,
Erigena
,
Rabanus
,
and
after
these
Beringarius
,
till
Pope
Innocentius
the
third
,
with
his
prevailing
faction
,
in
the
1215.
year
of
GOD
did
determine
,
that
monstrous
errour
of
Transubstantiation
.
A
litle
before
this
time
,
Valla
,
Erasmu●
,
Beatus
Renanus
,
with
many
others
,
though
they
lived
in
the
societie
of
the
Romane
Kirk
,
did
condemne
many
errours
and
abuses
therein
.
Besides
these
publick
Opponents
,
there
were
many
thousand
private
Opponents
,
who
were
as
these
seven
thousand
in
the
Church
of
Israel
,
who
bowed
not
their
knees
to
Baal
,
but
if
not
openly
,
yet
secretly
did
oppose
the
same
;
as
Nicodemus
lived
amongst
the
Pharisees
,
and
Joseph
of
Arimathea
amongst
the
Counsellours
who
condemned
Christ
:
and
these
who
had
not
defiled
themselves
,
but
followed
the
Lamb
,
mentioned
,
Revel.
14.
4.
There
were
thirdly
many
,
whose
eyes
GOD
did
illighten
in
the
article
of
death
,
who
not
finding
any
comfort
in
the
intercession
of
Saints
,
and
doctrine
of
merits
;
and
therefore
leaving
these
impure
cisternes
,
had
their
recourse
to
the
living
fountaines
of
waters
,
which
did
spring
out
of
the
intercession
and
merits
of
Christ
,
to
the
eternall
refreshment
of
their
souls
.
a
false
and
corrupt
Church
,
how
shee
could
bring
furth
Orthodoxe
and
true
professors
.
I
answer
,
An
adulterous
woman
may
bring
surth
Children
to
her
Husband
and
to
her
Paramours
,
as
is
evident
.
Hos.

Pleade
with
thy
mother
(
saith
the
LORD
)
That
shee
put
away
her
whoordomes
from
betwixt
her
breasts
,
&c.
Here
sons
of
GOD
,
and
yet
their
mother
is
an
adulteresse
:
Sons
of
GOD
they
are
,
because
they
plead
for
GOD
against
their
mother
for
her
adulteries
.
So
an
adulterous
Kirk
may
beget
children
to
GOD
,
as
also
a
false
and
corrupt
church
may
beget
true
professors
.
As
the
Jewish
Church
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
,
for
the
leaven
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
did
infect
the
same
,
Disciples
to
beware
of
that
leaven
,
and
yet
to
obey
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
as
they
sate
in
the
chai●e
of
Moses
.
By
their
leaven
Pharisees
did
poyson
the
soules
of
many
to
their
destruction
,
and
sitting
in
the
chaire
of
Moses
,
teaching
the
Law
of
Moses
,
and
not
their
owne
inventions
,
did
beget
children
to
GOD.
After
this
manner
the
voice
of
Christ
,
and
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
sounding
in
the
church
of
Rome
,
thereby
children
was
begotten
to
Christ
▪
and
the
Antichrist
.
Thevoice
of
Christ
was
heard
in
holy
Scriptures
written
for
our
consolation
,
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
is
heard
in
his
traditions
:
The
voice
of
Christ
is
heard
in
the
administration
of
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
,
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
in
the
administration
of
his
five
bastard
sacraments
:
The
voice
of
Christ
is
heard
in
the
saving
doctrine
of
his
merite
and
righteousnesse
,
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
is
heard
in
the
doctrine
of
the
merite
and
righteousnesse
of
man
:
The
voice
of
Christ
is
heard
in
the
blood
of
Christ
,
that
speaketh
better
things
then
the
blood
of
Abel
,
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
in
the
forged
satisfactorie
blood
of
Martyres
.
If
it
be
demanded
,
how
in
the
Romane
church
the
voice
of
Christ
was
known
and
distinguished
from
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
;
I
answere
,
That
Gods
children
have
a
discretive
judgement
given
unto
them
,
whereby
they
know
the
voice
of
Christ
from
the
voice
of
the
Antichrist
.
My
sheep
hear
my
voice
(
sayeth
Jesus
Christ
)
and
they
follow
me
.
And
this
should
not
seeme
strange
,
for
if
the
lambe
amongst
the
bleeting
of
ten
thousand
sheep
can
discerne
the
voice
of
her
mother
,
much
more
the
lambs
of
Christ
Jesus
can
discerne
the
voice
of
their
Father
and
Sheepheard
Christ
Jesus
.
And
since
GOD
hath
given
by
a
naturall
instinct
unto
the
beasts
,
by
smell
and
taste
to
discerne
what
hearhes
are
wholesome
and
convenient
for
their
food
,
and
what
noysome
;
shall
wee
not
think
,
that
GOD
much
more
will
enable
(
by
his
grace
and
Spirit
)
his
owne
children
,
bought
with
no
lesse
price
then
the
blood
of
his
Son
,
to
discerne
what
is
hurtfull
,
what
conduceable
for
their
salvation
.
Neither
will
it
follow
by
any
necessare
inference
,
that
the
Romane
kirk
is
a
true
Kirk
,
because
by
it
children
are
begotten
to
God
,
seeing
this
falleth
out
not
properly
,
but
accidentally
,
for
Papacie
tendeth
not
to
beget
children
to
Christ
,
but
to
Antichrist
.
Therefore
obey
this
voice
from
Heaven
,
and
come
out
of
Babylon
.
The
reasons
to
move
us
to
come
out
of
Babylon
here
mentioned
,
her
sinnes
,
and
her
plagues
for
her
sins
.
Sins
and
plagues
are
copulative
,
Who
so
sinneth
shall
bee
plagued
;
Therefore
if
we
partake
of
her
sins
,
we
shall
partake
of
her
plagues
.
If
it
be
asked
what
be
these
her
sins
,
I
answere
,
what
sins
do
not
reigne
in
her
?
But
passing
the
generall
,
I
will
mention
five
sins
in
speciall
,
for
the
which
Babylon
shall
bee
plagued
and
destroyed
,
viz.
Pride
,
Crueltie
,
Deceit
,
Idolatrie
,
Heresie
.
Such
is
her
pride
,
that
although
there
be
besides
her
the
Kirkes
of
Grece
,
Syria
,
Africa
,
and
Ethiopia
,
which
disclaime
her
power
as
Antichristian
,
yet
shee
arrogantly
usurpeth
the
title
of
the
Catholick
church
,
as
proper
and
due
only
to
her
,
when
in
effect
shee
is
neither
the
Catholick
Kirk
,
nor
a
sound
member
of
the
same
.
Pride
also
in
a
high
degree
possesseth
all
her
Cleargie
:
The
meanest
Priest
is
stiled
as
a
Knight
,
and
the
meanest
Nunne
as
a
Ladie
of
Honour
:
Bishops
and
Archbishops
are
as
Lords
and
Princes
,
and
Cardinals
above
Princes
,
and
the
Man
of
sin
the
Pope
their
head
exalteth
himselfe
not
only
above
Kings
and
Emperours
,
Thomas
Becket
a
Traitour
:
So
also
the
Earle
of
Tulloes
,
French
King
Henrie
the
fourth
,
was
whipped
by
a
Deputie
Cardinal
Perron
,
Frederick
Barbarosso
was
forced
to
lay
down
his
neck
,
upon
the
staires
of
the
Kirk
of
Saint
Marke
in
Venice
to
be
trode
upon
by
that
proud
Man
of
sin
;
and
his
son
after
the
Pope
had
crowned
him
,
was
uncrowned
,
the
Pope
kicking
off
his
crown
with
his
foot
,
signifying
thereby
that
it
was
in
his
power
to
King
and
unking
,
to
crown
and
uncrown
at
his
pleasure
.
The
book
called
the
Book
of
〈◊〉
onies
teacheth
us
,
what
are
the
base
and
servile
dueties
to
be
performed
by
Kings
and
Emperors
to
the
Pope
,
that
they
should
inact
the
part
of
footgroomes
,
in
leading
his
bridle
,
of
supporters
,
in
holding
his
stirrop
,
and
mounting
him
upon
his
horse
;
of
pyoners
in
bearing
him
upon
their
shoulders
;
and
pages
in
holding
water
to
his
hands
.
Neither
doth
he
exalt
himself
above
Kings
and
Emperours
only
,
but
above
the
Angels
,
commanding
them
to
transport
soules
out
of
Purgatory
.
Yea
his
pride
is
more
then
Luciferian
and
Divellish
;
for
the
Divell
when
he
made
an
offer
of
all
the
Kingdomes
of
the
World
to
Christ
,
he
acknowledged
that
hee
had
received
them
of
GOD
to
give
to
whom
he
pleased
,
and
in
so
doing
would
seeme
to
submit
himself
to
GOD
:
But
the
Pope
extolleth
himself
above
GOD
,
for
he
dispenseth
with
the
Lawes
of
GOD
;
and
to
dispense
with
Lawes
is
a
note
and
marke
of
Superioritie
,
for
no
inferiour
may
dispense
with
the
Lawes
of
a
superiour
,
but
a
superiour
may
dispense
with
the
lawes
of
an
inferiour
.
This
way
dispensing
with
the
lawes
of
God
,
hee
doeth
lift
himselfe
up
above
God
:
Yea
more
then
this
,
hee
is
daring
to
repeale
the
lawes
of
God
,
tolerating
,
and
allowing
incestuous
marriage
,
condemned
in
the
Word
of

also
lying
perjuries

and
equivocations

murthering

&c.
Joine
unto
this
pride
their
crueltie
;
for
the
Kirk
of

may
say
,
that
from

have

O

These
former
three
vices
,
Pride
,
Crueltie
and
Craft
,
have
ever
been
esteemed
to
be
badges
and
marks
of
a
false
and
corrupt
religion
.
The
Pharisees
for
crueltie
are
called
by
Christ
murtherers
,
for
craft
serpents
;
for
pride
,
to
walk
in
long
robes
,
to
covet
the
first
salutations
in
markets
,
and
first
seat
at
tables
.
Of
these
three
pride
is
not
the
least
and
demonstrative
of
a
false
worship
,
because
that
where
it
is
,
God
is
robbed
of
his
glory
.
arrogancie
.

Monk
sent
from

,
to
induce

to
the
obedience
of

Romane
church
,
not
daining
himself
to
rise
,
being
saluted
,
For
his
pride
was
esteemed
of
the
beholders
not
to
be
sent
of
God
.
Optatus
Milevitan●●s
,
a
learned
and
godly
Bishop
,
brandeth
with
pride
Donatus
that
archschismatick
,
that
he
was
not
so
much
called
Donat
bishop
of
Carthage
,
as
(
out
of
pride
)
Donat
of
Carthage
,
that
is
(
stylo
novo
)
lord
of
Carthage
.
With
this
leaven
of
pride
the
doctrine
of
the
Romane
church
is
heeven
up
,
by
their
merit
of
condignitie
,
works
of
supererogation
,
possibilitie
of
fulfilling
the
Law
,
with
perfection
of
Faith
,
and
hope
in
this
life
.
Notwithstanding
these
three
former
,
are
only
outward
characters
,
bewraying
a
counterfeit
religion
;
but
idolatrie
and
heresie
are
deadly
diseases
,
destroying
the
soul
,
and
life
of
Gods
true
worship●
with
both
these
the
Romish
kirk
is
deeply
infected
.
Her
idolatrie
is
visible
to
all
whose
eyes
are
not
blinded
:
GOD
the
Father
in
the
similitude
of
an
old
man
,
GOD
the
Son
in
the
similitude
of
a
lamb
,
GOD
the
holy
Ghost
,
in
the
similitude
of
a
dove
;
And
in
so
doeing
they
are
no
better
,
but
rather
worse
than
the
idolatrous
Gentiles
,
who
(
as
the
Apostle
sayeth
)
did
transforme
the
glory
of
the
incorruptible
GOD
,
into
the
similitude
of
corruptible
things
,
as
of
beasts
,
foules
,
and
creeping
things
;
wherefore
the
Lord
gave
them
up
to
unnaturall
lusts
;
and
finally
,
to
a
reprobate
minde
:
And
it
is
just
with
GOD
so
to
do
with
the
Romane
church
,
being
guiltie
of
the
like
idolatrie
.

What
greater
worship
would
they
give
to
God
then
this
?
Do
they
not
also
honour
with
divine
worship
the
blessed
Virgine
?

,
trust
in
the
Ladie
:
And
in
his
35.
Psalme
are
these
words
,
Incline
the
countenance
of

upon

,
and
compell
him
to
have

Sutable
unto
this
is

where
this
is
one
of
his
orations
that
is

be
said
;
O

and

most
kinde
Ladie

by
the
authoritie
of

,
command
thy

that
hee
would
vou●hafe

from
the
love

all

,
unto

O
blasphemous
speaches
!
But
whose
speaches
are
these
?
Are
they
not
the
speaches
of
their
doctor
exalted
by
them
,
to
the
Seraphick
order
of
angels
,
a
place
not
fit
for
an
idolater
?
In
adoring
the
Pope
their
head
they
are
no
lesse
transcendent
idolaters
,
in
acknowledging
his
power
,
not
only
to
dispense
with
the
law
of
God
,
but
also
to
repeale
the
same
;
as
likewise
,
in
ascribing
the
finall
and
last
resolution
of
their
faith
to
his
determination
.
What
bee
their
idolatrous
absolute
subjection
to
the
Pope
,
who
so
like
to
know

2.
chap.
where
he
averreth
impudently
,
That
the
Pope
ought
to
bee
heard
with
obedience
,
whether
hee
erre
or
erre
not
.
And
not
only
impudently
,
but
blasphemously
hee
affirmeth
in
the
fifth
chapter
of
the
same
book
towards
the
end
,
that
if
the
Pope
did
erre
,
commanding
vice
,
forbidding
vertue
,
the
Church
should
be
bound
to
believe
vice
to
bee
good
,
and
vertue
to
bee
evill
,
except
shee
would
sinne
against
conscience
.
Likewise
in
offering
incense
to
the
Saincts
in
generall
,
sweareing
by
them
,
praying
,
and
vowing
to
them
,
(
which
are
partes
of
Divine
worshippe
)
Doe
they
not
commit
vile
idolatrie
?
And
in
worshipping
of
images
(
forbidden
so
clearlie
and
frequently
in
Gods
word
)
whether
it
be
with
relative
,
terminative
,
or
conterminative
worship
,
in
all
these
they
prove
idolaters
.
Further
,
their
Idolatrie
doth
manifest
it self
in
worshipping
Saint
Christopher
,
the
three
imaginarie
Kings
at
Culen
,
and
others
who
never
had
life
,
breath
nor
being
,
as
their
Saint
Longinus
,
whom
ignorance
hath
canonized
,
transforming
the
speare
that
pierced
Christs
side
,
called
in
Greek
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
into
Longin●●s
a
religious
Latine
Saint
.
What
credit
is
there
to
be
given
to
their
forged
reliquies
,
let
any
man
judge
,
when
the
heads
and
bodies
of
Saints
,
parcels
of
the
crosse
,
nailes
,
and
speares
that
pierced
Christ
,
have
exceeded
,
and
daylie
do
exceed
their
just
number
and
quantitie
.
Neither
are
they
inferiour
in
idolatrie
to
the
prophane
Gentiles
,
who
were
aliens
from
the
common-wealth
of
Israel
,
without
GOD
,
without
hope
:
for
as
they
had
tutelarie
Gods
for
the
protection
of
nations
,
cities
,
places
,
and
Gods
for
averting
of
evils
,
and
curing
of
diseases
,
as
also
for
conferring
all
manner
of
benefites
:
So
also
in
the
Romane
church
they
have
their
tutelarie
saints
for
nations
,
cities
,
places
;
for
curing
of
diverse
diseases
,
and
conferring
of
benefites
.
Finally
as
the
Samaritans
did
worship
that
which
they
knew
not
,
and
the
Athenians
,
did
erect
an
altar
to
the
unknowne
GOD
;
so
also
in
the
sacrament
of
the
Lords
body
they
worship
and
know
not
what
they
worship
,
whether
bread
or
the
body
of
the
LORD
,
for
seeing
the
change
of
the
body
of
Christ
dependeth
upon
the
Priests
intention
(
as
they
affirme
)
and
they
being
uncertaine
of
his
intention
,
do
worship
and
know
not
what
they
worship
,
whether
bread
or
the
body
of
Christ
.
To
conclude
,
one
of
their
cheif
schoolemen
Vazquez
confesseth
,
that
they
may
worship
lawfully
upon
ignorance
,
the
divel
,
lurking
under
the
crucifixe
.
Therefore
that
we
be
not
partakers
of
her
spirituall
whoordomes
,
and
idolatries
,
and
thereby
receive
of
her
plagues
,
let
us
come
out
of
Babylon
?
As
to
the
fift
and
last
sin
moving
God
to
powre
out
the
vials
of
his
wrath
upon
Rome
,
is
her
corrupt
doctrines
and
heresies
:
for
shee
is
loaden
not
with
one
heresie
only
but
heaps
of
heresies
.
For
clearing
of
this
,
heresie
is
to
be
considered
materially
and
formally
:
A
materiall
heresie
is
an
erronious
doctrine●
opposing
,
and
everting
the
saving
grounds
of
religion
.
A
formall
heresie
,
when
a
doctine
everting
the
saving
grounds
of
Truth
,
is
maintained
with
obstinacie
.
Materiall
errours
was
received
into
the
Church
of
Corinth
,
when
the
doctrine
of
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
was
called
in
question
:
The
like
befell
the
churches
of
Galatia
when
circumcision
and
the
works
of
the
law
was
thought
necessare
supplements
to
Faith
to
make
up
our
justification
before
.
GOD
:
Yet
because
these
foresaid
errours
was
not
defended
with
obstinacie
,
the
maintainers
were
not
formally
hereticks
.
But
in
the
Romane
church
doctrines
everting
Ground
trueths
are
defended
with
obstinacie
,
and
the
opponents
persecuted
with
fire
and
sword
;
wherefore
shee
is
justlie
charged
with
heresies
,
the
Scripture
is
unsufficient
for
salvation
,
and
is
but
a
partiall
rule
of
our
Faith
,
seeing
according
to
the
Divine
Apostle
Paul
,
It
is
able
to
make
us
wise
to
salvation
,
and
perfect
to
every
good
work
.
given
by
divine
inspiration
.
upon
Gods
Word
,
but
upon
the
church
,
when
we
have
done
all
we
can
,
we
are
unprofitable
servants
,
these
momentanie
asslictions
are
not
worthie
of
that
infinit
weight
of
glory
,
layed
〈◊〉
for
us
in
Heaven
:
And
seing
the
righteousnesse
of
the
most
just
,
David
,
Esay
,
and
others
,
can
not
stand
before
God
,
it
is
an
hereticall
doctrine
,
and
preiudiciall
to
salvation
,
to
place
our
justification
before
God
in
our
owne
maimed
inherent
righteousnesse
.
It
is
a
Divine
trueth
,
there
is
no
name
under
Heaven
to
be
saved
,
but
by
the
name
of
Christ
.
Contrare
to
this
is
that
heretick
doctrine
of
the
Romane
church
,
that
the
merits
,
intercession
,
and
bloud
of
Saints
and
Martyres
,
are
mixed
,
as
satisfactorie
for
our
redemption
,
with
the
bloud
,
merit
,
and
intercession
of
Christ
.
The
Scripture
telleth
us
,
that
man
in
his
creation
was
made
according
to
the
image
of
God
,
perfect
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
:
to
thinke
a
good
thought
;
We
are
dead
in
sinnes
and
trespasses
by
nature
;
and
if
worse
can
be
yet
,
our
hearts
are
said
to
be
meer
stones
:
all
the
imaginations
of
our
heart
are
altogether
set
upon
evill
,
without
the
holy
Spirit
,
we
cannot
say
so
much
as
the
Lord
Jesus
.
Who
hath
separate
thee
,
what
hast
thou
,
that
thou
hast
not
received
.
A
likewise
,
It
is
not
the
runner
,
nor
the
witter
,
but
God
that
showeth
mercie
.
Lastly
,
the
Romanists
prove
hereticall
,
in
the
cooperation
of
mans
will
with
grace
,
giving
unto
it
not
only
a
proper
working
by
it self
,
but
also
the
first
place
,
setting
God
beside
the
coushen
in
the
second
roome
;
which
hath
a
flat
opposition
to
the
Apostles
words
,
I
dare
not
(
faith
he
)
speak
of
any
thing
which
Christ
hath
not
worught
by
mee
,
to
make
the
Gentiles
obedient
in
word
and
deed
:
As
also
,
that
every
good
gift
,
and
perfect
donation
is
from
above
,
and
cometh
down
from
the
Father
of
lights
.

Minucius

neither

?
Where

were
condemned

they

a

they
had

enjoyed
in
the
Christian
church

for

As
is
manifest
out
of

as

it

It

it

and
the

The
Scribes
and

leavened
the
word
of
God
with
their
traditions

inventions

But
the
originall
of
these
errours
who
can
tell
?
Laicks
were
deprived
of
the
cup
at
the
communion
,
which
is
a
breach
of
Christs
institution
:
The
private
and
solitare
communion
of
the
Priest
,
without
the
people
,
used
daylie
in
the
Romane

is
contrare

,

of

and
Canons
of

:
and
who
knoweth
the

thereof
?
The
communion
was

use
of
reason
,
and
was
universally
received
and
approven
in
the
dayes
of
Cyprian
and
Augustine

and
who
knoweth
the
originall
of
the

The
custome
of
the
church
of
old
was
first
to
enjoine
repentance
,
and
after
the
performance
of
it
to
give
absolution
:
But
now
in
a
preposterous
order
absolution
is
first
keeped
,
then
penance
imposed
to
be
performed
afterward
:
The
beginning
of
this
change
who
can
tell
?
There
was
hereticks
named
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
because
the
source
and
fountaine
from
whence
this
heresie
did
spring
,
was
unknowne
.
Shall
we
say
that
a
man
sick
of
a
consumption
,
is
not
diseased
because
we
know
not
when
his
disease
began
?
The
masse
of
errours
wherewith
the
Romane
Church
is
loadened
,
is
called
a
Mysterie
of
iniquitie
,
because
as
a
mysterie
is
dark
,
they
came
in
d●rkly
;
And
the
good
seed
being
sowen
,
the
ill
One
is
said
to
have
sowen
cockle
and
darnell
in
the
night
.
Now
as
darnell
and
cockle
while
they
are
in
the
blade
,
can
hardly
,
be
discerned
from
wheat
but
in
the
fruit
they
are
discerned
of
all
:
so
the
errours
of
the
Romane
Church
,
came
in
so
ma●ked
and
disguised
,
that
they
were
not
perceived
,
but
when
they
came
to
the
fruit
and
maturity
,
then
were
they
sensible
to
all
that
had
eyes
to
see
.
For
clearing
of
this
it
is
to
be
observed
,
Minucius
Felix
,
who
lived
in
the
300
year
of
God
,
witnesseth
,
that
Christians
in
his
time
had
no
altars
nor
images
:
And
though
Tertullian
,
who
lived
about
that
same
time
in
the
Latine
Church
,
mentioneth
an
altar
,
yet
it
is
to
be
understood
,
that
there
was
then
no
sacrifice
of
the
body
of
Christ
,
seeing
the
same
author
against
Marcion
calleth
the
bread
a
figure
or
representative
signe
of
the
body
of
Christ
;
and
that
kneeling
at
the
altar
,
recorded
by
him
in
his
book
,
intituled
,
Of
Repentance
,
importeth
no
ordinare
bowing
to
the
altar
,
but
the
humble
gesture
of
a
penitent
,
which
was
performed
sometimes
at
the
entrie
of
the
church
without
,
and
sometimes
within
.
With
altars
there
came
in
sacrifices
,
first
representative
,
and
commemorative
,
then
subjective
by
faith
and
prayer
;
then
propitiatorie
;
and
at
last
,
the
offering
of
Christ
,
under
the
naked
speces
of
bread
and
wine
.
The
Canonick
Scriptures
dyted
by
Divine
inspiration
,
were
first
only
read
in
the
church
,
as
is
evident
out
of
Justine
Martyres
apologie
,
Nice
,
Lateran
;
these
of
Constans
,
Florencs
,
&c.
Besides
this
,
thirdly
,
It
may
seeme
strange
,
that
the
Romane
religion
being
contrare
to
grace
,
by
the
presumptuous
merite
of
man
;
to
scourge
his
body
,
kill
his
King
,
and
eat
his
God
:
being
(
I
say
)
such
a
religion
,
it
may
appear
strange
and
admirable
▪
that
men
of
great
learning
and
understanding
,
Thould
be
addicted
and
devoted
thereto
.
But
there
be
five
reasons
why
it
so
falleth
out
:
they
should
not
heare
,
and
seing
they
should
not
see
:
To
this
judgement
the
Romane
church
,
by
their
vaine
inventions
and
traditions
,
have
made
them selves
lyable
.
For
〈◊〉
therefore
,
that
we
be
not
carried
with
the
Current
of
errour
to
destruction
,
it
is
expedient
,
we
beware
of
these
fix
rocks

God
also
hath
wounded
her
by
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
first
in
raising
up
the
Valdenses
against
her
,
of
whom
Frier
Reinerius
who
wrote
against
them
,
thus
reporteth
,
saying
,
That
they
were
of
all
the
most
pernicious
s●ct
;
for
Antiquitie
,
some
holding
they
were
from
the
Apostles
time
:
for
generality
,
there
scarce
being
any
nation
where
they
are
not
;
And
tastly
,
for
shew
of
piety
,
in
that
they
live
justly
before
men
,
and
believe
all
things
touching
GOD
aright
,
and
all
the
articles
of
the
Creed
,
only
they
blaspheme
,
and
hate
the
church
of
Rome
.
By
these
Vaidenss
the
Romane
beast
gote
so
deep
a
wound
,
that
though
by
all
meanes
they
laboured
to
cure
the
same
,
yet
shall
it
not
bee
cured
,
but
waxeth
more
and
more
incurable
;
for
the
publick
and
open
reformation
begun
by
them
,
did
not
so
wound
that
Beast
,
as
the
reformation
by
Wickleph

did
more

clearly
espie
,

more
sharply
refure
the
Mysterie
of
iniquitie

mysterie
of
iniquitie
rose
by
degrees
,
so
doeth
it
fall

Neither
doth
the
article
'
O
help
their
cause
,
as
if
the
Antichrist
were
one
singular
man
,
seing
it
is
usuall
in
Scripture
under
one
to
comprehend
many
.
The
woman
in
the
Revelation
,
cloathed
with
the
Sun
,
having
the
Moone
under
her
feet
,
Peters
Patrimonie
;
their
Pole-money
collected
sometimes
out
of
England
,
Peters
pence
;
And
their
Plen●tude
of
jurisdiction
,
they
claime
over
the
whole
church
Peters
keyes
;
and
that
one
rocke
in
a
popish
glosse
,
upon
which
they
will
have
the
church
to
be
built
,
is
a
lawfull
succession
of
the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
which
they
affirme
to
have
descended
from
Peter
,
the
blessed
Apostle
,
notwithstanding
they
be
as
far
different
from
Peter
in
a
doctrinall
succession
(
which
is
the
only
true
succession
)
as
Cajaphas
that
condemned
Christ
was
from
holy
Aaron
,
first
high
Priest
of
the
Jewish
nation
.
It
may
be
haplie
objected
,
that
many
Bishops
of
Rome
were
godly
,
and
suffered
martyredome
for
the
Christian
faith
:
I
answere
,
that
it
is
the
antichrist
and
the
antichristian
Kingdome
,
and
not
every
person
in
that
line
that
is
appointed
for
destruction
:
for
what
is
recorded
of
Victor
,
Lee
the
first
,
and
others
,
who
being
tickled
with
the
itch
of
ambition
,
aspired
to
a
supremacie
over
the
church
,
doth
not
argue
them
to
be
reprobates
,
but
men
compassed
with
infirmities
,
Who
were
building
Babylon
,
not
knowing
that
they
were
building
Babylon
;
even
as
faithfull
Gideon
▪
when
he
was
making
his
Ephod
of
the
ear-ring
given
him
of
the
spoile
of
the
Midianites
was
erecting
a
monument
of
idolatrie
to
the
destruction
of
his
house
,
and
knew
not
he
was
so
doing
:
So
the
Bishops
in
affecting
Soveraignitie

were
ignorantly
promoving
the
antichristian

God
appointeth

Babylon
and
Sion
;
and
whosoever
doe
attempt
any
reconciliation
with
Rome
,
are
factors
for
the
Man
of
Sinne
,
and
Panders
for
the
whoore
of
Babylon
,
to
bring
us
back
to
her
breasts
,
and
bosome
againe
.
We
of
this
nation
are
greatly
obliedged
to
God
,
who
as
he
hath
given
to
us
,
to
be
ever
free
and
unconquered
to
this
day
,
so
did
he
honourus
with
the
first
Christian
Kings
;
for
that
which
is
reported
of
Lucius
(
with
nevernce
of
the
Authors
)
seemeth
fabulos
,
that
a
tributarie
.
Kings
living
under
persecuting
Emperours
,
durst
publickly
avow
the
Christian
faith
,
and
more
also
to
be
so
daring
as
to
change
the
twentie
five
chief
Pagan
Priesthoods
of
South
Britinie
,
and
three
Archpreisthoods
,
(
London
then
being
on
of
the
three
)
into
twentie
five
bishopricks
,
and
three
archbishopriocks
;
which
had
beene
more
then
to
disclaime
any
subjection
to
the
Romane
Empire
:
I
say
therefore
that
as
God
honoured
this
nation
with
the
first
Christian
kings
,
Abbas
Clunicensis
ad
Bernardum
)
so
also
in
the
latter
dayes
with
the
most
pure
and
perfect
Reformation
,
that
we
did
not
only
concure
with
other
reformed
Churches
to
burne
the
flesh
of
the
whoore
;
but
to
hate
her
spotted
garments
.
Our
duety
therefore
is
to
be
thankfull
to
God
for
his
great
mercie
,
and
not
to
looke
backe
againe
to
Babel
,
and
when
any
is
coming
out
of
Babel
(
as
to
Day
this
straying
Sheep
now
returneth
to
Christs
sheepfold
)
to
rejoice
,
as
that
Sheepheard
,
when
the
lost
sheep
was
brought
home
;
and
as
the
Father
at
the
returning
of
his
prodigall
son
,
and
as
the
Angels
of
Heven
rejoice
at
the
Conversion
of
sinners
;
so
let
Us
this
Day
rejoice
at
the
conversion
of
this
sinner
,
and
therefore
rendering
glorie
unto
God
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
We
close
this
present
Exhortation
,
giving
place
unto
this
Convert
,
by
his
publick
confession
,
in
all
your
presence
to
glorifie
GOD
,
who
hath
brought
him
out
of
Babylon
to
Sion
,
where
I
pray
God
he
may
continue
,
till
he
see
the
Lord
in
that
heavely
Sion
,
and
enjoy
Him
,
in
whose
presence
is
the
fulnesse
of
joy
for
ever
and
ever
;
Amen
.
