Elizabeth Rones SHORT ANSWER TO ELLINOR JAMES's LONG PREAMBLE , OR VINDICATION OF THE NEW TEST , &c. THe Book call'd Mistress James's Vindication , Doth seem to me but her great Indignation Against the Romans , and Dissenters too : She for the Church of England makes adoe , Calling her Christs Spouse , yet she 's mistaken , Christs Spouse is she that is by Her forsaken : In every form the Innocent are his , They 'r such as truly give him Kiss for Kiss . The New Church and Calvins are alike , When they get up , they do their Brethren strike ; They both are Persecutors , and I find , Such silly Formalists are very blind To things of God ; for none of them can tell What is in Truth , either in Heaven or Hell ; Or God , or Devil , they all court the Letter , And yet I see their evil doth them fetter , They would have Liberty , but cannot love Their Neigbour as themselves , but still do move , That they may have Dominion over others ; That is the Daughters trick , and eke the Mothers Though at each other they do chide and baul , No Barrel the better Herring amongst them all . Our Gracious King doth keep the Peace , And yet their wrath and mallice does not cease . Leave of debate , and learn to live in Love , Then you will know what is the God above , And eke his Son , whom you do seem to Honour , Yet never come to fight under his Banner ; Against the evil Nature in your selves , And so you run upon the sands and shelves ; Of vain contention , and vain jangling , for I see you all the ways of Truth abhor . You saw that Conscience is no perfect guide , And therein I do find that you backslide ; For that doth never guide us to do evil , He that denies the Truth , he is a Devil . You like Goliah think to run me down ; But I have little David ( though you frown ) Can smite you with his stone , that is the truth , Though you have been a Warriour from your Youth : I matter not your Spear , nor yet your Shield , I know the power I have shall make you yield ; With your own Sword I make no doubt to tame ye , Though your proud Doctors at your Church do blame me . I plead for Truth , and for true innocence , That keeps the Conscience void of all offence To God or Man , that loves you every one , And would have all build on the Corner Stone ; The Rock of Ages , and not harm each other , But have respect to Charity our Mother ; And do your duty also to your King , That you may come and ALLELUJAH'S Sing .
