An admonition to the Parliament

¶An Admonition to the Parliament.

SEing that nothing in this mortal life is more di∣ligently to be sought for, & carefully to be loked vntoa than the restitution of true religion and reformation of Gods churche: it shall be your partes (dearly beloued) in this present Parliamēt assembled, as muche as in you lyeth to promote the same, and to employ your whole labour and studie, not onely in a∣bandoning al popish remnāts both in ceremonies and regiment, but also in bringing in and placing in Gods church those things only, which the Lord himselfeb in his word comm••undeth. Because it is not enoughe to take paines in taking away euil,c but also to be o∣cupied in placing good in the stead thereof. Now be∣cause many men see not al things, and thed world in this respect is maruelously blinded, it hath ••ea thou∣ght good to proferre to youre godly consyderations, a true platforme of a church reformed, to the end that it being laide before your eyes, to beholde the great vn∣likenes betwixt it & this our english churche: you may learn•• either w^t perfecte hatred to detest the ••••e, and with singular loue to embrace, and carefull endeuor to plant the other: or els to be w^tout excuse beforef the maiestie of our God, who (for y^• discharge of our con∣science, and manifestation of his truth) hath by vs re∣uealed vnto you at this present, the sinceritie and sim∣plicitie of his Gospell▪ Not that you should eitherg wilfully withstand, or vngraciously treadh the same vnder your fete, for God doth not disclose his will to any such ende, but that you should yet now a y^e length with all your mayne and might, endeuor that Ch••iste (whosei easie yoke & lyght burthen we haue of long time caste off from vs) might rule and raigne in hys church by the scepter of hys word onely.

May it therfore please your wisedomes to vnder∣stand, that we in England are so far off, from hauing a church rightly reformed, according to the prescripte of Gods woorde, that as yet we are scarse come to the outward face of the same. For to speak of that wherin the best consent, & whervpon al good wryters accord. The outward markes wherby a true christian church is knowne, are preaching of the woorde purely, mini∣string of the sacraments sincerely, and Ecclesiasticall discipline which consisteth in admonition and correc∣tion of faults seuerely. Touching the fyrst, namely the ministerie of the word, although it must be confessed that the substance of doctrine by manye deliuered, is sound and good, yet here in it faileth, that neyther the ministers therof are according to gods word proued, elected, called, or ordained: nor the functiō in such sort so narowly loked vnto, as of right it oughte, and is of necessyrie required. For whereas in the olde churche a trial was had,l both of their abilitie to instruct, and of their godly conuersation also: nowe, by the letters commendatorie of some one man, noble or other, tag & rag, learned and vnlearned, of the basestm sorte of the people (to the sclāder of the gospell in then mou∣thes of the aduersaries are freely receaued. In those daieso no idolatrous sacrificers or heathnish priests were apointed to be preachers of the Gospel: but we allow, and like wel of popish masse mongers, men for all seasons, King Henries priests, Queene Maryes priests, who of a truth (if Gods word were precisely folowed) shoulde from the same be vtterly remoued. Thenp they taught others, now they must be instru∣cted themselues, and therefore like yong children they q must learne cathechismes, and so fyrst they conse∣crate them and make them ministers, and thē they set them to scole. Then election was made by the Elders with the commonr consent of the whole church: now euery one picketh out for himselfe some notable good benefyce, he obtaineth the next aduowson, by m••ny or

by fauoure, and so thinketh himselfe to be suffyciently chosen. Then the congregations had authoritie to cal ministers: in stead therof now, they run, they ride, and by vnlawfull sute and buying, preuēt other suters also. Then not minister placed in any congregation, but by the consent of the people: now, that authoritie is giuen into the hāds of the bishop alone, who by his sole authoritie thrusreth vpon them such, as they ma∣ny times aswell for vnhonest life, as also for lacke of learning, may, and do istly dislike. Then, none admit¦ted to the ministerie, butv a place was voide before hand, to which he should be called: but nowe, bishops (to whom the right of ordering ministers dothe at no hand appertaine) do make 60. 80. or a 100. at a clap, & send them abrode into the country like masterlesse mē. Then, after iust triall and vocation they were admit∣ted to their function, by laying on of the handes of the company of thew eldership onely: Now there is (neither of these being loked vnto) required a surples, ⁂ a vestiment, a pastoral staffe, beside that ridiculus & (as they vse it to their new creatures) blasphemo••s saying, receaue the holy ghoste. Then euery pastorx had his flock, and euery flock his shepheard, or el••y shepheards: Now they do not only run fysking from place to place (a miserable disorder in Gods church) butz couetously ioyne liuing to liuing making ship∣wracke & of theyr owne consciences, & being but one shepherd (nay, wold to God they were shepherds and not wolues) haue many flockes. Then the ministers were preachers: nowe bare readers. And if any be so well disposed to preache in their owne charges, they may not without my Lordes licence. In those dayes knownea by voice, learning and doctrine: now they must be discerned from other by popish and Antichri∣stian apparel, as cap, gowne, tipper. &c. Then, as God gaue vtteranceb they preached the word only: Now they read homilies, articles, iniunctions &c. Thenc it was painfull: now gainfull.d Then pore and igno∣minious

in the eies of the world: now rich & glorious. And therfore titles, liuings, and offices by Antichrist deuised are geuen to them, as Metropolitane, archbi∣shop, Lords grace, Lord Bishop, Suffragan, Deane, Archdeacon, Prelate of the garter, Earl, Countie Pa∣latine, honor, high commissyoners, iustices of peace & quorum. &c. All which, together with their offyces, as they are strange & vnhard of in Chrystes church, nay plainlyf in gods word forbidden: So are they vtter∣ly w^t spede out of the same to be remoued. Then mini∣sters were not so t••ed to any one forme of prayers, but as the spirit (g) moued them, and as necessitie of time required, so they might poure forth harty supplicatiōs to the Lord. Now they are bound of necessytie to ah prescript order of seruice, and boke of common prayer in which a great number of things contrary to Gods word are contained, as baptismi by women priuate k Communions, Ierrishl purifyings, obseruingm of Holydaies, &c. potched (if not all together, yet the greatest peece) out of the Popes portius. Thenn fe∣ding the flocke diligently: nowe teaching quarterly. Then preachingo inseason and out of season: Now once in a moneth is thoughte of some suffycient, if twice, it is iudged a worke of supererogation. Then nothing taught but Gods word, Now Princes plea∣sures, mennes deuices, popishe ceremonies, and Anti∣christian rites in publike pulpits desended. Then they p sought them, Now they seeke theyrs.

☞ These, and a great many other abuses are in the ministerie remayning, which vniesse they be remoued and the truth brought in, not onely Gods iustice shall be powred forth, but also Gods church in this realme shall neuer be builded. For if they which seeme to be workemen, are no workemen in deede, but in name, or els wor•• not so diligently & in such order as the works me from commaundeth, it is not onely vnlikely that the building shall go forwarde, but altogether impossible that euer it shalbe perfyred. The way therfore to avoid

these inconueniences, and to reform these deformities is this: Your wisedomes haue to remoue aduousons, patronages, impropriations, and bishops authoritie, claiming to themselues therby right to ordayne mini∣sters, & to bryng in y^• old and true election, which was accustomed to beq made by the congregation. You must displace those ignorant and vnable ministers al∣ready placed, & in theyr rowmes appoint such as both can and will by Gods assystauce feede the flock. You must plucke down & vtterly ouerthrow wythout hope of restitution,r the court of faculties, from whence not only licences to enioy many benefyces, are obtained, as Pluralities, Trialities, Totquote &c. but all things for the most part, as in the court of Rome are sette on sale, licences to marry, to eat flesh in tymes prohibited to lye from benefyces & chargrs, and a greate number besyde, of such lyke abhon••••••ations. Appoint to euery congregation a learned & diligent preacher. Remoue homylies, articles, iniunctions, & that prescripte order of seruice made out of the masse boke. Take away the Lordshyp, the loytering, the pompe, the idlenesse, and liuings of bishops, but yet employ thē to such ends as they were in the old church appoynted for. Let a law∣ful and a godly seignorie loke y^• they preach, not quar∣terly or monthly, but contynually, not for fylthy luker sake, but of a ready mynde. So God shalbe gloryfyed, your conscyences discharged, and the flocke of Chryst (purchaseds wyth hys owne bloud) edyfyed.

Now to the second poynt, whych concerneth myny∣stratyon of Sacraments. In the olde tyme, the worde wast preached, before they were minystred: nowe it is supposed to be suffycyent, if it be red. Then, they were minystred in publikev assemblies, now in pri∣uate houses. Thenw by ministers only, now by mid∣wiues, and Deacons equally. But because in treating of both the sacraments together, we should deale con∣fusedly: we wyll therefore speake of them seuerallye.

And fyrst for the Lordes supper, or holy communion.

They had no introite, for Celestinus a pope brought it in, aboute the yeare. 430. But we haue borrowed a peece of one out of y^e masse booke. They read no frag∣ments of the Epistle & Gospell: we vse both.☞ The Nicene Crede was not red in theyr Communion: we haue it in oures. There was then, accustomed to be an examination of the communicants, which now is neg∣lected. Then they ministred the sacrament with com∣mon a and usual bread: now w^t wafer cakes, brought in by Pope Alexander, being in forme, fashyon and substance, like theyr god of the altare. They receiued it c sitting: we kneeling, according to H••norius De∣cree. Then it was deliuered generally, & in definitely, Take yee and eat ye: we perticulerly, and syngulerly, Take thou, and eate thou. They vsed no other wordes but such as Christe lefte: We borrowe from papistes, The body of our Lorde Iesus Chryst which was ge∣uen for thee. &c. They had no Gloria in exceists, in the ministrerie of the Sacrament then, for it was putf to afterward. We haue now. They toke it w^t conscience. We with 〈◊〉〈◊〉. They shut men by reason of theyr g sinnes, from the Lords Supper. We thrust them in theyr sinne to the Lordes Supper. They ministred the Sacrament plainely. We pompously, w^t singing, piping, surplesse and cepe wo••••ing. They simply as theyh receiued it from the Lord. We sinfully, mixed with mannes inuentions and deuises. And as for bap¦tisme, it was enough with them, if theyi had wa••er, and the party to be baptised, faith, and the minister to preach the word, and minister the sacraments.

Nowe, we must haue surplesses deuised by Pope Adaien, interrogatories ministred to the infante, holy sorts inuented by Pope Pi••s, crossyng and suche like pee••es of Poperie, which the churche of God in the Apostles times neuer knew (and therfore not to be v∣sed) nay (which we are sure of) were and are mannes deuises, brought in long after the puritie of the prima¦tiue

church. To redresse these, youre wisedomes haue to remoue (as before) ignorant ministers, to take away priuate communions and baptismes, to enioyne Dea∣cons and Midwiues not to meddle in ministers mat∣ters, if they do, to see them sharply punished To ioyne assystance of Elders, and other offycers, that seeing men will not examine themselues, they may be exami∣ned, and brought ton render a reason of theyr hope. That the statute againste waffer cakes may more pre∣uaile then an Iniunction. That people be apointed to receaue the Sacrament, rather ••••tting, for auoiding of superstition, than kneeling, hauing in it the outwarde shewe of euil, fromo which we must abstaine. That Exco••••••••cation he restored to his olde former force. That papists nor other, neither constrainedly nor cu∣s••••••ably, communicate in the misteries of saluation. That both the Sacrament of the Lordes supper and Baptisme also, may be ministred according to the an∣cient puritie & simplicitie. That the parties to be bap∣tised, if they be of the yearesp of discretion, by them selues & in theyr owne persons, or if they be infantes, by their parentes (in whose rowme if vpon necessarye occas••ons and businesses they be absent, some of the congregation knowing the good behauior and sounde faith of the parents) may both make rehearsal of their faith, And also if their faith be sound, and agreable to holy scriptures, desire to be in the same baptised. And finally, that nothing be don in this or any other thing, but that which you haue the expresse warrant of gods worde for.

Let vs come now to the third parte, which concer∣neth ecclesiastical discipline. The officers that haue to deale in this charge, are chiefly three, ministers, prea∣chers, or pastors of whom before. Seniors or elders, and Deacons. Concerning Seniors, not onely theyr office but their name also is out of this english church vtterly remoued. Theyr offyce was toq gouerne the church with the rest of the ministers, to consult, to ad∣monyshe,

to correct, and to order all thyngs appertay∣nyng to the state of the cōgregatyon. In frede of these Segnyors inr euery church, the pope hath brought in and we yet mayntayne, the Lordshyp of one men o∣uer many churches, yea ouer sondry Shyeres. These Seygnyors then, dyd execute theyr offyces in theyr owne persones wythout substytutes. Oure Lord By∣shoppes haue theyr vnder offycers, as Suffraganes, Chancelors, Archdeacons, Offycyals, Commissaries, and such lyke. Touchyng Deacōs, though theyr names be remainyng, yet is the offyce sowly peruerted and turned vpsyde downe, for theyr duty in the primatiue church, was tos gather the almes dilygently, and to dystrybute it faythfully, also for the sycke and impo∣tent persones to prouyde paynefully, hauyng euer a dylygent care, that the charitie of godly men, were not wasted vpon l••ytererst and idle vagabonds. Now it is the fyrst step to the ministerie, nay, rather a mere order of priesthede. For theyv may baptise in the presence of a bishop or priest, or in theyr absence (if ne¦cessity so requyre) minister the other Sacrament, like∣wise read the holy Scriptures and Homilies in the congregation, i••struce the youthe in the Cathechisme, and also preache, if he be commaunded by the bishop. Againe, in the olde churche, eueryew congregation had theyr Deacons. Now they are ••yed to Cathedrall churches onely, and what doe they there? gather the almes and distribute to the pore: nay, that is the least peece or rather no parte of theyr function. What then? to sing a gospell when the Bishoppe minystreth the Communion. If thys be not a peruerting of thys of∣fyce and charge, let euery one iudge. And yet least the reformers of our time should seeme vtterly to take out of Gods Churche thys necessarye function, they ap∣pointe somewhat to it concernyng the poore, and that is, to searche for the sicke, needy, and impotent people of the parish, and to intimate theyr estates, names, and places where they dwell to the Curate, that by hys ex∣hortation

they may be relieued by the parishe, or other conuenient almes. And this as you see, is the nighest parte of his offyce, and yet you must vnderstand it to be in suche places where there is a Curate and a Dea∣con: euery parish can not be at that cost to haue bothe, nay, no parishe so farre as can be gathered, at this pre∣sent hath. Now then, if you will restore the church to his ancient offycers, this you must do. In stead of an Archbishop or Lord bishop, you must makex equa∣litie of ministers. In freade of Chancelors, Archdea∣cons, Offycialles, Commissaries, Proctors, Summo∣ners, church wardens, and such like: You haue to pl••t in euery congregation a lawfull and godly seignorie. The Deaconsh••py must not be confounded with the ministerie, nor the Collectors for the poore, maye not vsur••e the Deacons offyce: But he that hath anz of∣fyce, muste lo••ke to his offyce, and euery man muste kepe himselfe within the bounds and limmites of his owne vocation. And to these three ••oyntly, that is, the Ministers, Seniors, and deacons, is the whole regi∣ment of the churche to be committed. This regiment consisteth especially in eccles••••stical discipline, which is an order left by God vnto his church, wherby men learne to frame their willes and doings according to the law of God, 〈…〉〈…〉 instructing & admonishing one another, yea and by correcting and punishing all wil∣full persones, and con••••••s of the same. Of this discipline there is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 kindes, one priuate, wherewith we will not 〈◊〉〈◊〉 because it is impertinent to our pur∣pose, an other publique, which although it hathe bene long banished, yet if it might nowe at the length be re∣stored, would be very necessary and profytable for the building vp of Gods house. The final end of this dis∣cipline, is the reframing of the disordered, & to bring them to repentāce, and ••o bridle such as wold offend. The cheefest parte and laste punishment of this disci∣pline is excommunication, by the consent of the church determined, if the offender be obstinate, which howe

miserably it hath ben by the Popes proctours, and is by our new Canonists abused, who seeth not? In the primatiue church it was inb many mennes handes: now one alone excōmunicateth. In those days it was the last censure of the church, and neuer wēt forth but forc notorious crimes: Now it is pronounced for e∣uery light trifie. Then excommunication was greatlye regarded and feared. Now because it is a mony mat∣ter, no whit at all esteemed. Then ford great sinnes, seuere punishment, and for smal offences, censures ac∣cording. Now great sinnes either not at all punished, ase blasphemyf vs••••y, drunkennesse. &c, or else sleightly passed ouer with pricking in a blāket, or pin∣ning in a sheet, asg adultery, whoredom, &c. Againe, suche as are no sinnes (as if a man conforme not him∣self to popish orders and ceremonies, if he come not at the wh••stle of him, who hathe by Gods worde no au∣thoritie to call, we meane Chancelors, Offycials, and all that r••••le) are greeuously punished, not only by ex∣communication, suspention, depriuation and other (as the•• terme if) spiritual coertion, but also by banishing, imprisoning, reuilings, taunting, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 what not? Then the sentence was tempered accordingh to the noto∣riousnesse of the facte. Now on the one side either ha∣tred against some persones, caryeth men headlong in∣to rashe and cruell iudgement: or else fauoure, affecti∣on, or money, mitigateth the rigoure of the same, and al this cometh to passe, because the regiment lefte of Chrysti to his churche, is cōmitted into one mannes h••eeds, whome alone it shall be more easie for the wic∣ked by bribing to peruert, than to ouerthrow the faith and pietie of zealous and godly company, for suche manner of men in deedek should the Seigniors be. Then it was said telll the church: now it is spoken, complaine to my Lords grace, primate & Metropoli∣tane of al England, or to his inferioure, my Lord Bi∣shop of the diocesse, if not to him, shew the Chancelor or Offyciall, or Commissarie. Againe, whereas the ex∣communicate

were neuer receaued till they hadm publikely cōfessed their offence. Now for paying the fees of the courte, they shall by maister Offyciall, or Chancelour, easely be absolued in some priuate place. Then the congregation, by the wickednes of the offen¦dour grieued, was by his publique penance satisfied. Now absolution shall be pronounced, though that be not accomplished. Then the partie offending shoulde in his owne person, heare the sentence of Absolution pronounced. Now, Bishops, Archdeacons, Chance∣lors, Offycials, Commissaries and suche like, absolue one man for another. And this is that order of ecclesi∣astical discipline which all godly wish to be restored, to the end y^• euery one by the same, may be kept wyth∣in the limmits of hisn vocation, and a great number be brought to line in godly conuersation. Not that we meane to take away the authoritie of the ciuillo Magistrate and chefe gouernoure, to whom we wish all vlessednes, and for the encrease of whose godlines we daylyp pray: but that Chryste being restored in∣to his kingdome, to rule in the same by the scepter of his word, & seuere discipline: the Prince may be better obeyed, the realme more florishe in godlinesse, and the Lord himself more sincerely & purely according to his reuealed will serued, then heeretofore he hath bene, or yet at this present is. Amend therfore these horrible a∣buses, and reforme Gods church, and theq Lord is on your right hand, you shall not be remoued foreuer. For he wil deliuer and defend you from all your ene∣mies, either at home or abrode, as he did faithfull Ia∣cob r & goods Iehosaphat. Let these things alone, and God is a righteous iudge, he wil one day cal you to your reckening. Is a reformation good for France? and can it be euill for Englande? Is discipline meete for Scotland? and is it vnprofytable for this realme? Surely God hath set these examples before your eies to encourage you to go forward to a thorow & a spedy reformation. You may not do as heretofore you haue

done, patch and peece, nay rather goe backeward, and neuer labor or (t) contend to perfection. But altogether remoue whole Antichriste, bothe head and tayle, and perfectly plant that puritie of the word, that simplici∣tie of the sacraments, and seueritie of discipline, which Chryste hathe commaunded, and commended to hys churche. And heere to ende, we desire all to suppose that we haue not attempted thys enterprise for vaine∣glory, gayne, preferment, or any other worldly respect: neither yet indgyng our selues, so exactly to haue sette out y^• state of a church reformed, as that nothing more coulde be added, or a more perfecte forme and order drawne: for that were greate presumption, to arregate so muche vnto oure selues, seeing that as we are but weake and simple soules, so God hath raised vp men of profounde iudgement and notable learning. But thereby to declare oure good willes towardes the set∣ting forth of Gods glory, and the buylding vp of hys church, accoumptyng thys as it were, but an entrance into further matter, hopyng that our God, who hathe in vs begon thys good woorke, will nor onely in tyme heereafter makers strong and able to goe forwarde therin: but also moue other, vpon whome he hathe be∣stowed greater measure of hys gyftes and graces, to labor more thorowly and fully in the same.

The God of all glory so open youre eyes to see hys truth, that you may not onely be inflamed with a loue thereof, but wyth a continuall care seeke to promote, plāt, and place the same amongst vs, that we the En∣lish people, and oure posteritie, enioying the sinceritie of Gods gospel for euer, may say alwayes: The Lord be praysed. To whome with Chryst Iesus his sonne our onely sauiour, & the Holy ghost our alone comfortor, be honor, praise, and glory, for euer and euer. Amen.
