The Conclusion of the Cure, not vn∣worthy the Consideration.

When Strife for Lut, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 take for 〈◊〉〈◊〉: When praise for 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 we locke for Catchng: And when from ••••••••s we s••••ll to Feasts and bibbing, Then [Abbaes Streame] stayes in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 bbing. Our Aduocate craues it to flow againe, The Father yeeldes, and o to eury Veine Their Streame flowes faire, vntill our changling Foles Haue sought to other Streames from muddy Pooles; The Trinity then loathing Braines so sicke, Thir Motion stop; and Men dye Lunoticke. From which Reapse, Distrust, and Heresie, GOD keepe vs all as from Apostasie.

[Abbaes Streams.]

Abba Father the Voyce of the Spirit in the hearts of Gods Adopted and Regenerated chil∣dren, acknowledging their Election from the Father, out of the corrupted Lumpe of Man∣kind, and out of the vnrefined Oare or vnpuri∣fied Mettle of pretended Christianity, of meere Grace without any Deserts of theirs at all; and consequently their Iustification by the Sonne, through Faith, and the spirituall apprehension of his onely merites: Their sanctification by the Holy Ghost, who proceeding from both their Wills, is content to breath Regeneration, and New life, into our barren wills; and to moy∣sten them with the Streame of liuing Waters,

vnlesse they compell Him with his Heauenly Gifts to retire, by relying on other Physitians, burthensome Traditions, and vnnecessary pud∣dled streames, which Simoniackes, or rather Dmoniackes, doe trucke and vtter for money, vnder the Title of Holy Water, Indulgences, and sanctified Wares, like-charmed soowles, or Amulets, to preserue men from Cerbirus, and Purgatories Bugs, thereby making Mar∣chandize of the Bodies and Soules of Men; as is Prophesied in the Revelation: which Auarice of theirs is flat contrary to the examples of the Apostles, and the Gospell, where St. Peter told the Creeple in Salomons Porch: Gold and Sluer haue I none; And to Simon Magus, Thy money pe∣rish with thee.

[Apostacy] signifies a Reuolting or falling off from the true Religion, to the Doctrine of Diuels. To discerne the true Catholike Church, search the Scriptures: How shee fared in this World after the Ascension of our Sauiour, ad the Histories of the Church, and you shall finde her commonly perscuted, and subiect to crosses, and Fiery Tryalls, euen to this our Age. First, by the Iewes. Secondly, by the Romane Emperours. Thirdly, by the Ar∣rians. Fourthly, by the Gothes and Vandales.

And lastly, by the cunning and more dange∣rous practises of the Romish Prelates, for their aduancement to the double Supremacy. How this Church being once the Mother of the West, grew to be Apostate, it is to be supposed, that Sathan tooke hold of the darknesse of Mens consciences, presently after the erupions of those bloody Northerne Nations, about 500. or 600. yeares after Christ, his principall stings and more palpable violences being some∣what restrayned, and bound by the Angel, not to employ them against the Elect so Tyran∣nically, and openly, as hee vsed to doe before the limitted and sealed 1000. yeares, of his Mysticall restaint. About which time, or within a while after, and for the like ambiti∣ous ends, hee seduced Mahomet in the East; So that Faith departed according to St. Paul, from the Temple of GOD, the true Visible Church then consisting but of few Families, and shadowed vnder the Woman, with her man childe in the Reuelation, Fled into the Wilder∣nesse, for feare of the Dragon. And Gods two Witnesses were Massacred in the streetes of spi∣rituall Sodome and Egypt, and their carcasses there left vnbuied; as was Prophesied by St. Iohn. Amidst these abhominations and deso∣lations, it pleased God to stirre vp the Spirits

of sundry Good men, to awake them out of their dreames: As St. Bernard, to inuaigh a∣gainst their Princely Pompe, and Supremacy; Berengari••••, agaynst Transubstanciation; and the Waldenses and Albigeois against most of their Idolatries: The last of which beganne a∣boue 300. yeares before Luther was borne. How the true Church was dealt with in Af∣fricke, Aethiopia, Georgia, and in the East, by reason of their remotenesse we know not so di∣stinctly. But it is very probable, that the old Dragon was not Idle, but did his vtmost en∣deauour to ouer-whelme the poore distressed Saints, as it were, with a Flood of impieties through all the World. But thus was she vsed in our Westerne Parts, vntill of late yeares by the Resurrection of those two Mysticall Wit∣nesses, and the imprinting of the Bible in the Mother Tongue, which in a manner lay moath∣caten in the Sodomites Libraries, after the Preaching of Wicliffe, about the yeare 1380. and afterwards of Husse, Luther, Cali, and after the Martyrdome of many excellent men, shee found at last some rest in this Iland, and o∣ther places, in despight of the Herods, Aabs, and Hamans of the times. One maine difference I obserue betwixt these two repugnant Chur∣ches, how the one resembles Abel and Iacob

for their mildnesse and patience: And th' other Came and Esau for their mallice and cruelty: which their bloody Inquisitious, Tortures, Massa∣cres, with the transcendent Powder-plot do appa∣rantly testifie. The one maintaines her cause peaceably by the Gospell of Christ; the other by Worldly Traditions, and Mens authority: And when these serue not, with Fire and Sword they force their Opposites to acknowledge the Popes Supremacy, being but the marke of Am∣bition, and therein going beyond the Turkes, who to his Mufty or Maomet, compelles no mans Conscience; a though in all other mat∣ters belonging to a Christian, one Scholasticall Question excepted (which might be left to the Beholders and Beleeuers discetion for the Forme and wonderfull manner, as is the Know∣ledge of the personall Trinity) they cannot deny any Article Faith, which the Protestant holds. Whereby it appeares, that the Church continu∣ed not long a Uirgin after the Apostles times, ac∣cording to the ancient saying of Eusebius: Ec∣clesia post Apostolorum tempora non mansit d•••• Virgo: And that the Mysticall Where with her Scrlet-coloured Beast of the seauen hilled Ctity, the great Citty, which bare dominion ouer all the World, was certainly meant by Rome: To which the chiefe Fathers of the Primitiue Church doe consent: Lactatius lib. 7. Horonim. in Daniel. Augustin. lib. 20. de Cuitate Dei. cap. 19. And

St. Chrisostome •••• opere imperfect. in Matth. most plainely writes, that Antichrist was to haue •••• shew all that, which the true Church hath indeed, viz. Baptisme, the Communion, Bishops, &c. Therefore let such, as haue once tasted of the fruites of the Gospell, beware of Apostasie and back-sliding. For as St. Augustine in the a∣fore-sayd Booke, cap. 8. vnto a doubt, Whether any One shall turne to God, during the Raigne of Antichrist: He thus answeares: The Diueli shal haue a continuall fight with those that are in the Fa••••h already, of whom hee may perhaps Conquer some certayne number, but none of Gods Predestinated, no, not one; Since it is not in vaine wha St. Iohn the Author of the Revelation sayth, in one of his Epistles, con∣cerning Apostataes: They went out from vs, but they were not of vs, for of they had bin of vs, they would haue continue a with vs. To confirme our wauering and luke-warme Christians, I aduise them to ponder with an indifferent iudgment, these ensuing verses, which for a conciusiue mo∣nitory to my Newlanders Cure, I here subscribe ou of my Cambrens. Caroleia.

Can idiore Fides lusir b•••• lamne Mndum, &c, Our Christian Faith•••• in'd in the rime, When Men••••u'd neee th Apostles time. But afterwards Eclipsd of Light, She lay rti'd from most Mens sight. Returned nw She lends her Rayes To Brittaine, where as yet shee stayes.
