MOUNTAGU.

SO I say still, I know none. I doe be∣leeve there are, and ever were, Evangeli∣call Counsailes; such as S. PAUL mentio∣neth

Page 215

in his Consilium autem do; such as our SAVIOUR pointed at and directed unto in his Qui potest capere capiat; such as a man may do or not do, without guilt of sinne, or breach of Law: but nothing lesse than such as the Papists fabricke up unto themselves in their works of Supererogation. It is an error in Di∣vinitie, not to put a difference betwixt such works, and workes done upon counsell and ad∣vice. If any man, not knowing or not con∣sidering the state of the question, hath other∣wise written, or preached, or taught, what is that to me, or the Doctrine of the Church of England? His ignorance, or fancie, or misun∣derstanding, or misapplying, is not the Doc∣trine of Antiquity, which with universall con∣sent held Evangelicall Counsailes; nor of our Church, in which our GAMALIEL hath told us; Quis nescit fieri à nobis multa liberè, & quae à DEO non sunt imperata voveri & reddi? These Promoters knew it not. B. MORTON in his Appeale saith (if he doe not say true, in∣forme against him for it) that we allow the distinction of PRECEPTS and COUNCELS, lib. V. cap. IV. sect. 3. For his sake excuse mee from Popery, who write no more than he did before me: what in GOD'S indulgence is a matter of Counsell; in regard of strict justice, may come under Precept. Cap. IV. Sect. V.
