The English concord in ansvver to Becane's English iarre: together with a reply to Becan's Examen of the English Concord. By Richard Harris, Dr. in Diuinitie.

Becan: Exam.

By the way of a lie and calumnie, you write, that I did vse that of the Apostle: You are made a gazing stock, to God, Angels, and Men; of Traitors: I did not vse it of Traitors; but of those Catholikes, who are with you, imprisoned, banished, spoyled of their goods and fortunes, or also put to death. You knowe who they are.

D^r. HARRIS Reply.

I Knowe the Iesuite heerein belyeth this State most impudently: by which, none but traite∣rous, or at least, seditious obstinate Cacolikes (& not any one meerly for faith or religion) haue been or are imprisoned, exiled, dispoyled, or executed.

2. The Iesuit here confesseth, that those said trai∣tors were Catholikes; and themselues (euen the Gun-powder-traitors) confessed that their treason was vndertaken for their faith and religion. So trai∣terous and dangerous to Christian States is the Ie∣suited Popery.

3. This Becane in his cōscience thinketh that these words, You are made gazing stocks, were and are most fitly and truely to bee applyed to Garnett, that cunning, but arch-traitour; viz. when hee was dis∣membred, and his head and quarters fixed on high, to be gazed on.

4. The present Iesuited Romish faith, is impious heresie, and Idolatrous blasphemy: the religion is grosse superstition, and open rebellion against God

and the King; or rather an open profession of the lawfull killing of Kings (Gods Anointed) by the meanest vassals of the said Kings, authorized by the Pope to kill them. As it is plainely set downe by Suarez, in his late booke against our King, Lib. 6. chap. 4. imprinted by publike authoritie with pri∣uiledge. Therefore by all lawes diuine and humane, why may not all such Iesuited Cacolikes be most iustly imprisoned, dispoyled, exiled, or executed as guiltie of high treason, for this their traiterous and rebellious faith and religion so stiffely maintained by them? especially, when as by their owne popish doctrine, Hereticall obstinate Schismatikes (such as indeede all those Cacolikes are) may be impri∣soned, and dispoyled of goods, lands, and life it self: and when as so many thousand deare Saints of the Lord, meerely for their orthodoxall faith and pure religion, haue beene in their bloudy Inquisition, and other popish persecutions, most sauagely tortured, euen to death. Therefore with great impudency doth he charge vs with shedding the bloud of Mar∣tyrs for faith and religion; from which wee are as free, as they therein are guilty.

5. No small number of popish Martyrs, so ca∣nonized and enrowled amongst them, were in truth haynous and diabolicall Traitors against the King, Queen, and State heere; and accordingly were here executed: therefore, indeede these words, You are made agazing stock &c. the Iesuite applied to Trai∣tors, to wit, such popish Martyrs.

6. Lastly, the exceeding clemency of our King

towards the now imprisoned seditious and treache∣rous Cacolikes is such, that they fare more delici∣ously and liue more sportfully (I might well haue said, riotouslie) then millions of his Maiesties good subiects doe, who enioy their libertie. This is too too well knowne. And this, forsooth is that hard-hard vsage, and hot persecution, which hath bred this Iesuiticall exclamation.
