5. THEIR PROPHANES AND ƲNCLEANES.
IT is registred of one of the Emperours that while he was baptized, he defiled the Fount with his Excrement, and twas said, he would prove an Enemy to Christians, and so it came to passe, so hee had his name Copronymus, but these unclean prophane Esaus brood, have not only defiled the place of their Baptisme, but esteem it in it selfe an Ʋnclean, Ʋnholy thing; they not only not respect Persons, Times, or Places; but Despise the One, presume to Alter the other, and Overthrow the third: They think they may pull Down the Houses of God that be in the Land, because Papists have prayed in them, and rob them of all their means, pretending themselves of Israel, and all others of Egypt, Ʋzza was punished severely for but touching the Arke to bold it up with his hand, but these imploy their hands to overthrow it, they say of our Churches, as the Children of Edom did of Jerusalem, Psal. 137. Downe with them, down with them even to the ground, they love not those that are Tryers of Ministers, because they keep an Order in the Worship of God, these love no Order, and therefore Revile; there is not the strictest tye or bond that God hath layd on man to performe, but they st••ive to vi∣olate it; turning The Grace of God into wantonnesse,, for the Sabboth, they hold it Jewish and Ceremoniall, as for the Sacraments, they are so Mysterious, that they slight them, for Honour to Parents, they ac∣knowledge it not, and for Marriage they hold all in Common, they seem to hate all Enclosures and Pastures, for they would lay all open, for the Scriptures, the Holy word of God, they say with the Papists, tis a Dead Letter in it selfe, and that it receives all the Vigour by their Ʋnlearned, and Presumptious Tautologicall Empty In∣terpretations, nay indeed go further then so, for they hold their sudden Inspirations and Enthusiasmes and Dreames and Raptures, to excell Them for worth, they say clean contrary to what Peter heard spoke to him, what God hath cleansed, call thou not unclean, but these count those things,
