LONDON: Printed for Randal Taylor, near Sationers' Hall, 1684.   

To all Loyal Protestants and Subjects, especially the Youth of Great Britain, Philanax wisheth Grace, Understanding, and Perseverance in the Truths of God, and a Just Hatred of Phanaticism.  
ABove a Year since came forth a Book, called, A Looking-Glass to Display the fair Face of Popery; which is so pitiful a thing, so stuffed with prodigious Lies and Absurdities, that all understanding Men must needs rather think it to be Contemned, than Answered; yet because in the Circumstances we are at present, it tends to create Fears and Jealousies in Vulgar Apprehensions of I know not what, to raise Disturbances in the Nation against King and Government, and it may make some impression on weaker Minds, for whom 'tis chief intended, I thought it not amiss, to prepare this Antidote against that Poison.  
For I cannot apprehend any thing more advantageous to both your Temporal and Eternal Concerns, than to present you with a True Draught of Phanaticism, stripped of its Disguises; which at present not only threatens us, but has the confidence to paint and varnish over itself in such pleasing colours, as to delude unwary Heads, into a fond opinion of its Innocency and fair Proceed; when in truth there's nothing in the World that so infallibly tends to your Eternal Destruction hereafter, and in the mean time to make you perfect Slaves and Vassals to the Cheats and Lusts of a few base and self-designing People here on Earth.  
Though the Author in a Jocose Humour makes his Readers merry with Popish Tricks, as he relates them; yet Christian Charity invites me not to laugh at, but pity fanatics poor Souls! so misled by Satan's subtleties, that under pretence of Piety, they ruin Religion, and for the good of the Kingdom, destroy the Government.  
Here you shall find the Ways of fanatics in some sort displayed, their Principles detected, their Cruelties laid open; how they play the Devil for God's sake, by murdering Kings, enslaving Subjects, breaking Oaths, combining in rebellious Associations, overturning Governments, violating the Laws of God and Nature, and the Rights of Kingdoms, to advance what they call, The good Old Cause, and that by a godly Usurpation, as the days of Cromwell, they might lord it over Prince and People.  
You may here (generous Youths and Virgins) observe the chief Lineaments of Phanaticism. A small Picture of the greatest Monster that ever plagued the World. Whom to have drawn at full length would have required Volumes; but he's a sorry Mathematician that by the length of Herculeses Foot, cannot guests at the dimensions of his Body.  
The chief Policy of Satan is by Phanaticism, to undermine our Holy Faith, the groundwork of our Salvation, to extirpate Charity, the Bond of Perfection, the very Life and Soul of Religion; 'tis a very Plot upon Christianity itself. For where the enthusiastical extravagant Fancies of these Zealots prevail, all Order is ruined; where their canting way of Prayer and Preaching is practised, Christian Religion, so full of Gravity and Majesty in her proper Dress, is made ridiculous; the power of Godliness is destroyed by their empty Forms and shadows of Piety; and for the Fruits of the Spirit, which are Love, Joy, Peace, 
Gal. 5. 22:  Long-suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance, we have nothing but the Works of the Flesh, as Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Contentions, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, etc. as we find too true by sad Experience.  
This is the true Draught of Phanaticism, which the numerous Brood's of Sectarists strive to advance among us, though by never so wicked Means, as horrid Lies, Sham-Plots, Subordinations, Perjuries, Murders, Seditions, Insurrections, Conspiracies, Rebellions, Massacres, to the utter ruin of King and Kingdom; and had taken effect, if God of his infinite goodness to this Nation had not discovered their Hellish Policies. We need not have recourse to Foreign Histories, the days of Charles the First, of famous Memory, and of our present most gracious Sovereign, are sufficient to teach us what is Phanaticism, and what we are to expect from fanatics, when once they get into the Saddle.  
God of his infinite mercy in his good time make us of one Heart and Mind, as St. Luke describes the Primitive Christians, That we may not be like Children, tossed to and fro with the wind of every Doctrine, but being grounded in Faith, and rooted in Charity, we may live in Peace and Concord, and bring forth the Fruits of Everlasting Life: Which is the cordial Prayer of,  
Your Servant, in Christ Jesus, A. P.   

A Looking-Glass FOR PHANATICISM, By way of DIALOGUE, BETWEEN TIMOTHY, a Fanatic; and PHILANAX, a True Lover of his King and Country.  

The First Lesson, Of Fanatic Principles.  Timothy. 
HAve you, Philanax, seen a little Book, called, A Looking-Glass for Popery, not long since Printed?  Philanax. 
Yes, Tim, I have, and read it also; but in my poor Judgement it contains for the most part such pitiful, railing, lying stuff, that it rather advances, than beats down Popery. And I clearly discover the Author to be a seditious Sectarist.  Tim. 
How, Phil? You shall hardly make me believe that; for we hate Popery perfectly, and all stand for the good of our Country, and shall make our King a glorious King, if he will be ruled by us.  Phil. 
Yes, yes, as ye made Charles the First, the best of Princes 'Tis well known how fanatics make Kings glorious; neither can it be otherwise by their Principles. I assure you, Tim, if you know the Principles of Presbyterians, and other fanatics, in relation to Government, you must needs confess, That 'tis impossible to be a Fanatic and a Loyal Subject both together. Have you never seen a Book, written by a Doctor of the Church of England, called, A Caught for all Kings, Princes, and Prelates? The Author there demonstrates, to all unbiass'd judgements, that according to the Principles of the first Fathers of Presbyterian Fury and Phanaticism, 'tis impossible to be Presbyterians, who are the Mainguard and Principal Leaders of the Fanatic Army, and at the same time not to be Rebels against their Sovereign. And this he does evidence, not only from their prodigious Doctrines in their own Books made public to the World, but also by their bloody Practices and Rebellions in all places where they could make head against their Governors.  Tim. 
I am not so good an Historian as to know that. But tell me, Phil, Is it not lawful for Subjects, by a Godly Association, to raise an Army, and fight against their Sovereign for their Religion and Liberty, when he becomes a Tyrant, and opposes the Truths of Jesus Christ?  Phil. 
How, Tim, lawful? Then farewell Peace, and Truth, and Liberty, and Property, and Order, and Government, and all goodness, to make way for Rebellion, War and Bloodshed, Anarchy and Confusion to Reign among us. For those who say this is lawful, make themselves likewise Judges to give Sentence when their Sovereign turns Tyrant and persecutes the true Professors of the Gospel. But how comes it to pass, Tim, that you lay such Positions to the Jesuits charge, to make them odious as Devils, and teach the same horrid Doctrines among yourselves, and notwithstanding must be reputed Saints?  Tim. 
I see; Phil, you live in ignorance, and are not acquainted with the Privilege of the Saints. Know you not, that there's no Law to them that are in Christ Jesus? But let that pass. Though I asked you the Question about the lawfulness of such Rise, to hear what you would say; I will not believe the Presbyterians, and the rest of the Godly Party, maintain such Principles and Doctrines against Kingly Government. However, let the Jesuits say what they will to clear themselves, believe them we will not; 'tis not for our interest.  Phil. 
Neither is it for your interest to own such rebellious Doctrines, though undeniably evident from the printed Books of those you call the Godly Party, that they maintain such Principles, and put them in practice when armed with power.  Tim. 
I'll not take your word, let me see the Authors.  Phil. 
I question not but you have heard of Zuinglius, that martial Fanatic, hot and furious as well in his Writings, as in the Camp. Kings, says he, may be Deposed by the Votes and Suffrages of the Multitude, when they Rule not according to the Law of Christ; and 'tis a Work well pleasing to God, Tom. 1. Art. 42, & 43. And l. 4. p. 868. tells Caesar plainly, That they will obey him, if he will be Directed by them; otherwise they will take a course with him to the purpose. Which is the same course should have been taken with our gracious Sovereign by the godly Associates, if God had not prevented their Designs.  
Calvin, that furious Zealot in his Commentaries upon Daniel, Cap. 6. V 22. tells Kings boldly, That they lose all Authority, when they rise against God, and that men had better spit in their Faces, than yield obedience to their Commands, when they grow so insolent, as to rob God of his right. And all this depends upon Calvin's magisterial word; he no sooner says so, but they cease to be Kings, and every proud Presbyterian may spit in their Face. And I am sure when once they begin to spit in their Sovereign's Face, 'twill not be long before they cut off his Head. Thus taught Calvin, and thus our fanatics dealt with Charles the First of pious Memory, to make good his Doctrine by their Practice.  
Beza treads in the same steps, animating Subjects to rise in Arms against their Sovereign, in his Vind. cont: Tyrant. by surprising his Towns and Castles, opposing his Forces; yea, to kill their Kings, if they oppose the Truths of Jesus Christ: That is, if they profess and maintain any Religion, but what these Men fancy to be Gospel truths.  
Paraeus, a great Zealot in his Comm. upon the 13th of the Romans, teaches the same seditious, rebellious Doctrine, with Gracerus, Aretius, and Geskenius, who were the fatal Firebrands to put the World in Flames about Religion.  Tim. 
Hold, Phil, enough of these. But I must tell you, these are Foreigners, and therefore nothing to us. Do the godly Party of our Kingdoms maintain these Principles?  Phil. 
Yes, doubtless, they are something to you, if you follow their Doctrines; but your Masters in our Kingdoms are as guilty of such horrid Principles as any Foreigners.  
Knox, that furious Zealot, all Fire and Quicksilver, who first began to inflame all Scotland, teaches magisteriously, That Princes may be Deposed by the People, if they prove Tyrants, and act against God and his Truth; and in such cases, all Subjects are free from their Oaths of Allegiance and Obedience, l. ad Nob. & pop. Scotiae. And to encourage any desperate Fanatic to murder his Prince in a furious zeal, he is not ashamed to say, That it were very good, that Rewards were publicly appointed by the People for such as kill Tyrants, as well as for those who kill ravenous Beasts; In Hist. Scot p. 372. No Jesuit is comparable to this Fury.  
Yet Goodman is as bad as he, who in his Book of Obedience, in Exod. 17. excepts neither King, nor Queen, nor Emperor, but tells the People, They must seize upon Princes, who would seduce them from God, that is, their Fanatical Novelties, and tarry them away to the Gallows, and hang them up.  
Buchanan's zeal is no less fiery and furious; for p. 61. de jure Reg. Scot he tells the People, That they are above the King, for the good of the Kirk and holy Cause, may Arraign him, Depose him, Execute him, and Dispose of the Crown as they please. What think you, Tim? Are not these rare Fellows to make Apostles? Can such Men as these be sent from God, or have any of the Spirit of Jesus Christ? Is it possible for Presbyterians and other fanatics, while they maintain such Principles and Doctrines, to be at the same time fanatics and good Subjects? Can they at the same time endeavour to Depose and Murder their King, and yet be true and faithful to him and his Government?  Tim. 
Say your say out, and then I'll tell you what I think on't.  Phil. 
The Presbyterians and other fanatics here in England learned this Lesson perfectly, and followed it exactly. In the time of the late horrid Rebellion, it was publicly Preached by Fanatical Zealots in all places where the Rebels prevailed, to the utter ruin for a time of King and Government. And according to the Doctrine of these Bellows of Sedition, the House of Commons Voted, That the Supreme Power of the Nation was in the People, and consequently in them their Representatives: Or words to this effect. And what sad Consequences ensued thereupon, I shall tell you when from these horrid Principles I come to declare their bloody Cruelties.  
And now at present, did not the Lord Russel die with this Persuasion, That 'tis lawful to raise Arms against our Sovereign in the case of Religion? And would not Mr. Sidney needs be thought to die a Martyr for this good Old Cause? And this is the true reason, why they in a manner justify themselves at their death, without any open repentance of the Crimes for which they suffer; that those of their Faction, whom they leave behind them, may still attempt what they could not bring to pass by theirendeavours.  
And hence it proceeds, that whatever tends to advance among them the good Old Cause, must be sanctified; so that Lies, Perjuries, Sacrileges, Treasons, Sham-Plots, real Conspiracies against King and Government, Seditions, Rebellions, Murder of their Sovereign, Massacres, must all be good and lawful to order and advance what they call Religion and the good Cause, that they may fish in troubled Waters, and lord it over Prince and People. Now, Tim, what think you of these Firebrands, who break nothing but Flames and Confusion to Kings and Kingdoms.  Tim. 
In verity Phil, I did not think so much wickedness could have lain hid imwardly under the outside of so much piety; but now I see all is not Gold that glisters, and that fanatics are dangerous People, teaching such Doctrines so destructive of Monarchy. I begin to be your Convert, and shall for the future look more narrowly into their Actions.   

The Second Lesson. Of Fanatical treasons, cruelties and bloody practices.  Timothy. 
I Have well considered what you told me about Fanatic Principles against Kingly Government, and am amazed and confounded at it. For I took the Papists only for such Regicides; and all the bloody cruelties that have been acted in several places, our Preachers tell us have been caused by Jesuits and Papists for the Catholic cause.  Phil. 
Believe me Tim, you Fanatic Preachers are not to be credited, who think all lies lawful for the good old cause as they call it. You see already by most evident testimonies of their own Books, their horrid Pinciples against Regal power: and I shall make it as clear, that their bloody Practices have been answerable to their doctrines, the cursed fruit of so bad a tree.  Tim. 
Make that good once; and I will then confess the Saints have thiir failings, as well as others.  Phil. 
After Luther began to gather followers in Germany; these Fanatic Principles raised such rebellions in those parts against the Emperor, that above a hundred thousand were slain in those wars; accompanied with such miseries as made Germany an object of pity to all Christian hearts. Did not the same prodigious doctrines put Bohemia into a miserable combustion, that these new Saints might possess the Earth, and Lord it over their Lawful Governors? What tragedies did the same principles act in Switzer-land, to the overthrow of Government, and the ruin of all Order and Religion where they prevailed? Did not the furious Calvanists by virtue of the same principles rebel against their Bishop and Prince and make themselves Masters of his Goods and Territories? What bloody cruelties, profanations, sacrileges, murders, treasons, rebellions were acted by these headstrong. Zealots in France, cannot but force tears from those who read the Chronicles of those times. And did not the Hollanders with some other Provinces rebel against their Liege Lord and King, and possess themselves of his Rights and Dominions, annimated by these horrid doctrines? Neither can Kings ever expect better where fanatics are strong enough to head a party against the Government.  Tim. 
I never knew this before. But I was told Phil, that the Papists and Jesuits were the cause of all those stirs and insurrections.  Phil. 
They impose upon you. Tim, 'tis nonsense to say so. All those places enjoyed peace and quiet, till these fanatics arose, and became Incendiaries by these wicked doctrines. Did not Knox and his fellow Martial Gospelers raise a horrid rebllion against their Lawful Sovereign Queen Mary of Scotland, and force her to fly to save her▪ life? What think you? Are all the tragical cruelties, sacrileges, murders, blood shed, and Miseries attending civil wars to be laid to the charge of the poor innocent Queen, or these firebrands? I know they talk much of bloody Papists in Ireland, but I have been told by those who were actually in the wars there, that the Fanatic Zealots did equalise if not out do them in their butcheries.  
But to come home, did not these Presbyterian principles raise the late rebellion here in England against our gracious Sovereign Charles the first, and murd●r the best of Princes in so barbarous a manner, as justly renders them detestable to all Posterity; And were not the fanatics now again endeavouring by a most horrid and bloody Conspiracy to act the like or worse tragedy, to ruin King and Kingdom, and make poor England a field of blood, to fill all places with massacres, horrors and confusions? And all this, being annimated and set on fire by these principles, these wretched principles. Insomuch that 'tis observed by a Protestant Doctor in his Caveat for Princes against Presbyterians, Page 93. That in this last Century of years, there have been more Princes deposed and murdered for their Religion by Protestants of integrity, as they call themselves, then in all the others since Christ's time, by the attempts of Roman Catholics. For indeed these cruelties and bloody Conspiracies are the natural fruit of their rebellious Principles but such Papists as have rose in arms against their Sovereign, have been taught better things. Witness that famous Decree of the Sorbonists, whereby they condemn the doctrine of deposing King, and absolving their Subjects from their sworn allegiance, to be pestilential, damnable doctrine, and to be abhorred of all men, as new, false, erroneous, contrary to Scripture, giving occasion to schisms, derogatory to the Authority of Kings depending on God alone, hindering the conversion of Heretical and Infidel Princes, destroying the public peace, and tempting subjects from their obedience, and animating factions and rebellions against Princes which Sorbon Sentence was approved by the whole Ecclesiastical body of France, and declared in a public admonition to the King, Dec. 13. 1625.  Tim. 
I do not much value what the Sorbon Doctors say, though I cannot quarrel with this decree But I am covinced Phil, especially by the last instance of the Conspiracy; which though the Godly Party endeavour to excuse, or deny, or extenuate by lies and forgeries, as in the case of the Earl of Essex; yet 'tis so evident by self-confession, and proofs irrefragable, that who now denies it, may as well say it is not day when the Sun shines. And truly I begin to be weary of their company, now I plainly perceive, I cannot be a Fanatic and at the same time a good Subject.  Phil. 
Pray Tim, take notice also that those great pretenders to Religion are grown to that degree of Madness, as to take part with the Turk against Christianity. For our Mahometans Christians here, because they were too far off to assist the enemies of Christ with their hands, did as much as they could help them with their tongues, by praying for their success against the Christians.  Tim. 
Indeed I like it not, I see the hatred of Popery has made them almost cease to be Christians.   

The Third Lesson. Of Fanatical Pride.  Philonax. 
LET me tell thee Tim, they who judge of Religion by the actions of some particular persons shall never be able to justify any though never so pure and holy in itself. For seeing their Religion teaches otherwise, why should that be condemned for their extravagancies? If some Roman-professors have behaved themselves with pride arrogancy, and others of the same Church condemn them for it, 'tis evident that such pride is not the fruit of their faith, but the fault of those men, and they must answer for't. But the most intolerable pride of some fanatics, of the first magnitude and highest elevation among them, which I shall mention, was approved by their followers and therefore may justly be imputed to them.  Tim 
I cannot say but you speak reason go on in your discourse.  Phil. 
Did you never hear Tim, of John of Leyden, that famous Fanatic? This monster of mankind at length arrived to that height of blasphemous pride and insufferable arrogancy, that he took upon him to be Jesus Christ himself and true Saviour of the World; and sent abroad from Munster, where he had got by pious artif●ces and rebellious principles the temporal power into his hands, his twelve Apostles to preach his new Gospel unto the World; and his crew of followers did maintain him in this prodigious pride and blasphemy till at length divine vengeance fell heavy on his and their accursed heads, to terrify others from such antichristian Blasphemies.  
But to come home to ourselves. In the time of the long Parliament, who by no mean pride made themselves Kings by by destroying Monarchy, was not one James Naylor, for his wonderful seeming Sanctity, cried up for the Saviour of the World by the Fanatic Rabble, and set upon an Ass to ride in triumph on Palm-Sunday, as our blessed Saviour did to Jerusalem, they using to him the same acclamations, and he glorying in their Blasphemies? Can any Pride be comparable to this? Lucifer's ambition was to be but like to God, ero similis altissimo; but these Men, or rather antichristian Monsters, must be no less than Jesus Christ and God himself. 'Tis true, this blasphemous Naylor was afterwards punished for this prodigious pride, but his Followers called it a Persecution. However, let not fanatics rail so simply against Popish Pride, till they themselves afford some Examples of Humility.  
I know, Tim, you are no small Scripturist, read the third Chapter of the second Epistle to Timothy, and you will find a perfect description of these men, For are not they boasters of their own ways and holiness, prond above measure, blasphemers, disobedient, traitors, heady, high minded, having a form of godliness, and denying the power thereof? Can this be denied of them? And therefore I say to thee, Tim, what St. Paul there says to us all, From such turn away.  Tim. 
I think your counsel's good. For 'tis time to turn from those whom I see now endeavour to overturn the Christian World with Pride and Blasphemies.   

The Fourth Lesson. Of Fanatical Prayers and Devotions.  Timothy. 
ARE not those strange devotions Phil, which the Papists use, related in the Protestant Looking-Glass?  Phil. 
Yes truly Tim, strange and ridiculous enough, as there related, if any Papists be so silly as to use them. But take my word for't, if the adversaries of the Church of Rome had no better arguments to confute her devotions, they will not be thought the worse of by rational men. However if some Papists may be guilty of ridiculous devotions, I am sure fanatics of all men have no reason to lay it to their charge, who too often disgrace this principle part of Christian-worship by their extempore effusions in their public meetings. What think you of this Presbyterian Cant, among other such stuff, by a Scotch Minister before Sermon? Lord maintain thine own Cause, gued Lord maintain our holy Covenant; Lord, let the Covenant and the Common Prayer Book wrestle, gued Lord wrestle, wrestle I say Lord, and I am sure the Covenant will throw the Common Prayer book upon his back. Is not this pitiful, ridiculous Stuff to be made use of in the place of Public Worship? One might fill a book with such canting stuff in Presbyterian prayers and preaching.  
But if you come to fanatics of a higher elevation, who discover Gospel-verities by a mysterious light which is unintelligible, what a Rhapsody have you of fine words in themselves which signify nothing as they jumble them together in their nonsensical devotions? What strange disorders and confusions are they guilty of by their pretending to the Spirit and Light within, fathering their lies on the Father of Lights, with horrid Blasphemies? And I have been told by those who have been present at the Meetings of some fanatics, that they have seen such absurd Impieties and Abominations, as are not once to be named among Christians. And yet all these will needs be Saints, and being strongly deluded by Satan, think all the World in a Error besides themselves. If I should descend to Particulars there would be no end.  Tim. 
I have enough of them, and am resolved to be no longer deluded by them.  Phil. 
Let me also tell thee, Tim, That what the Protestant Looking-glass speaks of Popish Pardons and Penances, etc. is such jeering, scurrilous stuff, filled with such abominable Lies and unchristian Censures, that if the Author had any sense of Christianity, he would blush to abuse the World with such Railaries. I am not one who will Patronise ridiculous Penances; but this I am sure of, that a Religion which enjoins Penances for Crimes committed, is more agreeable to the Practice of primitive Christians, than that which has none at all, and laughs at such Devotions.  Tim. 
For my part, I shall not trouble myself to know what the Primitive Christians did. I am for the Purity of the Gospel, which holy Scripture declares unto us.   

The Fifth Lesson, Of Fanatical Miracles.  Phil. 
IT is evident from Sacred Writ, That the Christian Faith was confirmed by innumerable Miracles from Heaven, that both Jews and Gentiles might by such Divine Attestations believe in Jesus Christ and save their Souls. The Acts of the Apostles declare this sufficiently without dispute. And that in after ages God did work many Miracles in his Church for the manifestation of Truth, and conversion of Unbelievers, cannot be denied by rational men. Now if besides such as cannot rationally be doubted of in unquestionable Records, some foolish, wicked men, have counterfeited Miracles for politic ends; their faults are not to be imputed to the Church of Rome, who severely punishes such Impostors.  Tim. 
Methinks, Phil, you incline too much to the Romish side. Though your Discourse has brought me to dislike Phanaticism, yet I hate Popery as much as ever.  Phil. 
And I love any one who is a Loyal Subject to his Sovereign. My aim, Tim, is to make you a good Subject; which fanatics neither are, nor can be by their Principles. But prithee, Tim, if all Miracles are ceased in the Christian Church, and must no longer attest to supernatural Truths, why did Calvin so endeavour, by a counterfeited Miracle, to confirm his Doctrine?  Tim. 
Why, you jest, Phil, did he so?  Phil. 
'Tis a well known story, related of him by good Authors; That compacting with a Zealous Sister, and her Husband, he was to counterfeit himself dead, and the Wife to come running out, crying in the Streets, That her Husband died suddenly; at the same time, as was agreed between them, Calvin comes gravely walking by, and demands the cause of her Tears and Exclamations. She opens her Case; he answers in Gospel-Language, Weep not, good Woman, thy Husband is not dead, but sleepeth; and walking in, the People about him, called together by the Woman's out-cries, falls to his Prayers, and after a while pronounces with great authority, I say unto thee, arise. This being redoubled, the Man stirs not, the Woman wonders, and after all endeavours to awake him, he is found dead indeed. Which made the poor Woman change her feigned Tears into real Sorrow, and being almost mad at this unexpected accident detects the whole Imposture. Whereby the Counterfeit is punished, Calvin disgraced, and God glorified. Who desires to know more of this Godly Reformer, let them consult Dr. Jerome Bolsec his constant Physician, who knew him perfectly, and Francis Baldwin, and Florimond de Remond, Men justly to be credited in their Relations.  
Moreover, If you observe it, Tim, Fox in his Martyrology is very greedy to make every strange thing a Miracle, to Canonize his Saints.  Tim. 
I shall like the Calvinists the worse for ever for their Father's sake, if all be true is said of him.   

The Sixth Lesson, Of Fanatical Impurities.  Phil. 
HOliness becomes the House of God for ever; Christian Religion is a holy Religion, and the Catholic Church according to our Creed is a holy Church: but what Profanations and Sacrileges brought fanatics into the World, and with what Impurities and Impieties they have continued to infect and disturb it, is too notorious to be denied, and much to be lamented by all good Christians.  
There's no Society upon the face of the Earth, though endowed from Heaven with all means possible to advance Holiness, but has some Members that deviate from their Profession, and neglect so great a Salvation provided for them. How impertinent therefore is it to rail against Religion for the wickednesses of some Men, who despising her Counsels, to follow their own corrupt Inclinations, will not be reform, though the zealous Preachers of their own Profession, thunder against their wicked Lives, to reduce them to goodness? And how abominable is it for the failings of some, to endeavour, by prodigious Lies, to make the rest odious to the World, who are precious indeed in the sight of God? Those that are bad are justly condemned, but the Religion is to be commended, which takes such Care and Pains to bring them to Holiness. And I wish I could say as much for the Carnal Impurities committed by fanatics, who make Religion the Patroness of their Wickedness, and must be Saints for all their black abominations.  
In the days of the usurping Saints of the long Parliament, when Licentiousness passed for Christian-Liberty, a holy Fanatic, though married, had an Inspiration from Heaven, as he pretended, to lie with a Gentleman's Wife, who was a holy Sister, and a handsome Woman, she was soon taken with his pious Rhetoric, for seeing he said it was the Will of God, it must be lawful, and done also. His own wife takes them in their wickedness, and he to justify their execrable adultery, tells her, he could not but wonder that she being his wife so long, did not yet know the privilege of the Saints, and that it was also lawful for her, though his wife, to lie with others, who have a call from God for it; and thereupon brought her a holy Brother, who pretending an inspiration, did ratify the new known privilege to her content.  Tim. 
Come Phil, you abuse the Godly Party this is hardly credible.  Phil. 
Believe me Tim, 'tis so well known as to be discourse of the Country for a time, and appear in print; which the Gentleman hearing being a Parliament-Man, whose Wife this white Devil had corrupted, came presently home, and finding it too true, could not be persuaded but that this privilege of the Saints was against the privileges of Parliament: And so my holy Brother was forced to fly to save himself from the lash of Justice.  
A Zealous Quaking Sister at Holm in Yorkshire, not far from the Town where then I lived, staying too long with her holy Brother to return to her own dwelling that night, was invited by him to take a bed there, which she accepted, and in the night time being tempted with the Devil of lust, came to his bed side, and calling to him, said, good Brother, our Father bids me come and lie with thee; he replied if it be our Father's will, I ought not to resist it. And thus they make God the Patron of their wickednesses.  
Another Quaker in those parts when the furious spirit was upon him, came running out into the Streets as a man possessed, and crying he had a call from God to kill his Father. And what other madnesses and impurities are committed among them, I had rather bury in silence, being a shame to Christianity, then fully my paper with the relations.  Tim. 
I did not think such great seeming Saints could have been guilty of such Impieties. But I see 'tis high time to return to the Protestant established Church, and Loyalty to my Sovereign.  Phil. 
I wish you many Followers. For the fanatics at present are so bloody minded, and impatient to get all Power into their hands, that if the infinite goodness of God had not detected their horrid Conspiracies against King and Kingdom, all good Subjects, before now, had been Massacred by such cruel, bloody-thirsty Rebels, and the glory of England buried in Anarchy and Confusion.  
Blessed be God for all his Mercies in delivering us from the hands of these merciless Men. And to prevent it for the future, we will conclude this short Caution with this cordial Prayer: From the Tyranny of furious Zealots, and all their detestable Enormities, from Fanatical Massacres, Associations, Lies and Perjuries, from Wolves in Sheep's clothing, from Profaneness and Sacrileges, from a Presbyterian Zeal, and an Oliverian Mercy, good Lord deliver us. And let every true English heart say, AMEN.   
FINIS.
