 rMion  of  the  good  Men  amongfl  both,  whether  ever  their  united  and  combined 
 Endeavours  were  more  necejfary  than  of  late  years,  that  Jo  many  Infidels  and 
 Libertines  jcem  to  /j.n'e  confederated  together  in  a  Defign  to  root  out  all  Prin-

 facilitfite  that  end,  that  Swarjns  of  Players  are  fent  forth  mt  only  to  our 
 Cities,  but  into  our  very  Villages ;  who  do  incredibly  infe^l  all  Places 
 where-ever  they  go,  by  an  Impiety  and  Ohfccr'ity  peculiar  to  the  Genius  and 
 2'alcnt  f'our-  Modern  Wits. 
 
 To  obtain  new  Laws  to  fupprcft  Profanenefs  and  Immorality,  may  ke  at- 
 tended with  great  Difficulties  :  And  it  is  a  Bleffing  therefore  to  hi,  that  our 
 Ancethrs  h..vc  left  w  fuch,  as  would  in  a  good  meafure  refirain  th.it  Liber-

 duly  executed.  And  it  is  the  moj}  we  can  wifh  to  have  thofe  we  have  ahe.^dy^ 
 put  in  Execution  :  But  then  it  is  to  be  cwfidered,  that  this  thing.  Putting 
 Laws  in  Execution,  either  as  hfrmers  or  Magifirates,  is  an  Attempt  of 
 that  defperate  nature  as  expofctb  the  Vndertakers  to  many  Indignities^ 
 and  great  Dangers.  So  that  thofe  therefore  need  our  gveateft  Eicmagements^ 
 who  have  oppos'd  thcmf elves  to  that  Torrent  of  Impiety  and  Wi:kednefs  that

 The  Light  of  Nature  alone  in  this  our  Lap- 
 fed,  Corrupt,  and  Benighted  State,  be- 
 ing  found  infufficient  to  difcover  to  us 
 the  right  Way  of  Worfliipping  God  ; 
 And  on  the  other-fide,  fo  many  wretch- 
 ed Impoftures  having  under  the  Pretence 
 of  Divine  Infpiration,  been  impofed  up- 
 on Mankind  in  all  Ages  of  the  World  2 
 It  muft  be  of  great  ufe  to  a  Paftor  of  the 
 Flock  of  Chrift,  to  a  Watchman  in  the 
 Houfe  of  God,  as  to  be  acquainted  with 
 the  moft  confiderable  Impostures,  and 
 falfe  Religions  which  have  taken  place 
 in  the  World,  fo  with  the  means  of  din 
 flinguifliing  the  fame  from  Sacred  Truth, 
 And  with  the  Apologies,  both  Ancient 
 and  Modern,  that  have  been  written  in 
 defence  of  the  fame,  as  contain  d  in  the 
 Holy  Scriptures :  And  in  order  to  that, 
 more  cfpecially  to  underftand  perfefily

 Dcfign  of  God  in  all  his  Revelations

 it  was  to  di{poflcfs  Satan  of  his  ufurp'd 
 Dominion,  and  Tyrany  over  Mankind, 
 which  before  our  Saviour's  coming  into 
 the  World,  was  ahnoll:  univcifally  En- 
 flaved  to  him  by  Idolatry,  Supcrftition, 
 and  filthy  Lufts.  Secondly,  as  its  dc-

 confifting  in  a  true  Inherent  ,  and 
 Real  Holinefs,  which  by  Sin  is  defac'd, 
 and  to  exalt  us  to  a  Divine  Life :  And 
 Thirdly,  to  humble  us  withall,  with  a

 th.it  the  Deiiru^ion  was  greater  than  that  at  Jerufalcm  bji  Titus,  which 
 according  to  Jofephus  dc  Ecllo  Judaico  Cap.  17.  amounted  to  iioocoo.

 mo  the  knowledge  of  the  mofl  abjhufe  parts  of  Holy  Writ,  it  being  a  known 
 thing,  that  tbe  Rationale  of  the  great cf\  part  of  the  Levitical  Law  is  beji 
 /accounted  for,  by  Piewing  the  opf  option  that  many  of  thefe  Laws  bear  to  thi

 But  then  on  the  other  Jide  care  muft  be  taken  fo  to  under  Hand  the  Nature^

 it's  Intent  and  Tendency  r/ill  appear  to  be  this,  to  Advance  the

 and  certain  truth ,  that  this  is  eve  of  its  great  Ends  and  Vefigns,  yet 
 fo  make  it  either  the  Sole,  or  Vltim.ttc  one,  is  to  conceive  too  nar-

 were  not  had  therein,  as  well  to  Gcds  Glory,  as  to  our  Happinefs  -, 
 ■which  the  whole  Tenor  of  the  Scripture  ./revelation,  and  the  Jenfe  both

 N.  There  is  nothing  of  mightier  Importance  in  our  Inquiry  after  Truth, 
 and  towards  a  through  under]} anding  of  any  Inflitution^  than  to  have  fixt 
 in  cur  Afmds  a  determinate  and  diUin^t  l^mwledge  r.fthcDefign  it  drives  at. 
 This  is  what  our  Bleffed  Saviour  prefcrib'd  as  the  moil  jure  and  certain 
 way  to  difcover  the  Erroneous  Dolhines  nf  Seditious  Hereticl:_s^  bidding  us 
 to  beware  of  falfc  Prophets,  which  come  to  us  in  Sheep  sClothing,buc 
 inwardly  arc  Ravening  Wolves,  and  telling  ui,  that  we  might  know 
 thcni  by  their  Fruits,  that  is,  by  the  tendency  of  their  Do^rines,  which  if 
 they  arc  naturally  froduilive  of  fuch  ill  Fruits, as  Chrifiian'ny  is  Defignd 
 todejhoy^  mull  therefore  necejj'arily  be  Errmeous  or  Herelical.  And  this 
 very  Rule  has  a  peculiar  Aptitude  in  it  to  difcover  the  tfwee  great  EtrorSj 
 which  havefo  much  corrupted  Chriilianity  at  this  Day,  viz.  Popery,  Anti- 
 nomianifm,  and  Socinianifm  ;  Popery,  being  a  Superjlition  that  maizes 
 the  nureii  approaches  to  the  Pagan  Idolatry,  and  tends  to  Indulge  Men  in 
 Impurity,  Aatinomianilm  being  a  Scheme  of  Divinity  alfo  that  manifeillj 
 undermines  an  Holy  Life:  And  Socini.uiilhi  tending  to  mal^e  us  value  our 
 fclves  too  much  upon  it,  by  tal^it^g  ks  off  from  our  depcndarce  on  Chrijl,  for

 A<  for  injiance,  the  tumendous  deflation  upm  the  whole  Nation  of

 »as  it,  but  that  they  regarded  n«t  the  Prophecies  relating  to  the  firjl 
 Advent  of  their  Mertiah?  The  Saddices  ridicuPd  then,  as  tney  d9 
 mw,  all  the  Prophetick  part  of  Scripture  more  efpecially  j  and  the 
 Ph.irifees  could  not  endure  that  the  Prophecies  fhould  terminate  in  fa 
 mean  and  defpicable  a  Per  (on,  as  they  look'd  upon  Jefus  the  Son  of 
 Mary  to  be  ;  and  both  in  the  midjl  oj  all  their  flights  of  the  Divine 
 FreaiSions,  were  o'ertaJ^en  with  fuch  fearful  Judgments,  as  no  Nation 
 in  the  World  ever  before  or  fince  felt  the  tike-  And  what  if  thofe  re- 
 Uting  to  his  fecond  Advent,  when  the  fame  Mefliah  P>all  come  to  tal^e 
 Vengeance  of  the  Woman  drunken  with  the  blood  of  the  Saints, 
 and  with  the  blood  of  the  Martyrs  of  Jefus  ^  tvhat  1  fay  <j  thofe  Pro- 
 fhecies,  tho'  not  ferver  in  number,  nor  le(s  clear  in  nature,  being  in 
 like  manner  flighted.  Men  fl}all  r\egleSl  the  Call  of  God  to  come  out 
 of  the  Apojiate  Church,  that  they  partake  not  of  her  Sins,  and  that 
 they  recc've  not  of  her  Plagues?  iVill  not  the  effeils  of  fuch  fcom 
 ana  flight  be  equally  Calamitous  I  It  appears  jo  to  thofe  who  read  and 
 hear  the  words  of  that  Prophecy,  and  keep  thofe  things  which 
 j^rewritceo  therein. 
 
 But  the  difficult!  of  underfianding  that  part  of  Scripture,  and  the 
 fxamcful  mifcarriages  of  many  in  their  Attempts  to  Interpret  them,  it 
 more  than  enough  to  difcourage  any  farther  locking  into  it,  you  will 
 fit)  ;  but  as  for  the  difficulty  of  under jianding  them,  it  is  no  otl.tr  than

 the  immwtal  Mr.  Mcde  will  be  ever  reckoned  by  thofe  who  Love  our 
 Lord  Jefus  Chridt  in  fmcerity,  as  having  laidfofurea  Foundation  for  the 
 Interpretation  of  the  Apxalyptical  Writings,  the  moll  important  parts  of 
 Scripture,  that  he  may  withfafety  be  follow  dy  and  with  great  fuccefs  im-

 that  they  can  fcarcely  mention  or  hear  mentioned,  withut  a  Smile.  But 
 fuch  would  do  well  to  confider  amidft  their  proph one  f corn,  that  the  Ho 
 Spirit  in  the  former  of  thifefacred  Writers  does  give  but  a  bad  CharaHer 
 «;  thofCy  who  underftandnot  thofe  things,  fothat  they  need  not  be  proud 
 ef  their  Ignorance  None  of  the  wicked  Ihall  underftand,  but  the

 Since  next  to  the  Holy  Scriptures,    it  is 
 highly  congruous   char   we  pay  a  great 
 deference  to  the  Authority  of  the  Anci- 
 ent Fathers,  and  that  we  be  well  acquain- 
 ted with  the  Dodrines  of  the  Church 
 in  general,    and    of  its  mon:   eminent 
 Dod;ors    in   parncilar,  thru-Jh^houc  the 
 feveral  Ages  of  the  fame  :  And  fince,  as  a 
 great   deterence  is  to  be  born  to,    fo 
 the  trueft  knowledge  ofthdt  Matters  is 
 to  be  learnt  from  the  A6fcs  and  Decrecjof

 1.  That  they  are  all  Popifh  Editions,and  have 
 many  Things  to  be  read  with  great  Care  and 
 Caution  :  There  are  fpurious  Canons,  and  De- 
 cretal Epiftles  of  Ancient  Popes  put  in,  and

 Fraud  than  thofc  who  follow  him.  And  all 
 of  them  generally  leave  out  the  28  Canon  of 
 the  Council  of  C/?-;?/^^^^;?,  And  thofe  few  who 
 have  it,  rail  at  it,  and  always  damn  it ,  as  got 
 hy  Fraud,  and  the  Pride  of  the  Patriarch  of

 whereof,  as  alfo  for  exa6l  Indices,  and  many
