Mr. Fox Preface to the Works of Mr. Tyndal, saith, Albeit increasing of learning, of Tongues, and Sciences, with quickness of wit in youth, and others doth marvellously shoot up, as it is to be seen to the sufficient furnishing of Christs Church; yet so it happeneth, I cannot tell how, the farther I look back into those former times of Tyndal, Frith, and other like, more simplicity, with true zeal, with humble modesty I see, with less corruption of affections in them — In opening of Scriptures, what truth, what soundness can a man require more, or what more is to be said than is found in Tyndal, &c. The same is the judgment of the Learned and witty Prefacer to the Treatise, called the Book-Fish, (containing certain Treatises of John Frith the Martyr, taken out of a Cod-fishes belly in Cambridge Market, Anno 1626. and after published. The Author of that notable Preface is thought to have been Dr. Thomas Goad of Haddenham, one of our five Divines that were at the Synod of Dort. This Author saith also, He knows not how, but he finds a better spirit, more vivacity, and efficacy in the writings of the first Reformers, than in the more accurate labours of these of our times. For new lights, hear the judgment of the old Non-Conformists. Opinions now embraced as new truths and lights, are no other for substance, but the old errors and dotages of Barrow and Greenwood long since published by them, and by the godly opposed; so that like rusty weapons they are newly furbished, and being but the same metals and materials, are cast into a new mold, with an addition of some things more of the same sort. |
