Who doest thou think (sayd the Manichee ) made these flyes, that so molest thee? The fly-bitten honest-man, being angry, and waspish, would not say God made them, whatsoeuer he thought. Well, (sayth the Manichee ) if God made them not, who then? The Divell I thinke, (sayth the other.) If so, (sayth the Manichee ) who made the Bee? he could not chuse but grant, the same workeman, for the affinity of the worke. From a Bee then, hee brings him a Locust, from a Locust, to a Lizard, from a Lizard, to a bird, from a bird, to a sheepe, from thence, to an oxe, thence, to an elephant, at last to a man: and so perswaded a man, from such a triviall beginning, that God never made him. Let not therefore, Beloued these matters of religion seeme petty in your eyes, which may giue way at length to such dangerous consequences. It is not for Sampson to sleepe, when the Philistines be vpon him, nor for vs to cry, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, our doctrine and discipline is vnquestionable, our peace and prosperity vnder so Orthodoxe, and Gratious a King, vnalterable, the Lord hath made our Hill so strong. For it will not be amisse, to take this caveat by the way. |
Who dost thou think (said the Manichee) made these flies, that so molest thee? The fly-bitten honest-man, being angry, and waspish, would not say God made them, whatsoever he Thought. Well, (say the Manichee) if God made them not, who then? The devil I think, (say the other.) If so, (say the Manichee) who made the be? he could not choose but grant, the same workman, for the affinity of the work. From a be then, he brings him a Locust, from a Locust, to a Lizard, from a Lizard, to a bird, from a bird, to a sheep, from thence, to an ox, thence, to an elephant, At last to a man: and so persuaded a man, from such a trivial beginning, that God never made him. Let not Therefore, beloved these matters of Religion seem Petty in your eyes, which may give Way At length to such dangerous consequences. It is not for Sampson to sleep, when the philistines be upon him, nor for us to cry, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, our Doctrine and discipline is unquestionable, our peace and Prosperity under so Orthodox, and Gracious a King, unalterable, the Lord hath made our Hill so strong. For it will not be amiss, to take this caveat by the Way. |
