Early English Printed Sermons


A decad of caveats to the people of England of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these, as having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government as it is by law establish'd, an aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion an aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state : whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them : to which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the deity, the atheist, the infidel and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion / by Thomas Pierce ...

In-Text For a wilfull and a Groundless Separation from the Catholick and Apostolick Church, or from a National Church onely, which is a true Part of the Ʋniversal, (such as is the Church of England, where nothing sinfull is required as the Condition of our Communion,) whether by Breach of that Communion in which a man ought to have continu'd, or by a Refusal of that Communion which 'tis his Duty to be of, (and that as well by Divine as by humane Laws,) is so infinitely far from walking orderly, or according to the Tradition we have received of S. Paul, (that is, according to the Rule of a Christian Life, deliver'd to us in the Scriptures, ) that 'tis to give the greatest Scandal which can be given to Christ's Enemies, and tends to make the whole Gospel of none effect. It helps to justifie the Turks; the Jews, and Gentiles, in the Praejudices they have to the Christian Name. It helps to harden them in their hatreds, and even tacitly forbids them to be Believers. 'Tis true that Haeresie and Schism do so agree in one generical Signification, that Haeresie is Schism in point of Doctrin, and Schism is Haeresie in point of Ʋse. But they are so very different in their specifical acceptions, that Schism is many ways the worse, as I said before.
