2. Nor can they have the same Spirit of prayer, the same prayer or answer; for Presbyterians pray for the nearest uniformity in Religion, faith, worship, government. And for all the ends in the Covenant, extirpation of heresy, of Familism, Antinomianism, Scepticism, abominable Liberty of conscience. I should be glad, if Independents, and the Author of this Letter would pray and endeavour the same; for William Del, and John Saltmarsh have preached and printed to the world the grossest points of Familism, and they are ordinary Preachers to the General, and the rest of the Commanders, when Arminians and Socinians, and men not half so absurd and monstrous in the faith as they, did preach before the King, the godly in both Kingdoms mourned for it to God, and prayed against these things; and I conceive the godly Presbyterians do the same yet, and have not forsaken their principles, or the truth in a jot. If the Presbyterian pray, as they do, that God would avert that Atheistical plague of Liberty of conscience, & extirpate ⟨p. 253⟩Familism, Socinianism, &c. And Independents pray that God would grant them the grace of Liberty of conscience, & that Familists, Socinians, &c. may be tolerated and promoted to highest places: Can the Spirit bestow the same access and presence to the prayers of the one as to the other▪ Have contradictory prayers the same answer from God? Will God hear and satisfy both? But I observe here that Saltmarsh and Famili••s father all their new lights on the Spirit, and make the holy Spirit the author of Scepticism, and contradicent truths, for Saltmarsh saith, if there be not a toleration of all Religions, all the glorious discoveries of God, above or beyond that system or form of doctrine &c. (established and concluded by the Assembly of Divines according to the word) shall be judged and sentenced as heresy and schism, and so God shall be judged by man; Why? because God himself speaks Familism, Arianism, Socinianism, and all heresies in these that now go for Independents, and God speaks the ju•t contrary in Presbyterians, and if men judge either, because the same Spirit of faith is in both, then God must be judged by men.
