"The Case of Indifferent Things used in God's Worship, stated on behalf of Dissenters," here referred to, was written in reply to a Discourse on the same subject by Dr. Williams, Bishop of Chichester, which with a Vindication appears in the London Cases. See also Bishop Sanderson's admirable Sermon, "Puritan Prejudices and Censures against the Regular Episcopal Clergy, considered and answered," (in the fourth vol. of Wordsworth's Christian Institutes); Bancroft's Survey of the pretended holy discipline, 4to, Lond. 1593; and Dangerous positions and proceedings, etc., 8vo, Lond.

L. is only new modelled Paganism, and perfectly destructive of the great ends and purposes of God in the Gospel. [By Thankful Owen.] pp. 82, 4to Lond. 1679 Mr. Thankful Owen designed a book for the press, which he entitled Imago Imaginis; the design of which was to shew, that Rome Papal is an Image of Rome Pagan. See Fasti Oxon. vol. ii. col. 52. (Edit. Bliss, vol. iv. col. 91.) But whether it was ever completed and printed, I find not.-Peck. A Dissenter, born in 1619, died 1681. The resemblance between Paganism and Popery has been often adverted to by writers on the Romish controversy, but the chief works devoted expressly to the illustration of it are the following: - Du Pre's Conformity of Ancient and Modern Ceremonies, translated from the French, 1745; Stopford's PaganoPapismus, or an Exact Parallel between Rome-Pagan and RomeChristian, in their Doctrines and Ceremonies, published in 1675; EIKOV Tоν Onpiov, or the Image of the Beast, by Delaune, the well-known Nonconformist, 1684; Middleton's Letter from Rome, showing an exact Conformity between Popery and Paganism, or the Religion of the present Romans derived from that of their Heathen Ancestors; Popery the Religion of Heathenism, by Ignotus [J. Poynder], published in 1818, which contains along with a summary of the conformity of Popery to Ancient Paganism, a full proof of its similarity to Modern Hinduism; Poynder's Alliance between Popery and Paganism. The Abbé de la Berthier, the author of the following treatise, was a prisoner in the Bastile, and being asked why he troubled himself to write against the Constitution Unigenitus, made answer that he took Priest's Orders with no other view than to preach and defend the Truth which is wounded by that Constitution; .... that if his enemies pleased they might put him to death, which he was resolved to suffer rather than retract one tittle of what he had written. "A Parallel of the Doctrine of the Pagans, with the Doctrine of the Jesuits; and that of the Constitution Unigenitus issued by Pope Clement XI. Divided into several chapters and sections, shewing the contrary Sentiments of the Pagans and Jesuits. Translated (by Stephen Whatley) from the Original printed in France. To which are added, Copies of the said Constitution, and of the 101 Propositions of Father Quesnel thereby condemned." 8vo Dubl. 1726 It is here proved that the Jesuit authors have advanced infamous principles in regard to almost every department of duty, which had been denounced even by Heathen writers. See also The Jesuits Morals [by Anthony Arnauld] translated from the French, fol. Lond. 1670. To the list given above may be added Francis De Croy's Harmony of the Romish Church with Gentilism, Judaism, and ancient Heresies.

The Publisher to the Reader. "The Malignity of the times, and the Disasters ensuing thereupon for above these Forty years, have been too pernicious to be soon forgot. There are none so ignorant who have not heard of the Defeat of his Late Majesties Army by the Rebels at Worcester on the 3d of September 1651. And of the then Preservation of His Sacred Life and Person by the care and fidelity of his Catholic Subjects, of whom I acknowledg myself the most unworthy. In this sad Conjuncture it was that the desolate King after having been harassed to and fro, night and day in continual fatigues and perils, from Wednesday the Day of the Battel till Sunday following (the particulars of which are out of the sphere of my present design to enlarge upon) at last found an Asylum and Refuge at Mr. Whitgrave's House at Moseley in Staffordshire, whither Divine Providence not long before brought me, and where I had first the Honor of Attending upon him. During this Retreat, whilst Mr. Whitgrave, his Lady, and Mother, (who alone of all the Houshold were Privy to the Secret) were often busied in watching and other discharges of their Duty towards his Accommodation and Safeguard, His Majesty was pleased to entertain himself for the most part with me in my chamber, by perusing several of my Books, amongst others he took up this present Treatise then a Manuscript, lying on the table |
