SIR! I Have here sent You the Second Edition, with Additions, of the Paper with Remarks upon your late Sermon about Restitution, wherein, as in a Glass, you may see your abominable Hypocrisy, in preaching up Restitution to the wrong'd, and that upon pain of Damnation, and yet you yourself can receive and enter upon the Right and Possession of another, an Innocent, Con- scientious* Bishop of our Church, (yet in Being, and Uncanonically turned out to beg his Bread) whose Bishoprick was setled on him for his Life, according to the Laws of the Realm, (which setled St. Peters in Cornhil upon you) which you have sworn to preserve and maintain to your power. You are not ignorant that a Bishop, according to the Rules and Practice of the Church in all Ages, cannot warrantably be depriv'd, or depos'd, but by a Synod of Bishops, either General, or Provincial. But was there any such Method of Proceeding in the Case of our deprived Bishops? It being never heard of old, that Bishops were deposed, or deprived by mere Lay-men (who might in- deed as legally depose Bishops, as the People might an Hereditary King) no, not in the Arian Persecution. *Dr. Tho. Ken, Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells. Reflect, I beseech You, on the dismal Fate (as a just Punishment of the Sin, much like that of Corah) of those Ecclesiastical, Schismatical * Usurpers, Gregory and George of Cappadocia, who unjustly invaded the See of Alexan- dria (which was wisely and honestly refus'd by Eusebius Emisenus, when proffer'd to him) upon the deposing of Athanasius, the Orthodox Bishop there, for no other Crime, than that of his Conscience, (your deprived Bishop's Fault) refusing to comply with the Wickedness of the Time, and vigorously opposing the prevailing Arian Faction. But the Good, Conscientious Bishop was by the Providence of God, with Honour restor'd to his See, to the Joy of his Friends, (who faithfully stuck to him in Banishment) and the Shame and Confusion of his Enemies. * Two Arian Priests, who died miserably and unpitied. To enter upon the Right and Possession of another, Is it, I pray, agreeable to the Golden Rule, which, you observ'd, our Saviour recommended --- What- soever ye would that Men should do to you, even so do ye to them. --- Read and apply the Apostle's earnest Expostulation, Rom. 2. 21, 22, etc. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thy self? Thou that preachest a Man should not steal, dost thou steal? Thou that abhorrest Idols, dost thou commit Sacriledge? Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God? For the Name of God is blasphemed, through you. ------ O Sir! Consider what Occasion you give to the Enemies of our Religion, to blaspheme that worthy Name by which we are called. ------ Is this worthy of the Pious Dr. Beveridge, the Humble, Mortified, Self-denying, Heavenly-minded Dr. Beveridge? Whom we esteem'd a Second Chrysostom in our Antioch, the Or- nament of our Protestant City, a Main Pillar in our Church, the Beauty of our Israel, a burning and a shining Light, a bright Star in our English Firmament, and the great Reviver and Example of Primitive Piety, celebrating the bles- sed Sacrament (the lively Memory of the Passion of our Lord, that heavenly Feast of Love, which thinks and does no Ill to its Neighbor) every Sun- day. And is it not strange that so worthy a Divine, and so good a Christian, should be guilty of so scandalous, so shameful a Prevarication? But, O, how are the Mighty fallen! --- How unaccountably prevalent and mischievous are the Charms of that Sin, which the Spirit of God compares to the *Sin of Witch- craft? * 1 Sam. 15. 23. God Almighty open your Eyes, and your Brethren's, that you may see your Errors, and repent, and break off your Sins by Righteousness, and so avert his Wrath and Judgments, both from your Selves, and these trembling Nations. --- Which is the earnest Prayer of, REVEREND SIR!
London, May 2. 1691. Your Sincere and Faithful Monitor, And Hearty Well-Wisher, etc. SIR! You'll pardon this plain Dealing, for which I have a Warrant from God himself, Lev. 19. 17. Thou shalt not hate thy Brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy Neighbour, and not suffer Sin upon him.
