Whereas Ministers who teach erroneous and corrupt doctrine should be
censured by the book of Discipline, and by the Acts of the Assemblie;
yet the said Mr David Lindsey with his foresaid Colleagues respective,
have taught erroneous and corrupt doctrine themselves, and by their
pretended power have preferred to the Ministerie men who have taught
erroneous doctrine against the Confession of Faith, and Acts of
Parliament quoted in our Covenant; and they cherish and maintaine
them who teach Arminianisme and Popery, as conditionall Election;
Free-will; resistibilitie of effectuall Grace; The universality of
Christs death; The merit of it in heaven & in hell; A finall apostacie
of the Saints; The locall descent of Christ into hell; That Christ
came into the world _clauso Virginis utero_; auricular Confession, and
Papall absolution; That the Pope is not Antichrist; That the Church
of Rome is a true Church; That reconciliation with Rome is a thing
easie; That the Church of Rome erres not in fundamentals; and that she
differs not in fundamentals from the Reformed Churches; They call in
question the imputation of Christs righteousnesse, and they affirme
the formall cause of justifying faith, to consist in our inherent
righteousnesse; They affirme that there is a locall and circumscriptive
presence of Christ in the Sacrament, and they change the Sacrament into
a Sacrifice, and the Table into an Altar, the Ministers into Priests.
There are other damnable and hereticall points of Doctrine which
they maintaine; of which we shall give particular information in our
particular accusation of each one of them respective, with the proofes
thereof, when we shall be required.
