The Law of this City
The Law of this Citie
Is the Gospel of Christ:1 a law indeed, but a law of peace. It made peace betwixt God and man, and it must make peace between man and man. If it cannot reconcile us one to another, it shall reconcile none of us to the Lord. It is a law, not to be observed for State, but for Conscience. Indeed those Catuli Catilinarij, Statising Jesuits, turn all their Religion into Statism, ⟨p. 131⟩yea into Atheism. And there be many Church-Recusants, a monstrous, menstruous brood, the Moon-calves of that lunatic religion. Come they do, but more for fear of the Law, then for love of the Gospel. And all the children that even hang on the breasts of peace, cannot be excused: for some through nescience or negligence, scarce cast an eye on the statutes of peace.

And there be many Church-Recusants, a monstrous, menstruous brood, the Moone-calues of that lunatick religion. Come they doe, but more for feare of the Law, then for loue of the Gospell. And al the children that euen hang on the brests of peace, cannot be excused: for some through nescience or negligence, scarce cast an eye on the statutes of peace.
