Some would here defend the Ceremonies, as being most expedient Sect. III to gain the Papists, who otherwise should be the more aliened from us. O! what a fiction? as if forsooth, hardening of them in Popery, were to win them, and fostering of them in the same, were to wean them from it. Woeful proof hath taught us, that they are but more and more hardened, and resolutely confirmed in Popery by these Roman remainders among us; neither will they, whiles they expect that we are turning back to them, do so much as meet us midway: but kthey flee from us quam longissime: their overpassing and overreaching Pharisaical zeal, makes them hold fast the least point of their Religion, and adhere to the whole entire fabric of the Roman both Doctrine and Discipline.
