The Popish oil and Chrism were defended by Islebius and Sidonius, aut ipsi nimirum discederent unctiores. How like to them have we known many Formalists? The best respect which bB. Lindsey nameth for kneeling at the Communion, is, the eschewing the Prince his offence; But as for us, let it be told who hath ever of a Conformist become a Non-conformist, for any worldly benefit which he might expect by his non-confirmity? What worldly respect have we to move us to refuse the Ceremonies? What wealth? What preferment? What ease? What pleasure? What favour? Do we not expose our selves to the hazard of all these things? Only our consciences suffer us not to consent to such things as we see to be unlawful and hurtful for the Church.
