If we look into Popery, we shall find it universally a professed study to mock GOD. They make show by their abundant prayers of an abundant zeal: when (as if God saw not the heart) they think the work done is sufficient. Those Qui filo insertis numerant sua murmura baccis, keep number and tale; no matter with what mind: no nor yet to whom; whether to this Angel, or that Saint; to our Lord, or to our Lady. Yea it is recorded that the Papists in Scotland (about Henry the 8. his time of England) used to say the Lords Prayer to Saints. Insomuch 1that when a little knowledge came into some mens hearts of this absurdity, there arose great Schism. And one Fryer Toit• was gotten to make a Sermon, that the Pater noster might be said to Saints. So were the people divided, that it was a common question; To whom say you your Pater-noster? Call you these zealous prayers? Be not deceived, God is not mocked.
