We have departed therefore, from Shepherds, that spoiled the flock: From Bishops, that destroyed the Church: that oppressed the Sprite of God: that defied the voice of the Prophets: that persecuted Christ in his members: that both perished them selves, and killed others: that wallowed in monsters of filthiness: that lived, as Heathens, under the name of Christ: That were void of Charity: void of Faith: void of Discipline: void of Religion: that were Christians only in Titles, and Ceremonies: From whom Christ had withdrawn his Blessing: To be short, we have departed from the Temple of Heresy, and from the School of Error.
