Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

2 Our priesthood that took original from Rome, is not that which Christ ordained to his Disciples, because it is done by signs and pontifical ceremonies, and benedictions of no effect, having no ground in Scripture, neither see we the Holy Ghost given by any such ceremonies, it is a dolorous mockery, to see Bishops play with the Holy Ghost, by giving of crowns when they give orders, in steed of white hearts, the mark of Antichrist, brought in to clo•e their idleness.
