Come we to scan the particulars: The mischiefs, which he conceives to issue from Non-conformity are no less then Separation & profaneness. A heavy charge, I confess, but the best is, his reasons have not the wait of a rush.

1. That of separation, p. 5. is supported upon so slender a ground, that he bewrays only his desire to have surpassed his power: therefore Rhetoricates in stead of reasoning. If these (saith he) be Idolatrous vvill worships; how can you? how dare you join with us, in those acts of Religion wherein these are used?
