Why is not Popery coming in fast enough; but you must make a preparation thereunto: yea become a purveyor, & harbinger to make Room, & lay in provision for it? Is it not sufficient, that the wicket is set open, that the Popish pack may be drawn in; but you must set open the great gate, that a Sumpter horse may amble in with a load of relics & Cerem? For if the patent of the Church be so enlarged, to appoint Cerem: at their pleasure, to admonish and teach, and it is in their power to appoint what, & how many, as seems good to them; why then let images be erected, let crosses & Crucifixes be set up in every corner. These are lawful admonitors, & instructors, & we cannot have too many good Companions, to putt us in mind of our duties.
