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.

Consider beside, how many poor Ministers are under pressure, some fled, some imprisoned, many suspended, themselves & families undone. Why vvill you not suffer them to lye in the dust, but vvill you trample upon them, even unto death? Is it not enough, they make brick, but must they be beaten also? Oh consider, as before the Lord, to whom you must give an account. Do you well to blow the fire in the Chimney, while the flame is in the thatch? Is not the fury of the BB. ⟨image 46⟩yet fierce enough, their rage sharp enough, but you must set them on, and strengthen their hands, to strike harder? lastly, is not Cringing at Altars, bowing at the name of Jesus, like to be brought in, & practised with great forwardness, & vvill you, dare you encourage, in such courses, yea give an approbation and commendation to them? For they vvill say, they are but significant Cerem: they place no merit, putt no efficacy in them, only they are admonitors of our duties. Thus is the foundation of superstition laid, the Gospel Stopped, and an open way made for Popery, and you are the persuader, the encourager, yea defender of all these: how vill you answer this at the great day?
