But here they ought to remember (Especially they who are called by the holy Spirit, Eminent Ministers of God, and Nursing Fathers of his church I.E. Christian Kings and Monarchs, that it is not enough for them, thus to have brought this daughter out of the Papists stews, home into their own care and keeping, unless they also put of from her, all that dressing, which they know to be whorish in the said stews, that no such thing may be seen with them, which may be ⟨image 5⟩accounted whorish: Especially in that city where there is great Variety of judgments, the overruling whereof by mans Authority is not to be expected, and where there are so many hucksters for the stews remaining.
But heer they ought to remember (Especially they vvho are called by the holy Spirit, Eminent Ministers of God, and Nursing Fathers of his church I.E.

Nor let them hear the delusions of those who suggest, that such kinds of dressing from whence soever they be taken may be made good & honest by Authority. For well they know, they are not set over the whole church of God, but only one part of it, as a Family in a City, and that therefore though they could bear out such things at home by their Authority; yet it is their duty (as they regard public Chastity and honesty) to procure the honour of their daughter and family not only within their own walls but also throughout the whole city; not suffering any thing to be seen within their house, which they know to be held, urged, and maintained by the Romish stews and their instruments as their proper whorish stuff.
