Blessed Bradford, in his ep. to the Lady Vane, hath these words sealed with his blood: There was never thing upon the •arth, so great, and so much an adversary to Gods true service, to Christs Death, Passion, Priest-hood, Sacrifice, and Kingdom; to the Ministry of Gods Word and Sacraments; to the Church of God; to Repentance, Faith, ¹and all true godliness of life, as the Mass.

Is not their Idolatry plainly recalled, the names only changed?
