This may suffice for the 28. Section: but that the Rej. will needs have us take notice of some sharp phrases, and sentences he passeth upon us. To pass by therefore his prescribing of Hellebore, for Mr. Parker (which in us he would call scurrility, if it were spoken of a Prelate, though in all intellectuals, and morals, much inferior to M. Parker) to omit (I say) this, and such like single reproaches, he gathereth a bundle together, pag. 628.

The first is, that we have wrought the faithful Servants of Christ, out of the love and estimation of many. By Faithful servants of Christ, he must needs mean Conformists, as they are Conformists; and that Generally: for if he except any kind of them, they will cast upon him that imputation, which he layeth upon us: you say unto other men; stand a loof off; we are more holy, or more faithful then you, &c. Now 1. let any man consider, if it be any faithfulness to Christ, to observe and urge those religious Ceremonies, which he never commanded, but rather forbidden, as hath been proved? 2. Those which are in other things faithful, we go not about to work out of the love and estimation of others, but them out of the love and estimation of unfaithful conformity. May not a man speak against Non residency, if some honest man be come to it? But it becometh not the Rej. to ⟨p. 522⟩speak of bringing Christs servants out of love and estimation with many; while he writeth in defence of those courses, which have brought thousands of them out of house and home, into so extreme misery, as our Prelates could possibly bring any, and more then they bring the servants of Antichrist into.
