Here first your statist is most gross, to whom his Religion is as his coin. Al that, goes for currant gospel with him, that is stamped with the authority & allowance of the State: He is hovering betwixt several Religions, that he may take any for his turn, waits & eyes, to see which side is like to prosper, that so he may be of the safest side: And he •esseth him self with the name of a Christian Church, & the substance of Religion. And what ever things are like to prove trouble some, these he vvil make indifferent, that he may take them, or leave them, as he likes best for his ease.2
