The Third Way they insist on unto this purpose, the third part of this Image consists in Plots and Contrivances to murder Princes, to embroil Nations in Blood, to stir up Sedition unto their Ruin, inveigling and alluring all sorts of Vicious, Indigent, Ambitious Persons, into an Association with them, so to introduce the Catholic Religion in the places which they design to subvert. This Engine for the Propagation of the Faith, hath been plied with various Successes in many Nations of Europe, and is still at work unto the same purpose.

Faith, Prayer, Holiness, Preaching, Suffering, all in expectation of the promised Presence and Assistance of Christ, are no ways for efficacy, success, and advantage, to be compared unto the Sword, Inquisition, and under-hand Designings.
