Those that you call the generality of the sober loyal children of the Church, will think never the worse of themselves, because others have liberty to live by them, without these things: and the rest, whose liberties you deny, will think rather the worse of you, then the better, for denying them their liberty in the worshipping of God. You undoubtedly argue here against the interest of Reputation, which you stand for: Your Prefaces to your Indulgences, and your open Professions; and (if you will needs have it so) your own Practises, will tell the world loud enough, that the things which you adhered to with so great hazards ⟨p. 16⟩are still lawful in your Judgement, and it will be you honour, and add to your reputation, to abate them to others, when it is in your power to be more severe. And if you refuse it, their sufferings will tell the world loud enough, that for their parts they still take them to be things unlawful. As for the Reasons by them produced to prove them sinful, they have been publicly made known in the Writings of many of them; in Ames his fresh suit against the Ceremonies, and in the Abridgement, &c. and in Bradshaws, Nicolls, and other mens Writings.
