2 I answered your Minor first, because it is matter of Fact; but your Major also is untrue: For that which is imposed with an ill Intent, may be used to a good one: And that which hurteth some, may be a help to others. If the Parish Churches were all built to serve Popery and the Mass, ⟨p. 20⟩and dedicated to Saints, yet we may use them lawfully to better Purposes. If Priests Marriages be forbidden for ill Ends, it may be forborne for good Ends. If Glebe and Tithes were here given first to maintain the Mass, they may be used to maintain sound Teachers. It was Popes that reversed the old Custom of not adoring, kneeling on any Lords day: And yet you may lawfully kneel then in Prayer: Yea, tho they brought in kneeling to the Host by that Alteration.¹ So that this is another Error. And your Confirmations are not true.
