Now I crave a sober Answer to this, 1. Whether a Liturgy had not been better than no Worship for six days in seven? 2. Whether these Itinerants, that so dangerously erred in Doctrine, were not more sadly destitute of the help of the Spirit, than they that only wanted ability to utter sound words without a Form, or Books? And had not good forms been safer for that People, than the Doctrine of Mr. Erbury, Mr. Crad•k, Vavasor Powell, Morgan Lloyd of Wrexham, (known also in Print). It grieved me to talk with one of these Itinerants in 1663, who came to me for Counsel: He had been an Anabaptist set up for an Itinerant over many Parishes; I examined him, and found that he had not any more learning than to read English, and was grossly Ignorant in Divinity: ⟨p. 29⟩He was ordained for all that by a Bishop and conformed; I wondered how he past their Examination: He told me that they asked him no questions about his Learning or Knowledge, but only whether he would Conform, and so ordained him.
