I speak not of the Intention, but of the Action; by which the Separatists cut down the banks, and when they had let in the Prelacy and Liturgy which they dislike, then write and talk against them.

I will add one Question to this unpleasant Section; If there be as few in all the Christian World; yea, among the reformed Calvinists and Lutherans, out of our Kings Dominions, that can pray as well without a form, as with it, as we have great cause to believe; would he ⟨p. 30⟩have all these Nations dissolve all their Churches, and like Atheists cast off all public Church-worship, till they have Ministers enough that have learnt to pray better without a Form or Liturgy than with it? If this be desired, I appeal to any that can difference Christianity from Heathenism, Whether Liturgies, or such a Separation from Liturgies, would do more hurt?
