4. Nor was it the Liturgy that set up and warranted such ill-gifted Teachers as Mr. Erbury, Dell, Den, Paul Hobson, Chillington, Lilhurne, Prince, Wallwin, William Sedgwick, no, nor Mr. Saltmarsh, who wrote for comfort, That Christ hath repented and believed for us; and we should no more question our Faith and Repentance, than we would question Christ. I pass by multitudes of Army-Preaching-Soldiers, such as those in Major Bethel's Troop, in the same Regiment that I was with; against whom, one day in Amersham-Church, I was put to dispute from morning till near night, to save multitudes whom they drew every week to hear them, from their absurd Errors (and at last they turned Levellers, and Cromwell ⟨p. 37⟩was put to hunt them to death). The like I was put to with Brown, an Army-Chaplain, and an Arian, that maintained, That Christ was not God, in a Church at Worcester: And this life I had with them long. Was all this caused by a Liturgy?

5. The desolations made in the Church, malignant men would make with or without a Liturgy. What may not be abused? The Authors must answer for it. Such as aforesaid, Jewel, Grindal, Usher, &c. Preston, Sibs, Bolton, and a Thousand such, made no such havoc.
