The •lain Consequents of the Cause which I confute, are these (which I charge on the ill Cause, and not on the honest ignorant men that see them not).

1. That is is unlawful to communicate with almost any Church on Earth. 2. That Christ having no Church for 1200. years, was no Head of it▪ and so no Christ. 3 That men must covenant to disobey Rulers or Pastors, if they bid them kneel, be uncovered, or any of the oft named Accidents and manner of Worship: And Children must disobey Parents that command them a Form of Prayer, Psalm or Catechism. 4. The Scots Covenant, and Independent Covenant, Catalogue of Fundamentals, &c. are made Idolatry. 5. The contrary Extreme is encouraged, To charge all this falsely on the Nonconformists, if we confute it not. 6. The Nonconformists, that 1660, 1661. attempted Concord by reforming the Liturgy, are made Idolaters, or their Communion unlawful, &c.
