9. I persuade none to make light of any Church-corruptions, nor to forbear endeavouring by lawful means, in their place and calling, to reform them; much less to swear or promise it, were that any where required, or to renounce any Oath as not obliging them to any thing which God had made their duty.

10. I persuade none to the sinful fear of man, or to abate Christian fortitude, constancy and patience in a good Cause, nor to be over-tender of the Flesh, or make too great a matter of their suffering. Alas! what are Worms, that in the way to the Grave they should be feared more than God? Poverty and Prisons may be as safe and near a way to Heaven, as Wealth and Liberty. None of all these are the things that I am for.
