And as the ungodly are most desperately principled of any Heretics in the world, both for the quality and the radication of their errors, so there are far greater numbers of them, then of all other Heresies set together. It may be we have one or two Anabaptists in a Parish, and in some Parishes none; in some few it may be twenty: But O that I could say, I had not twenty, and twenty, and twenty, and twice twenty more ⟨p. 45⟩unsanctified ungodly persons in my Parish! though I hope there is as many better, as in any Parish I know. Alas, Sirs, into how many Parishes may you go, and find gross ignorance, profaneness, worldliness, contempt of God and heavenly things, to be their common air which they breath in, and the natural complexion of the inhabitants, as blackness is to Ethiopians. It is a blessed Parish, that of three thousand inhabitants, hath not above two thousand natural heretics; even ungodly persons that are strangers to sanctification. And who then do you think is likest to be the cause of our distractions and divisions?
