QUEST. VI.
Quest. 6. BUT will not this course divide us among our selves; while one goeth to the Parish Churches and another doth not?
Answ. 1. Mr. Tombs did not stick at dividing the Anabaptists when he wrote for Parish Communion. And Mr. Philip Nigh did not stick at the fear of dividing the Independents, when he wrote a M. S. (as I am credibly informed) for the hearing of the Parish Preachers, (though another wrote against it presently after).
