How to do good to many, or, The public good is the Christians life…How to do good to many, or, The publick good is the Christians life…

And what keepeth out Reformation that is, the Primitive simple Christianity, from the Popish Countries that have Religion corrupted by humane superfluities, but the seduction of Priests and ⟨p. 31⟩the Tyranny of Rulers, that will not endure the Preaching of the Gospel, and the opening of the Scriptures to the people in a known Tongue? How much holy blood have Roman and Spanish Inquisitors, and French and Irish Murderers, and most other Popish Rulers to Answer for? Even Walsh the Papist in his Irish History tells us all, out of Ketin and others, how commonly in Ages they lived there in the Sin of bloody Wars and Murders, yea, even when they professed greatest holiness. Wicked Rulers are as the Pikes in the Pond, which live by devouring all about them. It is Satan's main design in the world to corrupt Gods two great Ordinances of Magistracy and Ministry, and turn them both against Christs Kingdom, and to destroy Christians in Christs Name; Oh therefore! pray hard that all Christian Nations may have good Rulers, and be very thankful to God for such.
