And a sixth sort of Seekers there are that think the whole company of believers should now be over-grown the Scripture, Ministry and Ordinances: For they think that the Law was the Fathers Administration, and the Gospel Ministry and Sacraments are the Sons Administration, and that both these are now past, and the season of the Spirits Administration is come, which all must attend, and quit the lower forms. The David-Georgians were the chief that taught the world this lesson, their Leader taking himself to be the Holy Ghost. All these sorts of Seekers are bred or cherished by the Jesuits and Friars. And the truth is, when a man is made a Seeker, he is half made a Papist: As a Dog when he hath lost his Master will follow almost any body that will whistle him; so when men have lost their Ministry, Church and Religion, they are easily allured to the Church of Rome: For they are a body as conspicuous to a carnal eye as any other. And who will not rather be of the Roman Church and Religion then of none?

4. Another sort of Hiders are the Quakers; an impudent Generation, and open enough in pulling down; but as secret and reserved as the rest in asserting and building up. What interests the Papists have in breeding and feeding this Sect among us, hath been partly proved from the Oaths of Witnesses, and Confessions of Friars, and somewhat I have spoken of it in three several Papers against them. The Doctrine of this fourth sort is the same, or scarce discernible from the rest.
