3. That you will not hearken to Papists secretly, nor masked, ⟨p. 347⟩nor coming to you by indirect and Juggling ways: but open their persuasions, and call to some able studied Divines to deal with them in your hearing, if needs you will hear them, that so you may hear one side as well as the other.

4. That you take heed what Retainers, Servants, or Familiars are about you: For some that pretend to be acquainted with these men, are much mistaken, if they be not more frequent at your elbows, and in your Bed-chambers, then many do imagine. If they cannot be of your Councils, and your near attendants, they will rather be your Porters, or the Grooms of your Stables, then they will be kept out.
