XVI. Our Religion teacheth us that without Holiness none shall see God, and none but the Pure in Heart and Life are blessed, and if any man have not the sanctifying spirit of Christ he is none of his: and that God must be loved above all, and our treasure, heart and conversation must be in Heaven, and none but Saints are saved. I think you deny none of this; And yet you Canonize a Saint as if he were a wonder or rarity, and you call a few sequestered Votaries Religious, as if all that will be saved must not be religious. And your Doctors are permitted to teach all that's cited in the Jesuits Morals, and Mr. Clarkson fore-cited: Even that it is not commanded, that God be intensively loved above all.
