XVII. Our Religion is for increasing true practical knowledge in all men, by all our industry, as knowing the Father of Lights saveth us by illumination; and therefore we are for all mens reading or hearing the holy Scriptures, and worshipping God in a known tongue: But yet with the help of the skilfullest Teachers. ⟨p. 194⟩The Prince of darkness leadeth men in the dark to do the works of darkness, that they may be cast into outer darkness. How the case is with yours I have before showed.

XVIII. Our Religion is for so much fasting and austerities as is truly necessary to the subduing of Pride, Worldliness, or fleshly lusts, or to express our self-abasement in due times of humiliation, (prescribed by Authority on public occasions, or discerned by our selves in private;) and so much as is truly helpful to us in Gods service, or our preparations for death. But how much you have turned these into unreasonable Ceremony, and how much into a pretended satisfaction to Gods Justice by punishing our selves, as if our hurt delighted God when it tends not to our healing, I shall not now stay to open. See Dallaeus de Poenis, Indulgentis, & de Jejuniis, of it at large.
