3. By the way I would you could impartially consider, if the Puritans be so good men, as you fairly confess them to be, what the reason is that Papists generally are far more fiery against them than against those whom you speak so meanly of as Prelatical Protestants? Remember how your Writer after the London Fire, answered by Dr. Lloyd, did flatter these as more suitable to the Papists genius in comparison of the Puritans: And the Unmasker against J. Corbet will tell you out of Watson (an honourable Witness hanged for Treason in Cobham's, &c. Conspiracy) how bad the Puritans are, (comparing them with the Jesuits:) And if your Laws took place in England, what abundance of these Puritans would you make Bonfires of? yea your own Relations were not like to scape you.

And the Decrees De Haereticis comburendis & exterminandis more fully tell it us. Yea, whence is it, that most certain experience proveth it, that by how much the nearer any Protestants genius is to the Papists, by so much the more bloody, cruel, malicious, or slanderous and unmerciful he is to the Puritans?
