2. The Names of bowing to Baal, Dan and Bethel, Babylon, Idols, &c. are as easily used by Quakers, Ranters, Familists, &c. against all God's Church and Worship: And they were worn so thread-bare by the railing Separatists (then called Brownists), against the Old Learned Godly Nonconformists, that they turned to the Speakers reproach.
