Sect. 10. 4. And though I accuse you not, you that unjustly said before that I made you seem a company of perjured Villains, seems to think your self that the fore alleged causes make many of the people think little better of some; and a Church thought to consist of such Pastors and Vestries, &c. (essential parts) differ from those that do not. 2. And the multitude of Atheists and filthy livers, and the thousands of Noncommunicants who are still taken for real members of your Churches, have now stood out against so long means and patience, that the reasons of longer waiting for Reformation, much differs from theirs in the beginning. 3. The Canon at first did not ipso facto, excommunicate all that do but profess themselves Nonconformists, as since it did. 4. The Bishops and their Canoneers had not then cast out 2000, nor near so many Preachers as now, and so did not so much tempt the people to flee from them as persecutors, thorns, thistles, or wolves. 5. When one Bishop cast any out, some other usually would endure them, but now it was not so. 6. The people saw daily, that you bore with those as no Schismatics, that never communicated nor used to hear you, even the greater half of many Parishes, and took them for Church members as is said; and therefore they had reason to hope that they that communicated somewhere with Protestants, especially that communicated also with your own Churches, were as good Members, and by good Pastors, would be as well endured.
