Should I but mention the Language of Papists, how they represent the holiest Protestants as Liars, Deceivers, Devils, intolerable, whom it is as lawful to kill as Dogs, Foxes or Toads, it would concern none but those of you that use to say, I had rather be a Papist than a Puritan, or Presbyterian; o• those that renounce Communion with us, and own it with the Church of Rome; who are, alas, too many. Such Language as •a••• 's, Vol. 1 p. 819. is of the sweeter sort, viz. Quisquis es s•lutis ⟨p. 73⟩t•• amans, Omnes illic• Calvinistas, Lutheranos, Socinianos Anabaptistas, similesque generis humani pests, Cacodamon•m instar execrabere. This is but what we daily hear: But while we hear it in a Language so very like from the Papists, and the Pulpits and Press, and Roger Le Strange is become the Church's Advocate and Mouth, it will harden them that did ill join together Popery and Prelacy in their rejections.
