Sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul discovering from the 16th…

How many poor Souls hath Bonner to answer for think you? and several filthy blind Priests? How many Souls have they been the means of destroying, by their Ignorance, and corrupt Doctrine? Preaching, that was no better to their Souls, than Rats-bane to the Body, for filthy Lucre's sake. They shall see, that they, many of them, it is to be feared, will have whole Towns to answer for; whole Cities to answer for. Ah Friend, I tell thee, thou that hast taken in hand to preach to the People, it may be thou hast taken in hand thou canst not tell what: Will it not grieve thee, to see thy whole Parish come bellowing after thee to Hell, crying out, This we may thank thee for, this is long of thee, thou did•• not teach us the Truth; Thou didst l••d us away with Fables, thou wast afraid to tell us of our sin▪ lest we should not put Meat fast enough in thy Mouth. O cu•sed wretch, that ever thou shouldst beguile us thus! deceive us thus! flatter us thus! We would have gone out to hear the Word abroad, but that thou didst reprove us; and also tell us, That that which we see now is the way of God▪ was Heresy, and a deceivable Doctrine▪ and wast no• contented (blind Guide as thou wert) to f•ll into the Ditch thy self, but hast also led us thither with thee.
