The practical divinity of the papists discovered to be destructive of Christianity and mens…

How it is no sin to worship the utensils of worship. Or the word Jesus pronounced, or written. Or the accidents of Bread and Wine in the Eucharist. Or the picture of the Manger, Thorns, or Spear which touched Christ. Or the Ass he rode on, or the lips of Judas for kissing Christ, though to betray him. Or the imaginary blood of a Crucifix. Or to worship any person whatever as the image of God, or any other Creature in the World, Toad, Serpent, or a wisp of Straw. Or the ⟨image 15⟩apparition of the Devil himself in a beam of light, or the form of a Crucifix, Sect. 3. to page 314.

Perjury no sin. When one takes an Oath and intends not to swear. Or swears and intends not to be obliged. Or swears in another sense, than be knows is intended in the Oath. So they may use equivocation, or mental restrictions in swearing. And think this lawful either to gain some advantage, or to avoid any damage. Many instances of such artifice of words or inward reserves, which they may use to elude Oaths. They may swear with such ambiguities or reserves, when they are swearing not to use them. No Oath can be contrived, which they may not thus elude, Sect. 4. to page 322.

The irreligion of the Roman Church palpable, in the observance required of the Lords Day, and others set a part for holy employments. When the people are discharged from Religious duties at other times, nothing is enjoined them on these days, but presence at Mass. At Mass they need neither mind God nor Divine things. It would be no sin to employ themselves in servile works on these days, if it were but the custom. Nor to give them no observance at all after Mass. This may be dispatched before Sun rise. These days are not profaned by any acts of wickedness. So that all the Religiousness which that Church requires of their Catholics, when they make the best show of it, is consistent with the lewdest acts of ungodliness and debauchery, Sect. 5. to page 328.
