There is a remarkable involution or concatenation of Errors, one linking in, and drawing another after it.
Amongst all Erroneous Sects, there is still some [Greek or Hebrew], some Helena, for whose sake the war against Truth is commenced; and the other lesser Errors are pressed for the sake and service of this leading darling Error. As we see ⟨p. 30⟩the whole* Troop of Indulgences, Bulls, Masses, Pilgrimages, Purgatory, with multitudes more, flow from, and are pressed into the Service of the Pope's Supremacy and Infallibility. So in other Sects, men are forced to entertain many other Errors, which in themselves considered, they have no great kindness for; but they are necessitated to entertain them in defence of that great, leading darling Opinion they first espoused.
