It is my grief (the Lord knows) to see the delightful Communion the Saints once enjoyed, whilst they walked together under the same Ordinances of God, now dissolved in such a sad and scandalous Degree, by the Impressions of erroneous Opinions, made both upon their Heads and Hearts. I do therefore heartily join with Budaeus in his pious Wish,* That God would give his People as much Constancy in retaining the Truths they once received, as they had Joy and Comfort at their first Reception of them. I must ⟨image 12⟩in this occasion declare my just Jealousy, that the Non-improvement of our Baptismal Covenant unto the great and solemn Ends thereof in our Mortification, Vivification, and regular Communion with the Church of Christ, into which Society we were matriculated by it; is at this day punished upon Professors in those fiery Heats, and fierce Oppositions, unto which God seemeth to have penally delivered us at this day.
