6. Do you think you shall be put to defend our Legal right to the Protestant Religion by what I am loth to mention, the sword)? since the Lollards-Tower, the Bishops Cole-house, &c. are out of date, they are too thirsty, and must have larger draughts.

Why then do you charge us with bringing in of Popery? I desire your Church would not put us upon temptation; we wrong them not in their Tithes but charge our people to pay them exactly; and do not grudge us the little that we have to bring us in bread.
