Men of profane & Atheistical spirits, who are ready to say, who is the Lord, what is the Almighty that we should fear him or his truth that we should regard it? whose Generation is of late multiplied on the face of the earth, crying a Confederacy with them, who professing better things, are yet fi••ed with grievous indignations at the sacrifice that hath been made of their Abominations before their eyes, by that Reformation of this place, wherein you have been instrumental, are a continual goad on the other side, and would quickly be a sword in your very bowels, were not He, that is higher then the highest, your dwelling place, and refuge in your Generation. These are they upon whom God having poured contempt, and stained their glory, who instead of accepting of his dispensations, are filled with wrath, and labour to make then drink of the cup, which hath been offered to themselves. With their reproaches, sleightings, undervaluations, slanders, do your worth, diligence, integrity, labours, contend, from one end: of this earth to the other. He that hath delivered, doth deliver, and in him we trust, that he will deliver.
