I am not against the law, nor repentance, nor duties, nor ordinances, as some would say: so all these flow from their right principles to their right end. I am not against the settling of Church government prudentially, as now, so as all of another way be not persecuted, because I know God hath his people under several attainments and measures, and is to his people in all these in his mere grace and love, as formerly to Bishops, and thousands of weak Christians in Queen Elizabeths and Queen Mary's days of martyrdom in their forms.
