Now by uniformity we understand not figures, words, 1characters, which we tie no man too, so they speak not as Heretics and Familists, who tell us of an incarnating of God in every Saint, or a Godding, a Christing of a Creature, see H. Nicholas Evange. c. 34. Nor do we mean union in time, places, persons, as Mr. Del ignorantly fancies, in his Uniformity examined: he may examine his own examination, for he speaks he knows not what, by Uniformity we mean union in the things, and in the true Doctrine, and substantial practises of faith, worship, government of the Church in the fundamentals: But the Arguments of Del and other Familists prove that the Saints are not to be taught by any ordinances, preaching, reading, hearing, (I should be glad this Author were neither of the faith of Del nor Saltmarsh, but h•s letter smelleth rankly of them.) Yea, by this way all England are licensed […] do what they list on the Lords day, and the Book of spo••s, licensing all Plays and pastimes from morning till night on the Lords day, must be called for again, which […], Bishops were ashamed of; for Uniformity of all Christians and Churches to •e•pe the Lords day is but a form, and no spiritual worship to Familists.
