That seeing whosoever are partakers of the sins of Rome, are also under the same curse, those of us which have lived in Popery, should examine our selves if we have truly repented us of it: first, by the change of our understanding; as if we have grown ⟨p. 259⟩in the knowledge of the truth: And secondly, of our affections, if we hate Popery, and love the truth unfeignedly. And so let every one judge himself, that we be not judged, as we must expect an harder judgment, according to the long patience of God.

And so let euery one iudge himselfe, that wee bee not iudged, as wee must expect an harder iudgment, according to the long patience of God.

That there can be no sound agreement betwixt Popery, and the profession of the Gospel; no more then betwixt light and darkness, falsehood and truth, God and Belial: and therefore no reconciliation can be devised betwixt them: for if the members of Antichrist shall be destroyed, we cannot in any sort communicate with their errors, unless we bear them company in their destruction.
