Five disputations of church-government and worship

§. 30. 2. The Errors of the times are many of them your own, and therefore you exclaim against your selves. It is of your own ⟨p. 327⟩selves that men arise, that write against Original sin, and for Liberty of Prophesying, (which is more then Liberty of Believing) and for a kind of Limbus Patrum and Infantum, and for humane Satisfactions for sin to God, and for the Primacy of the Pope, and that all our Protestant Churches are no Churches, or Ministers no Ministers, that have not Prelatical Ordination, yea and a Succession of it; with many the like (to say nothing of other Pelagian weeds.) It doth not therefore become you to reproach us with our swarms of Errors while you introduce them.

§. 31. 3. There were Heresies and Sects even in the days of Prelacy. Had you not then the Familists, the Grundle•onians, (such as Hacket, and Coppinger, and Arthington) and the Anabaptists, and Separatists, and Antinomians, and Papists, and such like? besides the contentions between the Arminians and Antiarminians▪ and the contentions raised by Episcopacy it self, and the Ceremonies that it upheld? Who were they that rose up against the Bishops, and pulled them down, if there were Unity under them, as you pretend?
