Sect. 13. 8. Hereby also you would run into the guilt of a ⟨p. 244⟩more grievous persecution, when you have read so much in Scripture against persecutors, and when you have heard of and seen the judgements of God let out upon them. It is an easy matter for any Persecutor to call him that he would cast out, a Schismatic, or Heretic, but it is not so easy to answer him that hath said, He that offendeth one of these little ones, it were better for him, &c. God will not take up with fair pretences or false accusations against his servants, to justify your persecution.

Sect. 14. 9. Yea you would involve the people of the Land, and of other Nations, in the guilt of your persecution; drawing them to join with you, in casting out the faithful labourers from the Vineyard of the Lord. This is the good you would do the people, to involve their Souls into so deplorable a state of guilt.
