What (without a miracle) can hinder the Papal prevalency in England, when once sound Doctrine is shaken, corrupted, despised; when Scriptures are wrested by every private interpreter; when the ancient Creeds and Symbols, the Lords Prayers and Ten Commandments, ⟨p. 28⟩all wholesome forms of sound Doctrine and Devotion, the Articles and Liturgy of such a Church, together with the first famous Councils, all are slighted, vilified despited and abhorred by such Englishmen as pretend to be great Reformers; when neither pristine Respect nor Support, Credit nor Countenance, Maintenance nor Reverence shall be left either to the Reformed Religion or the Ministry of it? without which they will hardly be carried on beyond the fate of Pharaohs Chariots, when their wheels were taken off, which is to be overwhelmed and drowned in the Romish red Sea, which will certainly overflow all, when once England is become not only a dunghill and Tophet of Heretical filth and Schismatical fire, but an Aceldama, or field of blood, by mutual Animosities and civil Dissentions, arising from the variations and confusions of Religions.
