As the hatred, contempt, persecution of the power of godliness; No nation upon the face of the earth hath that guilt in this regard upon it that England hath, nor never had since the world began, Persecution of faithful & godly Ministers, of the same Religion holding all fundamental Truths, yea, all the Articles of Religion, every point of the Doctrine of Religion together with them; (I say) never any Nation was guilty of that persecution as we of this Kingdom are; Silencing many for •rifles and toys; Persecuting for keeping the Sabbath: It is true, other countries are loose in their practice or the Sabbath, but no country upon the face of the earth hath ever persecuted the keeping of it as England hath done; and that by the countenance of those in authority. We are sinner and others are sinners, but the Lord hath a controversy with us for these things in a more special manner than with any people upon the fac• of the earth this day.
