1Eighthly, Be humbled, I beseech you, for former Superstitions: It concerns you that are the Nobles of the Land, and all that are called to be our Reformers, as well as the Ministers of the Gospel, to be deeply sensible of your former Compliances with Episcopal Superstitions and Idolatrous mixtures in the Worship of God. It is the very Law, upon which God hath engaged himself to take off the veil from before Reformers eyes:2 If they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the Ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the Laws thereof, and write it in their sight, &c. Who knows whether our Unhumblednesse for these things, be not the cause that the Curtain is not yet drawn?
