In the second place, Is there any thing refused and opposed so much as Reformation? 1Oh that Popery were so much opposed as Reformation! Oh that Blasphemies were so much opposed as Reformation! Oh that Antichristianism and Atheism were so much opposed as Reformation! Happy we then. Would ye know when all these abominations are broke out in England? Oh it is in a time of Reformation! In a time of the breaking out of Gospel-light and liberty; such as the world never saw since it was Christian. In a time when we had sworn our selves to God by Covenant to extirpate Popery, Prelacy, Superstition, Heresy, Schism, Profaneness, and whatsoever shall be found to be contrary to sound doctrine and the power of godliness. Alas we run in such a contrary motion that a man might almost think there was a word in the Covenant mis-printed, and the next errata should bid the Reader read establish in stead of extirpate. Oh! God may say of us, when I would have healed England, then the iniquity thereof was discovered! ⟨p. 26⟩England was never so bad as in a time of a Reformation.
