I shall not speak much more upon it: but remember this general head, that though ye do not disclaim Christ, nor his Cause, nor yet take the declaration, yet that there is a joining of issue and interest with that Party that are the professed enemies of God, that ye have so don for personal hazards, and it goes readily from one degree to another, till it win to the last.
