SECT. XVIII.
To the Inhabitants of this City, I commend but these few Particulars.
First, Let me beg you to love your painful and your godly Ministers, if they be taken away, you are like to have worse come in their rooms: I know the Presbyterian Ministers are the great eye-sore, who have formerly been counted the Chariots, and the Horsemen of Israel. But I will say to London, as was said to Leiden, That after Junius was taken away (an Orthodox Minister) Arminius that pestilent Heretic came in his room; if your godly Ministers (as there are ten already at one blow taken from you) if they be taken away, Arminians, Anabaptists, nay Jesuits are like to supply their rooms, if God in mercy prevent not.
