1. Cruel, and sanguinary; condemning Millions to hell, that invocate and call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, believing all things that are written in the Old and New Testaments, for no other cause in the World, but because they are not convinced, that it is their duty to give up Reason, Faith, Soul, and all to him, and his disposal, whom they have not only unconquerable presumptions against, as an evil ⟨p. 169⟩and wicked Person; but are also resolved▪ and fully persuaded in their Consciences, that he is an enemy to their dear Lord Jesus Christ, out of Love to whom, they cannot bear him. Especially will this appear to be so, if we consider their farther improvement of this principle, to the killing hanging, torturing to death, burning of all that they are able, who are in the condition before mentioned. This upon the matter is the great Principle of their Religion. All persons that will not be subject (at least in spiritual things) to the Pope, are to be hanged or burned in this World, or by other means destroyed, and damned for ever hereafter. This is the substance of the Gospel they Preach, the centre wherein all the lines of their writings do meet; and to this must the holy, pure word of God be wrested to give countenance. Blessed be the God of our Salvation, who as he never gave merciless men power over the Souls, and eternal condition of his Saints; so he hath began to work a deliverance of the outward condition of his people, from their Rage and cruelty; which in his good time he will perfect in their irrecoverable ruin. In the mean time, I say, the guilt of the blood of millions of innocent persons, yea Saints of God, ⟨p. 170⟩lies at their doors. And although thing• are so stated in this Age, that in some Nations they have left none to kill; in others are restrained, that they can kill no more; yet retaining the same principles with their Forefathers, and justifying them in their paths of blood, I look upon them all as guilty of Murder, and so not to have eternal life abiding in them; being as Cain of that wicked one, who slew his Brother. I speak not of individuals, but of those in general, that constitute their governing Church.
