A short Declaration of the Assembly OF DIVINES, Agreed upon Nemine contradicente.
AS it hath pleased the Honourable Houses of Parliament, out of their pious care for preserving Religion pure, from the leaven of pernicious and Blasphemous Doctrine, to Order the burning of this most scandalous Book; so have they further appointed us to declare the abominableness thereof unto the people. And we doubt not but every good Christian, as soon as he shall hear the scope and contents of it, will, together with us, detest the horrid Blasphemy therein asserted, and acknowledge the godly zeal, wisdom, and justice of Authority, in Commanding it, as an execrable thing to be taken away, that it may not remain amongst us, to provoke Gods wrath, and to produce such perilous and pernicious fruits, whereby the souls of many may be corrupted to their everlasting destruction.
