XII. There are some sacrilegious Thieves, such as rob Churches, and steal away those things that are set a-part for Divine Worship: So some Wicked Men are Robbers of the Church of God, by taking away his holy Institutions, and setting their Inventions in the room thereof; such are the Romish Crew, &c. Christ tells us, that such who come not in by the Door, but climb up some other way, are Thieves and Robbers: nay if it were possible, the Great Thief the Pope, and his Accomplices, would have robbed us of the Bible, and the true Religion, nay of the true Church it self; however they (with all that adhere to them) have robbed many hundreds, nay thousands, of her true and faithful Members, both of their Goods, Lives and Liberties, for the which they must give an account at the great Day.
