(5.) That he should pretend highly, yea, most highly, to God, Christ, Religion, and Holiness, and yet espouse to himself, as the Darlings of his Bosom, not only the chiefest Sons of Belial, but all that will decline Sanctity and Religion, and embody themselves with those First-born Sons of Wickedness, that are of the highest Magnitude, and engage themselves in such monstrous and butcherly Practices, that humane Nature, as such, could never act in the butchering of brute Beasts.
(6.) That the Spouse of this prodigious Monster should in Profession own God, Jesus Christ, and the Things of Religion, of which Justice and Charity, Holiness and Compassion are not the least Part; and yet under this Visor, and in the very time of these Pretensions, perpetrate the greatest and most unparalleled Villainies in the World: 1. In being the Top of Pride. 2. In committing palpable Idolatry. 3. Fill themselves with Excess and Drunkenness. 4. To curse, swear, and blaspheme the very Name they profess to be sacred. 5. To cast down the Truth, burn the Bible, deface the holy Books and Laws of God. 6. To assume not only a Power to dispense with Violations of the highest Nature, but to pardon and forgive them at pleasure. 7. To commit Adultery, and account it a venial Crime. 8. To break Covenants, drive a Trade in Perjury, forswear every thing they are justly charged with, and is fully proved against them. 9. To foment Wars and Broils in every Kingdom and Country where they have Power; contrive the Ruin of Towns and Places, Cities, Countries, and Kingdoms, by Fire, Sword, and most cruel Devastations. 10. To slaughter, kill, and barbarously murder, both Men, Women, and Children, even all that dare make a show of Conscience and Religion, so far as to abhor and dissent from these Villainies.
