Sect. 3. We take not the name of Nonconformists to be such a Cothurnus or Hose drawn over the several parties by your prudence as shall make them one, or tie them closer together than Conformists and Nonconformists are. I pray you try, if you will not believe us, whether Papists or Quakers take us or you for their greater Adversaries. Remember how after the Fire of London the Papists in Print did court you as men much nearer unto them than we are, and much liker to befriend them. And I doubt you will never make them think otherwise. We take you for men of the same Religion with us, and much fitter for our Communion, than such Nonconformists as Papists and Quakers are.
