judgest another, thou condemnest thy self, seeing thou that judgest doest
the same things. But thinkest thou this O Man, that thus judgest them
which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the
_vengeance_ of God? I tell ye nay, but except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish._

Truly, _Sir_, when I compare these things together, and compare them I do
very often, consider the purchases which you have made, and the damnation
you have certainly adventured; the despite you have done to the name of
Christ, the Laws of Common humanity which you have violated, the malice
and the folly of your proceedings; in fine, the confusion which you have
brought upon the Church, the State, and your selves; I adore the just and
righteous judgment of God; and (howsoever you may possibly emerge, and
recover the present rout) had rather be a sufferer among those whom you
have thus afflicted, and thus censure, then to enjoy the pleasures of your
sins for that season you are likely to possess them: For if an Angel from
Heaven should tell me you had done your duties, I would no more believe
him, then if he should preach another Gospel, then that which has been
delivered to us; because you have blasphemed that holy profession, and
done violence to that Gracious Spirit, by whose sacred dictates you are
taught to live in obedience to your Superiours, and in Charity to one
another; covering yet all this _Hydra_ of Impostures with a mask Of Piety
and Reformation, whilst you breath nothing but oppression, and lye in wait
to deceive. But _O God! how long shall the Adversary do this dishonour,
how long shall the Enemy blaspheme thy name, for ever? They gather them
together against the soul of the Righteous, and condemn the innocent
blood. Lo these are the ungodly, these prosper in the World, and these
have riches in possession: And I said, then have I cleansed my heart in
vain, and washed my hands in innocency. Yea, and I had almost said as
they; but lo, then I should have condemned the generation of thy Children.
