 sprinkles his sermons with murmurs against the 

 lawful magistrate, ecclesiastical or civil ; unless 

 he hath some better ground for his dislike, than 

 a thwarting his humour in things controversial 

 and adiaphorous. 



Thirdly, I should more than doubt his kna- 

 very, that should suborn Scripture, to attest, 

 or incite to illegal actions, as of kin to that 

 which Salvian calls* religious wickedness.

 for they are fomenters of sedition. ':j: Which is 

 noted by the great Casaubon in his Epistle be-

 in the church are never without these sad con- 

 sequences ; they rend the seamless coat of our 

 blessed Saviour; they breed schisms, and then 

 brood and multiply them ; they shake the fun- 

 damentals of the Church and State,'§ &c.
