Repl.

It seems Cal. this Book of Common-Prayer is your maine quar∣rell here; and Bishops, by the Bye: Tell me, who composed that Book? In whose Reigne was it composed? and what Authority con∣firmed it? Were not those blessed Martyrs the composers? they, who gave their bodies to the flame, in the defence of the true Protestant Religion, and in defiance of that superstition, whereof you say it is a Relique? Dare you vye piety with those Martyrs, that are so dayn∣ty of your passive obedience? They composed it; You defie it: Was not this detestable book composed in that pious Saints dayes Ed. 6. of holy memory, when the Protestant Broome swept cleanest? and when the cruelty of that bloody Religion was but newly out of breath, and fresh in Memory? This blessed Saint allowed it; You despise it: Was not this book, ye so revile, confirmed by Act of Parliament (in those dayes) the Members whereof were chosen a∣mong those that were (excepting the blessed Martyrs) the great∣est sufferers under the tyranny of that barbarous Religion, whereof,

you say, it favours? The Authority of this great Council confirmed it: You condemne it: Did not the Phoenix of the world, and of her Sexe Queen Elizabeth, of everlasting Memory, (in whose dayes God so smiled upon this kingdom) and that Monument of learn∣ing and wisdom, King Iames, of never dying memory in all their Parliaments, establish it? Yet, you revile it: Did not your self, in your oath of Allegiance, sweare to maintaine the King in his esta∣blished government, in Church and Common-wealth? Yet, in this particular, you violate it. Ponder all this, Cal. and, then, reviewe your own words, and if you blush not, you are brazen-fac'd.
