THE second part of my task is yet be∣hind, * 1.1 which is set me by Mr. Pierce, which is to give some account of my suspi∣cions, and the warning I give of the Groti∣an party and design in England But here I must expect that neither Mr. P. nor any moderate man will presently charge me with motioning a persecution of all that I prove guilty; or understand me as if I were provoking the Magistrate to ri∣gor against them. May we not so much as know our danger, nor give warning
of it, nor bid men take heed, but we are presently persecuting them that we are in danger of? It were a hard case with the Church, if men may do their worst to un∣dermine our Churches and Religion, and we might not take notice of it, nor be called on to avoid it, for fear of disho∣nouring the Miners or disturbing them. We hate persecution, and yet we love the Church and our souls.
