SECT. LXVI.
BUT the Reverend Doctor Sanderson* 1.1 thinks I should also have given notice how the taking down of Episcopacy, &c. hath advantaged the Papists, &c. to which I say, 1. All men cannnot say all things that are true; especially at once. 2. All men see not that which some see: May I not give notice of a danger which I see, be∣cause I say nothing of another which I see not? 3. My subject and business in that writing called me to no more then I did. 4. I am not addicted, for all that, to hide my mind: and therefore God willing, I shall shortly give the world an account how far I think Episcopacy good or bad

for the Church of God, and consequently what I think in this case. 5. Yet this I will say now to satisfie Doctor Sanderson and my own conscience, that of late I be∣gin to have a strong suspicion that the Pa∣pists had a finger in the Pie on both sides, and that they had indeed a hand in the extirpation of Episcopacy; but my jea∣lousies will not warrant me to affirm it, or to be confident of it, or to accuse any. When I can prove this by them as well as I have proved what I said by Grotius, you may perhaps hear more of me. In the mean time I must blame, and again blame any of you all, that will not disclose this if you are able to prove it. I find in Mr. Prins History of Canterburies Tryal, that Cardinal Richlieu was a promoter of the Rebellion in Ireland; and I find in Bishop Bramhal against Militerius these words [There was a Bishop in the world (losers must have leave to talk) whose privy purse and subtile Counsels did help to kindle that unnatural war in his Majesties three Kingdoms,] &c. I suppose he means Cardinal ••ichlieu. But what they did di∣rectly against Episcopacy, I must leave to them to prove that can.
