And let us of this Church and Nation consider, that as we certainly are (and without ostentation or any secular interest be it spoken) the most perfect, and the sincerest part of the Catholick Church now existent, so we trust that 'tis the particular indulgence of Almighty God to keep us up to this our refinement, by constant persecutions: to correct and abate our personal defects, but to confirm and make our Doctrines more Illustrious, by the implacable oppositions of Phanatick rage, and Jesuitical malice: and if we farther reflect on that unparallel'd wisdome, learning, and moderation; that most rational and substantial Piety, Charity, and Devotion, which integrate the constitution of our Church, we shall be ready to acknowledge it highly expedient, that, with St. Paul, we should have a Thorn in the flesh, and be often under the buffetings of Satan, the designs and attempts of unreasonable and malicious adversaries; |
