A lying spirit went forth into the mouth of the Prophets, Inspiring the meanest of all the people to affect Dominion over the mightiest; and never ceasing to blow the coals, which they had kindled within the Bramble, untill they saw it had devour'd the lofty Cedar. A Church forsooth was to be swept, (but with the Beesome of destruction ) though the best Reformed in all the world; |
