Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
For the preaching of error is like the selling of poisoned pestied [sic] bread, that slays the eater of it, and infects with the breath every man that comes near hand; and albeit the Lord hath brought in wholesome food in his house, and lies held his table long covered, yet the malice of Satan, and the business of the Pope to recover his kingdom, and the dalliance of worldly men, lies set instruments on foot to trouble our Church again; and God, in his deep wisdom and justice, has suffered, the matter to go that far on, that we might see what a fearful sin it was to put the keys of the house of God in wrong hands, and what evil freicks [sic], errors in discipline would bring forth, and also that he might punish the unsanctified and proud wits of men that would take upon them to govern his Kirk, as also he would have these ministers in this land corrected for their negligence who are like the rest of the country, who thinks of arms whilst they are in peace. So have we done. In time of peace we were all secure, and dreamed not of straits, and studied for no more but to get any sermon in the week; yet blessed be our God, who has also many painful and faithful servants as will be sufficient to clear his truth of his Kirk against all that will say the contrary.
