It hath ever been the property of wicked men to accuse the servants of God, as the causes of public calamities. Thus the Heathens dealt with the Christians in the Primitive times: If there was either the plague, or the sword, or the famine, or the like judgements upon the Land, then Christianos ad Leones, they haled the poor Christians to the Lions to be tormented.

Arthur Salwey, Halting stigmatized in a sermon preached to the Honorable House of Commons on the monthly fast day, Octob. 25. 1643. at Margaret’s Westminster (London: Christopher Meredith, 1644), p. 3.
