In the abolishing of the monuments of Idolatry, they agree so far with the Brownists, that they will not name the days of the week, the months of the year, the places of meeting after the ordinary manner; yet they make no scruple to use the Churches builded [sic] in the time of Popery, nor of Bells though invented by a Pope, and baptized with all the Popish Superstition; how this doth stand with their principles, I do not well know, especially with their practice about another circumstance, the Church-maintenance.

For the reference, see:


N.B. I am not saying that Robert Baillie is correct on this point. It seems unlikely that the Independents at the Westminster Assembly, for example, would have gone that far.
