Description:Excerpt from The Works of Symon Patrick, D. D, Vol. 6 of 9: Sometime Bishop of Ely; Including His Autobiography Let any man attempt to apply a remedy to these mischiefs, bv making a plain discovery of such mistakes; presently a terrible per secution is raised against him, and a troop, or army lather, of enraged zealots not only assault and wound, but endeavour to de stroy his reputation. Though his words he never so plain and easy to be understood, though the composition of his discourse be perspi cuons, and though he express in so many words, out of the holy Scriptures, what solid and true religion is yet he shall be voted an enemy to it, an instrument of Satan, an underminer of all practical godliness, (so they have learnt to call praying and discoursing about good things, and such like matters.) H e whose religion only alters the countenance, and busies himself in composing the face, and ordering the postures of the head, shall sooner be believed, though he pour out an hundred lies; than that well-designing person who studies to bridle his tongue, to speak nothing but the truth, and to order his life according to the will of God. These shall all be dis paraged and vilified by an empty and talkative devotion, which shall be preferred much before them. You may think this to be scarce credible; but when you consider the ignorance of some, the weakness of other men's natural parts, the naughty affections that most are possessed withal, and bring along with them to the reading of books, even of the holv Scrip tures; and how truth itself was rejected when it came in person into the world, and the sacred volumes have been so wrested that the absurdest fictions have been made out of them, you will not wonder that a pious discourse meets with this bad entertainment. Either men consider not that some truths lie deep, and must be drawn up with a great deal of labour; or they have not indifferent minds, but suffer their desires and wishes to form their opinions for them.
