was always ready to succour those of his contemporary bishops and rectors , who justly regarded preaching as one of their duties , but whose zeal God had not

N > . CLXXXL Protestant Persecution * Warburton ( Discourses on Church Authority , ) describes the infirmities of the first reformers in the most animated languages " The
spirit of persecution (< ays he ) has a marvellous malignity in its nature : so that when every other iniquity of papal power had now been detected and expelled , this still stuck behind . There is scarce
a material error in the Church of Rome , which doth not sooth or cherish some of our corrupt passions and prejudices . But persecution flatters them alh Jt
flatters our spiritual pride , the vanity of superior knowledge and a purer faith . It confirms our bigotry , the mistaken zeal for the honour
of God and holy church ; and it supports our ambition , the itch for mastery and misrule . Were it not for so powerful a bias , this iniquity which had most embittered the thraldom of our first
reformers , and kept th ^ m longest in their chains , must on their first deliverance have been immediately detected and marked out for exe"cration .
