reverence and esteeme And from thence observe of what spirit these men are that side with honour pleade for and receive unto them such Priests of Baal of Bacchus of Priapus Doth not their affection unto and high esteeme of such uncleane beasts abundantly evince that they serve and prostitute themselves unto the same dung-hill Idols and filthy lusts and that they are all of the same Father And note further that these Libellers not only speake evill of Dignities but also of those things that they know not c Jude 8.10 they Censure the Supreame Court of Judicature themselves being Delinquents deferving the severest judgement and that without hearing them or informing themselves of what they have done notwithstanding all their acts and proceedings lie fairely of record in their Journall
