The reformed churches shapen much neerer y^e primitive patterne then England, for they cashered y^e Bishops w^ith al their courts, cannons, and ceremoneis, at the first; and left them amongst y^e popish tr.... to [=c]h w^ch they pertained. (The last word in the note is uncertain in the MS.)

NOTE.--O sacred bond, whilst inviollably preserved! how sweete and precious were the fruits that flowed from y^e same, but when this fidelity decayed, then their ruine approached. O that these anciente members had not dyed, or been dissipated, (if it had been the will of God) or els that this holy care and constante faithfullnes had still lived, and remained with those that survived, and were in times afterwards added unto them. But (alass) that subtill serpente hath slylie wound in himselfe under faire pretences of necessitie and y^e like, to untwiste these sacred bonds and tyes, and as it were insensibly by degrees to dissolve, or in a great measure to weaken, y^e same. I have been happy, in my first times, to see, and with much comforte to injoye, the blessed fruits of this sweete communion, but it is now a parte of my miserie in old age, to find and feele y^e decay and wante therof (in a great measure), and with greefe and sorrow of hart to lamente & bewaile y^e same. And for others warning and admonnition, and my owne humiliation, doe I hear note y^e same.

Bishops.
