246: Mr. N E A L's IP Vol. of the bleffed Reformation: A Government admired (I fpeak it knowingly) by the Learnedeft of the Reformed Churches abroad ; and laftly, a Go- ' vernment under which (till thefe late Years) this, ' Church bath fo flourifhed and frudtifi.ed. That fuch a Government, fuch a Fundtion, Ihould at the Fag-end of 1640 Years, be found to have fuch a clofe Devil in it, as no Power can exorcife, no Law reftrain, appears to me a thing very im- ' probable. I profefs, I am deceiv'd if Triennial í- Parliaments will not be a Circle, able to keep many, a worfe Devil in order.' Neal, p. 428. Surely theBops mull have Z?eha'u'd very ill in the late 'limes, that their very heft .friends, could load then withfuch Reproaches.
