[ 31$ , Mr. N. quotes a Letter from Gualter; but this Letter ofGualter's was wrotebefore that fatisfaaory Plan of King Edward was re-eßablithed. Some were afraid that Popery would have been continu- ed; others feared fomething like the Interimwould have been fet up; others, that Lutheranifm would have been ettablithed: Gualter and the foreign Di- vines feem molt afraid of the Interim: He was again( hearkening to the Counfels of ' thofe Men ' who, when they faw that Popery could not be honetily defended, nor entirely retained, would ' ufe all Artifices to have the outward Face of Re- ` ligion to remain mixt, uncertain, and doubtful ; ` fo that while an Evangelical Reformation is pre- ' tended, thefe Things Mould be obtruded on the Church, which will make the returning back to ' Popery, Supertlition arid Idolatry, very eafy."
