           dead

           once
           was

             Rome
             ?
          
           Alas
           ,
           what
           do
           you
           meane
           ,
           in
           your
           observing
           the
           Popish
           Mass-dayes
           ,
           in
           observing
           
             Christmas
             ,
          
           as
           you
           call
           it
           .
           I
           had
           thought
           that
           spirit
           had
           been
           banished
           ;
           And
           I
           looked
           e're
           this
           ,
           that
           observing
           of
           dayes
           would
           have
           been
           quite
           extinguished
           ;
           and
           I
           hoped
           that
           your
           mindes
           and
           hearts
           would
           have
           enclined
           to
           better
           things
           ,
           and
           would
           wholly
           have
           forgotten
           and
           left
           off
           all
           your
           superstitious
           practices
           ,
           which
           had
           any
           foundation
           or
           savour
           of
           the
           Popish
           Church
           .
           But
           alas
           ,
           I
           see
           your
           zeal
           for
           God
           is
           grown
           dead
           ,
           and
           the
           spirit
           of
           Idolatry
           cleaves
           fast
           unto
           you
           ;
           even
           so
           fast
           is
           it
           seated
           in
           your
           hearts
           ,
           that
           an
           Act
           of
           Parliament
           ,
           or

           outward
           teaching
           or
           profession
           can

           you
           from
           Idolatry
           ;
           and
           I
           perceive
           there
           is
           nothing
           till
           the

           judgement
           of
           God
           fall
           among
           you
           ,
           because
           of
           your
           sins
           that
           can
           worke
           out
           of
           your
           hearts
           ,
           the
           spirit
           that
           runs
           after
           Idols
           .
           You
           seem
           to
           be
           joyned
           to
           Idols
           ,
           as
           if
           an
           Idol
           were
           your
           God
           ;
           is
           not
           this
           idolatry
           ?
           As
           if
           you
           kept
           dayes
           wholly
           to
           the
           Lord
           ,
           you
           keep
           your
           Shops
           shut
           ,
           and
           you
           forbear
           all
           manner
           of
           worke
           ,
           and
           you
           put
           on
           your
           fine
           apparell
           ;
           and
           yet
           you
           go
           into
           vanity
           ,
           into
           pride
           and
           wantonnesse
           ,
           and
           commits
           great
           wickednesse
           in
           the
           sight
           of
           God
           ,
           in

           in

           and
           all
           this
           is

           .
           And
           thus
           you
           keep

           you
           call
           them
           ,
           spending
           your
           time
           in

             Christmas
             ,
          
           and
           ye
           are
           greatly
           offended
           at
           them
           that

           cries
           against

           Therefore
           repent
           ye
           Idolaters
           ,
           the
           time
           is
           at
           hand
           when
           the
           Lord
           will
           overturn
           ,
           and
           overthrow
           all
           your
           idolatrous
           wayes
           ,
           and
           practices
           .
           As
           for
           the
           
             Quakers
             ,
          
           they
           feare
           God
           ,
           and
           they
           dare
           not
           joyne
           with
           you
           in
           these
           abominations
           ;
           and
           therefore
           you
           despise
           them
           ,
           and
           say
           in
           your
           hearts
           ,
           who
           shall
           controul
           you
           ;
           for
           these
           things
           will
           ye
           do
           ,
           and
           none
           shall
           prevent
           you
           .
           And
           thus
           is
           the
           Popish
           spirit
           of
           Idolatry
           shewed
           forth
           in

           and
           thy
           reformed
           peeople
           are
           guilty
           of
           Popish
           superstitions
           and
           vain
           idolatries

           till
           the
           judgements

           upon
           you
