Ezekiel36:20
Ver. 20. Theſe are the people of the Lord] And theſe are the fruits of their religion. Are theſe the holy people? &c. Lactantius complaineth of his times, Lactant. de opific. Dei. pr[illegible: 1 letter]aem. Eraſm. in Lactant. that Gods Truth was evil ſpoken of by the Heathen, becauſe Chriſtians lived looſly and leudly. Whereupon Eraſmus cryeth out, O rem miſeram! Oh lamentable! Even in thoſe purer times the piety of Chriſtians was ſo much abated, that the Goſpel was therefore evil ſpoken of, for the evil lives of many that profeſſed it. What marvel then, ſaith he, that Turkes cry out upon us? that the banks of blaſphemy are broken down in perſons diſaffected to the power of godlineſs?
