Jeremiah6:15
Ver. 15. Were they at all aſhamed] Their ſhameleſneſs was no ſmall aggravation of their ſin: Ita licet mult as abominationes commiſerunt Papiſtae ſine verecundia, verecundari tamen non poſſunt, ſaith Dr. John Raynols. De idololat. Rom. p. 85. Papiſts are frontleſs and ſhameleſs. Dr. Story for inſtance: I ſee nothing (ſaid he before the Parliament in the beginning of Queen Elizabeth) to be aſhamed of, ſo leſs I ſee to be ſorry for: but rather becauſe I have done no more, &c. wherein he ſaid there was no default in him but in the higher powers, who much againſt his mind, had laboured only about the young and little ſprigs, and twigs, whiles they ſhould have ſtruck at the root and rooted it out: meaning thereby the Lady Elizabeth, whom alſo he afterwards dayly curſed in his grace afore meat. And concerning his perſecuting and burning the Proteſtants,Act. & Mon. f. 1925. he denyed not but that he was once at the burning of an herewig (for ſo he termed it) at Ʋxbridge (Mr. Denley Martyr) where he toſſed a faggot at his face, as he was ſinging Pſalmes, and ſet a wine-buſh of thornes under his feet, a little to prick him, &c.
