John7:13-19

Verſe 13. For fear of the Jews] Who had made an order (it ſeems) ſomewhat like that of the Jeſuites edict at Dola in the Countrey of Burgundy, that for prevention of hereſie, no man ſhould ſpeak of God, either in good ſort, or bad. This the Jewes did, 1. Heylin Geo. pag. 125. To ſave themſelves a labour of confuting our Saviours doctrine. 2. To perſwade the people that it was ſuch horrible blaſphemy, as was not fit to be named. So the Papiſts debar the people all ſound of the Religion, in prohibiting the books of the rformed Writers, and hiding their own Treatiſes, wherin the Tenet of the Proteſtants is recited, only to be confuted: Heyl. Geog. pag. 189. ſo that you ſhall ſeldome in all Italy meet with Bellarmines works, or any of the like nature to be ſold.
