lacie and the Book of Common Prayer (although
strongly rooted in standing Lawes;) and who enclined the Parliament of
_England_ to owne no other Church Government but the Presbyterial, (Though
it bee not yet fully settled according to the Word of God, and the example
of the best Reformed Churches) can as easily encline when hee thinks good
both the King and them, and the body of that Kingdome to a thorow and
perfect Reformation. He that made the Assemblies and Parliaments of both
Kingdomes to agree upon one directory for the Publike Worship of God, can
also when he will make an agreement in the other Parts of Uniformitie,
Confession of Faith, form of Church Government, and Catechisme; In all
which there hath beene also a good progresse made in the Reverend and
Learned Assemblie of Divines through the good hand of God so long upon
them.

Having now seen so much of God both in the beginning and progresse of this
his great Work, And his Hand having done so wondrous things for his People
in their greatest extremities of danger, and having discovered and
defeated the plots of Enemies, making them fall even by their own
Counsels; These things wee resolve to keep still fixed in our hearts, and
as memorials before our eyes, that remembring the Works of the Lord, and
the Years of the Right Hand of the most High, wee may neither want matter
of Praies and thanksgivings, nor experience to breed hope. Although the
building of the House of the Lord in _England_ be not yet, after so long
expectation, finished, and now also the work ceaseth, Yet wee doe from our
hearts blesse the Lord for the laying of the Foundation, and for so much
progresse as hath been made in the Work; Having still confidence in the
Almighty, to whom nothing is impossible or too hard, that every Mountaine
which doeth or shall stand in the way shall become a plaine, and that the
Head-stone shall bee brought forth with shoutings of Joy, _Grace, Grace
unto it._

Neverthelesse, we are also very sensible of the great and imminent dangers
into which this Common Cause of Religion is now brought by the growing and
spreading of most dangerous errours in _England_, to the obstructing &
hindering of the begun Reformation, as namely (beside many others)
Socinianisme, Arminianisme, Anabaptisme, Antinomianisme, Brownisme,
Erastianisme, Independency, and that which is called (by abuse of the
word) Liberty of Conscience, being indeed Liberty of Errour, Scandall,
Schisme, heresie,
