But we need not go to _America_, or to the Inquisition, not to Paganism or to Popery either, to look for People that are sacrificing to the _Devil_, or that give their Peace-offerings to him, while they are offer'd upon God's Altar; are not our Churches (ay, and Meeting-houses too, as much as they pretend to be more sanctified than their Neighbours) full of _Devil_ Worshipers? Where do his Devotees gratulate one another, and congratulate him, more than at Church? where, while they hold up their Hands, and turn up their Eyes towards Heaven, they make all their Vows to Satan, or at least to the fair _Devils_ his Representatives, which I shall speak of in their Place. Do not the Sons of God make Assignations with the Daughters of Men in the very House of Worship? Do they not talk to them in the Language of the Eyes? And what is at the Bottom of it, while one Eye is upon the Prayer-book, and the other adjusting their Dress? Are they not sacrificing to _Venus_ and _Mercury_, nay, and the very _Devil_ they dress at? Let any Man impartially survey the Church-Gestures, the Air, the Postures and the Behaviour; let him keep an exact Roll, and if I do not shew him two _Devil_ Worshipers for one true Saint, then the Word _Saint_ must have another Signification than I ever yet understood it by. The Church (as a Place) is the Receptacle of the Dead, as well as the Assembly of the Living; what relates to those below, I doubt Satan, if he would be so kind, could give a better Account of than I can; but as to the Superficies, I pretend to so much Penetration as to tell you, that there are more Spectres, more Apparitions always there, than you that know nothing of the matter may be aware of. I happen'd to be at an eminent Place of God's most devout Worship the other Day, with a Gentleman of my Acquaintance, who, I observed, minded very little the Business he ought to come about; first I saw him always busy staring about him and bowing this Way and that Way, nay, he made two or three bows and Scrapes when he was repeating the Responses to the Ten Commandments, and assure you he made it correspond strangely, so that the Harmony was not so broken in upon as you would expect it should; thus; _Lord_, and a Bow to a fine Lady just come up to her Seat, _have Mercy upon us_; ---- three Bows to a Throng of Ladies that came into the next Pew altogether, _and incline_ ---- then stop'd to make a great Scrape to my Lord ----, _our Hearts_, just then the Hearts of all the Church were gone off from the Subject, for the Response was over, so he huddled up the rest in Whispers, for _God a Mighty_ could hear him well enough, _he said_, nay, as well as if he had spoken as loud as his Neighbours did. After we were come home, I ask'd him what he meant by all this, and what he thought of it? How could I help it, _said he_, I must not be rude. What, _says I_, rude to who? Why, _says he_, there came in so many she _Devils_ I could not help it.
