Such were the nocturnal revelations, with which some of the first reformers were honoured, and I think now, you will not be surprised at the following character, which is given _them_, and the _other_ reformers, _even_ by _Protestant_ testimony. Zanchius, the celebrated Protestant professor, thus complains of the conduct of his _reforming Protestant_ colleagues: "I am indignant, when I consider the manner, in which most of us defend our cause. The _true_ state of the question we often, on _set_ purpose, involve in _darkness_, that it may not be _understood_; we have the impudence, to _deny_ things the _most evident_: we _assert_ what is _visibly_ false: the most _impious_ doctrines, we _force_ on the people as the _first_ principles of _faith_, and _orthodox_ (true) opinions, we condemn as _heretical_: we _torture_ the Scriptures, until they agree with our _own_ fancies, and boast of being the _disciples_ of the _fathers_, while we refuse _to follow their_ doctrines: _to deceive_, _to calumniate_, _to abuse_, is our _familiar_ practice: nor do we care for anything, _provided_ we can defend our cause, _good_ or _bad_, _right_ or _wrong_. Oh what times! what manners! (Zanchius ad Stormium, tome viii. col. 828.) "But _forgery_--I blush for the _honour_ of Protestantism while I write it--seems to have been _peculiar_ to the _reformed_ * * * and I look _in vain_, _for one_ of these accursed outrages of imposition, among _the disciples_ of Popery." "But _forgery_, appears to have been the _peculiar_ disease of _Protestantism_."--(_Vindication of Mary, Queen of Scots_, vol. iii. p. 2 and 53. _By the Rev. John Whitaker, B.D., Rector of Ruan Langhorne, Cornwall._) You have now seen, who was the instructor of _some_ of the first Reformers, and the two above passages (_mind, from Protestants_,) must convince you, that _they_ and _their_ reforming Protestant colleagues, appear to have been apt scholars of this master of lies. Well, I have shown you now, the character of the spiritual chemists of the Reformation. I will now show you, some of the wonderful _spiritual_ works, of some of their _supernatural_, and chemical hands.
