It is not for their religion that I hate and distrust the Papists.

I know little about matters of controversy.

I meddle not in things too high for me.

But I hate them for their subtlety, their deceitful ways, their lying, and their fraud.

Thou knowest how they schemed and plotted the death of good Queen Bess; we citizens of London find it hard to forgive them that! We love not the son of this same Mary Stuart, whom of old the Papists strove to give us for our Queen; yet he is our lawful King, accepted by the nation as our sovereign; and failing him I know not whom we might choose to reign over us.
Wherefore say I, Down with these schemers and plotters! If men wish their grievances redressed, let them work in the light and not in the dark.
