Note 83 — Chapter I
Reading edition
"The Puritan would be judged by the Word of God; if he would speak clearly he means himself; but he is ashamed to say so, and he would have me believe him before a whole church, that has read the Word of God as well as he." Table Talk, 160.
Selden, in the same book (p. 13), while denying the divine right of bishops, maintains they "have the same right to sit in Parliament as the best Earls and Barons." Yet he signed the Covenant.
