NOTE
The not attending to this circumstance, has been
an error common to almost all Reformers,
and has betray'd them into mismanagements a course,
that more than any thing have contributed
to lessen the benefits and at the same time oppose the progress
of Reformation. Our Hen. 8th suppressed
the Monasteries. The measure in itself was
excellent. But he reduced the inhabitants of
them to beggary: in which he which was committed
an act of atrocious and unnecessary cruelty. In our own They
times Within a few years we have seen the
order of the Jesuits suppressed in by in almost every
nation Government state in Europe which it had footing. This
was in itself a glorious and salutary reformation.
But was care taken every where
to continue the individuals in the same plight
they in point of subsistence they were in before?
I fear, not anywhere. I fear the provision
was upon the whole so inadequate, that for
many years probably the mischief of the
measure will be greater than the benefit. In
time indeed those unhappy victims of state-policy
will die off; and at last the benefit
ought might and as far as depended upon money
ought to have stood clear from the beginning.
