There is only one antodote to such foolishness ... the true Word of God established in our hearts by the Spirit of Christ Himself.
Simple ones, who have some taste and relish of popish superstition (for many such there be in the land), do suck from the intoxicated drugs of conformity, the softer milk which makes them grow in error. And who can be ignorant what a large-spread Popery, Arminianism, and reconciliation with Rome, have taken among the arch-urgers of the ceremonies? What marvel that Papists clap their hands? for they see the day coming which they wish for. Woe to thee, O land, which bears professed Papists and avouched Atheists, but cannot bear them who desire to abstain from all appearance of evil (1 Thess. 5:22); for truth and equity are fallen in thee, and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey (Isa. 59:14, 15). (George Gillespie, English Popish Ceremonies: TO ALL IN THE REFORMED CHURCHES)Christ alone is the head of His Church, not the "bishop of Rome" or any such pretender.
Maybe it’s time the WCF reinstates the part about the Pope....
