ACCUSATION.

As to the disorders in the worship of God which are pointed at in the
said letter, it appears as if my Lord of London knew not that his Commissary
is more apt to countenance than redress the same; for I myself
have seen him present in church while a layman—his clerk—has read
the divine service in the congregation,—he himself vouchsafing to perform
no more of his ministerial office than to pronounce the absolution, preach,
and dismiss the congregation.
