From whence, he raises this doctrine, that "there is a Spirit of Singularity in the Saints of GOD: but let the righteous" a doctrine, I will warrant him!

There is always to be found in wickedness a detestable ambition of gaining proselytes: every man who has suffered himself to be corrupted, is desirous to hide himself from infamy in crowds as vitious as himself, or desires companions in wickedness from the same natural inclination to society, which prompts almost every man to avoid singularity on other occasions.
