The Protestant was to turn Papist, not so much in fear of the heretic's hell, as on account of the comfort, the indulgence, the tenderness Holy Church offered: far be it from her to threaten or to coerce; her wish was to guide and win.

This was not on religious grounds; it was because of "blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus," in the prayer.
