Division, the great danger thereof. [ 1173]
IF two ships at sea, being of one and the same squadron, shall be scattered by
storm from each other, how shall they come in to the relief of each other? If
again they clash together, and fall foul, how shall the one endanger the other, and
her self too? It was of old the Dutch device, of two earthen Pots swimming up∣on
the water, with this Motto, Pra••gimur si collidimur, If we knock together, we
sink together. And most true it is, that if spleen or discontent set us too far one from
another, or choller and anger bring us too near, it cannot be, but that intendment
or designe, whatsoever it be, like Ionah's gourd, shall perish in a moment,
especially, if the viperous and hatefull worm of dissention, do but smite it.
