[ 1237] Ceremonies of the Church, not to be any cause of Separation.

PLiny in his natural history reporteth of Hedg-hogs, that having been abroad to provide their store, and returning home laden with nuts and fruit, if the least Filbert fall but off, they will in a pettish humour, fling down all the rest, and beat the ground for very anger with their bristles: And such is the peevish fancy of many strait-laced Christians amongst us, (such as in themselves are bells of passing good Mettall, and tuneable enough, though by the artifice of some, miserably rung out of tune) that will leave our Church, and remain obstinate for trifles and accidents, Ceremonies, things in themselves adiaphorous, indiffe∣rent, and harmlesse, that Fire hath tryed them to be but stubble and straw-con∣troversies, easie to be moderated, if Malice and Prejudice make not men irrecon∣cileable.
