Divisions in Church and State to be prevented. [ 1622]

TAcitus in the life of Agricola his Father in Law,* 1.1 describing the figure, form, fashion, complexion, chivalry and resolution of the Britai••s in that time, observeth this also, that they were then drawn into petty partialities and factions; and the greatest help the Romans had, adversus validissimas gentes (as he calls our Warlike Nation) was, that they had no Common-Councell, they did not cons••lt together, but each City fought against their Neighbours, Et ita dum singuli pugnant, universi vincuntur (they are his own words) whilest one by one sighteth, all are subdued: And it is much to be feared, that the Romans are again entring our Land, they expect an advantagious succ••sse by our home-bred factions and divisions,* 1.2 so that the Pope may well be said, never to have had hopes of a greater harvest in England; For, how can it otherwise be? How shall the Church of Christ, the body of Christ, the houshold of Faith, the King∣dome of Heaven upon earth stand, if there be so many Sizers and Concisors, and cutters and carvers of her Members.
