The ruine of the Churches enemies to be desired. [ 479]

THe Landgrave of Hesse (a mild and gratious Prince, but whose clemency was much abused) being cast by adventure on a Smiths forge,* 1.1 over-heard what the Smith said all the while he was striking his Iron: Duresce, inquam du∣resce, utinam & Landgravius durescat: And truly the presumption of some a∣mongst us is such in corrupting the truth with their books, and opposing it with their heresies,* 1.2 that all true-hearted Protestants are generally of the Smiths mind, to wish those sons of Belial that flie-blow Religion, and blast the Laws of the King∣dom with their stinking breath, placing their greatest piety in the greatest mis∣chiefs they can bring to Church and Common-wealth, may feel the mettal harder, that by a just law is tempered for such kind of spirits as they are of.
