Now they break this bond of the Churches Ʋnity, that live out of this hope of the Church, whose hope is in earthly, carnal, base things; who pretending to be Christians, yet live onely in the hopes of men, in hopes of worldly profit, honour, preferment, and the attaining and enjoyment of the things of this life, which they, according to the eagerness of their hopes, prosecute mightily, by all ways and means. These men, I say, break the Ʋnity of the Church: for what true Ʋnity can they have with the true Church, that live not in unity of hope with it? Seeing worldly hopes carry men one way, and the hopes of Believers carry them another: car∣nal hopes make men leave God for the world; and the hope of Saints make them leave the world for God: Wherefore they that differ in their hopes, which are their ends, must needs differ in their ways and works; and so he that lives out of the hope of the Church, lives also out of the unity of it.
