There goes slovenly Faction, like a mal content, that with incendiary scruples labours to divide Judah from Israel. It was a strange doom, that Valens the Emperor gave against Procopius; causing him to be tied to two great trees bowed forcibly together, and so his body to be pulled asunder, that would have pulled asunder the body of the Empire. The Humorists thrust themselves into this throng, or else I would have spared them, and that for loves sake: but truth of love must not prejudice ⟨p. 55⟩love of Trueth. If they had as Imperative tongues, and Potential hands as they have Optative minds, they would keep an Infinitive stir in the lacerated Church. God sees the malicious Jesuit calling up a Parliament of Devils, to plot treasons. He hears their damnable consultations: and observes them, whiles they apparel blood-red murder, and black conspiracy, in the white robes of Religion. He saw Garnet plotting in his study; and Faulx digging in the vault; and meant to make the pit, which they digged for others, swallow themselves.
