The Dominicans abridge mans free-will, the Jesuits contradict this: this quarrel fills the world with books. The truth is, there are more differences of faith in the Romish religion, than in all the world besides.^z A reverend Divine of ours hath collected from Bellarmines own pen, many hundred differences among them; yet these men boast their unity of Faith. But as no unity is so strong as that Fidei, of faith: so no dissension so violent as that fideûm, of different faiths. Faith is a whet-stone that gives edge to the instruments of war.

1. zDoct. Hall, the Peace of Rome.

The Papists on the left hand: Their Divines conclude that none of us can be saved; one heaven cannot hold the Pope and Calvin. Some of ours say so of them: if Rome be Babylon, then all that have the mark of the Beast, must burn in hell. So plainly, Revel. 19.20. They instance in many particulars, wherein the Roman Church doth raze the foundation. Therefore they say, Babylon will be served, as she wished to Jerusalem, Psal. 137. She cried of that City, Raze it, Raze it, even to the foundation: her reward shall be proportionate; her little ones shall be dashed against the stones. But this may be too far on both sides; a Fever of zeal.
