How vain then, are the endeavours to reconcile our church with that of Rome; when God hath interposed this bar, there is No agreement betwixt him and Idols? Either ⟨p. 30⟩they must receive the Temple without Idols, or we must admit Idols with the Temple, or this composition cannot be. There is a contention betwixt Spain & the Netherlanders, concerning the right of that Country: but should not the Inhabitants well fortify the coasts, the raging sea would soon determine the controversy, and by force of her waves take it from them both. There is a contestation betwixt us and the Pontificians, which is the true Church: but should not we in mean time carefully defend the Faith of Christ against Idols, Superstition would quickly decide the business, and take the possession of truth from us both. A proud & perverse stomach keeps them from yielding to us: God and his holy word forbids our yielding to them: they will have Idols or no Temple, we will have the Temple and no Idols: now till the agreement be made betwixt the Temple and Idols, no atonement can be hoped betwixt us & them.
