And though Heaven and Earth should happen to be mingled together, yet the sincere worship of God and his sacred Trueth, wherein eternal Salvation is laid up for us, should irorthily be unto us of more estimation then a hundred worlds, saith hCalvin. iJohn Fox judgeth it better, to contend against those who prefer their own Traditions to the Commandments of God, then to be at peace with them. True it is,—Pax optima rerum, Quas homini novisse datum est.—Yet I trust, we may use the words of that great Adiap•orist kGeorgius Cassander. Ea demum vera, &c. That alone (saith he) is true and solid Christian Peace, which is conjoined with the glory of God, and the obedience of his will, and is sejoyned from all depravation of the Heavenly Doctrine and divine worship.
