I need not by Art divide these words, for they are divided by nature. Now as Quae Deus coniunxit, nemo separet, Those things that God hath joined together, let no man put asunder: so Quae Deus separavit, nemo coniungat, Those things that God hath put asunder, let no man join together. The scope of the Text, and the matter of my Discourse, is to separate Idols from the ⟨p. 3⟩Temple of God; the holy Ghost hath divided them to my hands: they cannot agree in his sentence, let them never agree in our practise: cursed is he that goes about to compound this controversy. The Temple is holy, Idols profane; it is not lawful to mix Sacra profanis. The Temple is for God, Idols for the Devil: God and the Devil admit no reconciliation. Therefore as two hostile nations, after some treaty of peace, neither liking the proposed conditions, break off in a rage, In hoc uterque consentimus, quòd consentire nolumus, in this we both consent, that we will not consent at all; so be it here agreed, that no agreement can be made. In composing differences betwixt man and man, betwixt family and family, betwixt kingdom and kingdom, Beati Pacifici, Blessed are the Peace makers. But in reconciling Christ and Belial, the Temple of God and Idols, Maledicti pacifici, Cursed are the peace-makers. Here Bella geri placeat magnos habitura triumphos. God himself in Paradise did first put the quarrel, his Apostle hath here given the Alarm, and he deserves a malediction that sounds a retreat.
I need not by Art diuide these words, for they are diuided by nature. Now as Quae Deus coniunxit, nemo separet, Those things that God hath ioyned together, let no man put asunder: so Quae Deus separauit, nemo coniungat, Those things that God hath put asunder, let no man ioyne together. The scope of the Text, and the matter of my Discourse, is to separate Idols from the ⟨p. 3⟩Temple of God; the holy Ghost hath diuided them to my hands: they cannot agree in his sentence, let them neuer agree in our practise: cursed is hee that goes about to compound this controuersie. The Temple is holy, Idols prophane; it is not lawfull to mixe Sacra profanis. The Temple is for God, Idols for the Deuill: God and the Deuill admit no reconciliation. Therefore as two hostile nations, after some treatie of peace, neither liking the proposed conditions, breake off in a rage, In hoc vterque consentimus, quòd consentire nolumus, in this we both consent, that we wil not consent at all; so be it heere agreed, that no agreement can bee made. In composing differences betwixt man and man, betwixt family and family, betwixt kingdome and kingdome, Beati Pacifici, Blessed are the Peace makers. But in reconciling Christ and Behal, the Temple of God and Idols, Maledicti pacifici, Cursed are the peace-makers. Heere Bella geri placeat magnos habitura triumphos. God himselfe in Paradise did first put the quarrell, his Apostle hath heere giuen the Alarme, and hee deserues a malediction that sounds a retreat.
