Unity we love, & Honour it, as the greatest comfort of Christian hearts. But if Unity be the only, and undoubted token of the Church of God, woe then be to you, and to your fellows. For by that token, agreeing so il amongst your selves, ye should seem to have no Church.

But, as we have said, Al they, that agree together, are not therefore evermore of the Church.1 Herod, and Pilate were made friends, and agreed together. David saith, The Kings and Princes of the earth have met, & agreed together against the Lord, and against his Christ. S. John saith of the friends,2 and favourers of Antichrist, Hi unum Consilium habent, & vires, ac potestatem suam tradent Bestiae: hi pugnabunt cum Agno: These shall have all one Counsel (and one Mind): and shall deliver over their strength, and their power unto the Beast: and shall fight against the Lamb.
But, as wee haue saide, Al thei, that agree togeather, are not therefore euermore of the Churche.1 Herode, and Pilate were made frendes, and agreed togeather. Dauid saithe, The Kinges and Princes of the earthe haue mette, & agreed togeather againste the Lorde, and againste his Christe. S. Iohn saithe of the frendes,2 and fauourers of Antichriste, Hi vnum Consilium habent, & vires, ac potestatem suam tradent Bestiae: hi pugnabunt cum Agno: These shal haue al one Counsel (and one Minde): and shal deliuer ouer their strength, and their power vnto the Beaste: and shal fight against the Lambe.
