besides the disordered orders of the Camaldulenses, the Cistertienses, the Basilyenses, the Hieronimites, the Tertiaris, the servants of saint Mary, the Lazarytes, the Magdalenytes, the Whylhelmites, the Ambrosians, ⟨image 88⟩the Specularis, the Chalomerians, the Johannites, the Celestines, the brothers of purgatory, the brothers of the holy cross, the brothers of the vale of Josophat, the Carmelites, the Carthusians, the Hierosolimites, the Indians the Ninevites, the Constantinopolitans with an innumerable rabble of Hypocrites more, papists, Heretics, Schismatics, Anabaptists, Sacramentaries Libertines, & such other dunghills of Satan, which to much wretchedly have divided, rent & torn in pieces the quiet unity and friendly concord of thy holy religion, while they have imagined and taken upon them new sects, and new orders, and by thee trifling observances of them, seek justification, remission of since, and everlasting life, forsaking thee, which art the fountain ⟨p. lxxiii⟩of lively water, & digging them miry and dirty puddles that are able to hold no water.1 O Lord, as this division nourisheth continual discord and enmity among the professors of thy name: so do they that unfeignedly cleave to thy blessed word, sorrowfully lament, that thy glory, thy truth, thy word, thy passion, thy blood, thy death, is through these idolatrous imaginations defaced, obscured, and almost utterly quenched, in so much that if thou haddest not reserved unto the a remnant,2 which have not bowed their knees to Baal, we all had ben as Sodom, and might justly have been likened to Gomorrah. O blessed Lord, let very pity move the to have compassion upon thy poor troubled flock. Let the zeal of thy glory provoke the to tread under thy foot all these ⟨image 89⟩Sectaries, and Antichrists, that thou alone mayest be known among all nations to be the only true and living God. Ah most gentle saviour,3 there is but one lord one faith one baptism, one God, one father▪ one master, one body, one spirit•, one hope, one truth, one gospel▪ how unseemly then is it for us that profess this unity to be divided in religion▪ one to be of this order, another to be of that, one to maintain this doctrine, another the contrary.
