But is it only the old Bishops, Greeks and Papists, that have made such havoc in the Churches? Even those that pretended to moderation did by the German Interim make many hundred Churches desolate. And the ten years imprisonment of Caspar Peucer (vid. Histor. Carcer.) and the silencing of many and many faithful Ministers, and the banishment of many, doth show with what Spirit, many of the Lutherans carried on their work. And doubtless, had the Calvinists in Belgia been as wise and peaceable as the English Delegates were at the Synod of Dort, and been as far from Tyranny as they should have been, matters had never come so oft to Blood or Tumult among them as they have done, nor Grotius and the Arminians had so much to say against them. I will not meddle with the matters of this Island in our times, seeing they sufficiently speak themselves.
