A moral prognostication I. what shall befall the churches on Earth, till their concord

77. By this Enmity and Opposition against each other, both Parties will increase in Wrath, and somewhere in ⟨p. 16⟩Numbers. The Worldly Afflicting Clergy will multiply not only such as are disaffected to them, but downright Fanatics, and Sectaries that will run as far from them as they can, into contrary Extremes. For when they are once brought into a distaste of the old Hive, the Bees will hardly gather into one new one; but will divide into several Swarms and Hives. As every Mans Zeal is more against the Afflicting party; so he will go further from them: Some to be Separatists, some Anabaptists, some Antinomians, some Seekers, some Quakers, and some to they know not what themselves.
