It is true, when a bone is out of joint, there is much pain; but if the care be not of setting it right, the very 1setting will breed much more pain: There is much disturbance, but it is only the breaking out of what hath lain in the plots and secret workings of our adversaries ⟨p. 61⟩a long time. It was once the speech of Lysander, that if the Lyons skin will not serve, we must 2help it with the Foxes; Contrary now it is with our adversaries; The Foxes would not do the deed, and therefore now they put on the Lyons. It is well for us that things break out, when there may be help to resist; our condition was as dangerous, though not so troublesome before; now our disturbance is but the noise of resisting, a deluge of evil that was flowing in upon us: That man certainly is not a wise man that is not willing the floods coming in upon him should not be stopped, because the stopping of them will make a noise.
