Master Calvin in his Epistle to our Countrymen at Frankford,1 fled for their lives in witness to the truth, yet miserably jarring and contending one against another there, to the scandal of all the Churches of God in those parts, begins his Epistle thus: This doth grievously torment me; it is extremely absurd that dissentions should arise amongst brethren, exiles, fled from their country for the same faith, and for that cause which alone in this your scattering, ought to be to you as a holy band, to keep you fast bound together. Their contentions were about Church-worship.
