The Romanists since think they can take in Christ for a God, and yet divide between him and other gods; their Religion is made up of divisions between God and their graven Images; between Christ the Mediator, and Saints and Angels; between the Word, and their own Traditions; between Divine Institutions, and Humane Inventions.

1 King. 18. 21. Why halt ye between two opinions? We must not be voluntary Cripples to halt between two. Why are you dismembered in your hearts and your opinions? so Josephus in his History mentioning that place. That is observable, when the Prophet put that question to them, the Text saith, The people held their peace, their mouths were stopped, they had not a word to say for themselves. If any thing be pretended for this dividing, it is that trouble may be prevented: exactness in Religion, through Reformation, giving up our selves wholly to God and his truth, hath a show of bringing much trouble with it. Hence men wind and shift about, and do what they do by halves.
