Iterum iterumque respiciamus illud Apostoli, Gal. V. 15. Quod si alii aliis mordetis ac exeditis; videte ne vicissim alii ab aliis consumamini. Quod ⟨image 13⟩enim Cicero de clarorum virorum discordiis dixit, id Davenantius noster de Ecclesiarum discordiis non dubitat affirmare; non alios solere esse illarum exitus, nisi aut universarum interitum, aut victricium in reliquas injustum dominatum. Valde metuendum est ne hisce diuturnis & funestis contentionibus (quod Deus avertat) suum omnes accelerent interitum. Nec dubito discordias inter pios extingui posse, quicquid in contrarium aliqui obtendunt, si quorundam mentes ab omnis suspicionis, irae, ac invidiae spumis & scoriis bene expurgatae essent: En Fratres, quam propriam tempestivamque [Greek or Hebrew] prudentissimus noster Medicus nobis omnibus hoc tempore adaptavit! det Deus effectum desideratum, Ne, Vulnus in antiquum redeat male firma cicatrix.
