Epiphanius would not that Christians should have any Byname. Let the Nick-name of Zwinglians and Calvinists then cease, the Marks rather of Faction, then of Brotherly Union. What should we have to do with Luther? What should we have to do with Calvin? We Profess the Gospel, we Believe the Gospel. Bellarmine somewhere hath a Catalogue of a great many Kingdoms that fell off from the Papacy: whose defection from the Mystery of Iniquity, if it hath troubled the Cardinals of Rome, how much more would their Uniting together in the Mystery of Piety, be a terror to the Roman Party? When the truly holy League shall wholly stand for the Lamb; when Humane Endeavours and Dissensions being laid aside, they shall only intend that one thing, to afford their mutual help for the promoting of Religion; when they shall unanimously carry on the war of the Lord against the Whore, as if they were endued with the very Spirit of the Revelation; when they shall be called neither English, nor Dutch, nor Swedes, nor Danes, but only Christians.
