This I know, that a Returnal unto R•me will not do it; unless when we come thither, we can learn to behave our selves better, then those do, who are there already; and there is indeed no party of men in the world, but can give us as good security of ending our differences as the Romanists.

This is the language of every Party; and for my part I think they believe what they say; Come over to us, and we shall all agree. Only the Romanists are likely to obtain least credit as to this matter among wise men, because they cannot agree among themselves; and are as unfit to umpire the differences of other men, as Philip of Macedon was to quiet Greece, whilst he, his wife and children▪ were together by the ears at home.
