Should a man go to him, and say, Sir, I have read your learned Book, and find that heats, and contests, about differences in Religion are things full of evil, and such as tend unto further misery; I am therefore resolved quietly to persist in the way of Protestancy wherein I am, without ever attempting the least violence against others for their dissent from me, but only with meekness and quietness defend the Truth which I profess; I presume, he will not judge his design half accomplished towards such a man, if at all. Nay, I dare say with some confidence, that in reference to such a one, he would say to himself, Op•ram & Oleum p•rdidi. And therefore doth he wisely tell us, pag. 12. that his matter is perceived by the prefixed ⟨p. 113⟩general Contents of his Chapters, his Design which he calls his Method, he confesseth that he doth purposely conceal. But the truth is, it is easily discoverable, there being few pages in the Book, that do not display it.
