Notes vpon the foresayd exhortation.
1Princes which exhort to concord and charity, do well, but Princes which seek out the causes of discord, & reform the same, do much better: The papist and protestant Heretic, and Pharisee, the old Mumpsimus, and the new Sumpsimus, be te•mes of variance and dissension, and be (I grant) Symtomata, of a sore wound in the common wealth but he that will amend this wound must first begin to search out the causes, and to purge the occasion thereof: otherwise to cure the sore outwardly, which inwardly doth fester and rankle still, it is but vain.
