This rule is equally strong for all sides too stiffe to recant or yeeld to others judgements and this same rule must patronize as many opinions sects as the various fancies of men busied in Scripture can invent or suggest thus naturally flowes from this rule of Reformation not onely diversity of opinions various judgements and opposite Doctrines but strong and numerous parties that cry up such a man for their Apostle or imbrace such an opinion for their Faith severall bodies of considerable strength whose obligations are the defence of such opinions New and severall interests whereby every one studies their owne preservations and upholdings though never so contrary to each other or destructive to the Government where they live so that those who in a contemplative way and abstracted consideraon did but lately talke of the purity of the Gospel of light and truth finde themselves by and by plunged in all practises turbulent seditious unjust oppressive A wrong principle in the understanding doth not onely multiply notionall absurdities but begets and produces sinister actions these numbers of men of severall perswasions and Doctrines comes to be variously planted and spread in severall Countries and Governments whether brought in by way of Traffick negotiating one with another or that such men being banished their own Countries they sow their ill seed in others Provinces or whether the errors be native and sprung up there or that as infection they catch and spred by way of example and imitation yet thus the world becomes to be blended and the subjects in all sorts of Governments get a new Primum mobile to their Allegiance and duty and instead of intending the good of the community where they live they are busied in the advancing of that body which for conformity and holding the same Tenents with them they become concerned in so that if in one Government a sort of them be opprest for their seditious practises presently in all others those of the same opinion are alarumed so that Governors streight finde their Laws silent distractions multiplying and none secured of their owne subjects who doe either profusely throw away on their confederates that treasure and mony which should be the support of their own Country or if those opinions have taken hold of active and generous spirits which endevour still to make others of the same opinion with them presently they expect Forraine ayde and help to change their proper policies and Governors Then through the innate reverence that all people beare to the opinion of Divinity beleeving that the spirit moves upon the Face of their Preachers watry discourses they become powerfull like the winds to make the people as the Sea swell and become unpeaceable whilst each bandies against other and all against the State thus are all the veins of Christendome fil'd with these unwholesome and noxious humors whilst Ambition and Heresie often shake hands together for Ambition seeks but under any pretence to procure the affections and services of men and to apply them to their owne uses and now so great bodies of men wanting but countenance and great persons to be their head and encourage them these two
