Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Principal Points of Difference, Real or Imaginary, Between the Two Churches But such is the lot of all that deal in public affairs, whether of church or commonwealth, that which men list to surmise of their doings, be it good or ill, they must, beforehand, arm their minds to endure. Wherefore to let go private surmises, whereby the thing in itself is not made either better or worse, if just and allowable reasons might lead them to do as they did, then are these censures all frustrate. - Hooker, Book 4, sect. 14. Thus the poor Hugonots of France were engaged in a civil war by the specious pretences of some who, under the guise of religion, sacrificed so many thousand lives to their own ambition and revenge. Thus was the whole body of Puritans in England drawn to be instruments or abettors of all manner of villainy by the artifices of a few men whose designs from the first were levelled to destroy the constitution both of religion and government. - Swift, Sentiments of a Church of England Man. Let any man examine a reasonable honest man of either side upon those opinions in religion and government which both parties daily buffet each other about, he shall hardly find one material pint of difference between them. - Swift, Evanescent, No. 15.
