Chapter iv · 1–16.
Reading edition
“It is good we return unto the ancient bond of unity in the Church of God, which was one faith, one baptism, and not one hierarchy, one discipline; and that we observe the league of Christians, as it was penned by our Saviour Christ, which is in substance of doctrine this: He that is not with us is against us; and in things indifferent and but of circumstance this: He that is not against us is with us.”—Lord Bacon: Certain Considerations touching the better Pacification and Edification of the Church of England, addressed to King James I.
