ON CHURCH LIFE.

Chapter iv. 1–16.

“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.
