EMBLEME 23.

Religion still its owne, cannot be lost,
Nor from it selfe diuorc'd, though to the most,
Who iudge by guesse and slight formality,
There might appeare schisme in Diuinity:
When not Diuinity, which cannot change,
But humane reason to schismes vild doth range:
For so the fruites of diuers plants may seeme
Diuers in quality: and men may deeme
Nature hath err'd in such a serious course,
When both consider'd be the same in force.
You, that best iudge of Schismes, can clearely see,
Error term'd Truth, and Truth term'd Heresie.
