Not content to abuse each other by word of mouth, they some- times scolded in writing, and every reverend father CREEDS AND CONFESSIONS OF FAITH. 235 drew up a petition against other reverend fathers, in language more suitable for Billingsgate than for the church. Sometimes, not satisfied with volleys of scurrility, unheard of in assemblies of gentle- men, they had recourse to club-law, and made good their inventions and distinctions with blows and blood. If the truth could not be discovered by... scolding, contradiction, and battering, it was not found out at all. Thus, any emperor or pope might have what creed he pleased, provided he would be at the pains and price of it ; and for the rest of mankind, they had this short choice to comply, or be undone ! 236 CHAP. XX. THE CLEARNESS OF SCRIPTURE.
