The work concludes with this paragraph:
"Now he that hath given us all our hearts, give unto His
Majesties subjects of these nations _an heart of unity_, to
quash division and separation; _of obedience_, to quench the
fury of rebellious firebrands: and _a heart of constancy_ to the
Reformed Church of England, the better to expel Popery, and to
confound dissention. _Amen._"
The last work, with reference to the first simile of my note, which I
shall mention, is that by Zephaniah Smith, one of the leaders of the
English Antinomians:
"The Doome of Heretiques; or a Discovery of Subtle Foxes who wer
tyed Tayle to Tayle, and crept into the Church to doe Mischiefe,
&c. Lond. 1648."[1]

With regard to the second simile, see--
"The Trojan Horse, or the Presbyterian Government Unbowelled.

"Comprehension and Toleration Considered, in a Sermon on Gal.
ii. 5. By Dr. South."

representing the 'Ecclesia Anglicana.')"
The first edition was published in 1675. Thomas Tomkins, Fellow of All
Souls' College, was the author; but the two editions are anonymous.
As to the Service Book, see the curious work of George Lightbodie:
"Against the Apple of the Left Eye of Antichrist; or The
Masse-Booke of Lurking Darknesse (_The Liturgy_), making Way for
the Apple of the Right Eye of Antichrist, the Compleate
Masse-Booke of Palpable Darknesse. London. 1638. 8vo."
Baylie's _Parallel_ (before referred to) was a popular work; it was
first printed London, 1641, in 4to.; and reprinted 1641, 1642, 1646,
1661.
As to "High Church" and "Low Church," see an article in the _Edinburgh
Review_ for last October, on "Church Parties," and the following works:
