Overdoing for Unity is undoing. 271 ence ; yea of all the millions of Hones in the field, no two is perfe&ly like eachother. And where greater Unity is moil deferable ,. it muff firft be confidered how much of it is potlible, or to be hoped for , and next , what are the proper means to attain it. For firfl,the medicining ofan incurable difeafe,efpecially with violent Phyfick is not the way to make it better , but to exafpe-* rate it and hafien death; when a palliate and pats- ence mightdo better. It is very defrable;, that all the Kings fubje&s were firong , and be4n:iful and ingenuousand Learned ; but it is not to be hoped : But that they may beall Loyal, and honefi in theirdealing with others , may be well en-: deavoured. Andfecondly, a wrong kind of me= dicine will much more batten and afcettait death, than to let thedifeafe alone to nature : It is deferbble that all theKings fubje&s beas is 'aide both wifeand Learned, yea and per feel inbomb andpiety without fault : But if you make a Law that for the honour of Vníty, ail that arenot Learned and perfeti in venue 'hall be fined, impri- fonedor banifhed, the King nor his fubjeets will be but little beholden to you for their Unity. So one Language is verydeferable to the world : But firsti it is not attainable, and fecondly a Law to punih all that fpeak another Language is not the way toprocure it ; but to fet them together by the ears : You mull appoint Parents and School- mafferc to teach them all one language bydegrees; and keep them to their duties, and remove im- pediments,and thus flay the time ; and what can- rot this way he attained mull not be expated in this world. j X irk
