Is it a sign of a fool to agree with one's adversary while we are in the way with him, even before he delivereth us to the judge? Yea, it is a piece of the highest wisdom. Is he a fool that chooseth for himself long lasters, or he whose best things will rot in a day? The Lord is his rock, his defence, his refuge, his high tower, unto which he doth continually resort.

And doth not the present state of the world confirm these expectations? The catholic religion hath been declining for several ages.
