Conspiracies, and Insurrections, drest in these colours have been called holy Associations and Leagues: And the Ambitious, to worke the more securely on the credulity of the simple, have not onely presented evill to them growing on the Tree of Good, but have proceeded thus much farther in the fallacy, that they have still made forbidden fruits seem pleasant to the eye. And the false colours under which they have seemed pleasant, have alwayes been taken from Religion. Thus in these Heathen States, where they first made their owne gods, and then worshipt them, never plot was hatcht to disturbe the Common-wealth, but the writings of some Sybill, or other, were entitled to that plot; And never any designe was laid to destroy the Roman Empire, but some Augur, or Priest was taken in, whose part 't was, to make the Entrailes, and Liver of his sacrifice, give credit to the ambition of the designe. And thus among the Jewes, some ambitious men, the better to gild over their proceedings, still entitled God to them.
