_Noble_ and _puissant_ direct attention to ethical and to physical attributes; _purging_ and _scaling_ do not form so complementary a pair but perhaps denote two distinct phases of a process; _timorous_ and _flocking_ is an excellent pair to show inward nature and outward behavior, and must be accounted one of the most successful uses of the method; _sects_ and _schisms_ would seem to refer to social or ecclesiastical and to theological aspects of division. In a sentence from _Of Reformation in England_, he says: “But what do I stand reckoning upon _advantages_ and _gains_ lost by the _misrule_ and _turbulency_ of the prelates?”[143] _Advantages_ and _gains_ stand for two sorts of progress made prior to the _misrule_ and _turbulency_ of the prelates, which in turn signify the formal outward policies and the inner spirit of ambition and presumption. From the _Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce_: “The _ignorance_ and _mistake_ of this high point hath heaped up one huge half of all the misery that hath been since Adam.”[144] Here _ignorance_ would seem to describe a passive lack of awareness, whereas _mistake_ describes active misapprehension or misapplication. Finally here are examples from _Animadversions upon the Remonstrant’s Defence Against Smectymnuus_. We all know that in _private_ or _personal_ injuries, yea, in public sufferings for the cause of Christ, his _rule_ and _example_ teaches us to be so far from a readiness to speak evil, as not to answer the reviler in his language, though never so much provoked: yet in the _detecting_ and _convincing_ of any notorious enemy to _truth_ and his _country’s peace_, especially that is conceited to have a _voluble_ and _smart_ fluence of tongue, and in the vain confidence of that, and out of a more tenacious cling to worldly respects, stands up for all the rest to justify a _long usurpation_ and _convicted pseudepiscopy_ of prelates, with all their ceremonies, liturgies and tyrannies, which _God_ and _man_ are now ready to _explode_ and _hiss out of the land_: I suppose, and more than suppose, it will be nothing disagreeing from Christian meekness to handle such a one in a rougher accent, and to send home his haughtiness well bespurted with his own holy water.[145]
