To this end it was necessary to lay the Foundation of eternal Feud, not in the Humours and Passions of Men only, but in the Interests of Nations: The Way to do this was to form and state the Dominion of those Princes, by such a Plan drawn in Hell, and laid out from a Scheme truly political, of which the _Devil_ was chief Engineer; that the Divisions should always remain, being made a natural Consequence of the Situation of the Country, the Temper of their People, the Nature of their Commerce, the Climate, the Manner of living, or something which should for ever render it impossible for them to unite. This, I say, was a Scheme truly infernal, in which the _Devil_ was as certainly the principal Operator, to illustrate great Things by small, as ever _John_ of _Leyden_ was of the High _Dutch_ Rebellion, or Sir _John B------t_ of the late Project, called the _South-Sea_ Stock. Nor did this Contrivance of the _Devil_ at all dishonour his Author, or the Success appear unworthy of the Undertaker; for we see it not only answer the End, and made the _Turk_ victorious at the same Time, and formidable to _Europe_ ever after, but it works to this Day, the Foundation of the Divisions remains in all the several Nations, and that to such a Degree that it is impossible they should unite. This is what I hinted before, in which the _Devil_ was mistaken, and is another instance that he knows nothing of what is to come; for this very Foundation of immortal Jealousy and Discord between the several Nations of _Spain_, _France_, _Germany_, and others, which the _Devil_ himself with so much Policy contriv'd, and which serv'd his Interests so long, is now the only Obstruction to his Designs, and prevents the entire Ruin of the Reformation; for tho' the reform'd Countries are very Powerful, and some of them, as _Great Britain_ and _Prussia_ is particularly, more powerful than ever; yet it cannot be said that the Protestant Interests in general are stronger than formerly, or so strong as they were in 1623 under the victorious Arms of the _Swede_; On the other Hand, were it possible that the Popish Powers, to wit, of _France_, _Spain_, _Germany_, _Italy_ and _Poland_, which are intirely Popish, could heartily unite their Interests, and should join their Powers to attack the Protestants, the latter would find it very difficult, if not impossible, to defend themselves. But as fatal as such a Union of the Popish Powers would be, and as useful as it would be to the _Devil_'s Cause at this time, not the _Devil_ with all his Angels are able to bring it to pass; no, not with all his Craft and Cunning; he divided them, but he can't unite them; so that even just as 'tis with Men, so 'tis with _Devils_, they may do in an Hour what they can't undo in an Age.
