Zuinglius's Heart.

[graphic]

KN the beginning of the Reformation, when Zuinglius was flain in a battle by the Papifts and his body burnt, his heart was found entire in the afhes; from whence, faith the hiftorian, his enemies concluded the obduratenefs of his heart; but his friends, the firmness and fincerity of it in the true religion. Both these censures seem to be built upon the fame ground of fancy and imagination: but it is a wife and well grounded obfervation, which Thuanus the hiftorian, who was himself of the Roman Communion, makes upon it, adeo turbatis odio aut amore animis, ut fit in religionis diffentionibus, pro fe quifque omnia fuperftitione interpretatur, thus, faith he, "men's minds being prejudiced beforehand by love or hatred, as it commonly falls out in differences of religion, each party fuperftitiously interprets the little circumftances of every event in favour of itself."

Every thing hath two handles, a good wit and a strong imagination may find fome

thing in every judgment, whereby he may with fome appearance of reason turn the cause of the judgment upon his adversary. Fancy is an endless thing, and if we will go this way to work, then he that hath the best wit, is like to be the best interpreter of God's Judgments.-ARCHBISHOP TILLOTSON.
