Excerpt from Church Constitution of the Bohemian and Moravian Brethren: The Original Latin, With a Translation, Notes, and Introduction Calvin and Bucer, who both highly approved of the order of the Brethren. When invited to diverse places for the reformation Of churches, so applied it severally as suited thepolitical government. Calvin instituted pres bytery in the republic of Geneva, and Bucer left the episcopate in the k'mgdom of England. Whether they acted rightly in thus separating the things which work better in union, is shown by the strifes which have thence arisen; and which have with so much injury been agitated among brethren.-de Bono Unitatis, 8.
