such a Union, both to their own Body as a Party, and to the
Government also they would be convinc'd; wherefore I cannot but very
earnestly desire of the Dissenters and Whigs in my own Country that
they would take a Journy in my Consolidator up to the Moon, they
would certainly see there what vast Advantages they lose for want of
a Spirit of Union, and a concert of Measures among themselves.

The Crolians in the Moon are Men of large Souls, and Generously stand
by one another on all Occasions; it was never known that they
deserted any Body that suffer'd for them, my Old Philosopher
excepted, and that was a surprize upon them.

The Reason of the Difference is plain, our Dissenters here have not
the Advantage of a Cogitator, or thinking Engine, as they have in the
Moon.----- We have the Elevator here and are lifted up pretty much,
but in the Moon they always go into the Thinking Engine upon every
Emergency, and in this they out-do us of this World on every Occasion.

In general therefore I must note that the wisest Men I found in the
Moon, when they understood the Notes I had made as above, of the
sub-divisions of our Parties, told me that it was the greatest
Happiness that could ha' been obtained to our Country, for that if
our Parties had not been thus divided, the Nation had been undone.
They own'd that had not their Solunarian Party been divided among
themselves, the Crolians had been undone, and all the Moon had been
involv'd in Persecution, and been very probably subjected to the
Gallunarian Monarch.

Thus the fatal Errors of Men have their advantages, the seperate ends
they serve are not foreseen by their Authors and they do good against
