C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Faction

So false is faction, and so smooth a liar,
As that it never had a side entire.

Daniel.

Seldom is faction’s ire in haughty minds
Extinguish’d but by death: it oft like fire
Suppress’d, breaks forth again, and blazes higher.

May.

Avoid the politic, the factious fool,
The busy, buzzing, talking harden’d knave;
The quaint smooth rogue that sins against his reason,
Calls saucy loud sedition public zeal,
And mutiny the dictates of his spirit.

Otway.
