differre: cf. F. diff['e]rent.]

churches.'' --Addison.
2. Of various or contrary nature, form, or quality; partially
or totally unlike; dissimilar; as, different kinds of food
or drink; different states of health; different shapes;
different degrees of excellence.
Men are as different from each other, as the regions
