Whatevery course the new Queen adopted she would make enemies, while to adopt none would be the worst course of all, since that would leave it to the creeds to fight it out amongst themselves until one had crushed the rest. 

整个上下文：

This was only one of the problems that confronted Elizabeth at her accession. There were others even more pressing if the kingdom were to be safe and prosper. Internally it was divided by deep dissensions amongst its people; externally it was weak by comparison with its nearest continental neighbors. Within less than twenty years it had been forcibly subjected to three different kinds of religion, a sort of Anglo-Catho Licism under Henry VIII, an extreme Protestantism under Edward and the old orthodox Catholicism under Mary. Such a thing as toleration, each person worshipping according to his own conscience, was inconceivable; all had to worship the same way, and each change had been accompanied by persecution and left a legacy of hatred amongst those who preferred anther way. Whatever course the new Queen adopted she would make enemies, while to adopt none would be the worst course of all, since that would leave it to the various creeds to fight it out amongst themselves until one had crushed the rest.
