austin_n say_v against_o the_o donatist_n be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o schism_n and_o may_v indeed_o be_v apply_v to_o other_o schismatic_n but_o before_o they_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o

if_o the_o schismatic_a shall_v fall_v to_o their_o own_o share_n they_o must_v take_v the_o censure_n of_o st._n austin_n to_o themselves_o 48._o b._n you_o donatist_n be_v with_o we_o catholic_o

the_o donatist_n to_o be_v schismatic_n that_o they_o have_v the_o same_o baptism_n the_o same_o creed_n the_o same_o sacrament_n but_o will_v not_o communicate_v with_o they_o and_o thereby_o divide_v themselves_o from_o the_o catholic_n church_n do_v not_o preserve_v the_o spirit_n of_o unity_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n but_o refuse_v to_o own_v themselves_o of_o the_o same_o church_n and_o this_o must_v be_v schism_n for_o nothing_o can_v justify_v a_o separation_n but_o a_o corruption_n of_o faith_n or_o worship_n but_o the_o case_n be_v vast_o different_a between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o creed_n the_o same_o sacrament_n and_o the_o same_o worship_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v add_v a_o great_a many_o new_a
