schism_n be_v not_o proper_o a_o separation_n for_o heresy_n or_o error_n in_o point_n of_o doctrine_n or_o faith_n but_o in_o point_n of_o disobedience_n which_o be_v not_o a_o trivial_a matter_n as_o all_o commonwealth_n will_v easy_o conceive_v be_v that_o nerve_n upon_o which_o all_o order_n de_fw-fr pend_v and_o therefore_o the_o quartadecimans_a be_v rebellious_a to_o the_o mandatory_a decree_n of_o nice_a all_o catholic_n have_v reason_n to_o decline_v their_o communion_n i_o know_v theodoret_n in_o l._n 1._o c._n 13._o of_o his_o ecclesiastical_a history_n and_o other_o learned_a man_n with_o st._n athanasius_n in_o his_o tract_n of_o synod_n do_v esteem_n that_o the_o question_n of_o easter_n be_v not_o define_v as_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n but_o command_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o a_o custom_n derive_v from_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o confirmation_n of_o this_o they_o observe_v that_o the_o council_n vari_v the_o form_n of_o speech_n in_o a_o migitatory_n way_n from_o the_o accustomary_a stile_n in_o declare_v point_n of_o faith_n say_v visum_fw-la est_fw-la ut_fw-la omnes_fw-la obtemper_n arent_fw-la in_o question_n of_o faith_n they_o do_v not_o write_v

schism_n grow_v from_o this_o gross_a misprision_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o controversy_n he_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o resume_v his_o better_a diligence_n in_o examine_v it_o he_o may_v with_o great_a appearance_n have_v bring_v that_o folemn_a word_n combat_n touch_v person_n &_o hypostasis_fw-la betwixt_o the_o eastern_a &_o western_a church_n which_o great_a athaenasius_fw-la more_o

these_o thing_n or_o why_o all_o do_v use_v three_o kind_n of_o word_n they_o make_v answer_v that_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o trinity_n etc._n etc._n approve_v therefore_o this_o interpretation_n

approve_v of_o the_o best_a and_o exact_a rule_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o father_n of_o nice_a have_v institute_v some_o indeed_o for_o their_o material_a error_n do_v deny_v communion_n but_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o formal_a schism_n betwixt_o the_o church_n but_o particular_a person_n perhaps_o it_o may_v have_v grow_v to_o a_o great_a head_n have_v not_o great_a athanasius_n interpose_v or_o rather_o have_v not_o christ_n jesus_n hinder_v it_o but_o among_o we_o the_o altar_n of_o division_n be_v erect_v against_o the_o altar_n of_o union_n with_o christ_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v impious_a to_o celebrate_v christ_n mystery_n the_o difference_n be_v not_o of_o word_n but_o substance_n not_o against_o the_o letter_n but_o the_o life_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o holy_a

against_o all_o meekness_n and_o clemency_n of_o the_o ancient_n to_o conclude_v why_o have_v you_o build_v a_o new_a altar_n frame_v the_o stone_n of_o scandal_n and_o division_n at_o leastwise_o you_o have_v break_v down_o and_o demolish_v all_o the_o old_a one_o insomuch_o that_o you_o abhor_v the_o very_a name_n of_o tar_n as_o these_o late_a time_n in_o your_o d●in●_n stick_v yet_o fiery_a
