to_o be_v peculiar_a to_o this_o nation_n on_o easter-day_n and_o during_o the_o three_o follow_a week_n they_o salute_v one_o another_o with_o three_o kiss_n one_o on_o the_o mouth_n and_o one_o on_o

the_o apostle_n institute_v five_o patriarch_n to_o govern_v the_o church_n upon_o the_o earth_n who_o be_v seat_v at_o rome_n alexandria_n constantinople_n antioch_n and_o jerusalem_n and_o under_o

be_v subordinate_a to_o they_o and_o to_o inflict_v ecclesiastical_a censure_n but_o the_o patriarch_n can_v only_o admonish_v one_o another_o and_o can_v neither_o be_v punish_v nor_o depose_v for_o

the_o superstition_n and_o simplicity_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o connivance_n of_o the_o prince_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o greek_a bishop_n have_v reason_n to_o refuse_v their_o consent_n to_o the_o introduction_n and_o establishment_n of_o a_o tyrannical_a power_n in_o the_o church_n since_o they_o can_v not_o but_o foresee_v that_o it_o will_v produce_v very_o fatal_a and_o pernicious_a consequence_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n that_o make_v the_o pope_n discharge_v his_o thunder_n against_o they_o and_o declare_v they_o schismatic_n thus_o violent_o break_v the_o sacred_a union_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o which_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v spend_v the_o last_o drop_n of_o his_o blood_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o greek_n be_v not_o content_v with_o return_v the_o charge_n of_o schism_n upon_o the_o roman_a church_n but_o pretend_v that_o they_o never_o actual_o separate_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o rome_n since_o they_o have_v not_o establish_v a_o five_o patriarch_n and_o still_o acknowledge_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v the_o first_o bishop_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v with_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o justice_n be_v blame_v for_o the_o fault_n of_o another_o or_o say_v to_o separate_v from_o a_o church_n which_o have_v violent_o drive_v they_o out_o of_o her_o communion_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o whole_a greek_a church_n though_o i_o can_v reasonable_o decline_v give_v credit_n to_o a_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v hear_v so_o often_o

take_v the_o liberty_n to_o ask_v he_o why_o they_o do_v not_o send_v their_o bishop_n to_o the_o last_o council_n that_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o west_n in_o which_o all_o their_o difference_n may_v

and_o that_o the_o send_n of_o deputy_n to_o the_o council_n will_v have_v give_v a_o terrible_a umbrage_n to_o the_o grand_a signior_n who_o will_v have_v be_v apt_a to_o suspect_v that_o these_o bishop_n be_v send_v to_o contrive_v a_o rebellion_n against_o he_o and_o to_o plot_v the_o ruin_n of_o his_o empire_n and_o to_o deliver_v himself_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o a_o revolt_n may_v have_v be_v easy_o persuade_v to_o have_v put_v the_o whole_a nation_n under_o military_a execution_n this_o answer_n seem_v so_o reasonable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o truth_n that_o i_o be_v oblige_v to_o acknowledge_v myself_o entire_o satisfy_v thus_o i_o have_v give_v a_o short_a account_n of_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o fatal_a breach_n that_o divide_v the_o eastern_a and_o western_a church_n and_o of_o the_o reason_n allege_v by_o the_o greek_n to_o free_v themselves_o of_o the_o imputation_n of_o schism_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n examine_v the_o point_n of_o doctrine_n in_o which_o they_o differ_v from_o the_o roman_n the_o difference_n between_o these_o church_n may_v be_v reduce_v to_o five_o article_n of_o which_o only_o two_o be_v fundamental_o for_o though_o the_o other_o three_o be_v of_o considerable_a moment_n they_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o excuse_v a_o separation_n the_o first_o be_v the_o procession_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o in_o their_o opinion_n proceed_v not_o from_o the_o son_n but_o only_o from_o the_o father_n to_o illustrate_v and_o confirm_v this_o doctrine_n the_o archbishop_n tell_v i_o that_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v only_o distinguish_v by_o their_o different_a operation_n and_o attribute_n that_o the_o property_n of_o the_o father_n be_v to_o beget_v without_o be_v beget_v that_o of_o the_o son_n to_o be_v eternal_o beget_v without_o beget_v and_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o inspire_v and_o sanctify_v our_o heart_n i_o reply_v that_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o follow_v because_o the_o son_n be_v beget_v that_o he_o can_v not_o cooperate_v with_o the_o father_n in_o the_o procession_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o he_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n pretend_v that_o we_o can_v not_o ascribe_v to_o the_o son_n the_o attribute_n of_o generation_n that_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o father_n without_o
