but_o i_o intend_v brevity_n only_o i_o can_v omit_v how_o you_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o this_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n have_v cause_v those_o separation_n which_o arius_n nestorius_n and_o other_o heretic_n have_v raise_v when_o you_o say_v hence_o arise_v those_o ancient_a and_o many_o separation_n among_o christian_n etc._n etc._n whereas_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o catholic_n father_n which_o have_v quell_v confute_v and_o silence_v all_o those_o heresy_n and_o heretic_n which_o it_o seem_v you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o revive_v for_o you_o will_v not_o have_v they_o call_v heresy_n but_o schism_n for_o indeed_o say_v you_o they_o be_v but_o name_n of_o schism_n howsoever_o in_o the_o common_a language_n of_o the_o father_n they_o be_v call_v heresy_n but_o you_o must_v pardon_v those_o who_o think_v it_o safe_a and_o sound_a to_o follow_v the_o common_a language_n of_o the_o father_n than_o your_o own_o private_a assertion_n but_o you_o have_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o for_o heresy_n say_v you_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_v not_o of_o reason_n whereas_o indeed_o it_o be_v both_o for_o do_v not_o the_o heretic_n first_o fasten_v upon_o a_o false_a opinion_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o corrupt_a reason_n and_o this_o be_v the_o material_a part_n of_o heresy_n and_o then_o do_v wilful_o and_o stubborn_o be_v convince_v of_o it_o maintain_v the_o same_o which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n and_o formalize_v heresy_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n not_o in_o you_o

they_o and_o make_v these_o latter_a scarce_a schismatic_n for_o you_o will_v take_v these_o rent_n in_o the_o church_n to_o be_v at_o the_o worst_a but_o schism_n then_o at_o the_o best_a it_o seem_v they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o schism_n yet_o i_o can_v be_v persuade_v so_o ill_a of_o the_o former_a as_o to_o think_v they_o know_v what_o they_o teach_v be_v a_o lie_n and_o so_o go_v direct_o against_o their_o own_o conscience_n nor_o yet_o so_o well_o of_o the_o latter_a to_o excuse_v they_o with_o you_o from_o heresy_n for_o i_o be_o yet_o to_o learn_v that_o heresy_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o know_v that_o a_o lie_n be_v teach_v such_o kind_n of_o wickedness_n i_o shall_v rather_o term_v open_a blasphemy_n then_o heresy_n when_o man_n go_v against_o the_o light_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n six_o you_o chalk_n we_o out_o a_o way_n wherein_o we_o may_v safe_o walk_v not_o only_o with_o the_o donatist_n but_o with_o the_o arian_n and_o all_o other_o heretic_n and_o that_o be_v to_o have_v liturgy_n and_o public_a form_n of_o service_n so_o frame_v as_o that_o they_o admit_v not_o of_o particular_a and_o private_a fancy_n but_o contain_v only_o such_o thing_n as_o in_o which_o all_o christian_n do_v agree_v and_o then_o schism_n on_o opinion_n be_v utter_o vanish_v and_o thus_o say_v you_o i_o may_v go_v to_o a_o arian_n church_n a_o pretty_a fancy_n indeed_o but_o first_o i_o think_v you_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o the_o arian_n party_n to_o frame_v their_o creed_n so_o as_o may_v not_o give_v offence_n to_o the_o orthodox_a side_n for_o in_o all_o liturgy_n they_o use_v to_o have_v a_o confession_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o second_o if_o you_o can_v prevail_v with_o they_o how_o can_v you_o persuade_v all_o our_o church_n to_o put_v that_o clause_n out_o of_o our_o creed_n i_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n beget_v of_o his_o father_n before_o all_o world_n god_n of_o god_n light_n of_o

against_o our_o sosinian_n now_o which_o creed_n have_v have_v the_o general_a applause_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n since_o and_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o creed_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n you_o must_v prevail_v with_o they_o likewise_o to_o blot_v out_o of_o athanasius_n creed_n which_o though_o it_o be_v make_v but_o by_o one_o man_n yet_o by_o general_a

of_o the_o son_n another_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v all_o one_o the_o glory_n equal_a the_o

which_o do_v direct_o overthrow_v these_o heresy_n and_o do_v not_o call_v these_o clause_n particular_a and_o private_a fancy_n for_o they_o be_v part_n of_o the_o universal_a and_o public_a faith_n of_o the_o church_n which_o all_o the_o east_n and_o west_n all_o popish_a and_o reform_a church_n do_v unanimous_o profess_v and_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o a_o time_n now_o to_o add_v much_o less_o
