accusation_n of_o be_v heretical_a nothing_o touch_v our_o reform_a religion_n and_o church_n for_o by_o god_n grace_n we_o be_v far_o from_o all_o kind_n of_o heresy_n and_o hold_v no_o other_o

that_o for_o not_o to_o be_v a_o heretic_n one_o must_v have_v communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o acknowledge_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v vicar_n of_o christ_n and_o successor_n of_o

the_o reform_a do_v answer_n to_o that_o doctrine_n of_o the_o jesuit_n that_o it_o must_v first_o appear_v that_o the_o now_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o catholic_a church_n before_o he_o that_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o communion_n can_v be_v just_o convict_v of_o heresy_n which_o be_v also_o to_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o pope_n it_o must_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v s._n peter_n

the_o ancient_a father_n of_o the_o church_n do_v call_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n catholic_n church_n the_o course_n of_o that_o church_n be_v turn_v and_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n have_v decline_v

of_o the_o catholic_a church_n exception_n of_o the_o jesuit_n so_o indeed_o calvin_n answer_v say_v the_o jesuit_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o serve_v the_o reformeds_n turn_n for_o optatus_n say_v they_o prove_v himself_o to_o be_v in_o the_o catholic_a church_n because_o he_o join_v himself_o to_o s._n peter_n chair_n answer_v of_o the_o reform_a to_o that_o exception_n and_o what_o do_v the_o

reform_a we_o can_v easy_o object_v out_o of_o optatus_n himself_o optatus_n call_v syricus_fw-la bishop_n of_o rome_n his_o fellow_n and_o the_o companion_n of_o other_o bishop_n who_o hold_v a_o

consent_n in_o doctrine_n and_o lawful_a ordination_n optatus_n then_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v a_o catholic_a because_o he_o keep_v the_o catholic_a confession_n and_o conjunction_n with_o syricius_n and_o with_o other_o bishop_n 2._o second_o the_o reform_a do_v answer_n that_o optatus_n argument_n be_v good_a against_o the_o donatist_n who_o do_v separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n while_o they_o consent_v not_o with_o these_o church_n where_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o a_o lawful_a ordination_n of_o bishop_n do_v ever_o flourish_v 3._o but_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o we_o reform_v and_o special_o to_o the_o reform_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sound_a argument_n to_o convince_v the_o reform_a of_o schism_n because_o they_o have_v separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o jesuit_n do_v maintain_v the_o contrary_n 1._o and_o in_o that_o regard_n think_v to_o touch_v the_o reform_a who_o have_v separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o produce_v the_o authority_n of_o optatus_n who_o do_v reprove_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o donatist_n and_o do_v argue_v they_o to_o be_v schismatical_a because_o they_o have_v separate_v from_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n answer_v to_o the_o jesuit_n and_o refutation_n of_o their_o argument_n 1._o a_o very_o good_a argument_n indeed_o and_o augustine_n observe_v the_o same_o course_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v object_v to_o the_o schismatical_a donatist_n which_o seditious_o without_o cause_n separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n 2._o but_o this_o argument_n employ_v by_o optatus_n against_o the_o donatist_n make_v nothing_o against_o the_o reform_a who_o have_v separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o the_o say_v reform_v deny_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v the_o catholic_a church_n 3._o and_o therefore_o the_o jesuit_n can_v by_o this_o argument_n of_o optatus_n convince_v we_o of_o schism_n although_o optatus_n may_v thereby_o confute_v the_o donatist_n 4._o it_o must_v first_o appear_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o catholic_a church_n otherwise_o the_o reform_v can_v be_v convict_v of_o schism_n 5._o in_o the_o time_n of_o optatus_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o preserver_n of_o religion_n the_o maintainer_n of_o the_o true_a faith_n and_o she_o shine_v like_o a_o star_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o other_o church_n 6._o no_o marvel_n then_o if_o the_o most_o holy_a father_n esteem_v much_o and_o reverence_v this_o church_n and_o urge_v the_o schismatic_n with_o the_o example_n of_o it_o and_o also_o the_o heretic_n of_o

brag_v of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n of_o the_o difference_n in_o religion_n between_o the_o calvinist_n and_o the_o lutheran_n 1._o the_o jar_n and_o dissension_n between_o the_o lutheran_n and_o calvinist_n be_v neither_o many_o nor_o so_o material_a as_o to_o shake_v or_o touch_v the_o foundation_n easy_o reconcileable_a if_o man_n of_o any_o moderation_n have_v they_o in_o
