B. Catholick Schismatology OR An Account of Schism and Schismaticks in the several Ages of the World The Introduction THO the first two thousand years of the World called the Patriarchal Ages which was from the Creation to the giving of the Law to Moses were called by the Jewish Rabbies the two thousand years of emptiness because of that little that is recorded of the Transactions of those times yet is not the Holy Scripture silent in this matter but speaks of Schism and Schismaticks as coaeval with Sin and Satan St. Jude speaking of the Separatists of his time the Gnostick-Schismaticks Jude 6. compares them first to the fallen Angels the first that sinned those Schismaticks from the Church triumphant Jude 6. Where he plainly intimates That as the Devil was the first Sinner so was he the first Schismatick Saies the Apostle The first that left his first estate which was Communion with the Church triumphant From this he descends to compare them to some of the first Schismaticks from the Church Militant He instances first in Cain Jude 11.
