observe_v a_o difference_n between_o protestant_n and_o roman_a catholic_n schismatic_n that_o protestant_n do_v not_o charge_v roman_a catholic_n with_o formal_a schism_n but_o only_o with_o causal_n schism_n whereas_o roman_a catholic_n do_v charge_n protestant_n with_o formal_a schism_n to_o which_o i_o give_v three_o answer_n first_o if_o protestant_n do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o formal_a schism_n their_o charity_n be_v the_o great_a and_o the_o roman_a catholic_n be_v the_o more_o oblige_v to_o they_o certain_o we_o have_v better_a ground_n to_o charge_v they_o with_o formal_a schism_n than_o they_o have_v to_o charge_v we_o but_o indeed_o protestant_n do_v charge_n the_o roman_a court_n and_o all_o roman_a catholic_n who_o maintain_v it_o and_o adhere_v unto_o it_o out_o of_o ambitious_a avaritious_a or_o other_o sinister_a end_n and_o not_o out_o of_o simplicity_n of_o heart_n and_o invincible_a or_o at_o least_o probable_a ignorance_n with_o formal_a schism_n second_o causal_n schism_n may_v be_v and_o in_o this_o case_n of_o the_o romanist_n be_v as_o well_o formal_a nay_o sometime_o more_o formal_a than_o actual_a schism_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o then_o actual_a separation_n whosoever_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o separation_n to_o other_o contrary_a to_o the_o light_n of_o their_o knowledge_n out_o of_o uncharitable_a or_o other_o sinister_a end_n be_v causal_n and_o formal_a schismatic_n whereas_o they_o who_o separate_v actual_o and_o local_o upon_o just_a cause_n be_v no_o criminous_a schismatic_n at_o all_o and_o they_o who_o separate_v actual_o without_o just_a cause_n may_v do_v it_o out_o of_o invincible_a ignorance_n and_o consequent_o they_o be_v not_o formal_a but_o only_o material_a schismatic_n three_o when_o the_o case_n come_v to_o be_v exact_o weigh_v it_o be_v here_o just_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o possibility_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o very_a same_o protestant_n do_v not_o charge_v all_o roman_a catholic_n with_o formal_a schism_n but_o only_o such_o as_o break_v the_o bond_n of_o unity_n sinful_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o separate_n themselves_o or_o other_o undue_o from_o the_o catholic_n communion_n or_o give_v just_a cause_n of_o separation_n to_o other_o nor_o do_v r._n c._n himself_o charge_v all_o protestant_n with_o formal_a schism_n for_o he_o confess_v that_o all_o those_o protestant_n who_o err_v invincible_o do_v want_v neither_o church_n nor_o salvation_n formal_n schismatic_n while_o they_o continue_v formal_a schismatic_n want_v both_o church_n and_o salvation_n therefore_o whosoever_o want_v neither_o church_n nor_o salvation_n be_v no_o formal_a schismatic_n the_o reason_n of_o his_o former_a assertion_n be_v this_o because_o protestant_n can_v name_v no_o church_n out_o of_o who_o communion_n the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n depart_v his_o reason_n show_v that_o he_o confound_v material_a and_o formal_a schism_n with_o causal_n and_o actual_a schism_n whereas_o actual_a schism_n may_v sometime_o be_v only_o material_a and_o causal_a schism_n may_v also_o sometime_o be_v formal_a to_o his_o reason_n i_o give_v two_o clear_a answer_n church_n first_o protestant_n can_v name_v a_o particular_a church_n out_o of_o who_o communion_n the_o present_a roman_a church_n depart_v even_o the_o pure_a and_o uncorrupted_a church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v before_o it_o by_o introduce_v error_n abuse_n and_o corruption_n into_o it_o there_o be_v a_o moral_a departure_n out_o of_o a_o church_n as_o well_o as_o a_o local_a and_o acknowledge_v by_o themselves_o to_o be_v culpable_a and_o criminous_a schism_n second_o that_o church_n which_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_n or_o universal_a church_n be_v more_o schismatical_a than_o that_o which_o depart_v only_o out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o a_o particular_a church_n both_o because_o our_o obligation_n be_v great_a to_o the_o catholic_n church_n then_o to_o any_o particular_a church_n church_n and_o because_o the_o catholic_n or_o universal_a church_n do_v comprehend_v all_o particular_a church_n of_o one_o denomination_n in_o it_o when_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n by_o their_o censure_n do_v separate_v three_o or_o four_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n who_o be_v as_o catholic_n or_o more_o catholic_n then_o themselves_o than_o they_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n as_o the_o donatist_n do_v of_o old_a there_o be_v but_o this_o difference_n between_o the_o donatist_n and_o they_o that_o the_o donatist_n do_v it_o only_o by_o their_o uncharitable_a opinion_n and_o verbal_a censure_n but_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n do_v it_o moreover_o by_o a_o solemn_a juridical_a decree_n which_o be_v much_o the_o great_a degree_n of_o schism_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v vain_a to_o liken_v they_o to_o the_o donatist_n because_o the_o donatist_n say_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n of_o that_o time_n be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o church_n as_o protestant_n say_v now_o of_o the_o roman_a for_o which_o saint_n austin_n laugh_v at_o they_o 38._o the_o truth_n be_v the_o donatist_n say_v that_o they_o be_v but_o a_o small_a part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n if_o any_o part_n be_v the_o true_a catholic_a church_n donatist_n and_o that_o the_o true_a catholic_a church_n be_v no_o catholic_a church_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v express_o contrary_a to_o what_o he_o say_v here_o just_o as_o the_o romanist_n say_v now_o that_o they_o themselves_o be_v with_o all_o their_o dependent_n not_o a_o four_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n be_v the_o catholic_a church_n and_o that_o the_o patriarchate_o of_o
