A67904	The life of William now Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, examined. Wherein his principall actions, or deviations in matters of doctrine and discipline (since he came to that sea of Canturbury) are traced, and set downe, as they were taken from good hands, by Mr. Robert Bayley, a learned pastor of the Kirk of Scotland, and one of the late commissioners sent from that Nation. Very fitting for all judicious men to reade, and examine, that they may be the better able to censure him for those thing [sic] wherein he hath done amisse. Reade and judge.; Ladensium autokatakrisis, the Canterburians self-conviction	Baillie, Robert, 1599-1662.	1643 (1643)	Wing B462; ESTC R22260	178,718	164

necessary to salvation There is great difference betwixt shisme from them and reformation of our selfe It is one thing to leave communion with the Church of Rome and another to leave communicating with her errors whosoever professeth himselfe to forsake the communion of any one member of Christs body must confesse himselfe consequently to forsake the whole And therefore we forsake not Romes communion more nor the body of Christ whereof we acknowledge the Church of Rome to be a member though corrupted If any Zelots 〈◊〉 proceeded among us to heavier censures their zeale may be excused but their charity and wisdome cannot be justified Cant. relat p. 192.

The foundation is 〈◊〉 whole in the midst of their superstitions 〈◊〉 answer p. 124. Suppose a great Prelate in the high Commission Court had said openly That we and the Church of Rome differed not in fundamentalibus yet how commeth this to be an innovation in the doctrine of England for that Church telleth us in the 19. article That Rome doth 〈◊〉 in matters of Faith but it hath not told us that she doth erre in fundamentalibus 〈◊〉 old religion after the beginning It is the charitable profession of zealous 〈◊〉 that under the Popery there is much Christian good yea all that under the Papacy there is true Christianity yea the kernell of Christianity Neither doe wee censure that Church for what it hath not but for what it hath Fundamentall truth is like the 〈◊〉 wine which if it be mixed with twenty times so much water 〈◊〉 his 〈◊〉 Rome as it is Babylon we must come out of it but as it is an outward visible Church we 〈◊〉 did nor would 〈◊〉 Maskel Popery is 〈◊〉 but fundamentall truth is an antidote A little quantity of antidot that is soveraigne will destroy much poyson Pottar p. 62. The most necessary and fundamentall truths which constitute a Church are on both sides unquestioned ibid. By fundamentall points of 〈◊〉 we understand these prime and capitall doctrines of Religion which 〈◊〉 up the holy Catholick Faith which 〈◊〉 constitutes a true Church and a 〈◊〉 Christian. The Apostles 〈◊〉 taken in a Catholick sense that is as it was 〈◊〉 opened in some parts by occasion of emergent 〈◊〉 in the other Catholick creeds of Nice 〈◊〉 Epbesus Chalcedon and 〈◊〉 is said generally by the Schoolmen and Fathers to comprehend a perfect 〈◊〉 of fundamentall truths and to imply a full rejection of fundamentall 〈◊〉 ib. p. 109.

It is a great vanity to hope or expect that all learned men in this life should absolutely consent in all the 〈◊〉 of the divine truth so long as the faith once delivered to the Saints and that common faith containing all necessary verities is keeped So long as men walke charitably according to this rule though in other things they be otherwise minded the unity of the Church is no wise violated for it doth consist in the unity of faith not of opinions in the union of mens hearts by true charity which easily tolerateth unnecessary differences Some points of religion are 〈◊〉 articles essentiall in the object of Faith Dissention in these is pernitious and destroieth unity Other are secundary probable obscure and accidentall points 〈◊〉 in these are tolerable Unity in these is very contingent and variable As in musicall consort a discord now and then so it bee in the discant and depart not from the ground sweetens the harmony so the variety of opinions and rites in divers parts of the Church doth rather commend then prejudice the unity of the whole Montag Antigag pag. 14.

They will have us to understand though wee and the Papists differ in some things yet that this very day there is no schisme betwixt Papists and Protestants that Protestants keepe union and communion with the Church of Rome in all things required for the essence of a true Church and necessary for salvation that though they communicate not with some of her doctrines and practices yet this marres not the true union and communion of the two Churches both in faith and 〈◊〉 That these who passe harder censures upon Rome are but zelots in whom too much zeale hath burnt up all wisedome and charity 3. That the points wherein the two Churches doe differ are such as prejudge not the Salvation of either party that they are not foundamentall and albeit they were so yet the truths that the Papists doe maintaine are of force to hinder all the evill that can come from their errours 4. That the Popish errours let bee to bee fundamentall are of so small importance as they doe not prejudge either faith hope or charity let be salvation Fistly That a generall repentance for all unknowne sinnes is sufficient to secure the salvation not only of these who have lived and died in the Popish tenets before the Councell of Trent but even to this day not onely their people but their most learned Clergie Popes Cardinalls Jesuits living and dying in their bitter oppositions and persecutions of Protestants are in no hazard of damnation though they never come to any particular acknowledgement of their sinfull opinions or practises following thereupon Sixtly They teach us that Papists may not in reason bee stiled either idolaters or hereticks or shismaticks His grace in that great large folio set our the last yeare to declare to the world the farthest that his minde could bee drawen for to oppose Popery is not pleased to my memory in his most vehement oppositions to lay to then charge any of these three crimes neither doe I remember in all the search my poore lecture hath made that any of his favourits in their writtes these twelve yeares bygone hath layed to the charge of Rome in earnest either idolatry heresie or shisme but by the contrary hath absolved them clearly in formall tearmes all those three crimes Of idolatry because they teach not the giving of 〈◊〉 to any image or any creature Of heresie because their errours taketh no part of the foundation away but are onely excesses and additions consisting with all 〈◊〉 trueth Of shisme because they goe on in the practice of their forbeares without introducing any late novations 7.
