The leaven of Heresy spreads far. qTheir word will eat as doth a canker; or a Gangrene. [Greek or Hebrew], is an Option, or Election, of [Greek or Hebrew], to make choice. A laudable word at first among Philosophers, taken for a right form of learning. In Divinity it is a word of disgrace, and intends a stubborn deviation from the received Truth. It is more then Error. Aug. Errare possum, Haereticus esse non possum. I may err, I cannot be an Heretic. Qui sua pestifer a dogmata defendere persistunt, h•retici sunt. They that wilfully go on to maintain their pestilent opinions, are Heretics. It hath the right property of a Gangrene, it frets as it goes; vires acquirit eundo: Heresies in the soul are like ulcera depascentia in the body, they eat up the parts about them.
