But S. Hillary showeth, how we shall be sure to know an heresy or a schisme. Hee est regula ⟨image 53⟩fidei: Christus dixit, Apostolus dixit. This is a rule of faith, to say, Christ hath said it, the Apostle hath said it. Christ saith, Bibite ex hoc omnes, Drink ye all of this, without exception, Paul biddeth us to pray so, that the people may say Amen. And sayeth, Honorabile coniugium in omnibus, Mariage is honourable in all men. Then is this by Hilary's rule the Catholic faith, & the contrary is Schismatical: for our faith is builded upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets. S. Cyprian saith, Non pax est sed bellum, nec Ecclesiae jungitur, qui ab Evangelio 1separatur. It is no peace but war, no Catholic peace or unity, but open war & schism: neither can he say, I am of the Church: that is divided from the gospel. Justinus martyr, as it is reported by Eusebius, saide, Ipsi Domino non acquiescerem, si alium Deum diceret 2praeter omnium Creatorem. I would not believe Christ himself, if he should say there were another God then the creator of all things. If he would not believe God himself, teaching otherwise then is set down by the word of God, much less would he believe the Church, teaching contrary to the Gospel.

And sayeth, Honorabile coniugium in omnibus, Mariage is honorable in al men. Then is this by Hylaries rule the Catholique faith, & the contrary is Schismaticall: for our faith is buylded vppon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets. S. Cyprian saith, Non pax est sed bellum, nec Ecclesiae iungitur, qui ab Euangelio 1separatur. It is no peace but war, no Catholike peace or vnity, but opē war & schisme: neither can he say, I am of the Church: that is diuided from the gospel.
