The Donatists did grant the Head Jesus Christ, and denied his Body the Church. For this cause saith S. Augusiine, Ipsum Caput de quo consentimus, ostendat nobis Corpus suum, de quo dissentimus: Let the Head, upon whom we agree, show unto us his Body, whereupon we disagree. The Head is Christ, who spake first by his Prophets, afterward by him self, and last of all by his Apostles. In his igitur omnibus quaerenda est Ecclesia. In all these (saith he) the Church must be sought.1

If thou mark, good Reader, that, which I have here rehearsed out of S Augustine, it is to be seen, that he bindeth not the proof of the Church simply to the Holy Scriptures,‡ but only in a case, when he hath to do with an Heretic, who will not admit the authority of the Church. Therefore* a true Church may be found, which is not showed in the Scriptures, so the contrary ⟨p. 465⟩thereof be not showed in the Scriptures.
