If we be Schismatics, because we have left them, by what name then shall they he called themselves, which have forsaken the Greeks, from whom they first received their Faith, forsaken the Primitive Church, forsaken Christ himself, and the Apostles, even as if Children should forsake their parents?
If we be Schismatiques, bicause we haue leaft them, by what name then shal thei he called themselues, whiche haue foresaken ye Greekes, from vvhom they firste receiued theire Faithe, foresaken the Primitiue Churche, foresaken Christe himselfe, and the Apostles, euen as if Children shoulde foresake theire parentes?

Who so ever depart from the Catholic Church, they be Schismatics: ye have departed from the Catholic Church, of‡ these nine hundred years: ergo ye be schismatics. The first proposition ye will not deny: The second your selves confess: the conclusion then must needs be true. If we say the same, blame us not. Neither say we that only, but also that ye are Heretics. Whereby the measure of your iniquity is increased. The same crime ye would impure unto us, if ye wist how. If ye have no more to lay to our charge, but that we have forsaken the Greeks, ye shall not be offended with the world, if it give us the title, name, and estimation of Catholics, as heretofore. For (remember your selves) we have not forsaken: he Greeks, but the Greeks in some points have forsaken us. By the name of us, always I understand the Catholic Church, even the Holy Romaine Church, whose faith we profess, and with whom we communicate.
