Neither may you well vaunt your selves of your great agreements. Ye may remember, that two of the Principal Pillars of your Chapter, 1Petrus à Soto, and Catharinus, dissented even there openly, and shamefully, and that in great points of Religion: and wrote, the one mightily against the other: the one charging the other with Error, and Heresy, and could never be reconciled.

Notwithstanding, against other points of God's Truth, both they, and the rest joined stoutly together. S. Augustine saithe, 1Tunc inter se concordant, quando in perniciem Justi conspirant. Non quia se amant, sed quia eum, qui amandus erat, simul oderunt: Then they agree together, when they conspire to destroy the Just: not for that they them selves love one an other: but for that they both hate him, whom they ought to love. Of such kind of Consent S. Hierome, although to a far contrary purpose, imagineth Jovinian thus to say: 2Quo'd me damnant Episcopi, non est ratio, sed conspiratio. Nolo mihi ille, vel ille respondeat, quorum me Authoritas opprimere potest, docere non potest: That the Bishops condemn me, there is no Reason in their doings, but a Conspiracy. I would not, that this man, or that man should answer me, which may oppress me by their Authority, and cannot teach me.
