And in this sense S. Hierome saith, 1Communi Presbyterorum Consilio Ecclesiae gubernabantur: The Churches were ordered (not by the Universal Authority of the Bishop of Rome, but) by the Common Advise of the Priests. Likewise S. Cyprian saith, 2Ideircò copiosum est Corpus Sacerdotum, Concordiae mutuae glutine, atque Uniratis vinculo copulatum, ut si quis ex Collegio nostro Haeresim facere, & Gregem Christi laccrare, ac vastare tentaverit, subueniant coeteri: Therefore is the Body, or company of Priests so copious, joined together with consent of Concorde and Unity, that if any one of our Company enterprise to raise an Heresy, and to scatter and waste the Flock of Christ,3 the rest should help. So likewise S. Basil: Interrogate Patres Vestros, & renuntiabunt vobis, quòd etiamsi loci situ divisae inter se sint Paroeciae, tamen veluti Coronamento quodam Unitae, unaque sententia gubernatae fuerunt. Assidua quidem populi fuit inter se commixtio: Ipsi verò Pastores tanta praediti fuerunt mutua inter ipsos Charitate, ut alius alio Praeceptore, ac Duce usi fuerint: Ask of your Fathers, and they will tell you, that although Bishoprics be divided, and sundered by distance of place, yet were they ever knit together as with a Garland, and ever ruled by One Advise. In deed the People was ever mingled together: But the Bishops were all so joined in Charity, that every of them was content to be taught, and to be lead by other.
And in this sense S. Hierome saithe, 1Communi Presbyterorum Consilio Ecclesiae gubernabantur: The Churches were ordred (not by the Vniuersal Authoritie of the Bishop of Rome, but) by the Common Aduise of the Priestes. Likewise S. Cyprian saithe, 2Ideircò copiosum est Corpus Sacerdotum, Cōcordiae mutuae glutine, atque Vniratis vinculo copulatum, vt si quis ex Collegio nostro Haeresim facere, & Gregem Christi laccrare, ac vastare tentauerit, subueniant coeteri: Therefore is the Body, or companie of Priestes so copious, ioined togeather with consente of Concorde and Vnitie, that if any one of our Companie entreprise to raise an Heresie, and to scatter and waste the Flocke of Christe,
