Again in an other Epistle unto the same Alexander he writeth thus,1 Voluit Compresbyter noster Cassianus, hanc amicitiarum nostrarum paginulam, quasi primitias pacis nostrae, conscribi &c. Cassianus our fellow priest, would have this instrument of our ⟨p. 293⟩friendship to be written, as the first fruits of our peace. Therefore I greet well your brotherhood, and all others of that Church, that are of your mind. Here Innocentius him self calleth this Composition an Instrument of Friendship, or fellowship, not of Repentance, or Humble Submission, as it pleaseth M. Harding untruly to translate it. Neither doth this word, Reconciliation, necessarily import a Superiority, or a Mastership: but also, and that most commonly, a Fellowship, or Equality, as it is said before.2 So saith S Paul, Christ hath reconciled both the Jew, and the Gentile in one Body. And what is meant by that Reconciliation, he expoundeth thus: Omnes unum sumus in Christo Jesu: We are all one in Christ Jesus. So saith Pliny the yonger,3 Principis est reconciliate aemulas Civitates. It is a Princes part to reconcile Cities, that contend for the Sovereignty: Not that the one may be brought into Subjection to the other: but that they may be made friends, and live in peace. So likewise saith Christ,4 Vade, Reconcilieris Fratri tuo. Go, and be reconciled unto thy Brother.
Againe in an other Epistle vnto the same Alexander he writeth thus,1 Voluit Compresbyter noster Cassianus, hanc amicitiarum nostrarum paginulam, quasi primitias pacis nostrae, conscribi &c. Cassianus our felowepriest, woulde haue this instrument of our ⟨p. 293⟩frendship to be written, as the firste fruites of our peace. Therefore I greete wel your brotherhoode, and al others of that Churche, that are of your minde. Here Innocentius him selfe calleth this Composition an Instrument of Frendship, or felowship, not of Repentance, or Humble Submission, as it pleaseth M. Hardinge vntruely to translate it. Neither dooth this woorde, Reconciliation, necessarily importe a Superioritie, or a Mastership: but also, and that moste commonly, a Felowship, or Equalitie, as it is saide before.
