Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
This error riseth of misunderstanding these words, Universalis Ecclesia. For the Church Universal, and the Church Catholic, the one being Greek, the other Latin, are both one: and are commonly used of the learned Fathers, as contrary to a Particular Church, as be the Churches of Heretics, & Schismatics. In this sense, every Godly Bishop, is a Bishop of the Catholic, or Universal Church: like as also every Godly man is a member of the same. Thus writeth Calixtus,1 Calixtus Archiepiscopus Ecclesiae Catholicae V•bis Romae. Thus Marcellus,2 Marcellus Episcopus Sanctae & Apostolicae, & Catholicae Urbis Romae. In these places Rome is called▪ a Catholic, that is to say, an Universal City: partly to exclude the Churches of Heretics, which were mere Particular: and partly also to signify, that the Church there, was then a Church of the Catholic, and Universal Doctrine. So likewise it is written in the Council of Constantinople:3 Clerici, & Monachi Apostolici Throni Antiochenae magnae Civitatis, Catholicae, Sanctae Ecclesiae Dei. The Clerks, and Monks of the Apostolic Throne of the great City of Antioch, of the Catholic, or Universal Holy Church of God.
This errour riseth of misvnderstandinge these woordes, Vniuersalis Ecclesia. For the Churche Uniuersal, and the Churche Catholique, the one beinge Gréeke, the other Latine, are bothe one: and are commonly vsed of the learned Fathers, as contrary to a Particular Churche, as be the Churches of Heretiques, & Schismatiques. In this sence, euery Godly Bishop, is a Bishop of the Catholique, or Uniuersal Churche: like as also euery Godly man is a member of the same. Thus writeth Calixtus,1 Calixtus Archiepiscopus Ecclesiae Catholicae V•bis Romae. Thus Marcellus,2 Marcellus Episcopus Sanctae & Apostolicae, & Catholicae Vrbis Romae. In these places Rome is called▪ a Catholique, that is to saye, an Vniuesal Cittie: partely to exclude the Churches of Heretiques, whiche were méere Particular: and partely also to signifie, that the Churche there, was then a Churche of the Catholique, and Uniuersal Doctrine. So likewise it is written in the Councel of Constantinople:
