But who can better expound S. Hieromes words, then S. Hierome him self? Thus he writeth unto Theophilus against John Bishop of Hierusalem, Quod scribit, nos tecum pergere Romam,1 & Ecclesiae communicare ei, à qua videmur cō munione separati, non necesse est ire tam longè: & hic in Palaestina eodem modo ei jungimur. Et ne hoc quod procul sit: In viculo Bethlehem presbyteris eius, quantum in nobis est, Communione sociamur. Where as he writeth that I am going with thee to Rome, to Communicate with the Church there, from which we be divided by Communion, it is nothing needful to go so far. For being here in Palestine, we are joined to the same Church in like manner. And let him not make matter, that it is so far of. For being here in the little town of Bethlehem, as much as in us lieth, we join in Communion with the Priests of Rome. He saith, as much as in us lieth,2 whereby he excepteth only the use of the Sacraments together. For otherwise they had Communicated throughly in all things, & these words, as much as in us lieth, should not have needed.
