A. Try first one Unifying Civil Government (Monarchical or Aristocratical) for Europe, and call Princes Schismatics (as these Men do us) for refusing to obey it, and try the success. 2. And who shall make this European Church-Sovereign? And by what Authority, and limit his Kingdom? 3. And what is all this to do? To make better Laws than Christs!

Councils are for voluntary concord, and not the Sovereign Rectors of thei• Brethren.
