As I renounce all Canons that, ipso facto, excommunicate men for being against humane unnecessary Formalities, Offices, yea, and Corruptions: So do I for the same Reasons, renounce them that at one blow wo•ld cut off all Christ's Churches on Earth, or renounce Communion with them, if they have (but really or conceitedly) such Corruptions and Defects. Yea, I maintain (in the First Part), That such faulty separating from one another, is not a separation of them all from Christ, when they see not the Consequences of their own Errors; and man on Earth is in so great darkness, that we all swarm with multitudes of Errors.
