59. And they condemn all the Parish Churches in England as Churches distinct from Cathedrals: For they are all Churches gathered out of Churches: At first the Cathedrals were the only single Churches: Next Monasteries were gathered; and next our Parish Churches.

Their Principles damn St. Martin that separated to the death from all the Bishops Synods and them that were near him (save one Man) because they persuaded Maximus to use the Sword against Priscillian Gnostics, and brought men of strict Religion under Suspicion of Priscillianism: And sure the ruined persecuted Protestants here, are more Orthodox than the Priscillians. And they damn Gildas that told the English Clergy, that he was not eximius Christianus, that would call them Ministers; (Do they not disgrace the many Churches dedicated to the Memory of St. Martin, if he be a damned man?) I doubt they damn Paul and Barnabas for local angry separating from each other: Whatever they do by Peter and Barnabas for the Separation blamed Gal. 2.
