Ans. Is it come to that? Alas! how few Catholic Bishops then do we hear of in the World? Tho no good man breaks it in the Essentials, who breaks it not in Degrees or Integrals. They were guilty of Schism that said, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Cephas. Peter brake it in some degree, Gal. 2. And much more those, Phil. 1. that preached Christ in strife, to add to Paul's affliction. How shall we know then what all his talk for Communion signifieth as to practice? With what Bishops in the World must we hold Communion? And how shall we know them? If any prove that any English Bishop causelessly breaketh this Union in any degree, must we separate from him? I know no evasion for him here, unless he will yet distinguish of Unum• Martinius saith, Unus is, 1. Indivisus. 2. Sic indivisus, ut etiam indivisibi••s. 3. Sic indivisas, ut divisibilis. 4. Sic indivisus ut divisus, se• distinctus ab aliis. 5. Unicus solus. 6. Unus cum aliquo, seu idem, aut numero, aut gen•re, aut specie, aut analogia: item Essentia, Persona, Voluntate, aut actu]. But this is Gibberish, I suppose, to the Doctor: Bare Unity is more intelligible, tho no one know wherein it must be.
