But I confess this is a ready way to end the Controversies between the Bishops of several Churches which shall be greatest, if they be all but one.

But I hope that when the Bishop of Rome and his Church was corrupted, it is not true that every Bishop and Church fell with him, (or with any that hath turned to Mahumetanism.)

To be no longer on this, (which I thought no Prelatist would ever have put me on) if these men speak not notoriously against Scripture, against the constant Language of Canons and Fathers, Historians and Lawyers, and all Antiquity, and all Christian Countries and Divines, (yea, even those that at Trent would have had only the Pope to be of immediate Divine Right) then I know not any thing by Reading. And if poor Nonconformists must be put to defend themselves against such singularities, and be Schismatics unless they will differ from all the Christian World of all Ages, there is no Remedy.
