I will stop your mouth now but with the last words of Sulpitius Severus. History. [Ac inter nostrios perpetuum discordiurum bellum exarserat: quod jam per quindecim annos faedis dissentionibus agitatum nullo modo sop•ri poterat? Et nunc cum maximè discordiis Episcoporum turbari ac misceri omnia cernerentur, cunctaque per eos odio: aut gratiâ, metu, inconstantia, invidia, faction, libidine, avaritia, arrogantia, somno, desidia essent depravata, postremo Plures adversum paucos been consule•tes infanis conciliis & pertinacibus studiis ⟨p. 23⟩certabant: Inter haec plebs Dei & optimus quisque probro at que ••dibri• habebatur.] Read the Author, lest you think I made these words for our times. And of their Captain Bishop he saith, [Certe Ithacium nihil pensi, nihil sancti habuisse definio: Fuit enim audax, loquax, impudens, sumptuosus, ventri & gulae plurimum impertiens, hic stultitiae eo usque processit, ut omnes etiam sanctos viros quibus aut studium in erat lectionis, aut propositum erat certare jejuniis tanquam Priscilliani socios in crimen arcesseret.] (And yet saith that the Persecution of the Priscillianists did but increase them.) Pardon this digression, by which you may see that if you be not responsible for all that Councils, and the Major part of Bishops say or do, much less are we for the verbal Error of one or a few men, though fathered by them on many▪ whereby they necessitate these our open disclaimings of their words.
