R. Is it the Clergy only, or the Laity only; or must it be both?
P. Both, but not equally; but in their several places.
R. Must it be All the Church, without any excepted? Or only the greater part?
P. These are points not agreed of, and therefore not of faith. Some say that it must be so many as that the dissenters be not considerable. But how many are considerable or inconsiderable is undetermined. Others say, It may be the minor part that practise, so be it the rest do not contradict it, or do contrarily.
R. I will trouble you with no more such questions, (though I have a multitude which should be here resolved) for I perceive that we must expect nothing but a Maze of uncertainties and confusion. We are next in order to Agree upon our common principles which must be supposed in our following Dispute: For they that Agree in nothing, are uncapable of disputing of any thing; seeing all conclusions of which we doubt, must be drawn from more evident truths, of which we are less doubtful, and resolved into a conceded Principle.
