CHAP. LIII.
Could the former terms of Peace be yielded to, it would be happy for the Churches; and I am persuaded were it not for the Italians, the French would yield to them. And some Protestants will go further, and yield to Rome; that if Papists ⟨p. 371⟩will confine their Faith, and Government, and Worship but to those limits as the Greeks, Armenians, Ethiopians, &c. do, they will readily hold this Catholic Communion with them. But then we must still remember, 1. That we will not be bound to approve of all that they do. 2. Nor shall they go about to force all others to rise up to their pitch; nor do as the English Bishops would have done, to silence and cast out all those Ministers that will not go beyond the Scriptures. You shall bear with all that will be Ruled by the Scripture, and we will bear with all that will not go beyond the said General Councils, or Codex Canonum Ecclesiae universalis: Yea, and admit such to our Society and Assemblies.
