Well; but let us follow you, though our cause be not concerned in it. 1. I answer, that we accuse you not of renouncing the name of Christ. 2. We must needs fear, that according to to your own definition of Heresy, you are guilty of many Heresies.

And to your Questions, I answer. 1. I pray you tell us what General Councils did ever condemn one half of the Heresies mentioned by Epiphanius, Augustine or Philastrius? Was there ever a greater rabble of Heresies then before ever a General Council was known? and were they dead and buried before the first General Council was born? 2. Did you not smile when you wrote these delusory Questions? How can a General Council condemn you, or any great part of the Church: for instance the Greeks, &c. If you be not there its not a General Council? And will you be there to condemn your selves? you have more wit and less grace then so. And I pray, what General Council ⟨p. 248⟩did ever condemn the Greeks, for those many errors charged on them? If the Greeks themselves were not there, it was not a General Council; so considerable a part are they of the Church. And what General Council hath condemned the Abassines, Egyptians, &c.
