Now I do appeal to any reasonable impartial man alive, whether there be any more notorious Schismatics on earth, then these men; that dare unchurch the far greatest part of Christs Church on earth at present, & the far purest, and renounce communion with them all, and proclaim them Heretics or Schismatics, and sentence them all to the flames of Hell: Yea that dare do the like by all ages of Christians that have gone before them; yea that dare unchurch and damn to Hell the whole Church of Christ for many hundred years! For what do they less when they unchurch and damn all that acknowledge not their new made universal Bishop which the Primitive Church never did? And when they make that to be essential to the Catholic Church ⟨p. 124⟩which the first Catholic Church did never know? I know there be some Enthusiasts and Anabaptists and such giddy persons, that do as the Papists do, condemn all the Churches of Christ except themselves. But yet the Schism that they have made hereby is nothing to that which was made by the Papists, who have set the Christian world into a flame of dissension, and make it their very business daily to b•ow •t up; and do nourish so many Colleges of Jesuits and other orders to that end.
