But yet when I say I am a Reformed Catholic, I purposely disclaim the Corruptions of Popery, and in that word renounce their Errors as such, as by the word Catholic I renounced their Schism: And so I may agree with Luther, Calvin or any man in Reformation, so far as they hold to the word of God: so that if malicious adversaries will put the name of ⟨p. 10⟩Sect upon the Catholic verity, and call it by the name of Zwinglianism, Lutheranism, Calvinis•• or the like, pretending that it had its spring from these men, they shall not by such unworthy means, remove me from the Catholic Religion, nor yet cause me to own their Corruptions, because they have named the opposition of them as a Heresy Augustine would not turn Donatist, because they named the Catholics Caecilians; nor would Prosper turn Pelagian, because they called the Orthodox, Predestinarians or Fatalists, nor would Athanasius before them turn Arian because they called the Orthodox Tritheists. It is not other mens fastening upon us the name of a man, or of a Sect that proves us Sectaries, or that we had our Religion originally from that man. Yet do we so much reverence their names, that we rejoice in their labours for the Church, and bless God for them, and endeavour to imitate them in their holy doctrine and lives, though we make none but Christ the Lord of our Faith
