Reconcil. The Word Heretics, is variously used as men are inclined: 1. Of all that are stiff in any hurtful Error, against sound Doctrine; and so all or most Christians are Heretics. For all have many Errors, and all men are too stiff in their own conceits. 2. For those that consequentially subvert Essentials. Amesius is not singular, who saith (in Cas. Consc.) that Theology is so concatenated, that every Error by consequence (near or remote) subverteth the Foundation. I would except only Genealogies, Chronologies, Topography, Grammar, & some Prophecies & Positives: But of mere morals it is not improbable. ⟨p. 46⟩3. For all that Schismatically separate from the Apostolical Churches and their Communion, and gather Sects to themselves, for the promoting of their Errors; I provoke you to name to me any Text of Scripture, that calleth any by the reproved Name of Heretics, that did not separate from the Catholic Church? Though all Schismatics be not Heretics (for some cause divisions in the Church, and yet depart not from it): Yet all Heretics in scripture-sense were Schismatics; for [Greek or Hebrew] signifieth •ot only the choosing of a new Doctrine, but also a new separated Sect and Church, for the promoting of it.
