The true history of councils enlarged and defended against the deceits of a pretended vindicator of the primitive church, but indeed of the tympanite & tyranny of some prelates many hundred years after Christ, with a detection of the false history of Edward Lord Bishop of Cork and Ross in Ireland ... and a preface abbreviating much of Ludolphus's History of Habassta : written to show their dangerous error, who think that a general council, or college of bishops, is a supreme governor of all the Christian world ... / by Richard Baxter ... ; to which is added by another hand, a defence of a book, entitled, No evidence for diocesan churches ...The true history of councils enlarged and defended against the deceits of a pretended vindicator of the primitive church, but indeed of the tympanite & tyranny of some prelates many hundred years after Christ, with a detection of the false history of Edward Lord Bishop of Corke and Rosse in Ireland ... and a preface abbreviating much of Ludolphus's History of Habassta : written to shew their dangerous errour, who think that a general council, or colledge of bishops, is a supream governour of all the Christian world ... / by Richard Baxter ... ; to which is added by another hand, a defence of a book, entituled, No evidence for diocesan churches ...

Apparet Papam & scriptores Pontificios haec verba contra Nestorium calumniose & veteratorie finxisse, quod Christum pro puro homine & non pro Deo, & quod unum Christum pro duabus personis vel gemino Christo habuerit.—Nestorius fuit homo inflatus tumens Pharisaico fastu, & indoctus; Et cum subito esset evectus ad supremum fastigium Ecclesiae, adeo ut haberetur pro summo Pontifice, Patriarcha, somniabat see unum antecellere doctrina & eruditione omnes homines in toto genere humano, nec sibi opus esse lectione librorum qui erant scripti à Majoribus aut aliis, nec in explicatione magnaram rerum retinendos esse modos loquendi antiquitus receptos in Ecclesia puriore; sed quia & voce valebat, & ex temporali sacundia volebat esse [Greek or Hebrew], Doctor vel Magister, & sormas loquendi quibus ipse uteretur tantum recipiendas esse in Ecclesia, non alias. Et tali sastu armatus adoriebatur illum articulum. Maria est mater Dei, aut genetrix Dei; Ibi vicissim Episcopos in adversa part invenit perinde inflatos, quibus vehementer displicebat. Nestorii sastus, in primis Cyrillum Alexandrinum: quia tunc nullus erat Augustinus aut Ambresius.—p. 189. Hinc manifestum est, quod Nestorius ut homo imprudens & vanissima persuasion adductus, loquatur quidem bono zelo de Christo: sed ⟨p. 177⟩ex mera inscitia non intelligat quid & quomodo loquatur.—p. 192. Non est Nestorii error quod Christum credit tantum esse purum hominem, nec in duas personas eum dirimi; sed duas naturas Deum & hominem in una persona uniri satetur: sed communicationem idiomatum non vult concedere. Objiciat autem hic aliquis, Nestorium insidiose confessum esse, quod Christus Deus sit & una persona. Resp. Quod non: Tam ingeniosus enim & industrius non suit, sed serio ita judicavit.—Ad haec accessit aliorum Episcoporum insolentia, qui non cogitaverunt quomodo sananda essent talia vulnera, sed multo magis irritandis & refricandis causam dederunt. Vide caetera.
