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 ...

LXXXIV. Const. Pogonat. called a General Council at C. P. called the 6th, which condemned Macarius Bishop of Ant. and the pacificatory Epistles of P. Honorius and Sergius as Heretical, and all that were for One Will, and One Operation of Christ; 1. As denominated a naturis & earum principiis seu facultatibus, the Divine and Humane Will and Operations were and are Two: 2. As denominated ab unitate persona; they are the Will and Operations of One person, and so far may be called One. 3. As denominated ab unitate objectiva they are One: The Divine and Humane Nature will the same thing, so far as the Humane willeth, and do so far the same work: But if any will make a new Heresy by disputing whether the Divine Nature alone do not will and act somewhat without the volition and action of the Humane (since the Incarnation) they shall have no company of mine in it. 4. In the sense as the Operation of the principal and instrumental Cause are One, producing One Effect; so Christ's Divine and Humane Operations are One. 5. As Consent denominateth Unity, and the Old Christians are said to be of One heart and soul, One mind and mouth; and Christ prayeth that we may be One in him, so his Will and Operation are One. 6. Yea if there be a sort of Union between Christ & his Members, and between the Blessed in Heaven, which is quite beyond our present comprehension, it is much much more so between Christ's Divine and Humane Will and Operations.
