CHAP. IV. Of SCHISM.
There remains yet one thing to be spoken to, viz. the great crime of Schism, with which we are charged by the Fr. Deb. in his first and second Book very deeply; thus also Dr. Goodman, and this is the common language of them all, both in Pulpit and Press.

To which I would take liberty to speak more largely: That Schism in the Church is a great crime, is readily yielded by understanding men of all parties, and no party will own it, though they be guilty enough of it.
At this day all but Conformists are Schismatics; but to the Prelatical party this sin is a stranger; yea in the time of our troubles, when they were in France, and refused Communion with the French Protestant Churches, yet a Prelatical person was not then, nor can be guilty of Schism, but they were Schismatics in France.
