Whereupon Augustine putteth this difference between ⟨p. 199⟩Heretics and Schismatics, that Heretics indeed do with false doctrines corrupt the pureness of Faith, but the Schismatics sometime where there is like Faith, break the bond of fellowship, for this conjoining of charity so hangeth upon the unity of Faith, that Faith ought to be the beginning, the end, & only rule, for so oft as the unity of the Church is commended unto us, this is required, that while our minds agree in Christ,1 our wills also may be joined together with mutual well willing in Christ.
