Thus also, Acts 11. the Disciples of Antioch, as soon as they understood by the Prophet Agabus, that there would be a Dearth throughout all the World (which is the Scripture-phrase for all Judaea ) they determined to send relief unto the Brethren of Judaea, by the hands of Barnabas and Paul. For the Universal Church is but one Body, whereof Christ is the Head;
Thus, 2 Cor. chap. 8, 9. we find the Apostle exhorting the Corinthians, After the Exampl of the Churches in Macedonia, to a liberal contribution for the poor distressed Saints At Jerusalem. Thus also, Acts 11. the Disciples of Antioch, as soon as they understood by the Prophet Agabus, that there would be a Dearth throughout all the World (which is the Scripture phrase for all Judaea) they determined to send relief unto the Brothers of Judaea, by the hands of Barnabas and Paul. For the Universal Church is but one Body, whereof christ is the Head;
and this strict relation we have to one another, as members of the universal Church, is such, that if one member of it suffer, all the members ought to suffer with it;

Because I have here made mention of the common principles of Christianity, which I call Catholick principles, I shall here explain my self in the words of the most Learned Dr. Beverege, who hath deserved so well of the Church Catholick, in his Prooemium before his Codex Canonum Vindicatus. Si praegrande hoc omnium cujusque seculi Christianorum corpus, quod Catholica sive universa Ecclesia vulgo appellatur, ut ubique, & semper constitutum attenti perlustremus, certa quaedam quasi communia in eo deprehendemus principia, quae totum percurrunt, omnesque illius partes & sibi invicem, & capiti connectunt. Equibus primum, illudque è quo catera oriuntur, est, Sacram Scripturam sive vetus novúmque Testamentum, Divinitùs esse inspiratam — Verum enimvero haec sacra Scriptura, etiamsi in iis, quae ad cujusque salutem absolutè sunt necessaria, praeceptis clarissima sit & omnibus manifesta; quantum tamen ad doctrinam spectat, & externam Ecclesiae disciplinam, ea pro ipsâ suâ altitudine non uno codémque sensu ab omnibus accipitur — ut observavit olim Vincent. Lirinensis, & ex haereticis, & schismaticis satis supérque constat, qui nempe singuli pravas suas opiniones, praxésque è sacris Scripturis suo modo interpretatis, cliciunt. In hujusmodi itaque rebus si non errandi, nec offendendi certi esse velimus, imprimis procul omni dubio cavendum est, nè privatis nostris aliorum opinionibus, aut conjecturis, pertinaces nimis adhaereamus, sed nobiscum potiùs recolamus, quid universa Ecclesia, vel maxima saltem pars Christianorum de istis senserint, & in cá acquiescamus sententiá, in quam Christiani per omnia secula consenserunt: quemadmodum enim omni in re consensus omnium vox naeturae est, ut ait Cicero, sic etiam in hujusmodi rebus consensus omnium Christianorum vox Evangelii meritò habeatur. Multa autem sunt, quae licet in sacris Scripturis expresse, ac definitè non legantur, communi tamen omnium Christianorum consensione ex iis eruantur. Ex. gr. Tres distinctas in sacrosanctá Trinitate Personas venerandas esse, Patrem, Filium & Spiritum Sanctum, hósque singulos verum esse Deum, & tamen unum tantummodo esse Deum: Christum NONLATINALPHABET esse, verè Deum, ac verè hominem in unâ eâdemque personâ. Hac & similia, quamvis totidem verbis ac syllabis nec in veteri, nec in novo instrumento tradantur, de iis tamen, ut utroque fundatis inter omnes semper convenit Christianos, demptis tantummodo paucis quibusdam haereticis, quorum in religione haud major habenda est ratio, quam monstrorum in naturâ. Sic etiam Infantes sacro Baptismate abluendos esse, & sponsores ad illud Sacramentum adhibendos: dominicum sive primam per singulas septimanas feriam religiosè observandam esse: Passionis, Resurrectionis & Ascensionis Domini ad Coelum, nec non Spiritûs Sancti adventûs commemorationem per singulos annos peragendam: Ecclesiam ubique per Episcopos à Presbyteris distinctos, iisque Praelatos administrandam esse. Haec — per mille & quadringentos ab Apostolis annos in publicum Ecclesiae usum ubique recepta fuerunt, nec ullam intra illud tempus invenire est Ecclesiam in ea non consentientem, adeò ut quasi communes sint notiones omnium ab origine Christianorum animis insitae, non tam ex ullis particularibus Scripturae locis, quam ex omnibus: ex generali totius Evangelii scopo, & tenore, ex ipsâ religionis in eo stabilitae natura & proposito, atque ex constanti denique Apostolorum traditione, qui Ecclesiasticos hujusmodi ritus, & generales, ut ita loquar, Evangelii interpretationes per universum terrarum orbem unà cum fide propagarunt. Alioquin enim non credibile, imò vero impossibile prorsus esset, ut tam unanimi consensione ubique & semper ab omnibus reciperentur. Vid. etiam Cassandri defensionem officii pii viri, adversus Calvinum.
