Inexpiabilis & gravis est culpa discordiae, nec passione purgatur. Cypr. de Unit. Aliud altare constitui, aut sacerdotium novum fieri praeter unum altare, & unum sacerdotium non potest; Quisquis alibi collegerit, spargit: Procul ab hujusmodi hominum contagione discedite; vitate lapos qui oves à Pastore secernunt. Id. Ep. 40.

Nec Episcopus computari potest, qui Evangelica & Apostolica traditione contemptâ•, nemini succedens à seipso ortus est. Cypr. Ep. 76. Constat id esse ab Apostolis Traditum, quod apud Ecclesias Apostolicas fuerit sacrofanctum ▪ Tertul. adv. Marc. 4.5. Habemus annumerare eos, qui ab Apostolis instituti sunt Episcopi in Ecclesiis, & successores eorum usque ad nos. Iren. l. 3.3. When I shall see all the Fables in the Metamorphosis acted, and prove Stories; when I shall see all the Democracies and Aristocracies in the World lie down and Sleep, and awake into Monarchies; then will I begin to believe that Presbyterial Government, having continued in the Church during the Apostles times, should presently after (against the Apostles Doctrine, and the Will of Christ) be whirl'd about like a Scene in a Masque, and transformed into Episcopacy. In the mean time, Episcopacy being confessed to be so Ancient and Catholick, must be granted also to be Apostolick. Chillingw. p. 324.
