how the Donatists sprung and spred, from a paltry Schisme, about chusing of Cecilianus Bishop of Carthage? But to let passe these remote matters, may we not obserue, and come nearer home, how Schisme hath begotten heresies, heresie, vnchristian hatred, hatred, open war, warre, depopulations, and combustions, that whole Christendome at this day groaneth vnder? How seldome shall wee finde a rent in the Church, that stayeth where it began? much lesse closeth together of its owne accord? Our new Donatists, proue quickly Anabaptists, or Enthusiasts. Our new Manichee's, Atheists. Our new Pelagians, (somewhat worse then old Arians ) beginne to incorporate themselues with the Socinians: These put together, what former heretiques held in severall, and vent it vnderhand amongst vs, to the staggering and scandall of the weaker. The greater ought to be your piety, wisdome, and vigilancy, (Beloved) whom God hath set at the sterne, to see that the ship doe not miscarry. For a litle hole neglected may drowne the greatest vessells, a litle sparke, fire a whole City, and a litle leaven, corrupt the whole lumpe. S. Augustine in his 1. tract vpon Iohn, hath a story of a conference, by a catholique troubled with flyes; whom a Manichee thus takes the vātage of. |

But to let pass these remote matters, may we not observe, and come nearer home, how Schism hath begotten heresies, heresy, unchristian hatred, hatred, open war, war, depopulations, and combustions, that Whole Christendom At this day Groaneth under? How seldom shall we find a rend in the Church, that stays where it began? much less closeth together of its own accord? Our new Donatists, prove quickly Anabaptists, or Enthusiasts. Our new Manichee's, Atheists. Our new Pelagians, (somewhat Worse then old Arians) begin to incorporate themselves with the socinians: These put together, what former Heretics held in several, and vent it underhand among us, to the staggering and scandal of the Weaker. The greater ought to be your piety, Wisdom, and vigilancy, (beloved) whom God hath Set At the stern, to see that the ship do not miscarry. For a little hold neglected may drown the greatest vessels, a little spark, fire a Whole city, and a little leaven, corrupt the Whole lump. S. Augustine in his 1. tract upon John, hath a story of a conference, by a catholic troubled with flies; whom a Manichee thus Takes the vantage of. |
