S. Cyprian declaringe the contempte of the 93 High Priest Christes Vicar in earthe, to be cause of Schi••mes and Heresies, writeth thus to Cornelius Pope, and Martyr. Neque enim aliunde Hae∣reses obortae sunt &c. Neither haue Haeresies, or Schismes risen of any other occasion, then of that, the Prieste of God is not obeied, and that one Priest for the time in the Churche, and one Iudge for the
time in steede of Christe, is not thought vpon. To whom if the whole brotherhead, (95* 1.1 that is the whole number of Christian people whiche be brethren togeather, and were so called in the Primitiue Churche) woulde be obedient accordinge to Goddes teachinges:* 1.2 then no man woulde make a doo against the Colledge of Pries••es: no man woulde make him selfe Iudge, not of the Bishop nowe, but of God, after Goddes iudgement, after the fauour of the people declared by their voices at the election, after the consent of his felow bishoppes: No man through breache of vnitie, and strife, woulde diuide the Churche of Christe: No man standinge in his owne conceite, and swelling with pride, woulde set vp by him selfe abroade without the Churche a new Heresie.
The .95. vn¦truth, stan∣ding in the manifest corruption and falsifie∣inge of S. Cyprian.
