§. 6.

Cath.

But every Society thus professing, is it thereby the same Church which we are taught to believe in the Creed?

Prot.

It is at least a part of that Church.

Cath.

Are then Societies of Heretics and Schismatics part of that one Church, since they also profess the Religion which they believe to have been taught by Christ?

Prot.

No: For they cut themselves off from this one Church, either by inventing New and false Doctrines, which renders them Heretics, that is, Chusers of a new Faith: Or by disobeying the Lawful Commands of this one Church, which renders them Schismatics, that is, Rebels.
