St. Irenaeus [lib. 4. cap. 6.] excellently de∣claring, That the Church, and every Spiritu∣al Child thereof, judges and condemns all false Prophets, and Hereticks, of what sort soever: At length concludes with these remarkable words;
The Spiritual man shall judge also all that make Schisms, who are cruel, not having the love of God, and, who respecting more their own private, (to wit, Interest) than the Unity of the Church, mangle, divide, and
(as much as in them lies) kill, for small causes, the great and glorious Body of Christ, (to wit, his Church): Speaking Peace, and seeking Battel. He, (to wit, the Spiritual man) shall judge likewise such as be out of the Truth, that is to say, out of the Church: Which Church shall be under no man's judgment, for to the Church are all things known, in which is perfect Faith of the Father, and of all the Dispensation of Christ, and firm knowledge of the Holy Ghost, that teacheth all Truth.
It is said, Acts 11. 26. That the Disciples were at Antioch first named Christians.
