Of the greate contearieties, discordes & dissentiōs that haue ben in many of the auncient Councels, betvvene the By∣shops, and the Ministers of the Churche.

D. LEt vs procede: and for greater proofe of that whiche we haue said, let men see in the hystories of ye Church what the partialities, the bandes and dissentions of the Bi∣shops haue done, in the Councels holden in Tyr, in Ierusa¦lem, in Antioche, in Sirmie, and at Constantinople. More∣ouer * 1.1 howe hath the Councell of Alexandrie troubled that of Calcedonie, and the Councell of Antioche, that of Ephesus. There arose so great trouble in Christendome, and it was so denided and was so full of sectes, Scismes, heresies and humane affections, that if men shoulde haue gyuen more place to the fauour of Emperors, kinges and princes, to the assembles of Popes and Bishops, to the authoritie of Coun¦cels, to the arte and eloquence of Orators, to the subtilitie & vnderstandyng of Philosophers, thē to the truth, it had ben nedefull to haue abrogated, cassed, vndone, and abolished, that whiche had ben agreed, determined and hollyly confes∣sed for Christe, and for the Christian doctrine, in the Coun∣cels of Nice, Millane, Sardice, Corduba and such like, ma∣ny other Councels, whiche were holden after them, would haue ouerthrowē all that euer was determined and agreed vpon in them, which had not much lesse apparence then the others. Yf they had not so much or more. And the matters wherof the differences did growe, were of no small impor¦taunce. For there was question of the diuinitie of Christ a∣gaynst * 1.2 the Arrians, for the whiche the Bishops of the East and Weast did celebrate & holde Councels, the one against the other, the one sorte condemnyng the cause and doctrine of the Arrians, the other sorte approuyng and maintay∣nyng the same.
