And so much the more reproueable you are, because S. Cyprians testimonies, which shew him to haue beleeued the Roman Church to be the Catholike Church, and all that are diuided from her, to be Schismatikes, you shift off, with an answeare of Goulartius, that Cyprian spake them of his owne only authority against Schismatikes▪ who troubled his iuris∣diction. Which to be a false, and vnconscionable answeare, you, and your Goulartius may learne from the Centurists, who reprehend S. Cyprian, for teaching, that our Lord hath built his Church vpon Peter; that one Chaire by our Lords voyce is built vpon Peter, as vpon a Rock; that there ought to be one Bishop in the Catholike Church; & for calling Peters chaire, the prin∣cipall Church, from whence Sacerdotall vnity is deriued; and for teaching, that the Roman Church ought to be acknowledged of all others, the Mother, and Roote of the Catholike Church. To these testimonies, acknowledged by the Centurists, I adde, that Cyprian exhorteth Antonianus in time of Schisme, to adhere to the Pope, and hold fast his communion, that is (sayth he) the communion of the Catholike Church, and expres∣sly affirmeth, that, Who-euer resisteth the Chaire of Peter, nether holdeth the fayth, nor is in the Church. And speaking of some certayne heretikes, he obiecteth vnto them their great boldnesse, in presuming to saile to the chaire of Peter, and the prin∣cipall Church, from whence Sacerdotall vnity is deriued, not consi∣dering that the Romans are they▪ whose fayth was praised by the voice of the Apostle, and to whom perfidiousnesse can haue no accesse. To this you answeare: No Father of the primitiue times is more vrged by you, then S. Cyprian; no Epistle more insisted vpon, then this; no words more inculcated, then these; and (we may adde) no Father, no epistle, no sentence more egregiously abused and peruerted: for he speaketh not of perfidiousnesse in doctrine, but only in discipline, by the false and perfidious reportes of schismaticall fellowes &c. If this sentence of S. Cyprian be peruerted, not we, but you peruert it. And so it will appeare to any impartiall Iudge, that shall read the words, not cut short, as you rehearse thē (that the sense may not be vnderstood) but entire, as I haue set thē downe. The Nouatians were not only Schis∣matikes, but heretikes, as S. Cyprian in that epistle, & els
