CONFERENCE V.

His Plea, for his not being guilty of _Schism_.

1. _That the Socinian Churches have not forsaken the whole Church Catholick, or the external Communion of it: but only left one part of it that was corrupted; and reformed another part,_ (i.e.) _themselves. Or, that he, and the Socinian Churches, being a part of the Catholick, they have not separated from the whole, because not from themselves._ --. 28.

2. _That their separation being for an error unjustly imposed upon them as a condition of Communion, the Schism is not theirs, who made the separation; but theirs who caused it._ --. 29.

_Besides that, whatever the truth of things be; yet so long as they are required by any Church to profess they believe, what they do not, their separation cannot be said causless, and so Schism._ --. 32.

3. _That though he and his party had forsaken the external Communion of all other Churches, yet not the internal; in which they remain still united to them: both in that internal Communion of_ Charity, _in not condemning all other Churches as non-Catholick; and in that of_ Faith, _in all Essentials and Fundamentals, and in all such points, wherein the Unity of the Church Catholick consists._ --. 30.

4. _That the doctrin of_ Consubstantiality _for which they departed, is denyed by them to be any Fundamental; nor can the Churches, from which they depart for it, be a competent Judge against them, that it is so._ --. 34.

5. _That, though they are separaters from the Roman, yet not from the Reformed Churches, which Churches leave men to the liberty of their own judgment; nor require any internal a.s.sent to their doctrins (in which thing these blame the tyranny of the Roman_ Church) _save only conditional, if any be convinced of the truth thereof; or, not convinced of the contrary._ --. 35.

6. _In fine, that for enjoying and continuing in the Protestant_ Communion _he maketh as full a profession of conformity to her Doctrins as_ Mr. Chillingworth _hath done in several places of his book, which yet was accepted as sufficient._ --. 41.
