It  is  true  that  no  General  Council  (whose  Canons  only  did
bind  the  whole  Church)  was  to  be  holden  without  the  pre-
sence of  the  Bishops  of  the  four  chief  Sees,  by  themselves  or
their  deputies.  But  what  is  this  more  to  Rome,  than  to  Con-
stantinople, Alexandria,  or  Antioch  ?  All  is  but  Sacerdotalis
lex^,  Canon  Ecclesiasticus^,'&s  they  are  there  termed.
XXI.  Succession  without  interruption.     3.  1^5

We  plead  there  is  no  interruption  in  the  Succession  of  our
Church.     And  so  this  Article  fights  with  a  shadow,

XXII.  Distinction  of  Bishop  and  Priest.     3.
Our  Church  doth  hold,  there  is  a  distinction  between  Bishop
and  Priest,  and  that,  de  Jure  divino.  So  this  toucheth  not
us.
XXIII.     Points  of  Opinion.     7.
Neither  are  these  to  the  point,  or  touch  the  outward  Face
of  the  Church ;  neither  do  we  hold  them.
1.  We  hold  Freewill  as  Saint  Augustine  held  it".
3.  We  hold  good  works  necessary  to  Salvation :  and  that
faith  without  them  saveth  not ".
