To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I only observe one thing farther upon this head, that the intermeddling with other men's con- cerns, which would have been accounted a real breach of unity in many other cases, was in this case thought so necessary, that there was no certain wa)?" to preserve the unity of the Catholic Church and Faith without it. And as an instance of this, I have noted in the fore-cited book, that though it was against the ordinary rule of the Church for any bishop to ordain in another man's dio- cese, yet in ...case a bishop turned heretic, and persecuted the orthodox, and would ordain none but heretical men to establish heresy in the diocese, m that case any ortho- dox bishop was not only authorized, but obliged, as op- portunity served, and the needs of the Church required, to ordain Catholic teachers in such a diocese, to oppose the malignant designs of the enemy, and stop the growth of heresy, which might otherwise take deep root, and spread and overrun the Church. Thus Athanasius and the famous Eusebius of Samosata went about the world 67 in the prevalency of the Arian heresy, ordaining in every Church where they came, such clergy as were necessary to support the orthodox cause in such a time of distress and desolation.
