That a schism must not be made, even although he who withdraws should remain in one faith, and in the same tradition.

In Ecclesiasticus, in Solomon: "He that cleaveth firewood shall be endangered by it if the iron shall fall off." 1 Also in Exodus: "In one house shall it be eaten: ye shall not cast forth the flesh abroad out of the house." 2 Also in the cxxxiid Psalm: "Behold how good and how pleasant a thing it is that brethren should dwell in unity!" 3 Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth." 4 Also in the first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians: "But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that ye be all joined together in the same mind and in the same opinion." 5 Also in the sixty-seventh Psalm: "God, who maketh men to dwell with one mind in a house." 6
