In the 14. Session came in ye resignatiō of P. Gregory 12.
The 37. Session did publish definitive sentence against the 3. pope Benedict: & in the 39. they proceeded to elect a new pope, & on S. Martins even they chose one,1 & therefore named him Martin: who according to the custom was honourably brought by the Council, and the Emper. into the church of Constance, unto the monastery of S. Austine, to be crowned:2 the Emp. on foot, leading his horse by the bridle on the right hand: the marquess of Brandemburgh prince elector, also leading his horse on the left hand: the P. himself riding in the midst on his palfrey. The Council being dissolved, a cardinal was sent by the P. named Anthony, to declare his Indulgence unto them: who granted to every point in that coū cel, full absolution once in their life, so that every one within 2. months after the hearing of this Indulgence should procure the same in form of writing. Also an other Indulgence was granted of full remission at the hour of death: & that was aswell understood of the household, as the Masters them selves; but under this condition that from the time of notification of the same,3 they should fast every Friday for the space of one whole year, for absolution in their life time. And for absolution in the hour of death, that they should fast an other year in like sort, except some lawful impediment: so that after the second year, they should fast out their lives ⟨p. 322⟩end, or else do some other good work. This being proclaimed, the Synod brake up, and every man departed.
