When the Ambassadors of the council were returned from Mentz, and that certain report was made of the allowing of their decrees, the Fathers of the council thought good to discuss the conclusions and verities of the divines more at large: whereupon by commandment of the deputies, all the Masters and Doctors of the clergy, with the residue of the Prelates, were called together into the chapterhouse of the great Church, there openly to dispute and discuss the heresy of Eugenius.
When the Embassadors of the councell were returned from Mentz, and that certaine report was made of the allowing of their decrées, the Fathers of the councell thought good to discusse the conclusions and verities of the diuines more at large: wherevpon by commaundement of the deputies, all the Maisters and Doctors of the clergie, with the residue of the Prelates, were called together into the chapterhouse of the great Church, there openly to dispute and discusse the heresie of Eugenius.
1This disputation continued 6. days, both forenoon, and after noon. Among whom, Cardinal Ludovicus Archb. Arelatensis was the judge of the whole disputation. They concluded according to the former verities, and all in a manner allowed them, except Panormitane, Archbishop, who much disputed against them. Likewise did the bishop of Burgen, the king of Aragons Almoner: yet did they not gainsay the 3. first conclusions, but only those wherein Pope Eugenius was touched. Panormitane greatly contending with the B. of Argens, John Segonius, and Francis de Felix, Divines that Eugenius was not relapsed, wrought so, that the word Relapse, was taken out of the Conclusions, and in stead thereof, the word Prolapse put in. Neither durst Panormitane himself altogether excuse Eugenius of heresy, but defended more the first resolution, than the second: yet departed he not without answer, for John Segonius, 2an expert Divine, fully answered him, and scarce could finish his oration without interruption: for, Panormitane oftentimes interrupting him, went about (disorderly) to confute, now this, and now that reason.
