The next day after, being the 25. of April, the Archb. of Lyons, and the Bishop of Burgen calling together the Prelates into the Chapter house of the great Church, began many things as touching peace. The Bishop of Burgen persuaded, that there should be deputations appointed that day, unto whom, the Archbishop of Lions should give power to make an agreement. Unto whom it was said, there could be no agreement, before the adversaries confessed their fault, and desired pardon therefore. Anon after, the Fathers of the Council had drawn out a form of a decree upon the former conclusions, and had approved the same in the sacred deputations. By this time the Princes Orators were returned from the assembly at Mentz: and holding a Council among them selves, they had determined to let the decree.

Wherein this was also contained, that the Cardinal Arelatensis might appoint a Session, whensoever he would: which having read, and being desired by the promoters, concluded as the manner and custom is.
