To whom after Arelatensis had made answer, he commanded the form of the decree to be read. Then Panormitane and those that were of his part, would needs have a certain protestation first to be read. There was great contention on every side: notwithstanding, at the last, Arelatensis prevailed, and the form of the decree was read unto this word Decernimus, that is, we decree. Then Panormitane rising up, would not suffer it to be read any further, and the Bishop of Patavia said, that it was uncomely, that Arelatensis with a few Bishops by name, should conclude the matter: the like did also all they that favoured Panormitane. The Cardinal of Terraconia also did grievously ⟨p. 370⟩rebuke his partakers, that they did not read the protestation: and commanded one of his familiars to read it. But the fathers of the Council would not give place to the reading of the protestation. Which when Albinganensis did consider, he commanded the writing to be given unto him, and as he began to speak, suddenly Arelatensis rose up, with a great number of the Fathers to depart: but by the means of George the Prothonotary of Bardaxina, the multitude which were departing, were called back again, and the Cardinal and the Patriarch were required to sit down again, and that they should not leave the church void & quiet for the adversaries: whereupon suddenly all the whole multitude sat down, and the gates were shut again.
