When the 16. day of May was come, all they whom the Session pleased, assembled at the hour: the Ambassadors also of the princes were come together into the Church quire, to attempt further what they could do: and sending the Bishops of Lubeck, and Concense, and the Dean of Turnon, an excellent learned learned man, they offered themselves to be present at the Session, if the deposition of Eugenius might be deferred yet 4. months: who when they had received a gentle answer of Arelatensis, and the other principals, returning again, the Ambassadors would have only the first conclusion decreed: and thereupon sent again unto Arelatensis, unto whom answer was made, that the chief force did consist in the two other conclusions,, and that the Council would specially determine upon them: with which answer they departed, and the Session began to be celebrated, and Arelatensis caused prayers and lamentations to be made,1 with lamentations and tears, that God would direct them. Although there were not many Bishops, yet all the seats were filled, with Bishops, Proctors, Archdeacons, Presidents, Priors, &c. to the number of 400. or more, all in great peace, exhorting one another to the profession of the faith. The B. of Massilia, a Noble man, read the decree, which was attentively hearkened unto, and not one word interrupted: when it was ended, Te Deum laudamus was song, with great joy and gladness: and so the session dissolved, which was the 33. Session; and amongst all the rest, most quiet and peaceable.2
