1This year the French K. caused to be burned 54. Templars at Paris, with the great Master of the order: and by his procurement Pope Clement the fifth, who succeeded Benedict, called a Council at Vienna, where the whole order and sect of Templars being condemned, was shortly after, by the consent of all Christian kings, deposed all in one day.2 The cause why those ungodly Templars were put down, was so abominable and filthy, that it is not with modesty to be named.
