A Council may testify the trueth to be truth, but it cannot make falsehood to be truth. Augustine answered most indifferently, writing to Maximinus a Bishop of the Arians that alleged a ⟨image 50⟩general council holden at Ariminum. Nec ego Nicenum, nec tu debes Arimincuse tan quā praeiudicaturus 1proferre concilium, &c. Neither may I lay to thee the council of Nice, nor mayest thou lay to me the council of Ariminum, either of us thinking thereby to find prejudice against the other: But let us lay matter to matter, cause to cause and reason to reason, by the authority of the Scriptures, which are indifferent witnesses for both.

When Agisilaus minded to make his passage with his army through his neighbours land, he desired licence of the prince of that country: the prince said, he could make him no ready answer, but that he would take advise of his council. Well then said Agesilaus, take you advisement: in the mean season, I will pass through. So when our adversaries delay off, & sojourn till they may take their deliberation in a council, let them deliberate while they will: but in the mean season, let us pass on in the business of God, and take the occasion offered us to build by a house to the Lord.
