Of prayer to Saints, & Lights, we shall speak hereafter. Night wakes afterward were condemned, as I remember, in the Council of Carthage, & so Sentence given by the Church with this great Heretic Vigilantius against S. Hierome. Verily the Fathers in a former Council holden at Eliberis in Spain decreed thus:1 Placuit prohiberi ne foeminae in coemiterio peruigilent: quia saepé sub obtentu orationis scelera latenter committunt. It liketh us that women be forbidden to watch at the places of burial: For often under pretence of prayer, privily they commit wickedness. To be short, if Vigilantius were an Heretic for reproving of Night Watches, why hath the Church of Rome so long sithence condemned & abolished the same watches, agreeably to Vigilantius, and contrary to the Judgement of S Hierome?
