So writeth Johannes de Parisijs of Pope Cyriacus:1 Cyriacus Papa renuntiavit officio, ut cum Ursula, & Virginibus palmam Martyrij susciperet. Sed iste Cyriacus in Catalogo Paparum non annumeratur: quia credebant, ipsum non propter devotionem, sed propter oblectamentum virginum dimisisse Episcopatum: Pope Cyriacus gave over his Bishopric, that with Ursula, and other Maids he might receive the Crown of Martyrdom. But this Cyriacus is not reckoned in the Calendar of the Popes: for that it was believed, he had given over his Bishopric, not of devotion, but for some fantasy towards the maids.

But, to come near the purpose, and to the force of your guesses, therefore was Pope Johanes name left out of the Calendar of the Bishops of Rome, not for that there never was any such Pope there: but only for shame, lest it should appear in record, and afterward be reported for ever, that a woman, and such a woman, had been Bishop of Rome: or, that the Bishop of Rome had been with Child.
