So saith Marianus Scotus,1 Huius Johannae nomen Authores Pontificij non ponunt, propter turpitudinem rei, & muliebrem sexum: The Chroniclers, that write of the Popes, leave out the name of Pope Joan, both for the shame of the matter, and also for the Woman kind. 2So saith Martinus, Johanna non ponitur in Catalogo Sanctorum Pontificum, tam propter Muliebrem sexum, quàm propter deformitatem facti: Pope Joan is not reckoned in the Calendar of the Holy Popes, as well for that she was a Woman, 3as also for the shame of the matter. So saith Sabellicus, Nullus Defunctae honour habitus. Fama tenet, ob tam foedae rei memoriam: There was no honour bestowed at her burial: 4The report is, for the remembrance of her filthy act. So saithe Johannes de Parisijs: So saith Fasciculus temporum. Therefore this first reason is but a very blind Conjecture, and beareth no force.
