And, to allege one in stead of many, Cardinal Cusanus hereof hath written thus: Donationem Constantini diligenter expendens, reperi ex ipsamet Scripture. ⟨p. 538⟩manifesta argumenta Confictionis & Falsitatis:1 Advisedly weighing this Donation, or Grant of constantine,2 (whereby the Pope claimeth all his Temporal power) even in the penning thereof, I find manifest tokens of falsehood, and forgery.

Again he saithe, Sunt, meo judicio, illa de Constantino, Apocrypha: Sicut etiam fortassis quaedam alia longa, & magna scripta Sanctis, Clementi, & Anacleto Papae ascripta. Ipsae enim Epistolae, applicatae ad tempus illorum Sanctorum, seipsas produnt: By my judgement these Charters of Constantine are forged: as perhaps are also other loge, and great Letters, that bear the name of S. Clement, and Pope Anacletus. For the Letters them selves, applied unto the time of these Holy Fathers, betray them selves.
