As for your Greek Doctor Hieromonachus, he shall be stalled together with your Clemens, Leontius, Amphilochius, and other like your worthy ⟨p. 539⟩and Weighty Doctors. 1For shame, what should ye bring us this one silly poor Greek witness, whose name ye never heard before, to testify of Grants and Conveyances made in Rome? Can your Pope find out neither Council, nor Doctor, nor Father, nor any other Writer of likely record, to help him in so great a case, but only one poor rascal Grecian, that knew no more of the matter, then you your selves? It betrayeth the neediness of your cause. He that durst so lewdly to falsify such a Grant, thereby to intrude him self into the possession of the Empire, would not blush to falsify some Beggarly Witness, to avouch the same.
