As for your Councils, whether they be all, and evermore summoned by the Sprite of God, or no, it may well be doubted. The University of Paris thus protested, by way of Appeal, 1against Pope Leo. 10. & his Councel: Dominus Leo Papa Decimus, in quodam Coetu in Civitate Romana, nescimus qualiter, non tamen in Spiritu Domini, Congregato: Our Lord Pope Leo 10. in a certain Council, gathered in y• City of Rome, by what mean, we know not: but surely not by the Sprite of God. And touching your Late Chapter, or Conventicle, which ye call the Council of Trent,2 the French Kings Ambassador, being there in presence, said thus: Minùs legitima, minusúe libera fuisse dicuntur illa Concilia. Qui aderant, ad voluntatem alterius semper loquebantur: The saying is, that these were neither Lawful, nor Free Councils. The Bishops, that were there, spake (not always of the Spirit of God, but) evermore to please some other: By which, Other, he meant the Pope.
