And what credit may we give to your Safe conducts? 1Jacobus Nachiantes. the Bishop of Chioca, for that he had simpered out one half word of truth to the misliking of the Legates, was fain to run to Rome, to crepe to the Popes feet, and to crave Pardon. Ye shamefully betrayed, & cruelly murdered John Huss, & Hieronymus Pragensis in your Council of Constance. Neither y• Protection of the Emperor, nor the Popes Safe conduct was able to save them. No, your selves have already ruled y• case in your said Council. For thus yee saie, Fides non est seruanda Hereticis: Ye may hold no Faith unto them, that ye call Heretics. Such is the Safety,2 and Liberty of your Councils.
