Where true, and good matter wanteth, for defence of this cause, these men care not what they bring, so they make a show of some Learning, to deceive the unlearned. First, for condemnation of Heretics, by sentence of a Civil Magistrate, they allege the name of the long Council of Chalcedon, not showing in what Action or part thereof it may be found. True it is, that all these three are named in that Council, Dioscorus, Ivvenalis, and Thalassius.* But that all three were condemned, we find not. Much less, that were condemned by any Civil Magistrate, do we find. The condemnation of Dioscorus Archbishop of Alexandria, was pronounced by the Legates of the Pope of Rome, in form as followeth.
VVhere true, and good mater wanteth, for defence of this cause, these menne care not what thei bringe, so they make a shewe of some Learning, to deceiue the vnlearned. Firste, for condemnation of Heretiques, by sentence of a Ciuil Magistrate, they alleage the name of the long Councel of Chalcedon, not shewing in what Action or parte thereof it maie be founde. True it is, that al these three are named in that Councel, Dioscorus, Iuuenalis, and Thalassius.* But that al three were condemned, wee finde not. Mutche lesse, that were condemned by any Ciuil Magistrate, doo we finde. The condemnation of Dioscorus Archebishop of Alexandria, was pronounced by the Legates of the Pope of Rome, in forme as foloweth.
