If you believe not this, as the witness of a Catholic writer, then believe Anselmus Rid an earnest professor of your own the newest Gospel.1 Who writeth that Adrian the Bishop of Rome, and King Charles, at the Council holden at Frankfurt, execrated, and accursed as Heretical, the Council of the Empire of Constantinople and of the Greeks, which they held for the abolishing of Saints Images. Those be his very words. Believe Peucerus Philip Melanchthon's son in law writing, that the Council of Nice, was kept by common consent of the Greek Emperor and of Charles. If the second Council of Nice, which was altogether for Images, was holden by consent of Charles, how held he a Council in Germany, for putting away Images, against the Council of Nice? Believe Carrion, and specially Pantaleo of Zurich, a man of your own the most Evangelical Religion, who upon warrant of the authority of Regino writeth, that the Council of Frank ford abrogated, and disannulled the Greeks Council, that was against the worship of Images. Briefly, how falsely you and sundry other of your sect have herein belied that worthy Prince Charles the great, it may easily appear by that Paulus Aemylius writeth of him: That he sent twelve Bishops out of France to the Council then holden at Lateran in Rome, in which the Imagebreakers false named and forged Council was abrogated.
If you beleue not this, as the witnes of a Catholike writer, then beleue Anselmus Rid an erneste professour of your owne the newest Gospell.1 VVho writeth that Adrian the Bishop of Rome, and Kinge Charles, at the Councel holden at Frankforde, execrated, and accursed as Heretical, the Councel of the Empiere of Constantinople and of the Greekes, whiche they helde for thabolishinge of Sainctes Images. Those be his very woordes. Beleue Peucerus Philip Melancthons sonne in lawe writinge, that the Councel of Nice, was kepte by common consente of the Greeke Emperoure and of Charles. If the seconde Councel of Nice, whiche was altogeather for Images, was holden by consente of Charles, howe helde he a Councel in Germanie, for puttinge awaie Images, againste the Councel of Nice? Beleue Carion, and specially Pantaleo of Zurich, a man of your owne the moste Euangelical Religion, who vpon warrante of thauthoritie of Regino writeth, that the Councel of Frank forde abrogated, and disanulled the Greekes Councel, that was againste the woorship of Images. Briefely, howe falsely you and sundrie other of your secte haue herein belied that woorthy Prince Charles the greate, it maie easely appeare by that Paulus Aemylius writeth of him: That he sente twelue Bishops out of Fraunce to the Councel then holden at Laterane in Rome, in whiche the Imagebreakers false named and forged Councel was abrogated.
