What hope we might conceive of your Late Chapter of Trident, we were sufficiently warned by the former, holden under Pope Paulus. 3. and Pope Julius. 3. wherein, notwithstanding your many years study, and great conference of so many, and so Learned, and so excellent, and so much a do, yet in the end, ye were never able, neither to suppress your open stews, nor to avoid your Priests Concubines, nor to cause your Bishops to be resident upon their Charge, and to do their duties, nor to resolve us, whether the Pope be above the Council, 1or the Council above the Pope. In the Summon, and first Entry of your Assembly there, Pope Paul had forgotten Christ, and left him quite out of Company, and supplied the want of him, with the Authority of Peter, and Paul. An other of your Reverend Fathers there, maketh Mary the Blessed Virgin, Equal with Christ, and calleth her, his most Faithful Felowe: Fidelissimam Christi Sociam. An other of the same Company telleth us, that the Pope is the Light, that is come into the world: Papa Lux venit in Mundum. To be short, the whole Issue, and Conclusion of all your doings there, by the full agreement of all your Fathers,2 hangeth upon the Popes only pleasure. And, by your Doctrine, the Pope may not be controlled, what so ever he do, neither by the Clergy, nor by all the whole World. And, what so ever the Pope shall will, to stay, or pass, your Doctors tell us, His only Will must stand for Law.
What hope wee might conceiue of your Late Chapter of Tridente, wée were sufficiently warned by the former, holden vnder Pope Paulus. 3. and Pope Iulius. 3. wherein, notwithstandinge your many yéeres studie, and greate conference of so many, and so Learned, and so excellente, and so mutche a doo, yet in the end, yée were neuer hable, neither to suppresse your open stewes, nor to auoide your Priestes Concubines, nor to cause your Bishoppes to be residente vpon theire Charge, and to doo theire deuties, nor to resolue vs, whether the Pope be aboue the Councel,
