Ye say, a Provincial Council may not repeal a Council General: as if the Authority of your Councils stood only in number, and not in Truth. Howe be it, the Simple Truth of God shall overweigh Falsehood, be it never so General. But even thus said Auxentius, the Arian Heretic, against S. Hilary. These be his words, Ego quidem, pijssimi Imperatores, existimo, non oportere sexcentorum Episcoporum Unitatem, post rantos labores, ex contentione Paucorum hominum refricari: My most Gracious Lords, in my Judgement, it is not meet, after so great pains taken, for the contentions striving of a few, to hazard the consent, and Unity of Six hundred Bishops. Thus the Heretic Auxentius alleged great multitudes of his Companions, against S. Hilary, and the Catholics: which, he said, were but a few.

These be his woordes, Ego quidem, pijssimi Imperatores, existimo, non oportere sexcentorum Episcoporum Vnitatem, post rantos labores, ex contentione Paucorum hominum refricari: My moste Graceous Lordes, in my Iudgemente, it is not meete, after so greate paines taken, for the contentions striuinge of a fewe, to hazarde the consente, and Vnitie of Six hundred Bishoppes. Thus the Heretique Auxentius alleged greate multitudes of his Companions, againste S. Hilarie, and the Catholiques: whiche, he saide, were but a fewe.
