Touching the Number of Bishops, present at your Former Assembly at Trident, I refer me self to the Records of the same. If ye find there more then Forty Bishops, I am content to lose my credit. And yet of the same number, Blind sir Robert of Scotland, as I have said before, & M. Pates of England were silly poor Bishops, God knoweth, endowed only with bare names, without Bishoprics. 1In your later Assembly, two of your Holy Fathers were stain there presently in Adultery.
