Alphonsus de Castro, 1as I have showed you before, saith thus, It is certain, that some Popes be so void of Learning, that they understand not the Grammar Rules. Erasmus, speaking of sundry the great Learned of your side, saithe thus, Sibi videntur Semidei, miro supercilio prae see despicientes Grammaticos: Qui si Grammaticae litassent, non ad hunc modum see pueris deridendos propinarent: They think them selves half Gods, and with high looks they despise poor Grammarians. But if they had well Learned their Grammar, they would not offer such occasions, that children, and babes should scorn at their folly.

Concerning the whole matter, your Doctors of Sorbona in Paris have concluded thus, Ut Concilium legitimè congregetur, sufficit, quo'd solennitas, & forma luris solenniter sit seruata.1 Quia, si quis trahere velit hoc in disputationem, utrùm Praelati, qui ibi sedent, habeant Rectam Intentionem, & utrùm sint Docti, & utrùm habeant Scientiam Sacrarum Literarum, & animum obediendi Sanae Doctrinae, esset processus in infinitum: That the Council be lawfully assembled, it is sufficient, that y Solemnity, and form of Law be solemnly observed. For if a man would caste doubts, whether the Bishops, that sit in Council, have a good Meaning, and whether they be Learned, and whether they be skilful in the Scriptures, and whether they have a mind to obey sound Doctrine, or no, then we should never make an end.
