But, both Julius the Bishop of Rome, and also Athanasius the Bishop of Alexandria make mention hereof. Therefore, there is no cause (saith M. Harding) why this matter should be suspected of any untruth. This removing of suspicion, I know not how, seemeth somewhat to increase suspicion. If there were not a sore, what should it thus need to be salved?1 In deed, Julius allegeth a Canon of the Council of Nice: But M. Hardinges Canon he allegeth not. And the compiler of the Councils, gave this note in the Margin touching the same. Hoc Statutum solùm reducibile est ad quintum, & sextum Caput Niceni Concilij: Verùm apertè non inuenitur. This Decree may only be reduced to the fifth and sixth Chapter of the Council of Nice: But expressly it is not found. Such credit is to be given to this Julius in his allegations.
