In the Communion book, that beareth the name of Chrysostom, there is mention made of Nicolas Bishop of Rome, who, as I have showed before, lived wellnigh five hundred years after Chrysostom,1 and was in order the second Bishop there, after Dame Joan the woman Pope. Such is the credit, and Antiquity of M. Hardinges witnesses. This second Council of Nice was holden wellnigh eight hundred years after Christ.
