An ancient Priest of whom I would make no mention in this company, if it were not, that they allege his example in this matter,1 did prophesy well although he was no thing worth. But we read none otherwise ⟨image 24⟩but he erred yea both that he & his company in condemning Jesus Christ, for it was the holy Ghost that prophesied in this behalf, and not he which knew not what he said nor what he spoke, being moved with a Spirit very contrarious, that is to say a devilish Spirit because of malice he concluded, to sic a Jesus Christ the Son of God.2 And further if a general Council haeth received this privilege that they can not err in the rule of their doctrine nor in the form of their manners: we demand what time was this privilege dated. For there was never but one God, one Faith,3 and one Church. Now that there was error in the Church in the time of the old Testament the Prophets openly bear witness, and the histories show good proof thereof.4
