Rainoldes. Genebrard objecteth ignorance of antiquity to the Century-writers. *But in bringing this to convince their ignorance, he bewrayeth his own. For Thomas, and Montanus whom Gregory made free-men and citizens of Rome, were his 2slaves, or bondmen. Now, amongst the Romans any man might lawfully make his bond men, free: and whom he made free, them he made citizens; as by 3their ancient law, so by uJustinian's, who lived before Gregory's time, and xrevived it. Wherefore the enfranchising of Thomas and Montanus proveth not that Rome was of the Popes dominion more the• of any other Romans. And so the circumstance of Gregory's time and testimony, which Genebrard would strengthen his tale ⟨p. 414⟩with, doth weaken it. For neither is the city of Rome named by Gregory amongst the Churches lands, as I was about to say: and at the very time, that Gregory was Pope, the Emperors held the city, & governed it (as they were wont) by a 6Lord Deputy. Then hitherto his witnesses of Constantine's donation do bring it small comfort. Do the rest say more for it?
