The sum of the conference between John Rainoldes and John Hart touching the head…The summe of the conference betwene Iohn Rainoldes and Iohn Hart touching the head…

Rainoldes. A lying miracle, no doubt, as ^eAntoninus reporteth it. For he saith that when Thomas was commanded by Pope Gregory to come unto the Council of Lions, and to bring with him that book which he had made by Pope Urban's commandment against the errors of the Grecians, whereof in that Council they were to be convicted: before he went thither, that voice was heard out of the crucifix, by certain who watched Thomas, as he was praying, on a certain night, in S. Dominikes convent-church. I say nothing here of the suspicious circumstances, the time, the night season; the place, the convent-church; the witnesses, lying in wait; the cause, to prove that which should be handled for the Pope against the Grecians in the Council. Only this I say, that seeing in that book (against the errors of the Grecians) Thomas doth falsify the writings of S. Cyril, and of above six hundred Fathers, even the general Council of Chalcedon, to make them bear witness for the Popes supremacy: the miracle pretended to have declared, as from heaven, that Thomas did well in handling so the cause of Christ, was a lying miracle▪ lying, in respect of the form, or of the end; I mean, as either wrought by deceit, or to deceit; by deceit, if men did counterfeit ⟨p. 502⟩the voice; to deceit, if they heard it miraculously in deed. As it is written touching the man of sin, that ^fhis coming is according to the working of Satan with all power, and with lying signs and wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness among them that perish, because they received not the love of truth that they might be saved. Take heed, M. Hart, least that which followeth be verified in you, ^gTherefore shall God send them strong delusion to believe lies, that all they may be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Rainoldes. A lying miracle, no doubt, as ^eAntoninus reporteth it. For he saith that when Thomas was commanded by Pope Gregorie to come vnto the Councell of Lions, and to bring with him that booke which he had made by Pope Vrbanes commandement against the errours of the Grecians, whereof in that Councell they were to be conuicted: before he went thither, that voyce was heard out of the crucifix, by certaine who watched Thomas, as he was praying, on a certaine night, in S. Dominikes coouent-church. I say nothing here of the suspicious circumstances, the time, the night season; the place, the coouent-church; the witnesses, lying in waite; the cause, to proue that which should bee handled for the Pope against the Grecians in the Councell. Onely this I say, that séeing in that booke (against the errors of the Grecians) Thomas doth falsifie the writinges of S. Cyrill, and of aboue six hundred Fathers, euen the generall Councel of Chalcedon, to make them beare witnesse for the Popes supremacie: the miracle pretended to haue declared, as from heauen, that Thomas did well in handling so the cause of Christ, was a lying miracle lying, in respect of the forme, or of the end; I meane, as either wrought by deceit, or to deceit; by deceit, ifmen did counterfeit
