Hart.

Hart. How? By the preface of aIsidore him self set before the Councils. For therein, having showed how he was moved (by the request of fourscore Bishops) to gather the canons together: and we have interlaced (saith he) the decrees of certain epistles of the Bishops of Rome, to wit of Clemens, Anacletus, Evaristus, and the rest, such epistles as we could find yet, till Sylvester the Pope; after the which we have set down the Council of Nice, and after that the remnant of the Popes decrees even until S. Gregori. Thus far S. Isidore. And is not he a Father? an author worthy of credit?
