Rainoldes. Neither in the fourscore canons of the Arabian. Wherefore if the sundry things, which they speak of, do prove all sundry canons: the Arabian canon, which cHarpsfield's Cope allegeth for the Popes supremacy, may chance to prove a counterfeit. Nay, it must prove so, because it is a canon: if you believe the Fathers. For they had only twenty: even the same that we have. S dAustin and above two hundred Bishops of Africa acknowledged no mo. eCaecilian, the Bishop of Carthage brought no mo from the Council it self, whereat he was present. S. fCyril the Bishop of Alexandria, & gAtticus the Bishop of Constantinople, affirm there were no mo. hRufinus, who hath registered them in his story, delivereth no mo. Finally, S. iIsidore, a curious searcher of them, saith, they were just so many. As for other Fathers, if they show any thing to have been decreed by the Nicene Council, which is not in these canons, as kthey do certain: the lcanons & decrees of the council of Trent may teach you that some things might be decreed besides, and yet the canons be but twenty.
