Rainoldes. It should be, the epistle ad Romanos, to the Romans: [1 Romanos] made [2 profanos] by the printers error: ⟨p. 107⟩unless he did it of purpose, to show, what now the Romans be: or some corrector changed it, least we by this circumstance should find the place of Cyril. For, this [where he expoundeth the epistle to the Romans] is a great argument, that the Council meant the place in the twelfth book: where Cyril doth handle such points of that epistle as concerned the matter that he had in hand. Which that he should do again, in the same work, with the same sentence, touching the same matter: they who know Cyril, will not think it likely. The less, because it is an usual thing with the Grecians, to divide books otherwise then the Latins do. As, in the Greek testament, the gospel of S. Mark hath more then forty chapters, which hath not twenty in the Latin: and yet notwithstanding the Latin hath the whole, as well as the Greek. Which is the more likely to have been the difference between the Greek Cyril, alleged by the Council, and our Latin Cyril translated out of Greek, because that our Latin hath also other sentences in the tenth book, which are alleged qby the Council out of the four and twentieth: and, in their division, ra chapter and a book did go for all one, whereas the books in Latin are sub-divided into chapters. The mentioning therefore of more books of Cyril's treasure, then we have, removeth not suspicion of forgery from the sayings, which Thomas citeth thence for the Popes supremacy. Chiefly, sith Trapezuntius who translated that work of Cyril into Latin, was a man affectionate greatly to the Pope. That, if he had left out somewhat of that Greek, as he hath perhaps, (unless he used Cyril better then *Eusebius:) yet is it not credible that he would have left out so many places, so notable proofs of a thing so weighty, so nearly touching him whom he so dearly loved. In deed they are too notable, and perfect for the purpose: and such, as, your
