Rainoldes. If they may be possibly, which you must needs grant: then is it certain that it was not meant by the words of Christ that they should not fail in doctrine of faith. For whatsoever he saith, that it shall not be: that cannot be possibly. But it it is no surer that they may be heretics: then it is manifest, that some of them have been. For when the Church was pestered with the heresy of the Monothelites, who, (whereas Christ is made our Saviour and redeemer by that he doth consist of mtwo natures, God and man; and as of two natures, so of ntwo wills, agreeably to the natures,) they say that Christ hath but only *one will, and by consequent but one nature; which razeth the ground of our salvation: Honorius the Pope did hold and teach this heresy. The osixth general council found him guilty of it: condemned him, and cursed him for it.
