Hillarius. 1I know that thou doest begin already Eusebius, to agree with us. I believe that thou art of this opinion, that the Pope ought to let the dead rest, without reigning over them, sith that they have more power over the Pope, then the Pope over them: as I will prove it by an example taken from the Authentic book, which is entitled the conformities of Saint Francis. For I have never read that the Pope hath raised to life any dead person, and that he came to answer before him, of all those whom he hath cited, condemned, absolved, or excommunicated. But that book doth witness manifestly that Fryer Walter a Cordelier and Bishop of Poitiers, hath 2caused to be cited after his death by a Schedule, Pope Clement the first, for to appear before the eternal Judge, ⟨p. 287⟩because that he had unjustly deposed him from his office.
Hillarius. 1I know that thou doest beginne already Eusebius, to agree with vs. I beléeue that thou art of this opinion, that the Pope ought to let the dead rest, without reigning ouer them, sith that they haue more power ouer the Pope, then the Pope ouer them: as I will proue it by an example taken from the Autentike booke, which is intituled the conformities of Saint Fraunces. For I haue neuer read that the Pope hath raysed to lyfe any dead person, and that he came to aunswere before him, of all those whom he hath cyted, condempned, absolued, or excommunicated. But that booke doth witnesse manifestly that Fryer Walter a Cordelier and Bishop of Poytiers, hath 2caused to be cyted after his death by a Cedule, Pope Clement the firt, for to appeare before the eternall Iudge, ⟨p. 287⟩bicause that he had vniustly deposed him from his office.
