T. Seeing we are happened upon this matter of calling & holding of Councils, I would be very glad if that thou wouldest declare unto me some little piece of the order that the papists do observe in holding of Councils, to the end that I might the more easily understand if we should have as small hope in them, as thou hast. D. Thou doest ask of me a very hard thing. For how should I declare to thee yt order of those which have no order?

Thou shouldest have spoken a great deal more aptly if thou haddest required me to declare unto thee the disorder: the which always they cloak in such sort, that it shall seem in deed to those that shall behold the manner of their proceeding, that they will observe the order that hath been used in the ancient Councils, saving that the Popes do always seek to encroach not only upon the authority of Emperors, kings, & Christian princes, more then the ancient bishops did: but also upon the word of god, & the Church.

We have already showed how the ancient Emperors, kings, & Christian princes did accustom to assemble the Coū cells: not always by tyranny, but by good accord & agreement with the good Bishops & the true pastors of the Church: now the Popes do not only take unto them authority over Emperors, kings, & christian princes, such as in time passed they were wont to have over the Popes & the other Bishops: But also when they have had the means. They have caused Councils to be holden of their own authority in despite of the Emperors & princes when they did know that they
