I could not here be put to shift, seeing where our question is off 300. you fetch your proofs off 400. whether I have said 1true: let the reader judge.

And this was not only done by the Council off Calcedon / but by that also off Ephesus / and Constantinople: so that here are three condemnations passed against him / for one absolution. And that what manner off one? verily which appeareth to have been through the favour off the Emperor Martian. For what if he revoked his heresy there / as he had (I think) done before in the Council off Constantinople: yet as I have showed / there was no cause why he should be trusted with such a great charge / no not in the D. judgement (I suppose) so suddenly / and without further trial. Which I say not to discredit his true repentance / and learned writings: but only to show / how totteringly the D. Archbishop is set.
