Church-history of the government of bishops and their councils abbreviated including the chief part…

VII. The Pope is exempt from all humane judgment: The whole Council therefore were impudent or ignorant to Condemn a Pope, which none ever did but a Heretic or Schismatic.¹ Ans. 1st. That is, such as you are able to call General Councils, Emperors and Kings, Heretics and Schismatics; if they presume to judge a Heretic, Schismatic, or devilish Pope. But your faculty proveth not another culpable. 2. Did not Solomon judge Abiathar? Did not many Councils Condemn Honorius, and many other Popes. 3. What a case is your miserable Catholic Roman Church in then; when Popes may kill, ravish, blaspheme, and destroy and no Man can judge them, neither King nor Council? 4. Why said you, that the whole Church did consent to your Pope, when all this Council, and all the Clergy, and People at Rome thus begged for another. 5. If all your Bishops of Italy, German•, ²&c. are utterly impudent or ignorant as you call these; What an honour is this to the Prelacy of your Church? And is it not because your Popes ordained them, and like will generate its like. Such other trifling objections they frame.
