§ 57. But now we have two Popes, John and Leo: and to this Day it is not known, nor agreed among the Roman Doctors, which was the true Pope. 1Most say Leo: Baron. and Bin. say, John; and call ⟨p. 331⟩Leo a Schismatic; confessing yet, that Scriptores in finiti numeri call him Leo 8th. and own him. How then shall we derive their succession? John's Kindred got the better, when the Emperor was gone, and called him again, and cast out Leo. Now we have two Heads, and so two Churches; the Church of John, and the Church of Leo.
§ 57. But now we have two Popes, Iohn and Leo: and to this Day it is not known, nor agreed among the Roman Doctors, which was the true Pope. 1Most say Leo: Baron. and Bin. say, Iohn; and call ⟨p. 331⟩Leo a Schismatick; confessing yet, that Scriptores in finiti numeri call him Leo 8th. and own him. How then shall we derive their succession? Iohn's Kindred got the better, when the Emperour was gone, and called him again, and cast out Leo. Now we have two Heads, and so two Churches; the Church of Iohn, and the Church of Leo.
