§ 91. Binnius recordeth that Leutherius Archbishop of Sens did now ⟨p. 338⟩begin the Heresy of Berengarius. It seems then, neither Luther, nor Zuinglius, nor Berengarius, nor Bertram (alias Ratram) began it. But where will the reader find that Transubstantiation was yet named, or by any consent received? so that this is but to confess that yet the doctrine contrary to Transubstantiation did still obtain: And the name of heresy from Baron. or Bin. signifies no more against this Archbishop than the name of Magic and Diabolism against Sylvester 2. from many Historians.

(Oh that Princes had sooner discerned the evil of such ambition and aspiring!) At last the Emperor (being present) carried it, and chose an Archbishop who was ordained to Bamberg.
